I know exactly what you are talking about Sharon. Even my granddaughters talk in the SU color language, lol.
I love this little gift idea and I love your saying about "when things get rough".
Can you share just "where" you found these little gems? It most likely was not a chain type store, but it sure doesn't hurt to ask, does it?

A Little Something When Things Get Rough
You know you are obsessed when things are not just yellow but Daffodil Delight or Tangerine Tango instaed of orange. You know you are very obsessed when you buy things because they are Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango or any of the other Stampin' Up colors. Have you ever done that? Well, I...

Goodbye to Simply Soft, Mocha Morning Specialty DSP and Poppy Parade
Today is the last day to order and receive the Simply Soft hostess set. This was probably one of my favorite sets . Poppy Parade is an In Color and also retiring. I grew to really like this color and throw in a little Mocha Morning Specialty DSP and well you are hitting a lot of my favorites. ...
Ah, great minds think alike, lol, I too saved the center from that frame....also, I found that stamping the hello from corner to corner makes a perfect fit.
(I actually got the idea to save the center from you long ago, so things do stick in the mind at times, lol)

Elementary Elegance Stamp Set's 8th Stamp
Are you wondering what the heck I am talking about? Well, I think Stampin' Up! made a mistake when they made the label for the Elementary Elegance Sale-A-Bration stamp set. The label should have read set of 8 not 7. Do you see the 8th stamp? It is the shadow stamp, otherwise known as the ...
I do have a question.....did you apply the watercolor crayons direct, or with a blender pen, or with the aqua painters?

This month I am trying a 12 in 12 list. I made a list of 12 things I am going to do this month and one of them is to make a scrapbook page or 2. Modest goal and one I can accomplish. I kind of cheated since this page was one of the make and takes from Leadership. I finished this one at home ...

Simply Soft and Mocha Morning Specialty Paper
The set Simply Soft is currently one of my favorite stamp sets. It is a Hostess set which means it can only be "purchased" with hostess dollars. It is such a pretty image that takes just a minute to color. Today I paired it with the black flocked paper from the Mocha Morning DSP, Cherry Cobbl...

I found or I should say uncovered a stack of felt in my craft room. By the colors I knew I must have had a Halloween or Fall project in mind. Can I remember what the project was I had in mind to make? Well no, but it did remind me of another project I have been thinking about doing. No, ...

So, what do you think about the Beveled Windowpanes? At Leadership we attached one to a big vintage flower pin. I took mine apart because I knew I would not use it. Laurie G asked at the meeting what people were making with the windowpanes. My thought was to make them into a bracelet kind of...
