Thank you, Judith. It is good to have the appeal done. There is quite a backlog of appeals apparently so we will be waiting awhile for our answer. It could be weeks or months before we hear anything, but ART has acknowledged they received.pur submission at least.
Yes, it is exciting and nerve wracking to have the Demonstrator Development Manager, Emma, coming for lunch and a card class! I made her a card last night to thank her for coming. I'll get everyone to sign it. Outside is says "There is beauty in your history." Inside it thanks her for becoming part of our history:
I know you are familiar with SU colours and jargon, Judith, so for you the details are: The card base is made of Balmy Blue cardstock, dry embossed, then heat embossed in gold and inked with Petal Pink. I die cut the images from Kintsugi Inspirations dsp and blended Basic Beige over the chrysanthemum as it seemed too stark white. The sentiment is stamped on Basic Beige in Cloud Cover ink. The embellishments are Pressed Flower Motifs. The bow is twined around the stamped frame and is made of Linen thread. I enjoyed making this card after everyone else (including Sharon and Barry) went to bed!
I must go move furniture and set up.our dining room table as a craft table for 6 of us. I hope everyone likes the cards I have prepared for them to make today.
TThinking of you all.

Susan. Prospers that the ART appeal goes your way or some help for Colin. Also,prayong that yiur stampin goes well. I’m sure with the regional managers from New Zealand and Queensland can be nervous. You got this with God’s help. Maybe a qpsquahy ball to help with stress you got this I’m sure.
Linda I can’t wait to see the piano runner cover sounds neat. Sorry about you running out of bags to bad we don’t live closer so I can give you some. I sometimes don’t use any at walmart as I have a green bag with me.
JC prayers for you. Hioe the pain can be less for you.Judith praying for you, especially with yiur health and pain. We are going through the book of Mark. It is interesting too.
So Harry 3 talked to KC Ability, the put patient place they like him to go, to, I’ve heard it’s good too, 3 called the, and KC ability told him that he would be there no later then 8/18. So we are praying it will be sooner. HH and him walk around the house with him using a w@lamer so that’s good. Guess that is his PT.
We went over today and Harry, dad helped him use Rest room WC, and shorts on. So glad he gets some PT. HH is not sleeping much and slept on the couch keep,praying she needs to rest in the lord easier said then done. I will be making some rice and meatballs for supper tomorrow. Mariposa wanted meatballs, for her bay so, that’s why I’m making some.
Prayers for all.
Pt with HH and 3.

Thank you for the prayers. Plus your churches too.1 -
The runner is done and I will download the picture tomorrow. I need to take it out of my phone, send it to myself in an e-mail then download it here. Maybe there is an easier way to do it but that is what I do now. I really needed it because it covers the damage that was done when we transported the piano to Grand Junction. It was in the back of the truck and a huge gust of wind opened the top and it was ripped off and landed on the road then skidded to the side of the road in the snow. As long as I have a cover, it does not look too bad but without it, there is a lot of conversation about what happened to it. I had covered it with just a piece of material but this cover is much nicer.
Susan - you said your great grandmother made quilts of your clothes. My aunt was a seamstress and she had lots of extra material so she frequently made quilts for people. Although I did not recognize some of the material, there would be a few pieces of clothing she had made for me. She also made some for our children. Having 5 unexpected visitors for lunch and with the busy schedule you had, I am amazed that you said it so calmly. I need to have some advance warning if people are eating at my house! I hope your visitors had a safe trip to your house and you have a wonderful visit. I am sure the Regional Manager for NZ and Queensland will be very impressed with your card creations as we always are.
Barb - I read in Caring Bridge how little sleep HH is getting. Being on "alert status" is going to wear her out until she can not keep going. I do remember bringing home each new baby and feeling that alert status feeling. I was checking to see if the baby was breathing multiple times during the night. Of course, back then, I had the baby sleeping with me in my bed so I did not have to get up. Now, it is really considered a safety issue and babies are not supposed to be in bed with the parents. Was she also nervous when Anabella came home? I remember there were hard days when the Annabella had reflux and could not sleep well. I hope things settle down quickly. Having you bring dinner tomorrow should help her some.
Judith - We are finishing a study at church on Matthew and it has been very interesting. On Tuesday evening when we have our small group study, Glenn taught on the same chapter that we had on Sunday and added highlights that were very interesting. He was looking at the Emotional Intelligence of Jesus and the people he interacted with. Jesus loved unconditionally, did not hold grudges against his accusers and keep his eyes on the Father. All of these things I need to cultivate in my life.

Susan, Love the Card so much. Emma will love it. And it’s so special with everyone in the class signing it. And I have the Balmy Blue Cardstock, I have just started using the Heat Tool and the Powders, need lots of practice. I love embossing and using the Dies and have many embossing folders & the Dies in various designs. I don’t have the Dies or the Stamps for the Kintsugi Inspirations but I would love a set. I found the Kintsugi Inspirations on Page 58 in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalouge! I think I will buy the Suite Collection! Do you use the Uninked Ink Spots? I just bought a set beginning of the year. My Favorite ink pad colors are Pink Passion, Lovely Lipstick, Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lilac, Tuxedo Black, Call me Clover! I will be thinking of you as your group gathers for the Card Class. Can hardly wait to hear all about what Emma thought about the group and the cards the group made. You have me inspired especially trying out the Kintsugi Inspirations Collection. I sit here with my Catalouge open to page 58. 😊
Barb, thank you for sharing the picture of Harry3 and Hong Hong. It’s good she is helping Harry3 with walking and getting some exercise. The new group for Physio you are telling us about sounds like it will be great for him. August 18th is not too far away but it would be nice if it’s earlier for Harry 3. I am happy Harry3’s Work have given him 6 months and he can work from home. This is good to hear. My Prayers continue for Harry3 and Hong Hong. You said you are going through the Book of Mark, is this at your Ladies Bible Study or is your Pastor taking you through Marks Gospel in his Sermon series?
Linda, Great to hear the Runner is done. That’s great! I look forward to seeing the picture tomorrow. So sorry to hear the top of the piano got damaged in the wind srorm while transporting the piano to Grand Junction! So glad the piano was not damaged just the cover. I am sure the runner you have made is lovely! Thanks for letting me know you are finishing a Study at Church on Matthew. I am sure it has been interesting! I like that Glenn touched on the Emotional Intelligenge of Jesus and the people He interacted with. I hear you about how Jesus loved unconditionally and did not hold grudges against those of his accussers but always kept His eyes on His Father. And yes we need to apply those same principles to our own lives.
It’s late gals. Will say Good Night God Bless! 🙏🤗
