Fun Thanksgiving in the Desert

Only one more day in the desert, and I’ll be homeward bound. Here we are on Thanksgiving day, before devouring a 22 pound turkey.

 

Golf and tennis were part of the daily routine with Neil, Samantha, and John.

 

A special treat was being able to visit my friend, and Stampin’ Up! team member, Roxanne. She has a fabulous home, craft room, and makes beautiful, one-of-a-kind cards. 

 

An afternoon trip to Joshua Tree. We laughed hysterically, because we stopped to take a selfie with the fabulous rocks, and all you can see are our faces. Neil said we looked like Mount Rushmore. LOL

My view for writing a couple blog posts, and doing a bit of “work.” I’m already looking forward to returning in March.

November 24th One Day Sale!

Yes, I’m having a fun Thanksgiving week, but not too busy to let you know about Stampin’ Up’s “Black Friday” sale.

First, I’ll share a few pics from the Indian Wells Country Club. It was a beautiful day, and I love those desert mountains. This is Neil, who is a good golfer.

 

And, this is Su, who just enjoys trying, sometimes.

 

My favorite hole is the 19th, although, I often wish it was the 10th.

 

Outdoor dining was a bit different at the Cliff House, one of our favorite restaurants, but this view is always fabulous.
Now for details about the sale:
BIG NEWS!!!
We all know what happens the day after Thanksgiving, but Stampin’ Up! isn’t waiting for Black Friday to have a sale. It’s happening on Tuesday, November 24th, and is a one day sale.

Counter Height Desk/Table *Card Maker’s Dream*

I am so excited about my new counter height desk/table. I spent time researching possibilities, and am very pleased with this selection from officefurniture.com, which included free shipping.

Counter Height Desk

 

The main drawback was that it had to be assembled, and the reason I put off purchasing for a while. My sweet husband said that he would put it together for me, so I pushed the submit order button. When it arrived, it was in a very, heavy box (yes, it’s sturdy), and in a million pieces. I know I’m exaggerating, but my husband said it would make a nice Christmas gift. 

 

With Simba, as his helper, he put it together in two days, and I’m thrilled I didn’t have to wait until Christmas. I must say, he’s good at reading directions.

It’s set up as my cutting and embossing  station, with my Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine on the left and my Paper Trimmer on the right. Rather than standing and bending at the waist over a standard height desk, I can now stand comfortably, which is much easier on the back.

 

This is the manufacturer’s photo which shows the nice detailing on the side. 

I’m a very happy stamper, yes indeed! This beauty is a card maker’s dream!

Monday and Tuesday in New York

Monday, opening day at the US Open, couldn’t have gone better.  

Bradley Klahn won his match.

 

And, so did 37 year old, Feliciano Lopez, my favorite since he was a teen.

We were there when the gates opened at 9:30 AM, and didn’t leave until  10:00PM.

The next day, we took a tennis time out to visit the 9/11 Museum, an unforgettable and emotional experience.

 

After sustenance, we walked the High Line. Trains once traveled the rails, but it’s now a walkway with gardens.

 

 

 

The High Line took us to a very interesting structure named The Vessel. We figured we’d had enough walking, so passed on additional climbing.

 

A wonderful meal at our hotel, prepping for the next full day of tennis.

 

I’ll see you tomorrow with my Seize the Birthday Guest Designer card. The “toppings” is fun; it’s “square cards.”

In case you’re wondering, my store is open. Go shopping, so you can get creative with me!

 

 

New York, New York

Here I am, in New York City. The Renaissance Hotel is great! We were excited to get a room with a view. Seriously, all of those buildings with windows are fascinating.

 

The flight here was trouble-free on Delta. We had TSA pre-check, a good complimentary meal, and movies. I really enjoyed Poms, and recommend it.

 

By the time we checked in, it was time for an early dinner before seeing a play. We walked, of course, as everyone does in New York. No problem getting my 10,000 steps a day here! We found this picturesque place across the street from the theatre, Heartland Chop House Brewery.

 

Then, it was 8:00 show time for Beautiful.

Love those Carole King tunes.

 

We awakened to a beautiful, sunny day, in the 70s. The weather couldn’t be better in New York. The main reason we are here is to attend the US Open Tennis Tournament. 

Neil is very good with directions, and navigating the subway system, so here I am, eating a breakfast bar on the subway, headed to the US Open in Flushing Meadows. It looks like I’m alone, but it soon filled with people. Ha Ha

 

We caught up with the Klahns, and watched Bradley Klahn practice with Medvedev. His first round match will be tomorrow, and we’ll be there.

 

We walked through Bryant Park on the way back to our hotel, and had to take a selfie. Do you see the Empire State Building between us? Neil and I met on an airplane while flying to New York in 1982, and we went to the top of that building on our first date. Yes, Sleepless in Seattle is one of my favorite movies.

 

I’ll post another  card on Tues. I’m not crafting while on vacation, but I prepared ahead of time. I do have my Holiday Catalog with me, though, planning my September order.

Thanks for visiting my blog, even without a card!

The great thing about my on-line store is that it is open, and fully functional, while I’m on vacation! Clicking my “shop button will take you there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Video Introduction-Su Mohr

Hello friends and followers. I’ve had a number of requests to do videos, so I’m giving it a try. Here I am:

 

 

I’ll be posting a card demonstration on March 17th. It’s a first, so lots of room for improvement! My iPhone had a mind of it’s own during my recording! But, I really like my design, and I think I have some tips you’ll enjoy.

Have a great day, and see you soon!
