there is a little TOXIC LOVE in it for you!

Unity Stamp Company "So & So Loves...."

It is a must have!

Do you have a favorite Quote?

"Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle."

Are you reading any books at the moment??? Dean Koontz - The Husband

A short little blurb from Jeanne:

"I'm a "retired stay at home Mom" (at least that's what hubby calls me) to 4 wonderful boys. I've been married to my hubby, Joe for almost 24 years.I discovered stamping/papercrafting about 3 years ago and fell in love. I quickly discovered Splitcoaststampers and got hooked on doing the challenges. I'm at my very best when I'm busy working the creative side of my brain."

Thanks so much, Jeanne!

You are so supportive of Unity and that goes 100% appreciated at all times from all of us!

DT Tuesday - Our Brooke.

Today is ALL ABOUT Brooke!

She is one of the most amazing women I know...

She maintains her family, her work, her talent, her friends, her individuality all wrapped up in a tiny bow - In otherwords...she amazes me.

She has a heart of gold and consistently is compassionate about people. Once a friend always a friend. She deserves every good fortune that can possibly come her way.

NOT TO MENTION....

She is SUPA TALENTED at her craft.

We have crafted together for years now...and she whips out these creations in NO TIME AT ALL. I am still placing and replacing and taking apart and starting over and she just does this....VOILA! Perfect....How Splendid is that? She is my little crafting idol. :)
You can get more details about this card on her BLOG...
I do know that both of her cards were made with REMEMBER HAPPINESS by Jessica Rose.
This is Unity's Kit of the Month for August {which is still available for 4 more days!}

Adorable, Brooke! I love it!

Nic went to ALASKA this summer...We SURE MISSED Him!

He sure was a sight to see...

We missed him, but we didn't know how much till we saw him back in our home!

Poor Kid has not had an "alone" moment since!

Arriving home August 15th....

"Joy" is having your sixteen year old in your entry way - Not only SAFE & SOUND, but 100% happy to be there!
"Joy" is eating breakfast with your brother after not seeing him for 6 weeks! That is a very long time for a 35 year old mother & Father, much less a 6 year old little brother!

"Joy" is soaking up the SUN on the lake with your BOYS!

Nothing like having your brother LAUNCH you into the lake...Nic sent this boy flying almost 50 times. When you have been away all summer, it is the least he felt he could do!

THEN...there's the "RYAN" FAMILY GOLF OUTING! 30 people all enjoying the beautiful weekend weather. 27 holes of golf. It was nothing short of a BLAST! Sawyer even won a prize for being the only family member to get smacked with a golf ball...If you ask him he will show you the indent in his little foot!

As you can see...he recovered just fine. Next time I think shoes are in order and perhaps a HELMET! That kid is an accident magnet.

No, LUKE is not drinking a beer.....

I cropped the photo and the dude with the beer was to his left! :)

Chris and Luke waiting for all the teams to finish.

Even though GOLF is not Nic's favorite past time, he joined the fun! He is trying to fit an entire summer in 2 short weeks, and LOVING it!

It's GREAT to have him HOME!

So you have our weekend in a nutshell! It is laughs and {good times!}, memories to cherish for years to come!

All of these events and I EVEN MANAGED to finish a NOVEL!

Late nights are the best time to read!

All of you who left comments were EXACTLY RIGHT!

I could not get my nose out of the novel

"TWILIGHT"

The motion picture comes out December 12,2008 - Hooray!

We will be back to Stamping, Scrapping and DT Tuesday tomorrow!

Enjoy your Monday!

Early Christmas Idea from Guest DT Erin! We {heart} Erin!

Happy Friday!

For those of you at SPLITCOAST...I hope you have recovered from HIP HOP THURSDAY!

Beautiful Erin is our Guest Designer for August.

I love the way she does things...It is smart.

She comes up with a FABULOUS idea and then REPEATS it - and makes SEVERAL!

Love that!

Here is some CHRISTMAS Inspiration for you...Nothing like being prepared!

Adorable Erin!

Thank you so much for the inspiration!

That is what I have for you today!

Simple and Sweet.

Enjoy your weekend!

"If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give."

The long standing joke at Unity...

Angela says, "Hmmm....what should I run for a special?"

proceeds to the back room to take a peek around....

Everyone there ALWAYS ENCOURAGES her to give away a FREE CLOCK!

The words "How about a FREE CLOCK" has been said 99 million times at Unity!

WHY?! You ask...

Because I have this CLOCK on TWO production plates and I have DOUBLE the inventory of them AT ALL TIMES!

SO...August 21, 2008 HIP HOP starts with a NEARLY free clock with every order!

{only because my website won't DO FREE, that is the way it is programmed}

SO IT IS OFFICIALLY PRICE AT

ONE PENNY

$.01

We will be giving away tons of stamps again, just as many, if not more...as last time.

NO OFFICIAL word of which ones, it will be very random!
I am sure "MAG THE MAN" will pop in at some point and give away the farm again!

Last week I promised some VISUAL on the HIP HOP antics....

WELL....

This past weekend I was innocently standing on the dock...my father, sitting in his boat had a particular twinkle in his eye. I did not recognize the "twinkle" as my husband did - and I could not understand why he was running down the dock, away from me, in the opposite direction from the boat. I heard the boat motor lift and as I turned around my dad revved his engine....I was SOAKED with camera in hand. It was pretty comical as I stood there resembling a wet dog, although my poor little camera did not survive.

SO...

When I get a moment today, I will run to my parents home and BORROW their camera to film some more INTERNAL VIDEO of HIP HOP here at Unity!

Come back this evening for more entertainment!

TILL THEN...

Start YOUR BLOG HOP on my Scrapbooker EXTRAORDINAIRE DT MEMBER

HOORAY! Enjoy your day...

BTW Has anyone ready THESE BOOKS?
In all my spare time, {ha, ha} I have been encouraged to start the first of the SAGA....
Let me know your thoughts.

DT Tuesday - Featuring my girl Robyn!

One of my ORIGINALS!

These amazing projects are done by my girl....

Robyn Weatherspoon

She has supported Unity from the VERY beginning...and quite simply...

WE LOVE HER!

Not only because she has detailed talent, but because she is loyal, supportive, encouraging & consistent in all that she does. Her lucky little students. She is a teacher by daytime - scrapbooker/stamper in spare time. I have not one doubt in the world that there are PARENTS REQUESTING her each and every year.

I get to see Robyn TWICE a year at the WINTER CHA & Summer CHA. The moment I met her for the first time it was as if I had known her my entire life. I am consistently amazed how just the right people, events, and circumstances arise as you need them - and I am so THANKFUL that Robyn was no exception to that!

Made with a Unity Single: "Becoming Butterfly"

Love that PINK & Orange!

Gift Bag & Card made with "Tiny Trinity"
Look how that paper matches!
Made with Unity "Floral Fantastical" & "Live the Life"

We asked Robyn to share a few thoughts:

I really believe in Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!
My daily journey is all in pursuit of being kind, compassionate, giving, loving, forgiving, prayerful, hopeful, joyful, honest, creative, and respectful of others.
My life experiences have taught me that without these goals, I am nothing.

Much love and Be Blessed!
{I love your energy, Robyn! Thanks so much for sharing!}

Robyn has an amazing team of ladies that made projects using Unity Product.
I hope you will take a peek at their creations THIS WEEK!

Go HERE for some INCREDIBLE EYE CANDY!
I am stunned at the talent of these ladies! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making Unity so FABULOUS!

Watch out Wednesday!
Come back to see the talented ones our Unity Design Team has found!
