Let's Get Ready To BINGO

Here's how the Bingo Game Will Work.



On July 1st, 
We'll Start Bingo. 

I'll POST ONE BINGO NUMBER EACH DAY. 

If you have that number on your card, highlight it with a highlighter. 

PLEASE DO NOT USE A MARKER AS I NEED TO BE ABLE TO READ THE NUMBER TO MAKE SURE THEY 
MATCH THE NUMBER I CALLED.

SOUNDS EASY AS PIE, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK. 
SEE YOU TOMORROW. 

THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE ALL THE SQUARES ON THEIR CARD HIGHLIGHTED WILL WIN A $10.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO PURCHASE MERCHANDISE FROM THE STAMPIN' UP! CATALOG. 
(the $10.00 cannot be used to pay for the class fee) 

I'll also have other news from Stampin' Up! and some projects I'll be creating. 

Have a good day and blessings
Lynda Emerson and Wiley the Wonder Dog M.D.

Blossoms in Bloom and Flowers In My Garden ----A Beautiful Day

My First Flower is a Climbing Rose I just planted about a month ago. I am so please with its beauty. 

This second picture is al my roses except my climbing rose. I'm worried about my Long Stem Red Rose. I had to transplant it because of an elm tree growing around the base. Now I'm praying it will be okay. 




This rose busy is now my biggest, it has rose buds everywhere. Can't wait to see them all blooming. 

This next picture I a beautiful rose with a white center. It makes me smile every time I bend down to smell her sweet fragrance.



Beauty, Beauty, Beauty

My Long Stem Red Rose....If this is her last bloom, I might be okay, because this is a beautiful rose. 

This rose is brand new too. She came to me with no leaves and she's catching up to her neighbors. I can't wait to see her blooms. 



This flower was given to me by Joanie Crandall when my mom passed away in 2009. I now get to always remember my mom and a very dear lady. 

This picture is one of my new Rose Bushes I love the color. Can't wait for it to grow up. 




This next picture I call my Pentecost Flowers. Red and Yellow flowers. There are 3 of them hanging on the fence. 


My walk from the back door to the fence. This walk makes me happy even though it's a little short.


And once it started getting hot, I came inside and made more flowers.

Introducing the New Seal & Seal + Adhesive

INTRODUCING SEAL AND SEAL+ ADHESIVE
In case you haven’t heard the news, an old Stampin’ Up! standby has retired: SNAIL Adhesive. But don’t be sad—because they are replacing it with a product that is even better and stronger: SEAL and SEAL+ Adhesive. Stampin’ SEAL is an every-day adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, like SNAIL, yet stronger than SNAIL. Stampin’ SEAL+ is a super-strength adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, similar to Fast Fuse. It’s perfect for heavier layers or small 3D items and is perforated for easy separation after laydown. One more thing you’re going to love: Both SEAL and SEAL+ Adhesives include 16.4 yds. (15 m) adhesive vs. SNAIL Adhesive’s 13.1 yds. (12 m). This new adhesive solution is a winner. Watch the great video to learn more. Then don’t wait: Order SEAL and SEAL+ today!
