No Stamping for me today.

301 Comments

Sadly, there is no time for stamping today.  A quick ditty this morning is all I have time for. . . .. . .

A lady and her co-workers go to a bar after a hard days work to unwind.  As she is sitting there the most gorgeous man she has ever seen walked in.  She couldn’t help but take little glances at him out of the corner of her eye.  Much to her disbelief he walked over to her and said “for twenty dollars I’ll do any thing you ask me to do”.  She thought for a moment, reached down and got a twenty out of her purse and said “Clean my house”, lol.

 That’s how I’m feeling today.  Much to do in way of housework.  We are having a birthday party for my Grand Daughter this weekend and I have a messy house to get ready for company.

There are so many comments on yesterday’s post, I’m so very amazed!  I would love to know where everyone is from.  Give me a shout out today by commenting on this post telling me were you live.  I’ll start by telling you I’m from West Alexandria, Ohio.

If you are getting my blog updates by e-mail and you want to comment, please click this link to take you to my blog:   http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2008/07/17/no-stamping-for-me-today/

 Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow, Friday, I will be announcing the winner of yesterday’s blog candy.

May your day be a peaceful and relaxing one. 

Until my next post.. . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle

    I live in St. Louis, MO but lived in Youngstown, Cleveland and Cincinnati, OH when I was younger 🙂 Not sure exactly where West Alexandria but Ohio is beautiful. BTW, I’d give that guy $50 for cleaning my house!

    Good luck cleaning today, Michelle. Know that you are missed but time with family (and a clean house to do so) should trump stamping anyday!

    I’m currently reading your blog from Mililani, Hawaii. Originially I’m from Southeast MO (and just spend a month there helping my mom organize her stamping space!). Thanks for all that you do! Aloha, Kim

    PS Hau’oli La Hanau (Happy Birthday) to your granddaughter 🙂

    Am a great fan of your artwork. Wish I had such creative ideas. Am going through withdrawal at the moment. Just returned from NY where my mom & sis live. Had them here for 2 wks – loved every min but one is elderly & the other handicapped so no time to stamp. BTW I live in Virginia Beach, VA Have 2 days to play & 2 to clean house before grandson & 2 granddaughters arrive for 3 wks, niece & her friend arrive during that time as well. Will lock myself in my craft room after everyone is gone & try to do something of my own using all your wonderful tutorials. Today & tomorow are dedicated DH days!!!!! Have a great BDay party but remember everyone is there for the fun & togetherness not a house inspection! LOL………………

    Hi Michelle!!
    I have enjoyed reading all the comments left today…it’s so cool to see where everyone who reads your blog is from! I was born and raised in NE Ohio, specifically, the tiny township of Vienna, near Youngstown. Actually just a township over from Kathy from Cortland! I have been happily transplanted to Florida since 1982.
    I have learned so much from your blog! No stamping for me today either….my 5 month old granddaughter is helping me read your blog today!!!
    Hugs,
    Lynnor

    Hi Michelle! Send that cleaning guy to my house when you’re finished with him — I’d gladly pay $20 for a good housecleaning and I don’t live that far from you! I’m in West Harrison, Indiana (just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio). I just recently found your blog and am totally awed by the stamping you do — your creations are beautiful pieces of artwork. Thanks for the tutorials you provide. I hope to find the time soon to attempt some of the tutorials and see what I come up with.

    Michelle I am from New Plymouth, New Zealand.I am new to stamping and very envious of the stamps you have at your disposal. With the exchange rate it makes it just a little out of my price range to order stamps from the states. I am a hobby demo for stampin up though, I has been in New Zealand for 15months.

    Needless to say your cards are completely wonderful – your blog is first on the list when the computer is turned on. But in addition to all that – I’ve had a kick reading where everyone is from – WOW. About half way through, I realized it was a lot like a beauty contest – “Hi, I’m Jane Doe from Dallas, TX and I want world peace (so I can have more time to stamp)” LOL – Oh guess I should say “Hi, I’m Elaine from Vancouver, WA”
    Thx for all you do – you’ve taught me so much!

    Smart lady ! I love the “come clean my house” comeback.
    Don’t use up all your energy cleaning house. You need to have the energy to enjoy your grandchild birthday party. There’s nothing so special. And I expect to see the birthday card you create for it ! I know it will be very special.

My family consists of no children, 1 house dog, 4 wild rabbits living in my yard, 3 squirrels living in my walnut tree, 1-3 deer that come and go through the corn field, 1 wonderful husband who lives on the golf course :D, and lots of birds. Happy House Cleaning to you !!!!! Becky

    WOW, you have readers from ALL over! How cool is that! Even New Zealand! Hey, I noticed a couple of people live in Staples, MN. I was just wondering – do they get free “EASY” buttons?! LOL Sorry, I couldn’t resist that one. I live in Northville, MI which is close to your reader Dawn who lives in Canton. They are both suburbs of Detroit. I have also lived in Stroudsburg PA, Morristown TN, Anderson SC, Hendersonville TN, Madison WI, and Davenport IA. I just felt like saying that since it sounds more exotic than just saying Northville MI. ROFL I say forget the house cleaning – stamping and blog surfing is WAY more fun!

    Hi Michelle,

    I’m a Kiwi (like the new card colour) so that’s why my spelling is strange! I live in Invercargill New Zealand (which I understand is the southernmost city in the world), and visit your blog every day. It’s winter here just now, and where I live, in the south, it only gets up to a maximum of about 10 degress Celcius each day, and maybe down to minus 2 or 3 degrees Celcius over night. We’re in a time zone ahead of most of your other fans – so it’s 7.30 on Friday morning for me as I’m sending this comment your way. I’ve been stamping for quite a few years now, and enjoying learning to stamp ‘the Zindorff way’. Thank you for all your tutorials Michelle, as you can see, there are a lot of us who really appreciate what you do. Happy Birthday to your grand-daughter and enjoy the party.

    I just hate it when work gets in the way of “playing”. I just had one glorious week of vacation in which I stayed home, got up when I wanted to, went to bed when I wanted to and did whatevery I wanted in-between (translate…..creating cards and paper crafting). What fun! I hope you have many days/weeks like the one I just enjoyed.

    I love that joke! Sounds like a great idea to me!
    I’m living in Nova Scotia, Canada right now, but we are very soon packing up and returning to my homeland of New Zealand. After 14 years we are going back…can’t wait!
    Our house is for sale now(which is why that joke appealed to me so much!), and once that sells (anyone wanna make an offer?! LOL!), we’ll be off, hopefully no later than September. I have my school reunion to go to at the end of October, so I have to be there for that!

    Kia ora to Judy and Sharlene in New Plymouth, and Anne in Invercargill! I’m going to live in Dunedin (next city up from Invercargill). We’ll be neighbours!
