Weekend Fun & SOG Galore

This weekend is such a fabulous weekend. I spent the whole Saturday hanging out with Brenda, Lisa, Trinh, & Martha. We all brought our stamps & supplies and it was like a stamp store galore. We get to borrow each other stamps, learned tip from each other, joking around, all in all it just a pure fun get together. 

Brenda made superb made from scratch pizza that's super yummy and introduced me to South Africa chilly curry jam that I smeared on top of my pizza. It sounds weird, but it's the best pizza ever. We also took a trip to Archivers (will posted pics later once I get them from the girls).

I stayed at Brenda's till 10.30pm and the others stayed over night. Hubby actually suggested I should stay over night, too, but I know with the puppy it can be a handful and Eli is mama's boy big time, so I decided to just stay all day but go home at night. Besides, I only live like 30 minutes away from Brenda & Lisa. :)

This get together is just what I needed. I've been in mojo slump for a bit and after last night, my brain starts feeling the creativity flowing again. Thank you ladies for the fabulous day and I cannot wait for our next get together.

Now, I was so busy with the girl on Saturday, that I kind of miss Some Odd Girl Facebook Fun Event. I tried to pop in here and there to check in and I did make a quick tutorial for SOG blog on how I make this cheerful card. You can see my post HERE.

Stamp: Some Odd Girl Gwen In Bloom set

And, this week Some Odd Girl is releasing some fabulous clear stamp set, starting today with Under The Sea Mae set.



                                               
I made 2 cards to showcase the two beautiful mermaids on this set. I love this set a lot. I think the way Kristy drew Mae on this set is simply gorgeous & sweet.



Please check out Some Odd Girl blog to see what the DT gals created using this uber cute set. Hope you enjoy your visit here today and thank you for stopping by here. Have a fabulous week everyone!!
