If You're Stalking the UPS Truck ...

If you're stalking the UPS truck for your new catalogs to be delivered,
you might want to do some early preparation.

First, you should fill the water fountain so the UPS driver feels it's safe 'n welcoming to approach the front door.

Next, you'll need to snap a quick pic of the adorable baby bunny tucked beneath the Lantana plant.  Awwwwwwww!

It's helpful to be eager to check the porch frequently for highly anticipated cargo.  Suggestion = after every little mundane task inside, such as:

1. empty dishwasher
2. check entry
3. rinse breakfast dishes
4. check entry
5. load rinsed dishes into dishwasher
6. check entry
7. move laundry from washer to dryer
8. check entry
9. continue developing this pattern

As your eyes survey the usual package placement zone, stay alert to all possibilities!

Suggestion:  It's time to assess your weapons stash.  

All paper crafters appreciate the value of a good straight-edged tool.  Use the now-in-hand, rusty shovel to scuff a little noise in front of the serpent.    

Watch the snake as it pulls back just a bit and shakes his tail at you!  Note:  tail is without rattles.  This behavior equates to 'sealing the deal' for one card-making stamper in Texas.

Confession of this stamper:  As clearly shown, my aim for 'right behind the head' was a little 'off'.  Even though I could see that the snake was severely injured, he was as squirmy as one might expect beneath the shovel blade.  My efforts to stomp atop the blade did not cause immediate signs of death.  Fortunately, this stamper was willing to call for assistance, but had to wait with foot atop the shovel until spotting 2 roofers returning to their truck a couple doors down the street.  I'm happy to clarify that roofers do carry at least one hammer on their trucks.  Hammer down = snake is history!

Now about that UPS delivery ...

One Small Positive Thought ...

Every now 'n then, we find someone who truly deserves a great vacation!   Even though it would be fantabulous to be able to gift a vacation to someone ... I'm sending a card.  Doing what I can!

This goes to a Special Ed teacher who has a powerful, positive impact on a child I love.  Believe it or not ... school ends in our area this week!   

"One small positive thought in the morning can change the entire outcome of your day!"  (author unknown by me)

  I love the fresh Spring feeling of the retiring Fruit Stand designer papers, combined with Peek-a-Boo Peach and Delightful Daffodil colors.  Plus, the P.Peach is a fun shade of 'orange', which happens to be this child's fave color.  Hoping for a 'score' here!  I chose one of lovely ways to say 'Thank you' from the One Big Meaning stamp set.

Lots of planning in the works here for my upcoming team gathering ... Stamping with the Stars!  Testing ideas, tossing out some, putting the Star of approval on others.   Hope you're doing what you can to enjoy creative sharing in your days ahead!  

Thank you so much for your Stampin' Up! business!  I adore that you enable me to continue doing what I love!
