Lori who wrote “Hi Michelle, I so enjoy your tutorials (via email), your site, and your work of course! I sure wish you were coming to Seattle Washington!! I keep my eyes open ‘just in case’ all the time.

I would love to win this; it’s been that kind of month!
Thanks for the chance

Lori, please e-mail your address to me at mzindorf@aim.com.

Thank you to everyone who played along!

I don’t have a tutorial finished yet for you today.  I have been busy with my cousin’s twin Daughters, Lauren and Lindsay.  They spent the night and had a fun time using the my Cuttlebug to create these cards for their Aunt.  They gave them to her yesterday at her baby shower.  It was so fun watching them create.   If you were wondering I did not even get the embossing powder or brayer out to show them, lol. 

Girls, your creations are terrific! 

May your day be a fun one. 

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

Hugs,

Michelle

Hello there!  I thought I would share a swap card I have been working on all day.  Now I remember why I don’t do multiples of cards, lol.

I did take pictures of the process and will post a tutorial if it is within the swap rules.  I will check it out and post the tutorial if I can.

My heavens, I have to mention that I already have quite a few spots filled for the Buffalo, Minnesota workshops June 5 & 6 that I had just barely mentioned on an earlier post.  It is on my calendar now.   If you are in that area I would love to meet you!  E-mail me at mzindorf@aim.com for details. 

The spots are getting limited for the Wheaton, Illinois workshops, March 13 & 14.  There are a few spots left in Covington, Indiana for May 16 & 17 also.

I have even more news to share. . . . . . .I am now a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator.  If you see any of Stampin’ Up’s great products (such as the set I used for the card above “Branch Out”) and you just have to have them, please e-mail me or order directly online from me 24-7 from my Stampin’ Up website at http://michellezindorf.stampinup.net

Sorry, this post turned into a commercial, lol.  Hopefully I will be back with a grand tutorial tomorrow.

Hope everyone is staying happy, healthy and warm today.

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

Hugs,

Michelle

Whew!  Things are getting a bit overwhelming here at the Zindorf homestead.  So much to do, so much to think about.  The job search still continues for us, but we are doing fine.  FRAZZLED, but fine.  Sometimes I just want to hold on to the chair I’m in and ask the world to stop spinning so I can get caught up, lol.  But instead when things get tough the tough get cutting!  At least I did today since I am under the weather also.  I received a package of new stamp sheets from Innovative Stamp Creations and spent a bit of time cutting them up.  If you want to check out their stamp line here is the link:  http://www.innovativestampcreations.com/ischomepage.html

I’m just showing you the back sides of the stamps in this picture.  I’m such a tease!  I think you will love their new line that will be released this month.

If you have never used unmounted stamps before and want to know how to prepare them check out this previous post I did on the subject:

http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2008/08/06/tool-time-red-rubber-stamp-sheets/

Oh heck, how about a little sneak peek of a card project that I will be doing in my Beginner Brayer Workshops that are coming up. 

What you haven’t signed up yet!  Here is the link to my Brayer Workshop Calendar:

Hey, I hope you are feeling your very best today.

Huge Hugs,

Michelle

This is a sad little post, but I thought what the heck, you readers are my cyber friends so here it goes. . . . . .  

I am currently searching for a full time job for myself.  Anyone have any leads on job positions in the Dayton, Ohio to Richmond, Indiana area?  I can do anything from stock shelfs to bookkeeping, receptionist, secretary etc.  I am a very dedicated and hard worker.  Please let me know if I can provide you with one of my resumes.  Any leads at all are appreciated.

Huge Hugs to all of you!

Until my next post. . . . . .

“Anyway, I always love a sunset with vibrant pinks and purples in them….”

Lee, please e-mail your address to mzindorf@aim.com and I will get this terrific stamp set out to you.  Congratulations!

Thank to all who played along!
