Light up my Life

Hi Blog Friends,

Well, last week was a really long one for me with the ankle injury... but I got through it and it's finally starting to make progress.  I finally figured out a way to work at my computer and keep the leg elevated.  It's propped up on my desk next to my keyboard with ice on it.  And YES, it looks ridiculous and is killer on the back, but it does help a lot. No, I'm not going to share that picture with you (!), lol. 

But... here's a photo of the new little pond by our front door that my sweet husband just built for me:

It's bigger than it looks in the photo, and has 3 little waterfalls.  We had a huge waterfall and pond at the house we lived in previously (which Dan also built...kind of his thing), and our grandsons loved it.  So I figured a little fish pond by the front door would keep all the little guys entertained.  You can see the little baby koi in the top center.  Dan is going to build a great big one in the backyard... probably next year... one project at a time!  We recently moved into a new house with no landscaping... so it's been a constant project.

SO!  I was able to get a lot of work done this weekend toward the new CHA releases, which I can't wait to share with you.  Soon.

In the meantime, I promised you a peek at another one of the new Spring releases.  Here's the stamp set:

This set is #JCS0117 Light Up My Life, and it retails for $24.95.  Here are a few of the projects that Tonya made using this stamp set:

I love the way the letters look on this one.  Here's another card:

And another card:

I'll share the dimensional projects from this set with you on Wednesday and give you some more details.  AND I'll tell you how you can WIN THIS RUBBER STAMP SET FOR FREE!  

In the meantime, I promised to randomly draw some names from recent post comments and give you prizes!  I'll continue to do this throughout the month, so be sure to leave a comment when you stop by and you'll be eligible for the drawings.  OK, the randomly drawn winners are:

Glad you are feeling better! The pond looks like lots of fun. I have a feeling my grandchildren would try to swim with the fish!
I received my Darcie's club box last Friday! Love, love, love the stamp set! I immediately sat down and made a card for a wedding reception I was going to Friday night!
