I am happily stamping and designing away in my stamp room. I'd be happier if it wasn't getting cold in here. That new window doesn't seem to be doing it's job tonight as the temperature dips below zero! Bubba and Don went on a trip. According to Don, they are living the high life! Ron and I are here. Ron made it all the way to 7:50 tonight. I am still going. How? --A Splitcoast Stampers Challenge Night!
Each hour a new challenge is posted. I am going to show you a few of what I accomplished. I am finding the challenges fun! My goal was to create samples for my upcoming retiring stamp camp, so I am going to show you those ideas...You may or may not see them in my upcoming events!

To close, I am following my hostess's lead...
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old times since ?
CHORUS:For auld lang syne,
my dear,for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Happy New Year!
