Do you have a sister?
You know what? I don't have a sister but I have truly always wanted someone that I feel that close to. I was thinking that I had so much fun with the Secret Angel swap and I know others did too so why not try a short term (for now) secret sister swap?
The idea is that you sign up, fill out a questionnaire (and send it back to me), I'll assign you a secret sister, I'll send you a sister (with questionnaire) and you get to spoil your sis for a full 6 weeks! The requirement each week would be at least one card a week with a little "something" for your sis to be excited about. It could be stamped images that they don't have and want, the little Studio G stamp sets (if they are okay with that), or maybe something yummy that they like to eat. During the final week you will send something with around a $15 maximum value and reveal who you are! I've been asked about international sisters and I personally think that will be fine. If you'd prefer to not have an international sister please let me know. I know I have some Canadian friends that visit my blog and one lovely young lady from Sweden. Yes, shipping will be slightly more and it will take a little more work but it will be worth it!!!
I will provide you with your sister, a link to a thank you/excitement post to comment on when you receive something (and I'll explain how to get e-mail updates on those comments), and reminder posts once a week.
So, my friends...what do you think? I think this will be soooo much fun and I hope that lots of you will want to participate. Please, though...if you have something coming up in the next month or so that will keep you from full participating, don't sign up this time around.
Because I want to get this going as soon as possible I'll need you to sign up by December 31st. I'll get your secret sis out to you on January 1st. You'll be able to spoil your secret sis until the reveal week of February 11th, which also happens to be Valentine's Day week!!!!
Won't that be fun?!
Go ahead and post here that you'd like to join and ALSO you must e-mail me (mom2kjs at yahoo dot com) your interest so that I can send you a questionnaire...just commenting your interest on this post will not work!
This will stay at the top until the 31st. Please check below for new posts!
Now go! Sign up!!!

A New Hanna Set!
Did you know that there is a new Hanna set out? Yep, Kristi releases a new set on the 15th of each month and this months set is called Perfect Present and it just has a ton of great images! I made this card with some of the new Bali Breeze designer paper from SU!. It is very basic and simple 'cuz it was for Todd. There is a story behind that bow but I think I'll not get into it here on my blog!The other thing I keep forgetting to show you (although I'm sure you've seen it already) is the cover of the Spring/Summer Collection 2008 catalog. I
LOVE the colors that they used for this catalog and the layout is wonderful! I can't say that I have a favorite stamp set as of yet but I do love the Designer Papers, Simply Scrappin' Kits, and the accessories. There is some fun looking glitter combinations in there, too! I definitely see one or two hostess sets that I'd like to own too! If you need a copy of the catalog just let me know!Have a great Saturday everyone!
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Hanna Stamps Perfect Present
Ink: Pumpkin Pie and Adirondack Pitch Black
Card stock: Taken with Teal, Bali Breeze, Pumpkin Pie, PaperTrey Ink White

Me? Nah!
| The Recipe For Lorie |
 3 parts Wisdom 2 parts Fun 1 part Craftiness Splash of Dignity Finish off with a squeeze of lime juice |
I made an RAK and received an RAK!!!
A couple of times a month there are calls on the yahoo groups that I belong to for special RAK's to be sent out. Most often it is when a family member or friend is having a hard time of things and the person would like to support them. Sometimes I send a card and sometimes I don't. Well, this last time I decided to send a card. The call came out through my Bellaholicsanonymous group but I decided to use one of th Happy Hopper images that I had gotten while ago. The top card is what I came up with. I have to say that I'm totally in love with the card. You can see the recipe for this card HERE. There is just something about this card that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy...uh, duh Lorie! It could be that the fuzzy bunny is in a hot tub of its own therefore the warm and fuzzy feeling!!! 
The RAK I received is from Keri Lee over at the blog Pink Lemonade. She is also a major player at Cornish Heritage Farms. Keri writes the technique tutorials for CHF among other things. Have you been to CHF recently? Not to long ago they had a new release night and the fantastic broad stripe background you see on the card in the picture is one of the new stamps! You should definitely go check them out! Thank you, Keri! I have already looked at the magazine and found a ton of things I'd like to try...including your creations! Make sure you all go check out Keri's blog and CHF as I know you'll love both!!!
Have a great Friday everyone!
