Caring for families staying at our Las Vegas Ronald McDonald House by Sherrill Graff


Today was the Ronald McDonald House Fundraiser


They had a coloring table for the children


Holly and I had handcrafted cards to sell, all proceeds went to the house


Holly with Ronald McDonald



Isn't this a cute family
How wonderful that so many people 
joined in on the fun!


Ronald was there as well
He helped everyone get warmed up at 6:30 am


This is our House contact Stacie Lang with her daughter


The clowns below were making baloon animals for everyone
The kids really enjoyed this part of the event.



Look at these Super Hero's
Thanks for helping the kids


Below are the 4 house guests that all have little babies in the hospital at the moment
It was a pleasure to meet them and hear their stories.

Angie Hayes,  Danielle and Ryan Costello, Melissa Mayoral

May God bless them
and may their little ones all grow and develop 
so they can take their babies home very soon


The did say how nice it is that they have handmade cards 
(that our Stampin Up demonstrators donate) 
in their nightstands to use anytime they wish.

They also mentioned how nice it was to see the scrapbooks our Late Night Stampers made 
to hold the photos of the families/children who have stayed in 
the Las Vegas house over the last few years.


A house that love built


Ronald McDonald with 
Eva Martin is the past Board President and  
Alyson McCarthy is the RMHC of Greater Las Vegas Executive Director
a special thanks to Missy Check
The house Special Events Manager. You did a GREAT Job!

young women girls camp paper bag book photo journal

I want to thank God for such amazing Late Night Stamper demonstrator friends who came to my aid when needing how to know how to make a paper bag book.



I had never made one before today.


As you may be able to tell, this one is for the
  LDS Young Women Girls Camp
(LDS short for the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) 


Their theme is Act Well thy Part


I left plenty of space for Journaling
and photos 


there is also a clear baggie that zips shut so they can keep little things they find along the way.

Inspiration comes from above - so thankful for talents that bring me joy

This morning I listened to inspirational music. Music that makes me feel happy and alive.
Music that reminds me how grateful I am to be a child of God with so many blessings
a wonderful family, friends who love me, and a hobby I enjoy.


Each week on our Late Night Stamper group
we share what we are working on 


I had time to stamp and paint today
but I'll leave making these into cards and scrabook pages until next week.

This watercolor technique with stampin up re inkers  a friend and I came up with back in 2009

more colors here 


above you can see the detail
below you can see the color variations


another one of my favorite stations to listen to is SOS radio

This technique is done on our whister white cardstock
If you are a customer of mine, please visit my website and order some of your own creative products
