I have been super busy lately and don't see a break until at least Friday! I played Mahjong last Friday, Saturday Sonny & I took a drive over to Concord Mills; Sunday we met Marianne for a delicious lunch buffet and then went cruising on the lake. Monday, I played bridge. This morning I was up really early (for me!!) and was in charge at the Soup Kitchen. We served 125 people chicken salad, tuna salad and fruit salad - a great meal for a hot day! When I got home, I made more chicken salad (I was on a roll!) to take to our Newcomers Bingo for Charity tonight. My family - mom, 2 sisters and hubby - joined me for a great meal and fun Bingo games. We weren't lucky at the Bingo games .... until the last one (played 12 games) when my sister, Angela won the "cover the card" grand prize. She got a $75 gift certificate to The Chop House in downtown Mooresville. After that, they raffled off the remaining bingo prizes. Our group did pretty good. My mom won first and picked out a necklace that she gave to me. I won next and picked a bottle of Chocolate Wine. (I've heard it's pretty yummy - I'll let you know.) Next Sonny won but gave his ticket to Marianne. There wasn't much left to choose from by that time so she picked a pair of earrings and gave them to me! So, I did pretty good with bringing home the loot. Tomorrow I play mahjong and then on Thursday, I have Stamp Club. Whew! I have got to find some time to work on my swaps for Convention!!
I've been so busy that I forgot to mail my Monday Mailer on Monday. I used a retiring stamp - Cheep Talk and made a cute birthday card. What do you think?
I was also trying to use up some of the retiring DSP. This paper is from the Hostess 6"x6" stack (In Colors).

This is the Monday Mailer I received last week from Laurie. It uses the Sail Away set. I'm so in love with this stamp set!! And, I love the way she did the birthday sentiment using eyelets and the Bakers Twine!
