But I do have tons to share with you all so I hope to blog every day this week to get it all up... and then Unity has some super fun stuff coming next week so I will be blogging each day next week too if everything goes according to plan. So stick around, some fun stuff coming AND I have a bit of fun for YOU at the end of this post since you all have been so sweet and supportive as I have gone through this transition period!!
I have so many vacation photos to share, but I will just share one today and probably do a vacation post on Wednesday. This is a photo that Jacob took of Ben & I. We are standing below the ruins of a castle that was built at the turn of the century, but burned in the 40's. I have some very cool photos of it... it made me very reminiscent of England and our explorations there, but I will definitely have more to share of that on Wednesday's post!
At the very last moment of packing, I decided to pack up a mini-stamping kit. I almost always take my stamping supplies with me when I travel, but I usually don't find the time to play with them. Well on this trip, we had rain 4 out of our 5 days there which meant that we spent a fair amount of time inside which translated into stamping time for me. I am so glad that I brought some of my supplies!
This is one of the cards that I made using the Unity Stamp Co. April kom, Fresh Beginnings. I just LOVE this little bird image! Do you see the text that goes around the bird... that is a separate stamp so you could circle that around most any small-medium sized stamp. I love that and there are 2 of these in this kit!
Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Fresh Beginnings (April kom)
*Memories Brown inkpad
*Free papers that came with The Scrapbook Magazine issue 36
*copper brads
*Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder
Now, as a thank you for all of your support and patience while I have learned how to use my Mac, I am going to give away this Unity stamp kit, Love Birdies. Leave a comment on this post here and I will announce the winner Saturday morning so share that I am doing a stamp giveaway with your friends so that they can have a chance too!

Christi,
I don't know if I could pick up the whole new computer system thing at 41! Love my PC have to say and although I hear MAC is the way to go I'm too old to start over. Great pic of you!
Have a fabulous week.
Blessings,
Sandy
Christi, I'm so glad you are getting the hang of your new computer! I think the adjustment was easy for me since Dustin already used a MAC so anytime I had questions, there was a live person there ready to show me. I would send him to you but he's been gone for too long already. ;)
Beautiful card! I love what you did with the sentiment!
Okay, hold on here you young chickiepoos!!!! As a young 51+ woman I will tell you things can be learned after 50!!! ;) And I enjoy challenges more now!! Once the kids are out of the house you'll clear a space in your brain! (hehe!) And maybe clear a bedroom for your own work space! LOL And Christi, love your card...how do you decide what supplies to take with when traveling?? Have a great Monday!!
Karen, sorry...no offense meant. ;o) I definitely need some room cleared in my brain...LOL!
I still have most of my stuff packed up, so on Wednesday's post, I will share my stamping survival kit for traveling.
Thanks for the fun comments, girls!
smiles,
Christi
Hang in there. It will only get easier! To me it is like using a whole new language and portion of my brain. I love the little bird too. Jill S
I am glad you are getting the hang of your MAC, you will be the most knowledged of anyone with hours of scouring through the MAC books under your belt!!! now you can teach me when I get one! ;)
I love your card, I was thinking of pairing the circle sentiment with the bird too and you showed me that can be beautiful!! I am spreading the love of your giveaway!
