Color Me Irresistible Brayer Technique for this week’s Tuesday Video Tutorial!

By Robyn Cardon - February 24, 2016 - 8 Comments

Happy Tuesday!

Did you think I was EVER going to post today??!!  LOL!!  I was busy all morning getting my downline team’s swaps packaged up and shipped out.  One of my most favorite activities to do!  We do this every month and the swap is optional.  It’s a fun way to get new ideas and a variety of cards to send out.

First, I want to post this fun card that I made for my son’s 14th birthday.  This is using a brayer and the Color Me Irresistible Paper that I have never used.  You are going to love it!

A Nice Cuppa Class
Almost everybody’s class packets are in the mail today!!  YAY!!  There are still about 11 class orders that I am waiting to arrive but they should be here soon.  So excited to have this class on it’s way to you!

Last night after we had our weekly Family Home Evening, our 15 year old daughter forced asked us to take her to the mall at 8:30 to get her ears pierced.  We had tried it the first time when she was 11 but they got infected so we let them close up.  She said she was finally ready for them again.  She did great and she said it was painless!  Although getting the dots in the perfect spot took a LONG time!!

Weekly Deals!
This week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! are amazing!!!  You can click on any product in the picture and it will take you directly to my website.  
I hope you all have a GREAT day!  I will see you back here tomorrow!

Marvelous Monday Giveaway & Winner

By Robyn Cardon - February 22, 2016 - 111 Comments

Good morning and happy Monday Everyone!

Did you all have a GREAT weekend?  Mine was really nice.  I took Saturday to prep my class and get ready to ship by tomorrow morning.  Yay!!  I also had some nice family time.  On Friday night we took the little boys to go see Kung Fu Panda 3 AGAIN, and I was okay with that.  One of my favorite movies of all time and it has a lot of GREAT quotes!  

This Week’s Giveaway
Regals Stampin’ Write Markers
Provo City Temple
Last night my oldest daughter, Katelyn, and I were able to walk through the Provo City Temple with other moms and their daughters for a special viewing of the Bride’s Room.  Once this temple is dedicated in March only those who are getting married there and their moms will ever get to see this special room.  It was a neat experience.
Here is a picture of this temple in the day time.  It has a magnificent story behind it if you want to learn more about it HERE.
Robyn’s Nails
Last night I was in a pink mood for my weekly mani!  I am using OPI’s new Hello Kitty gels and Madam Glam’s silver gel with some bling.  I LOVE pink with silver.  Gel mani’s usually last around 2-3 weeks but I switch mine out weekly.  (No, I am no longer a consultant with Jamberry.  It was taking too much time away from my Stampin’ Up! business and I’ve decided I’m not a wrap girl.  I’m a 100% gel nail art girl.  They do have some fun product, though.)
Last Week’s Winner

 I hope you all have a great day!  I will be busy packaging up A Nice Cuppa class all day long!  I am hoping to get this done super fast!

Hugs,
Robyn

P.S.  This is counting for my Sat, Sun, and Mon post!  lol!  I’m not sure if I will blog every day in 2016 but I will be blogging a lot more than I did in 2015!

Fabulous Friday!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend!  I have had a busy week, as usual, but am excited to have a little break this weekend.  I still have a bunch to do for my upcoming class but how can you call doing what you love….. work??!!  I LOVE getting my classes together and I even  have some little volunteers who are going to work for me who want to earn some extra spending money!  lol!!!  

Today, after school, we went and renewed our passports for an upcoming graduation trip for my oldest daughter, Katelyn.  (Woo hoo!  Thank you Stampin’ Up! for providing a way that I can do extra things like this for my family by doing what I love every day!  I am so grateful that I signed back up last June!)  What started out as a week long trip to New York with just my daughter and I, turned into a 5 day Disney Cruise with all the kids!  LOL!!  That’s what happens when your best friends asks me how much we liked our last Disney Cruise 5 years ago!!  This will be the last big trip we all take together for quite a long time.  My oldest daughter will be going off to college soon and we all know that things change when your babies grow up.  

When we got home I had a HUGE surprise waiting for me on my front porch!  My UPS driver came early today!  My 9 and 11 year old sons brought all of these packages up to My Pink Loft, too!  So thankful for that!!  Looks like I should be able to get A Nice Cuppa Online Class in the mail by Tuesday!  Woo hoo!!

Today was GORGEOUS!!  The sun was out and it was in the 50’s.  I even let my chickens roam around the backyard today outside of their coop!  I didn’t even mind that they got in our flower beds with our mulch.  Bryan didn’t mind either.  How would you feel after being cooped up for MONTHS??!  They were happy to stretch their feathers and roam around.  
Well, not much else to share with you today!  I hope to see you all tomorrow for a Scrapbook Saturday video tutorial!!
Hugs,
Robyn

My Nails
Check out my cute nails!  I painted these with CND Shellac and OPI Gelcolor.  I actually made the flowers myself using a dotting tool.  I’m getting much better at nail art.  Best part is that I can customize them to my mood. 

I will see you all back here tomorrow for a Thoughtful Thursday post!  Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Robyn
