Good morning everyone!

I have been busy preparing for our annual family picnic, held in Antioch (another hot place in northern California) this Saturday. This is a tradition passed on by my grandmother and her children really kept it up for as long as they could. There are only two left out of the sixteen and it is for my generation to keep it going. Being in our golden years, we're trying to get enthusiasm from that "X-er" generation to continue it...hmmmm...we'll see....

In the meantime, I've inked up another fun Stella. I was watching the success story of Pixar Studios on CNBC last night and it reminded me of the days I worked as an Executive Assistant and the early days of a certain hand held computing company. Boy...talk about the good old days. Stella's "out of my mind" message is something I'd wanted to say when people called during our IPO stage, but you know...you have to be professional and keep your thoughts to yourself. That's why there's Stella from Bugaboo stamps! :-)

Thanks for stopping by. Have a super wonderful day!

Stella...

Happy Friday!

I could hardly wait to ink up my new Stella stamps from Bugaboo Stamps. There is a fantastic sale going on with 50% off EVERYTHING - so I had fun shopping. I'd been wishing I could get a bunch of Stella's and when Jodie announced the sale, I was in craft heaven!

I chose a number of Stella stamps and started inking them up - you'll see more of these babies.

I thought working girl Stella should be all dolled up in red with her dazzling red shoes because she is working hard. :-) I used glossy accents on her glasses but the light isn't reflecting well off of it. I added red gems and a red bow for that special effect. I inked up the edges with Versa Magic "red brick" (by Tsuneko). Don't you just love what my girl is telling you? This actually goes with another Stella but I switched it because Stella is too comfortable at her age to really do any hard work! Teehee....

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! :~)
