Pumpkin Pie Spice Hot Chocolate

I am just trying to get a start on some Craft Sale items because it is all starting up NEXT MONTH - The first one is just a few short weeks away.  I made up some of the yummy homemade hot chocolate mix and added Pumpkin Pie Spice to it - can I say it now?...YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!!!  Glenda gave me some fun tea tins several years ago and I am finally using them.
 I used the Frightful Fence Jumbo Wheel (that I transformed into a stamp), sponged up some Smoky Slate Card Stock with Basic Gray Classic Ink for the feeling of a hazy night, and since it was Pumpkin Pie Spice Hot Chocolate I HAD to add some pumpkins from the Fall Fest Bundle.
 My Digital Studio is a big help when I need to make my own labels.
So won't you join me at the craft sales?  Check out the side bar of this blog to get all the details of dates and places.
Here are the supplies that I used:

Sentimental Sunday

Sunday, September 28, 2014
Today we fly home from our Washington DC Incentive Trip!!  Wow! what a great few days!  I know it's only been 4 days but I can't wait to hold my grand babies again.  This is the card that I made for them using the Photopolymer stamp set called MAP IT OUT and GREETINGS FROM.  You won't find these in the catalog but they are still available.  Check out the supply list below.  I created the MISSING YOU using my ALPHABET ROTARY STAMP.
Thanks for stopping by!
And thanks again for helping me to achieve my very first Incentive Trip.  Next trip?  glad you asked!  I am now working at earning next years Incentive Trip.  Stampin' Up! offers 2 trips - one is a weekend get away like the one we were just on and a full excursion trip.  Last years full excursion trip was for Hawaii and the lucky gals who earned that trip will be flying off to Hawaii next May.  The one I REALLY WANT is the next one and I have until the end of June 2015 to get enough points which is based on sales and promotions.  Where to? It is a Mediterranean Cruise! Spain, France and Italy!! So I am going to work HARD to try and earn this one!!

Silly Saturday

Saturday, September 27, 2014
Last week Saturday our family met at an apple orchard for our family photo shoot.  We bumped up our time due to the rain and were very thankful that we were able to get the majority of our photos taken before the down pour.  While we were hibernating in the building and our photographer was getting some inside shots, Gracie and I were taking pictures with Henry and Violet.







 I guess I am the fun Gramma!!, but aren't they so very cute!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Safe arrival

Friday, September 26, 2014
We arrived safely in Washington DC with only one 1 hour delay because the flight attendant was late - go figure.
Violet is joining us on our excursion - it's actually a working vacation for her because she is my neck pillow - how fun!  Don't tell her though, she thinks she's hot stuff.  She heard it was going to be sunny and 80 degrees here!
What about Henry, you ask?  Well Gracie is Henry-sitting and she is showing him a good time.  Here is a picture of Henry and Gracie's pal Glimmer that Gracie sent me.  She said that he is having so much fun.  Of course she also asked me if I was going to bring any new friends home for Henry.  Yikes! I think I started something big.
A beautiful lobby


 Was so excited to run into Sara Douglas - what a sweet gal
After a wonderful dinner at the Chinese restaurant we came back to our room and look was was waiting for us...
 Bet you guessed by the label that it was cupcakes LOL!
My sister and her hubby are driving here from South Jersey to spend the day with us today so I'm double excited about a fun day with them.
Thanks for stopping by!

Destination Washington DC

Thursday, September 25, 2014
This morning Dale and I leave for Washington DC - SOOOOO excited!!  Thank you to everyone who made this incentive trip possible.  I thought it was appropriate to feature a patriotic card for today considering where we are going.  I thought I cased this card from one of my fellow Red Hot Stampers but no one has owned up to it so if you were the original designer of this card please let me know so I can give you credit.
This card would be great for a thank you at Veterans Day.  That would be YOU - Daddy!
Thank you again for making this possible! I appreciate you all so very much!
