Stamp Time Somewhere

Happy Halloween

Hope everyone has a fun Halloween. I am sick sick sick sick ummm....sick. SO not so much fun for me, but I am going to try to pull it together for a little bit to see the boys trick or treat some.

I can't believe I'm going to do it all again

I am going to rearrange the upstairs. What does this have anything to do with stamping you might ask....well, I will be moving back in to my old stamp/classroom. Yup, the boys are going back to their own rooms and the stamp room is coming back. After moving the rooms around, we have encountered a few extra challenges and have also made the decision not to add to our family any time soon. (One of our original reasons for moving everything was to have an "extra" room) I am looking forward to having my old room back, as well as *hopefully* easier bedtimes with the boys. Soooo....my world may be a little crazy over the next week.

Hubby also starts his training for his new position next week and will be on day shift...the following week graveyard, then days, then......

I will try to keep up on postings and such. Even though I am really trying to figure out where all my readers have gone....my numbers are kind of in the dumps lately.....oh well.

A Nature Walk in Vegas?

How do you go on a nature walk in Vegas? It's not all that easy, let me tell you.  While most of the country can walk right outside their door and find cool trees and leaves, I had to resort to doing the almost unthinkable for a "local" - go to ....the STRIP.

Thanks to the Bellagio, I can take my boys on fantastic "nature walks"

  (But y'all don't have trees like this......)

             You can click on any of the photos to enlarge them...they are pretty cool!
