Good News, Bad News
July 19th, 2007
The good news is…I FOUND HEARTSPEAK!!! I looked again this morning before leaving for work – nothing. It bugged me all day! I knew it was in my stamp room…I knew it! Tonight I started again by looking in drawers, knowing full well it wasn’t in any of them. Then I went back to my little step stool that sits by my chair at my stamp table. I had looked around it several times already, but I looked again anyway – and there it was. It had falled off that little stool (I keep sets stacked up there as I work) and had landed on it’s side behind the stool so I couldn’t see it. WooHoo!!! For awhile today I actually contempleted never getting to stamp with it, knowing I couldn’t justify buying again just because it was lost in my stamp room!
Thanks to everyone for the support in my frustration. Sounds like lots of you have had similar experiences!
Now the bad news….I started a card with Heartspeak tonight, hoping to be able to share it tonight. Alas I had to leave it 3/4 finished on my stamp table. The biggest problem with sharing my stamp room with my 2 macaws’ huge cages is that they need to go to bed between 9:30 and 10:00 and my hubby needs to go to bed between 9:00 and 9:30 so tolerating their wanna-go-to-bed screaming for a little while I finish something is just not an option. The birds don’t scream very often and have learned to enjoy being in their cages while I stamp some during the day, but once it’s past bedtime they are done! So after the excitiement of finding the missing set, I now have the frustration of knowing a card is sitting there waiting to be finished. Oh well – hopefully I can make some time tomorrow.
Although I don’t have a card to share I do have a great link to share. Check out Katydid Creations and her fabulous seed packet templates here. Ironically her sample uses Heartspeak! Thanks Leslie for pointing me to this wonderful tutorial and thanks Kathryn for sharing so generously!

Okay, okay … I’m a patient girl … I’ll wait!
Don’t I know it when it comes to the delight of finding something that has insisted on being “elusive”! Good going, Jami!

I’m so glad you found your set, Jami! I’ve already seen the card you made with it and it looks like it was worth all the time it took to find it. Yes, don’t you love that seed packet idea? So cute!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I have a Double Yellow-head Amazon and he’s absolutely rotten when he’s sleepy. When he goes to bed, everybody goes to bed. And don’t EVEN think I can stamp when he’s around. He heads straight for the markers…..whadda mess Ü And your lost card is lovely!
