OK....I have offically moved over to blogger! I hope that you will follow me over there. My new blog address is http://allthingsstamped.blogspot.com/ and it does work in the Google Reader for those of you using it.

I can't believe that I have been blogging for a year in August! Wow...this whole thing was started to motivate me to stamp with all those things I purchased and stop hoarding things. I think that mission was accomplished but I have only just begun on my papercrafting journey.

So add me to your favs and check out my new home.....I really like it.

P.S. This is my new mailbox that Bill made me with a solar light on top of the post. I am posting this because 1) I love it 2) he made a sarcastic comment about me posting it on my blog.....so here it is!

I really should be doing other things like cleaning my house, mending my slip covers, organizing my office, finishing up the thank you goodies for Bailey's party, re-emptying the dining room table, mopping the floors and etc, etc, etc.....

But instead I am wasting time on the computer.....ok in my book it's not really wasting time because I am finding all kinds of useful stuff to share with all of you! {I am enabling all of you...that's a good thing...right?}

1. First up...yesterday on Stacy Julian's blog she posted a link to a SUPER cool new home show company called Uppercase Living! OMG....I want it all. They make wall quotes that you can transfer to your walls or to just about anything. I am in LOVE I tell you. Of course, I shared this info with Amy because she just hand painted quotes on her walls....can you believe the girl is already checking into becoming a demo? Oh yeah! Check it out.
2. Use this address http://allthingsstamped.blogspot.com/ for my new blog if you are adding me to your Google Reader....it works right away. This Yahoo blog is still not feeding to the Google Reader....which really stinks.
3. One of my scrapbooking heros, Donna Downey, is having an awesome Give Away for the next 11 days. She is giving away a new Arccivo to the person that is post number 14 on her blog to celebrate the release of the Arccivo....that is going to take some serious blog stalking but if you are up for it....the prize is soooo worth it. I already got my Arccivo in the mail last week....I ordered it a long time ago when they were doing pre-orders and it is AWESOME. I love it. Go the Arccivo web site and watch the video demo that Donna has posted. You will want one too...or maybe you can win one from Donna.
4. The new Caardvarks Challenge is up! They are having a ribbon challenge that sounds super cool. Go check it out and get going on your cards. You have til August 3rd to enter as many cards as you can for the contest.

Alrighty, that's enough enabling for now. I am sure I can come up with so much more to share but....I really do have to accomplish something today and make it look like I was productive before Bill gets home soon. Oh and I have to go hide all the cool stuff I bought at the thrift store today...YIKES! He won't care that I bought it....but it's just more projects for him to do...tee hee! See ya on the blog!

My friend Anna from the blog Stampanna has nominated me as a Rockin Girl Blogger! Whooooo! Thanks Anna....I think you are pretty "rockin" too! {Anna owns a stamp store in Clifton, NJ called Stampingly Yours and she is my HERO! If you live in the area stop in and visit Anna and tell her I sent you!}

So now I get to nominate 5 girls that I think are Rockin Girl Bloggers. Hmmmmm....you would think this would be easy peasy with the amount of blogs in my Google Reader but it's not that easy because I love soooooo many blogs out there and think they all rock! So.....here we go.

1. Nicole at The Ink Blog
2. Connie at Is that your monkey?
3. Jacki at The Card Castle
4. Patsy at Paper Blessings
5. Gena at My Stampin Garden
6. Trish at Tah Dah!

OK...there ya have it...I added an extra for good measure! So you girls get to add the badge to you blog and nominate 5 of your Rockin Girl Bloggers to the list. My list could go on for days and days but I am nominating these girls because the deserve some bloggin love. So click away and go visit my friends!

FYI....I posted this on my Blogger account too....All Things Stamped. I will just start doing both for now til I am ready for the complete transition in a few days.

Today is my baby's birthday and she is a whopping 6 years old! Oh my goodness....time sure does fly...right Amy? She was my neighbor and temp birthing coach {thank God Bill made it home} while I was pregnant with Bailey. If Amy would have been in the delivery room she would have passed out! LOL Anyway, Amy and Darrell were Bailey first hospital visitors and they are her God Parents as well.

Here is one of my favorite pics of Bailey from this summer. She has the most beautful brown eyes and the cutest crooked smile a mom could ever love! Happy Birthday baby girl. Tomorrow is her "party" with some friends in the backyard....pray for good weather as I ordered a bounce house for the kids!

**The Vote** OK...in my last post I asked you girls to vote on weather or not I should move over to blogger and I think I am going to move....since NO ONE has voted...I guess that means it's up to me and you my faithful readers {LOL} will follow me.

So when I have time I'll start the move permanently but for now I am here. See ya on the blog.
