Happy 22nd Anniversary Dave!

It was my anniversary today.   We celebrated Thursday night by going out to dinner while the boys were out of town.  Dave was at a soccer tournament with Ray, and I was at a shoebox swap in Vacaville with the Wacky Stampers group.  The cards were beautiful.  I can't wait to photograph and share them with you.

Basque Cultural Center in South City, SF

Last Friday we spent the day with my dh's sister, brother-in-law and nephew.  We watched the America's Cup race between the Italians and the Swedes (?).  Then we found the house in San Bruno where Dave and his sister lived when they were young.  We went to a beach and then to a delicious dinner at the Basque Cultural Center (Dave and his sister are a quarter Basque).

The night before we surprised Dave's mom at dinner in SF for her 75th b-day.  Unfortunately I forgot my camera!

Next week I'll start posting the Inkerbelles Swaps.

These are the four cards we'll make in my 2013 Convention Swaps Case Cards Class.  All but one are slightly modified from the original swap.

We'll explore the Magical Masking technique, have lots of fun with punches, and put on a little glitz with dazzling diamonds.

I have all these sets!  These are the last of the floor swaps I received.  I still have swaps that I didn't get, but I photographed (my roomies got them).  I also have my Inkerbelle swaps to share with you.  I'll start sharing those Friday.  Tomorrow I'll share a sneak peak of the cards we'll make next week.

Happy Stamping!  Mary
