The Carmen's web site is up and running and we're visiting Ellen again on Thursday!

We've published our web site with a "taste" of what's to come in the next few months.  Please visit http://www.carmensverandarubberstamps.com/ and send your feedback to elainemadrid@att.net.  We'll be featuring seasonal and new stamp images, convention and class news, fun info, photos, resources and more on the web site.  I used a GoDaddy template and really like the graphics.  Hope you do, too!

Big News!  We're going back to the Ellen show taping tomorrow.  Karen and I were invited to return to Ellen for one of the "12 days of Christmas giveaway" shows and tomorrow is the day.  Usually the show airs the day after the taping and we're not getting our hopes up again -- Brad Pitt eluded us last time -- but Sting is the guest on the Friday show so he may be a guest during our taping Thursday.  Regardless, it's a fun experience; we're eating lunch at Porto's, snooping around the thrift and antique stores in the vicinity of Warner Brothers, and making a day of it.  I'll be sure to let you know when to expect to see (although last time you could not see us in the audience) our episode. 

Lots of ideas for fun holiday cards and decorations coming soon.  Working on the twelve days of Christmas "Carmen style" in honor of Ellen's giveaway shows, as well as some unorthodox Santa images...

Happy Holidays!
