Redoubt erupts again

Mount Redoubt has erupted multiple times this morning, most recently at 9:24 a.m. with a plume rising to 65,000 feet. An ashfall advisory, issued by the National Weather Service, is in effect for the western Kenai Peninsula, including Kenai, Soldotna, Homer and Cooper Landing. Discrete earthquakes continue to dominate the seismic signal at Redoubt. The hut webcam shows vigorous steaming from the summit crater. There have been no other large explosions since this morning's large eruption at 9:24AM. Minor ashfall, trace amounts to 1/8 inch of ash, from Ninilchik southward to the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, including Homer and communities along Kachemak Bay. Trace amounts of ash are also possible for areas north of Ninilchik. We did get a trace amount of ash tonite when I went and started my truck to come home from work, it was a light dusting on the truck. Will keep you updated on what's going on. I'm on my Laptop, puter is not working may have to replace my hard-drive? Taking it in tomorrow.

Art Share/ Blog Candy

I found this idea on Shelley's blog (she's a SBS Sistah 27) while blog hopping. I think it is a fantastic way to share our art! The first 5 people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice! For you. Could be a card I really am pleased with, an altered object or something else all together! My choice! This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! 2. What I create will be made with you in mind so you won't get something I already made unless I think it suits you to a T. 3. It'll be done sometime this year (I will want to get it done in the next month or so). 4. You have no clue what it's going to be. 5. The catch? Oh, the catch is you must offer this blog candy on your blog! Re-post this on your blog, offer something you make - your choice - to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog (then come here and post). Add my name to the #1 slot on your card- I am your first participant. When you create your give away, you will become the first participant on the new list for the people who participate with you. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment here telling me they did (I will go to your blog to check that you have this posted) win a handmade gift by me. Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! SO ...................who will be the first 5 people???? 1.http://stampin-shellz.blogspot.com/ 2. http://frankiesfancystampinup.blogspot.com/ 3. http://msrhetta.blogspot.com/ 4. 5.

4th Picture Tagging

This is what your was supposed to do: Go to the place on your computer where you store all your pictures and open the 4th folder. Open the 4th picture. Post the picture and give an explanation of what it is. Tag 4 people. DO NOT CHEAT!! You cannot edit or crop the picture!! So this is the photo in my 4th folder and 4 photo, I was on the internet looking for vintage photos at one point for a Deco and kind of liked this one.......thinking it was unique. And I'm tagging some of my SBS Sistahs.........Happy Tagging!

Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers

Just wanted to let you all know that I have taken the leap and joined the SBS #28 ..........one of the requirements is to tell you all about myself, so with further ado....... 1. Married 30 yrs come September 2009, with 2 wonderful grown sons 28 & 23.......no grandkids yet! 2. My DH is a Truck Driver and he decided one day after gaining a retirement from the company he worked in Washington State, he wanted to move to Alaska (life long dream on his part) LOL I worked in Retail for 9 1/2 yrs, so I made some phone calls and was hired over the phone for a job on the Kenai Peninsula, working another 2 1/2 yrs in retail. 3. I now reside and make my home in the "Last Frontier" State.......Alaska, we moved here 15 yrs ago and have never left and don't regret moving to the Kenai Peninsula. 4. In mid stride I changed careers in 1998 and went to school.........I found out the Medical world was not for me. In 2002 I learned how to drive a 33 ft School Bus and during the Summer I learned to drive a 40ft & 45ft Motor Coach (Tour Bus) thus starting my driving Career! I was the first female driver for a Korean Group out of Calif.........Wahoooo for me! LOL This way I was actually able to see other parts of Alaska and getting paid for it too! 5. I've been stamping since my boys were very young........tho I really got into stamping when I went to several Stampin' Up workshops here in Alaska and the Demonstrator decided to quit, so I was signed up under her wanting to keep myself and the other ladies supplied with products (our only stamp store closed down at the time too) I decided to became a Stamp'Up Demonstrator back in 2005. 6. I was a featured design Artist for a now long retired Stamp Magazine called RubberStamper 7. Currently the only kids I have are furry ones, A tabby kitty she's 2 yrs old and a 8 month old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd, (Boy does she keep me busy) I lost my Rottie 6 yrs ago and it's taken me that long to get another dog. 8. My other interests include.......Reading, (I'm never with out a book!) Knitting, Crotching, Clay sculpting, Painting, Beading, Jewerly designing and riding my Motorcycle........oh and driving bus too! 9. My favorites are: the color "Red"..... I drive a Red Truck LOL burning good soy candles that don't smoke, good Asian Food, and good Friends.........which I hope to make as a SBS sister. 10. Okay I think that about sums me up in a nut shell!
