Why I haven't been around this summer

Okay so you've obviously noticed my lack of posts this summer and I want to give you a little idea of what my summer has been like. I always think we are going to relax during the summer and I'm always WRONG!!

Here's a brief synopsis:

• I ran an Art Camp for 43 kiddos
• Tried to fix plumbing at the lake
• Taught puppets at Vacation Bible School
• Planned scavenger hunt birthday for Caleb
• Entertained Emma with full on Girl Time while Caleb was at BoyScout Camp
• Had Stampin' UP! open house with new catalog
• Brownie meeting (out door cooking class)
• Took Emma to church camp
• Tried to fix plumbing at the lake
• Brownie meeting (sit upons)
• Picked Emma up from church camp
• Celebrated 12th wedding anniversary
• Took Caleb to church camp
• Had sleep over with 3 little girls
• Picked Caleb up from church camp
• Fixed the plumbing at the lake...kind of
• Took 11 girls to Girl Scout camp
• Took 2 chickens to the Marion County Fair
• Took Emma to another camp
• Picked Emma up from camp so she could show her chicken
• Kids got blue ribbons on their chickens
• Took Emma back to camp

We also had playdates, went to the Children's museum and pool. It's been a great summer!!

In exactly 2 weeks they will go back to school...maybe then I will have a bit more time for Stampin' UP!!

Back to Basics...with SIP

STAMPS, INK and PAPER is all you really need to make a beautiful card. This card is a perfect example of that. Sometimes people see beautiful but extravagant cards and then they think..."I could never do that" well there's no reason you have to. Everyone finds a style that they love...for me it's clean and simple. I love ribbon and buttons and things but most of the time I like a very simple card.

My Why...

I have decided to take on a new challenge...I was given the opportunity by Stampin' UP! to join a group called the Recruit Crew. I will be given challenges and guidance on how to grow my Stampin' UP! business. I felt like it was a good time to take this challenge because I've been considering going back to work and thought why not put a little more time into my Stampin' UP! business (which I love)!

Our first challenge was to create something that was a visual representative of Why we are doing the challenge.

Here is MY WHY:
