Had a great weekend moving my kids to their next adventures!
Going upnorth to my parents cottage for a fun filled weekend!
My favorite activity was alway the Memorial Day parade. It ended at the town square with music and speeches. I often recall “In Flander’s Field” being a part of the service many years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkKEynoTwp8
I love going to the parade and honoring all our veterans. The one’s who have given me the freedom to be there. My son had the honor of carrying the flag with his K-Kids service group from school. It was a proud moment and I was grateful he was carrying the flag tall and strong.
Usually it is working on the flower beds and bbq- ing in the evening
This year it is saying farewell to the grandkids and flying home with a hole in my heart!
We love to go camping on this weekend but this year we were unable to go. the upside is that I can enter for this chance to win some wonderful product from a wonderful website and demo!!
Love this color combination!
Camping & stamping! I always bring along some supplies to create my scrapbook lo’s for the camping trip and make them right there at the picnic table. If they end up getting a little grunged up, all the better. There’s noting like creating out in the middle of nature!!
My favourite thing to do on Memorial Day is get together with my adult children for food and fellowship. If they aren’t available I try to get together with one of my stamping buddies to “play” with our stamps and bling!
Our over 55 community is filled with Veterans, so this is a special time. We have a ceremony to honor all veterans and then a parade with decorated convertibles and golf carts. It then culminates with a cook out with tradional holiday food and the funds raised from the cookout go to Hope For Heroes. It is a great event that honors all Vets and their loved ones.
my brother’s birthday is the 24th and my sister’s birthday is the 27th so we always have a big family barbeque!
Family, family, family—kids, dogs, barbecue, a glass of wine, and looking through the new StampinUp catalog!
I will be enjoying so personal “catch-up” time, then some play time with friends.
My favorite Memorial Day weekend activity is to spend it with family. We will smoke some meat and enjoy our married children and their spouses. Grandchild number one is on the way. We will also spend some quiet time remembering the men who fought and died to protect our country. Before the kids arrive we will spend some time working in the yard and then hop in the not tub to soak our tired old bones! We purchased some baby clothes and we are excited to see our daughter and son-in-law’s faces when they open them. That is such a wonderful time in a young couple’s life!
My perfect holiday getaway would be a campin’ and stampin’ weekend…hey, maybe I’ll try to organize somethin’!!! Happy Memorial Day, Mary. Hope to see you soon! xoxo
I live in a military town (Colorado Springs) so the “holiday” has taken on a new meaning for me. Today was spent on a morning hike above the city where views of the Air Force Academy and Fort Carson can be seen in both directions. Thanks today and everyday to our service members.
We love to grill out, play card games and just relax together as a family.
I will be lunching with special friends to celebrate all of our May birthdays!
Your blog inspires me every day. Thanks.
Great product and pretty cards happy memorial day
Your generosity and creativity are exemplary! Hope you enjoyed the golf lesson this morning! 🙂
Memorial Day will be spent with family: eating, playing games and napping!

For the past three years I have gone to Ocean City to visit my three cousins. My husband goes to Missouri to the Bianchi Cup (pistol competition) and I go to Ocean City. The weather wasn’t so nice. I enjoyed seeing the cousins. I got back yesterday and so did the husband.
Memorial weekend I always spend with family. Just started making cards 9 month ago so now every weekend includes card making. So this memorial weekend I have set time aside making cards. I am addicted. Lol.

Spring cleaning done. Pool opened. I will now spend Memorial Day first and foremost in gratitude and prayer for the individuals who have sacrificed for my freedom. I am blessed to live my life with so many wonderful choices and opportunities. From everyday chores to special occassions,it’s these experiences that influence my stamping by presenting endless patterns, colors and ideas.

What a luxury to have so much time for stamping in one weekend!
Invited by dear friends to their vacation home in the woods in northern Michigan!

Sleep overs with grandchildren all weekend long. So love having them around.

I also spent time looking at the new SU catalog and making my wish list. Thank you for a chance to win some blog candy. AND, thank you to all the past and present servicemen and women who give so freely of themselves so that we can have freedom. It is really a shame they don’t come out of the service with more benefits than they do for fighting for our freedom. KUDOS to all of them.
There is nothing better to do on a free day than stamping. That is what I plan to do after I move my house plants outside.

When I was young, camping was always the plan for Memorial Day.
Now, I like to relax at home with my family and go to the parade to remember what the holiday is meant for. (I am the wife of a military veteran)
Thanks, Mary!
Thinking about my grandmother and grandfather who served jn the marines (on my mom’s side) and my dad and grandfather who served in the navy. I am proud of them all! They all served our country proudly! Now my son has been in the AFJROTC for the last 3 yearswith and wants to go into the air force. I thank all our soldiers who serve and protect our freedom.
I would love to be camping but not this year. Instead my husband had to unexpectedly work everyday this weekend. So spending time at home with the kids, cleaning and making cards…thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite thing is campfire with family, getting up early and enjoying the Memorial Day parade. Thanks Mary for all the card ideas.
I always look forward to eating a Popsicle poolside with my family. Nothing like taking a break from life to feel like a kid again while eating Popsicles in the summer heat.
Remembrance… honoring all those serving our country and especially those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Time permitted…crafting some cute cards which were inspired by your creations. Your creativity sparks SO much more creativity! Thank you for the inspiration!
Camping is my favorite Memorial weekend activity. But this year it has rained every day so far, and predicted to rain everyday for the next six days.
Hosting the family with the official pool opening, smoking a pork butt with corn on the cob and a side of mac and cheese! Taking time to remember those that sacrificed to give us our freedom and those still protecting us!

My favorite Memorial Day weekend activity is attending our city’s Memorial Day parade, then attending the ceremony honoring our country’s service men and women, held after it.
Earlier in the weekend, I spent time planting my garden. This weekend usually marks that we’re safe from frost in WI, so I usually wait until then to put out my garden plants.
My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day weekend is to spend time with family, plant the rest of my flowers and finalize some plans for the upcoming summer. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy. I hope you are enjoying the weekend!

I am getting in stamping and family time this weekend – two of my favorite things. 🙂
Eastern PA, is cooler than normal this time of year, So we chose not to go camping as we normally do. Stayed home did gardening, card making and cat grooming. Monday we will do the town wide yard sales. May find some Stampin’ up products I could use.
Best wishes and Thanks to all the USA Military men and women for all they do.
We do not BBQ, we actually spend Memorial Day with Veterans or active duty personnel to thank them for their service.
This year our favorite activity is to just relax. I am recouperating from one knee replacement and waiting for the next. My husband is waiting to find out when he can have his knee surgery before my 2nd one. He hurt his knee when he went down hard on the floor to give a man cpr. (The man survived after 14 minutes of cpr. Praise God) For many years we went camping with family. But this year it is just to put up our feet and relax. Have a great week end.
My favorite thing to do this Memorial Day weekend would be stamping then spending some time with family. Thank you for a chance to win some blog candy!!
Family picnic, or staying home to get the house ready for summer (planting, opening the pool, etc.).
Every year, my family gathers at my Mom and Dad’s house to walk down to the town parade, then we head back for a BBQ while decorating paper bags for the soldiers through “Operation Goody Bag” and finish the day with s’mores and other great desserts.
My now favorite thing to do on any weekend is to stamp. I used to “love” to camp but then the kids grew up so I don’t have to pretend anymore!
Hoping to get some crafting done in the morning and than physical therapy in the afternoon.
Thank you for the chance to win one of your blog candies!
Have our 2 kids and their husband/girlfriend over to have a “Big Pig Jig”, ie. ribs on the BBQ and all the fixin’s. And, we aren’t even southern – we live in Seattle, but love ribs for special occasions.
My favorite thing to do is stamp! Three day weekends are the best time to do this because I don’t feel like I am taking time away from my family (so one day is dedicated to stamping, the rest is family time). Then I like to gather at one of our houses and barbeque.
On actual Memorial Day iLOVE going to our local parade w our 3girls. I look forward to it each year!
Making some burpies for my daughter to give to her friends’ new babies. THREE new babies! Batiks and Hawaiians. Of course, the gifts will NEED cards! 🙂 Then lots of reading/resting in the shade, enjoying spring!
hanging with the family this weekend.
Stamping!! Too chilly here!! We usually cook out but ordered a pizza with cinnamon nuggets!! YUM! You have some great ideas for cardmaking!

I will be staying home with my family where I get the pleasure of “pampering” all of my children and grandchildren. We are unable to get together a lot so when we do, it always turns out to be a special day for me.
This weekend, as long as I can call catching up on sleep pampering, then that’s what I did this morning. Stamped with the granddaughter for a while yesterday, Tomorrow won’t include much except eating and preparing for the end of the school year. Thanks for giving us the chance to win some blog candy. God Bless all who gave to us.

Our favorite thing is to be outside! But this year all it’s done is rain so I’m inside sewing and stamping! Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to be camping…but sadly have to work this weekend.

Memorial Day is usually spent with family/friends but the first thing we do is attend a Memorial Day service at a local cemetery to remember and honor those who have gone on before us.
We grilled out with the kids and their boy/girlfriend. One set left now to drive back to Chicago while the others were going to see “her” parents……so I have the Swallowtail stamp sitting out on my stamping table with a few ideas I need to give a try! What fun on a windy, chilly day! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Action packed! Dance recital, birthday party and then relaxing on Monday. Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance.
I actually love working on Memorial Day(after the parade and celebrating), time and a half will pay for a few more stamp sets:) Have a wonderful holiday weekend, and thank you to all the selfless veterans who sacrificed their lives for our freedom! Hope all remember the meaning of this special holiday.
Wedding shower for my niece, Memorial Day service at church and barbecue with friends. I hope you have a great and thankful weekend!

Relaxing is the best way to spend Memorial Day as we remember the ones who paid the price so that we can relax!
Family BBQ , decorating gravesites, fishing with my boys and playing in my stamp room
We love to fire up the grill and cook up some yummy food for family and friends. I hope to get a bit of stamping done as well. 🙂
We are taking advantage of the long weekend to visit family. Of course I never travel without my SU catalogs and I’ve gotten to look at both annual catalogs on this trip. Just looking at them makes me want to get ink on my fingers!
I am spending the weekend with my family that I haven’t seen in a year. We’re going to get our craft on too! That is my favorite!
We are spending time with family, cooking out, and enjoying our deck!

I am spending the weekend at my son’s house. Looking out at the Hood Canal, from the town of Union, Washington. The view is spectacular, of the water and mountains, ever changing with the tides and weather. We are working on the spring garden clean-up (if the weather cooperates!! We are a military family, retired. But actively working at two military bases on the Kitsap Pennisula, and active with the VFW. A big “Thank You!”, to all our troops deployed so we can be safe at home, enjoying our fabulous weekend!!!
A little of everything for me…just not camping! Had some pampering with my youngest daughter while my husband and older daughter are away. Spent some time with family and also going to a grad party. And I will have plenty of time to stamp! Yay!
What am I going to do on Memorial Day? The only thing that I love doing, spending time with my family. And maybe sneak in some stamping 🙂
Memorial Day was the day 21 years ago that my husband asked me to be his wife. Now I look back this day and realize how blessed I am with two beautiful children. I love spending the day with my family.
hmmm…would love to do all three..a little bbq…a little or a lot of pampering… and most definitely some stamping and creating… wait a minute I think its possible… I do have a pop up trailer in the back that’s open, my husband can pampering me with a little fireside coffee and music and I can walk into the house after a while and do my creating… GENIUS…Lol
god bless
I spend the day w/ family with either Texas bbq at a Memorial Day Parade or the local fireworks show. It’s in the works at the moment 🙂
Wow! What an amazing array of products. I absolutely love the sketched birthday stamp set and it is on my list of “must have’s round 1” in the new catalog. This Memorial Day is supposed to be cold and rainy. I am going to stay warm and think sunny from my stamp room!
Camping is my fave but unfortunately not happening this weekend. Staying in and trying to recoop and regroup from illness
Grilling of course and just relaxing. Hoping to recharge my battery.

We will be having a BBQ with my daughter and son-in-law. I am making their favorite dessert, Rhubarb Pie. I am waiting for them to come out of the oven so I had a few minutes to browse my e-mail. What a great gift. Have a wonderful weekend.
Memorial Day is the kickoff for our family summer DIY projects. By Tuesday, it’s time for a break and we head to the nail salon for manicures and pedicures before heading back for a short work week.

Thanks for the chance to win, Mary!
Our favorite thing to do on Memorial Day week-end this year was to take our Boy Scout Troop camping.

Out to dinner with family then just relaxing and maybe some stamping.
We will be spending it with our daughters and enjoying gorgeous, green Kansas.
Favorite past time for Memorial Day is hanging with family bbqing. This year however we are getting soaked with rain rain and more rain in New England, so I’ll be staying in finishing up homework and hopefully sneaking into my craft room to create some great graduation cards..
Usually we would so to a parade and then have a cookout with family but the weather is not cooperating – rain and more rain. So guess I’ll spend some time looking at the new catalog and making a list of all the goodies I would love to get.
Our favorite thing to do is relax, bond and eat =) Hope you get to do your favorite things this weekend and thanks for the chance at winning some blog candy =)
I love having the extra day to spend time with the family! Of course, the best part is being able to sleep in (for a bit). =)

This weekend my brother is visiting from out of town – we are going to a Milwaukee Brewers game tomorrow and the local Chocolate Festival on Monday! Thanks so much for your awesome posts – I look forward to them daily!! Have a great weekend, too!
Although I’d love to have time to get my gardening done and play in my stamp room, my first priority almost every Memorial Day is to get my classroom cleaned out and my grade cards done–then my summer begins.
A little stampin, a little pampering, a trip to several nearby cemeteries to honor those in
our family who have served so selflessly and a BBQ. Always love to check out your blog.

Thanks so much for my SU catalog!
More family time tomorrow! A great way to spend the long weekend. I love the cards you have made with this set. Adorable!
This year, I pampered myself with a mani/pedi and had my hair colored. Ahhh…so nice to spend a little ‘me’ time! Also planning to help with my grandson’s birthday party tomorrow. And then…(drum roll)…I’m going to disappear into my craft room!

Visiting the west coast, but it is raining, so I am scrapping.!

I will be organizing and stamping the next two days…just my kind of 3 day weekend! Hope you’re having a great weekend too!
Mmmm – Memorial Day weekend – so far just enjoying family get together – eating, which always makes get togethers that much more great. 🙂 On vacation from work, so just doing pretty much “nothing” has been the best for me. I’ve plans to do some organizing in my stamping area before my time is up – and of course some stamping. Have to get those swaps ready for convention – so excited – my 1st time. Would love to win the all the awesome items you’ve put together for some lucky winner. Hope it’s me. Thanks for the chance. Love your blog, Mary.

I like the extra day added on to the weekend so that I can finally get into my crafting room- and the picnics aren’t that bad either!
We usually go up north to the cabin fishing, but we’re staying home this year. I took my mom for a pedi this morning, and probably just gonna do yardwork and plant flowers.

Just finished another school year. Spending the weekend at the in-laws cleaning their yard up after the winter and spending time with family. Looking forward to a few minutes in my craft room! Thanks!
I did housework all-day today, but I’m hoping to do a clear paint can, all fixed up with paper, ribbon & then filled with baby goodies for an upcoming baby shower and thinking about gearing up to do a birthday card for my mom’s birthday in a couple of weeks. This extended rainy weather (here in Maine) is perfect for this type of thing. Thanks for the blog giveaway!
My son’s 25th birthday celebration is this weekend….he was over in Iraq a few of his last birthdays (a Marine) so I am happy he is safely home and celebrating with us.
My favorite activity is a fire pit with hot dogs roasting. Hope to do it tomorrow. Thanks for the giveaway.
This year is all about family and friends. We’re staying home together and we’re going to be helping friends paint their new house. A little stamping will be done too!
Hopefully it will stop raining!!
Stamped a few mustache cards inspired by you! Recovering from a cold… laying low over the weekend. Our traveling begins next week… fun fun fun!
Family and cook-out is on our agenda. Your blog is awesome.
I will be stamping and crafting all week…well that is my plan 🙂 Happy Memorial Day!
Stamping with a little pampering for sure. And a movie marathon…gotta have a movie marathon. Add in time remembering the reason for the holiday and the people I’ve known who’ve given service and it’s a perfect weekend.
When I lived closer to family we used to spend an afternoon of Memorial Day weekend at the cemetery cleaning up family graves (and their neighbors if they needed it) and sharing a picnic with grandma and grandpa. Now most of the family I shared those times with are gone themselves and I hope that their neighbors families are looking with fondness at them on a special day.
Thanks Mary for sharing the candy and the thoughts of a fun weekend.
Hugs and blessings.
Deffinitly Stamping! We also are planning a Family BBQ if the weather holds out and all the kids are feeling well! Thanks for the awesome opportunity!
This weekend we are home with two of our grandchildren, ages 8 (boy) and 11 (girl). Their parents’ anniversary was the 23rd, so they are on a much deserved and needed ‘get-a-way’. We were sitting around the kitchen table and they made cards for the anniversary to give to Mom and Dad when they get back.
I was designing something masculine for a Father’s day gift for a church that we volunteer our skills to.
Extra time with family and creating cards, what more could I want? 🙂
I wish I could be stamping but have to work….be kind to your walmart employees in honor of me!!!
Stamping on my weekend off!

I’ll have an open house for ladies to come & stamp any cards I’ve made in the past that I had extras cut along with a few new ones with retired products. They pay for the number of cards they make. I’m also looking forward to Paper Pumkin fun> Happy Memorial Day to all of our Vets & active military, especially my husband.
My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day is to relax and spend time with my family! Thanks for all you do Mary!
My favorite thing to do is camp out with friends and family but this year I will be moving both of my kids into their new apartments 🙂
Memorial Day weekend if first and foremost for expressing gratitude to those who have served our country and preserved our freedom. After that, it’s time for my flower baskets and plantings!
I’m planning on stamping Saturday & Sunday (between naps!) and on Monday we’ll go visit my parent’s graves – Dad was a veteran so will go put a flag on his grave at Jefferson Barracks (VA) cemetary. (Love your blog!)
An empty nester, husband on a business trip, cold and rainy out…sounds like a good time to spend crafting! Thanks for your inspiration & great blog candy opportunity!
My favorite activity on Memorial Day Weekend is to go to my Dad’s cabin and craft while looking at the calm serene water. I don’t have to do chores; I just get to relax and have fun. Thanks for the chance to win.
We were going to stay home and mow the lawn, but the mower broke, so we went out to breakfast and shopping today and tomorrow it is all rest and relaxing! Monday who knows? Thanks 4 the chance!
I will be enjoying the weekend with family. I am hoping to get some stamping fun in this weekend too!
I’m hoping to clean up my craft room today so I can stamp tomorrow and Monday!!! It’s really a mess right now. :-/
Hi Mary! I plan to enjoy my family and playing in my craft room!!
Memorial Day lunch with my family. Then catching up on my card-making and watching the last three episodes of one of my favorite tv programs which hubby was nice enough to DVR for me!
STAMPING! Always first choice. I don’t really like camping, and I will be getting pampered (massage) on Tuesday. However, I probably won’t have time to stamp this weekend. We are doing a makeover on the laundry room, because the new washer and dryer are arriving Monday! Aaauuuggghhh! gotta get back to work.
We’ve always camped out for Memorial weekend until the last few years. But camping, stamping, and pampering are all my favorite things to do!!
Thanks for being an inspiration Mary! Being a follower of yours is also one of my favorite things to do all year round!
I’ll be reorganizing my craft room preparing space for new items from new catalog 😉
Thanks for chance to win such fun blog candy.
Sadly, recouping from bronchitis, so this weekend, pampering and maybe a little stamping! Hopefully by Monday we can get the fam together for eats and some games! thanks for entering me in the drawing!
Stamping and quilting — the best way to spend every day. 🙂
Hi, Mary! I will be catching up on some stamping this weekend (after biking and swimming!).
Memorial Day is a busy weekend – we visit family, my daughter’s swim team has a pool party and our cul-de-sac has a cookout. It really seems like summer now! I also plan to get a lot of stamping in as we’ll!
This year the excitement is staying at home! Best wishes to all for entering into this BLOG Candy.
My family usually spends Memorial Day weekend grilling out with friends and family! We usually manage to fit in a big yard project too. : )
family, church, parade,and of course picnic with family and friends 🙂 won’t be stamping this weekend…….God Bless America!!!
Memorial day weekend is packed with activity – Farmers market, tennis, get together with friends – sharing food, laughter and fun, baseball game. I don’t foresee any time to make cards this weekend but ….
Main goal is to make US flag with my daughters to honor individuals in military who sacrificed their life.
Hope you have a good long weekend. Thanks for the blog candy giveaway.
Cheers,
Amy
I like campin’ on other week-ends that aren’t holidays. So this week-end it is all stampin’
Visit to Veterans Memorial Cemetery to see all the flags flying in the breeze (they put one at each grave site) and then time with family. Maybe get some time to make some cards too. Thanks for all you share!!!
Ever since I was little, we went to the Memorial Day parade and then went to the cemetary to put flowers on those in our family who were veterans from the different wars. Now, I put flags out in front of our house and look for a parade in the area to go to. Since I am no longer in my childhood state, I like to get together with my children, BBQ, and go to the Veterans Memorial in another town so that I can feel that I am honoring those who fought so hard for our freedom.
Unfortunately, I have finals this week so they will be spent studying and preparing for them. However, I favor pampering, watching a good movie and relaxing with family – also out door picnics and time in the Nevada Sun. Happy Memorial Day everyone!
Hi Mary,
My mom and I will be stamping! And then in the evening, my whole family will do our traditional bar b que. Looking forward to a nice day of relaxing and crafting! Thanks for always offering such fun blog give aways. You are so kind to do so many of them! And I love your 3 x 3 cards. The colors are so fun. I love checking my email each day for your latest post. I love your ideas! Thanks for sharing Mary! Have a great memorial day!
As a retired military family, & proud Americans, we will be honoring military friends & family, past & present, in our thoughts, hearts & prayers.
And as proud grandparents we will be preparing for our flight/trip to see our granddaughter Breanna graduate high school next week.
As a stamper I’ll be putting the finishing touches to Bree’s graduation card & scrapbook present!
A blessed Memorial Day to all–may God bless our Troops & Veterans & their families!
We are big “Auction Hounds” so we will be going to 3 over the 4 day weekend plus having dinner fun with family! Thanks for the give away candy and I hope to see you at Convention in July!
Lisa
I will be going to a Memorial Day parade in the town that I grew up in. Then to the cemetary hear a friend of my daughter’s, give the address to those of us there. He has been in the PA National Guards for several years. My daughter lost a classmate/ friend this year. He was with the Navy Seals, when we come home I plan to spend time remembering those who gave the ultimate for my freedoms. I also plan to make a card for his wife and two small childern to let them know, they are not forgotten and always in my prayers! God Bless each and every service member and their families! God Bless the USA!
I’ll be taking my twins to the park and letting them run crazy and blowing off steam while I recover from strep and my husband works a 12hr shift. Lol. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Have a fun weekend. 🙂
Now that the rain has somewhat calmed in east of the mountains in Washington State I am going to garden and plant some tomatoes. Plus enjoy a little sunshine! Enjoy your designs and blog.
While I do wish I was camping… I’m happy to be stamping this weekend! My upcoming wedding is such a good reason for so much crafting… and what better than a long weekend to work on all of it?
Well, we always went camping when growing up! I live in the mountains now with beautiful scenery all around me so I am doing my favorite thing everyday….camping! Oh, I do live in a house though..LOL and of course, what’s Memorial Day weekend w/o a barbecue and giving thanks for the wonderful country I am privileged to live in. Hope everyone stays safe and has a great long weekend! Vicki
My weekend activities include catching up on cleaning and hopefully a few minutes of stamping squeezed in. Thanks for the chance to win!
Instead of creative or obligatory pursuits, I’ll be doing something different this coming Monday. I’m traveling to Arlington National Cemetery to visit my Dad, who served our country in WWII, Korea and Vietnam (and my Mother buried with him). The weather promises to be good, and it’s a beautiful place to be on such a ‘holiday’- with American flags at every tombstone.
We go to our family cabin for the first time after winter. Lots of fun, lots of work!
Plan on making a few cards and enjoying the new Stampin Up Catalog that just arrived from you!
My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day is to spend time in my craft room making cards for OWH, for our service men and women. To thank them for the sacrifice they make to keep our country safe.
Stamping, camping and pampering.
Stamping and hot dogs on the grill. Thanks for a chance to win this incredible blog candy.
Honestly, I have never been camping. But, I would absolutely love to do all three! Everyone have a safe Memorial Day!
stamping, camping and pampering, who says you can’t have it all!
We gather with friends and have a BBQ. Hope you have a good Memorial Day time.
Hugs
Memorial Day weekend celebrating my niece’s 16 th birthday and my sister- in- law’s 60th birthday, family time!
This is a set-in-stone-exclusive-stamping holiday for me. Cook, schmook–don’t bother me today, although Honey can throw a dog on the grill for me: I will come out briefly when I get hungry!!
This is wonderful…boy, could I use this….thank you!
Every year we BBQ and it is always a a blast. Family time is always good! Thank you for all your inspiration.
I love the long holiday weekends! Walks with the dog, naps, coffee with friends, and dinner out!
Hi Mary,
this weekend I will be pampering my daughter in law who just gave birth to our first grandchild….a baby girl!!! I am thrilled.
Happy Memorial Day.
The long weekend gives me a little extra time to try a new stamping technique or two. I still do all the BBQ things, but I take a little time for myself.
I’m sure to find time to stamp this weekend. The best combination would be Stamping AND Pampering. 🙂
I like to stay home, but head over to the mall and outlet malls for some Memorial Weekend sales. I’m going out today with my teenage son, always a fun activity !
Memorial Day is about family…and BBQ…and maybe getting in some stamping with my grandsons.
Thanks for giving us a chance to win the special blog candy, Mary. My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day weekend is to entertain our family. We live in the mountains in a resort atmosphere and enjoy taking them to the lake, miniature golfing and to a historical park where we enjoy “days of the past”, playing games, etc. I always bake special goodies and we play games.
Diane Gil.
I like to rest, spend time with my family (walks, bike rides) and stamp!
Putting up our pool! So I’d call it pampering preparation We spend a lot of time in it all summer.
Finishing my granddaughter’s 1st birthday party goodies. Thanks for the great give away. Love your blog.
when my girls were still at home a trip to the beach was always a good time – this weekend I’m cleaning so I can craft next weekend 😉
We enjoy taking out my husbands pontoon boat and fishing at local lakes. We enjoy spending time together as a family.
staying home and planning on doing some stamping.
Hi. I had a sale today of my longaberger excess and did very well. I had a box of rubber stamps to sell but forgot to putout…oh well, must have been an omen to get back and stamping again. I haven’t stamped in about a month. Hope I win,
All of our families get together and bring a dish to pass around and BBQ. It is always a fun time. By the end of the day we will all have some homemade ice cream. Thank you for a chance to win your blog candy. Enjoy your blog everyday.
Stamping and family time for me! And, if it stops raining, maybe a little gardening, too!
What could be better than three days away from the office?
Three days of stamping!

This Memorial Day weekend is very sad for me, as my husband of 54 yrs. passed away Nov. 30th. I will be spending the day with family and celebrating great-grandaughters’ birthdays.
Memorial Day always starts the BBQ season for my family and when everyone leaves I get to have some down time in my craft room. I can’t ask for better than that. Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy. Have a great weekend.

Driving home from great Las Vegas get-away. Managed to fit some stamping in! Watching Indy 500 on Sunday…good family time!
Years ago this was the week-end that we opened our lake cottage for the summer. Now it’s a time for all of those good memories. I love that transition to the summer slower pace! Time in my studio is a priority.
Also time to remember those who have served our country so well.
What an awesome giveaway!!!!! Happy Memorial Day 🙂
Heading to the Indy 500. Varoom Varoom!!!!

My fav activity is hanging with my family & the beach!
I just love your web site and all your creative ideas ! I would love to win this candy give away and thank you for offering it !!
My favorite thing to do Memorial Day was to grill with family but now we live quite a distance from them. Since our anniversary is always around Memorial Day (and this year it IS on Memorial Day), we are taking a cruise to celebrate.
Grilling with family used to be my favorite Memorial Day activity. Since our anniversary falls near Memorial Day each year (in fact, this year it IS Memorial Day) we are going on a cruise to celebrate!
While I love all 3 of your options, I am just hanging out with my family and will be joining the extended family for a cookout. Everything is more fun with family!!!! Thanks for the chance to win the candy. Have a great weekend!!!!
I have the whole weekend to get flowers planted, lawn mowed and garden beds cleaned out. When that is done, down to my craft room I will go to play with my New Stampin Up supplies!
Memorial Day Weekend is a time for me to reflect on our service people who have given so much. Love to see the little flags flying when I go to put flowers on my husband’s, father’s and brother-in-laws graves. Two of them served and came home after WWII to live long lives. So grateful.
We are going to a cookout Monday but I will be stamping the rest of the long weekend, woohoo!
My favorite activity to do on Memorial Day is to sit outside, grab a glass of wine, take my stampin up catalog and scour it for ideas to do over the summer. What a great way to sit back and relax!
This month has been stressful, personally and professionally, so I am looking forward to relaxing this 3-day weekend. I met an old friend for coffee this morning and plan to get together with my parents later. I have been reorganizing my stamp room since December and hope to get in there this weekend and finish so I can actually stamp. Thank you for sharing your creativity! Happy Memorial Day!
Going to the mountaines in Eastern Washington – staying in a bavarian communiuty called Leavenworth. They even play the alp horns at Xmastime and for special events. Feel like we are in Switzerland or Austria. Have the grand kids – lots of fun. Doing some hiking, biking, swimming, whatever we can do outside. Thanks for all you do for your stamping friends.
Going to our very, very simple cabin, with an emergency stampin kit in case of bad weather.
Hubby and I are both retired Air Force, so we host the family BBQ. Love getting the family together as it keeps growing (2 new babies in the past 6 months). We are truly blessed.
Hi Mary, love your blog!! For many years we used to do a Memorial Day Program for our vets in our hometown and we would be joined by the Canadian veterans also. During the program there would be a slide show honor roll of all the Vets that had passed away whether in battle or not. It was just a beautiful. This year will just be relaxing and hopefully stamping. Thank you for a chance to win!!

Wow, over 400 comments. Awesome. I just have to enter, love that set.
We moved here just over 3 yrs ago, and our friends usually have a BBQ for memorial day, I love that, it’s gets pretty big is is such a nice time.

Spending the weekend with family and friends. Hopefully there will be time for shopping and crafting as well! 🙂
Report cards! Not fun but been busy in meetings planning for next year new common core teaching standards that will finally put most of our states on the same teaching level.
My NEW favorite time is spending by the pool and spending time with my hubby. This is our first time having a pool so we are sharing it with friends. We are in Tucson, AZ and all our family is back east. But the fun with friends is also amazing. Cooking out, playing pool volley ball, kiddy pool for the young ones, and relaxation for my hubby, Three day weekend for him and so he deserves all the fun and relaxing. I love you sweetie….
Getting together with family and friends. Will be MDS scrap booking today, and enjoying our beautiful sunny day.
I’m a teacher and Memorial Day weekend is when my summer fever really begins! My family and I usually go to our camp in northern Maine a relax and go four-wheeling.Your card ideas and your dedication to posting something daily is inspiring to me and I’ve made many of your cards.
I will spend Memorial Day being care giver for my friend who just had a transplant and being thankful for this great country.
Taking a walk on the beach with my husband is my favorite holiday activity!
I’m looking forward to seeing the new Catalog!
Hopefully this will go through as I my first post didn’t. I will be stamping this weekend as I have two scrapbooks and several cards I need to get done. I love visiting your blog as I always seem to get great ideas. We are also having a cookout on Monday with some friends. Thank you for the opportunity to win some blog candy.
Our town has a parade led by the high school band and a service at the center of town where there is a memorial commemorating all those who have given their lives in war so that we may be free..it is a time to remember our servicemen and women and what they continue to do for us all…
blessings

Grilling hamburgers with the family.
I will be stamping and hanging out with my family. Thanks for sharing fresh ideas each day!
Working in the yard and flower beds with my husband. Will get together with our kids and grandkids for barbeque and family fun too. Maybe squeeze in some stamping and quilting if I am lucky!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend also!
Memorial Day weekend gives me extra time to walk in the park with my daughter and spend more time at my craft table making beautiful cards. Thank you for all your clever card ideas.
My favorite activity for this weekend? Crafting of course! I’m going to make some cards and hopefully get to organize pictures for scrapbooking!
This weekend we are finishing our mini yard makeover. This make weekend number three so I am so ready for it to be done!
We are finishing up our yard mini makeover. Not how I want to spend the weekend but it needs to get finished. This is weekend three of work. Hopefully I’ll make a card or two and a scrap page. Maybe the movies and of course BBQ.
No grand plans except playing with the grandbubbies, buying another table for my stamping area, grilling dinner and, hopefully, winning your blog candy! LOL! Mary, I don’t know how you do it every day but I am glad you do! I will also be thinking of an uncle and others who died defending our country. I am able to enjoy this start-of-summer weekend because of their service, and I am grateful.
Oh My Goodness – what a lovely array of goodies! Would love to win 🙂 Thanks for the chance at this sweet blog candy! I spend most Memorial day weekend relaxing – whether that means crafting or hanging with my hubby (our wedding anniversary is over Memorial weekend). It’s always a great weekend, no matter what our plans end up being!
We have rain not that I would go camping. I need two sympathy cards so will be stamping a little at least. Actually, sleeping or snoozing will be big on my list. We need to go decorate graves though. Wow, what great blog candy!
I’d say that stamping is where my heart is, but since it’s my weekend off it’s date weekend with DH. We are making peirogis today and baking cookies tomorrow. We’re fitting in a 5K walk and a movie too.
I will definitely be in my studio stamping ?
If I had my choice, I would be camping. But I will go with my second option stamping and getting some manly cards done. They are so much harder to do for some reason.
Memorial day means visiting the graves of soldiers for me. However this holiday we r out of state getting our son ready to start college Tuesday.
My favorite thing ot do is spend time with family and friends, so with an ordination, my godson’s school play and being tour guide to out-of-town guests that’s exactly how I’ll get to spend the weekend!
Love to spend time with family and friends. Always, always pray for the men and women who fight for our country so that we may enjoy freedom. God bless America!
Stamping AND pampering. I have some thank you cards that need finishing and then its off to get the first pedi of the summer.
Hi Mary,
I love going to the beach and playing beach tennis!
Love your blog!
Hi Mary! My favorite activity is getting together with my children and grandchildren and spending the day together! We laugh and play and take tons of pictures! What could be better!
This weekend I’ll be…
Staying…home
Cleaning…inside and out
Stamping…time to finish that commissioned project
Sewing…with my Mom ?
Thinking of our Servicemen & Servicewomen
Praying for those that are out to return home safely
Remembering those who have passed on
Lighting a candle in their memory
Loving…my family and friends

We’re celebrating a graduation here and rearranging rooms in the house. Hopefully I’ll get a few good hours of stamping in. I’ve got a couple of stamping parties coming up that I need to create cards for.
My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day is go the our local parade and honor our veterans. Then relax and enjoy whatever happens next.
Awesome – thank you for the chance to enter. What I love about Memorial Day is being able to sleep in and not rush the girls off to school. We can all play in my stamp room and come up with some creative ideas.
Memorial Day Weekend always happens just before June 1st which is the deadline for planting grass in the Farm Service Agency program, so my husband will be busy all weekend planting grass for others.
WHICH leaves me LOTS of stamping time! Ah, shucks!
I am staying home and celebrating my son’s 20th birthday. He was born on the 28th of May. We are having a mustache themed party – I think we will have a lot of fun!
Definitely NOT camping…pampering my self with some stamping time…YES. Love your blog.
I love to BBQ and spend time with family on holiday weekends… Oh and try to stay cool in this ridiculous heat. 🙂
Those are all great options for enjoying the family time over the Memorial Day holiday, but I plan to play catch up in my garden and take advantage of all this ALabama sunshine to pamper my new veggie sprouts! Thanks for the opportunity to win some goodies, and for the years of creative inspiration. You’re the BEST!
Relaxing and stamping! The two go together for me! Remembering those who gave their lives so I am able to chose.
Staying home planting flowers, decorating a graduation banner, watching races, flying our American flag and remembering those who have served and died for my freedom.
Staying one and avoiding the traffic! Gives me time to craft. I love getting my creative juices going! And you always have something to jump start me. Thanks!
Will be going to a baseball game and hanging around with the family. Thanks for the chance to win.
We will be going to a picnic to celebrate a friend’s 86th birthday! Yea!! Enjoy your holiday Mary.
I spend my Memorial Day weekend remembering my Dad and all of his brothers that served in WWII and have died. I made “thank you” cards for my daughter and son who also are in the Armed Forces.
Camping all the way for our family. Although I would totally take a stamping weekend too!
My favorite activity over Memorial Day weekend is time off at home. We barbecue, visit with family and friends and catch up on all the work in the garden.
My favorite thing to do over Memorial Day Weekend is go camping.(the first social networking). And I may do a little stamping too! Thank you for the chance to win!
Happy & Safe Memorial Day to all!!

I will be going to the cemetery.
We are having my Granddaughter’s 12th birthday party !! Family, friends, great food, the pool and beautiful sunny weather~~ should be perfect !! Thanks for a chance for Blog Candy. I love the stamp set!!
My plan was to work in the yard and garden, but we are having rain. Can’t complain, though, because we are in a severe drought area. That means I can stamp and sew. Yippee! Thanks for offering the great prize.
We BBQ every year with friends and hang out by the pool for some great fellowship.
Favorite activity for Memorial weekend…first, I’m thankful for the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The freedom they fought for allows me to pursue my passion of crafting. I am making a wedding card today for a cousin who is getting married this evening in our beautiful town of Charleston, SC. The weather is AMAZING today (not humid or unbearably hot!)! I will have the opportunity to visit with family that lives out of town, and catch up with all of their children, work, etc. GREAT WEEKEND!!! Grateful is what I am! <3
Stamping for me this Memorial Day. Thank you for
all the neat ideas they should keep busy. 🙂
My favorite thing to do is to go out with my daughter and ride our horses. But it’s pouring here so the only natural alternative is a full day of stamping!!!
My favorite thing to do is to stay at home with my family, enjoy my husband and kids. Then we have a outside party. I love decorating for that!
Hi Mary, this is a great day for me as my youngest daughter and grand kids will spend the weekend at my house, and go together to see my Mom who is in her last days. They haven’t seen her for a couple of years and even though she won’t know us we will be standing by!
Thanks for the chance of goodies!
My favorite memorial day event is spending time with family and friends!

Hanging out with family we don’t get to see very often is always a delight – especially on Memorial weekend!
Will be relaxing and spending time with family! It is rainy in New England this weekend so plenty of time for stamping! Thanks for the opportunity to win the Blog Candy!
Enjoy the weekend.
My birthday sometimes falls on Memorial Day (May 29th), so my favorite Memorial Day Weekend activity is spending time with my family and enjoying a little pampering from my hubby. He usually makes me a yummy dinner and chocolate mousse cake!
We will enjoy family time and maybe get a few “chores” done. Looking forward to my daughter’s two solos in church Sunday, and a patio picnic planned for Monday. We hope for nice weather! Thanks for the chance to win some SU product.
This year we are laying low and staying home. We will probably knock a couple little projects at home and hopefully I can squeeze in some stamping time! Enjoy your weekend!
My sister and I are going to a professional baseball game along with her daughter who just graduated from high school. My sister’s 19 year old son died last year but played baseball while growing up. Our father has been dead since 1975, but he listened to games on his transistor radio after losing his sight. We thought the best way to honor them was to see a game which they both loved.
Love these little cards! Ill be stamping this weekend-woohoo! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love your style! Thanks for your inspiration and chance to win some of these terrific products.
OOOHHH! After a few week of gearing up for Teacher Appreciation Week for my 3 daughters (who are at 3 different school) my house looks like a paper factory exploded! No kidding! I do not have the good fortune of having a crafting room so the dining table and the coffee table and any surface that I can set thing to dry is what I have to work with. So I will be MAJOR cleaning this weekend. It would be kinda nice to relax if I get a chance though.
Blessings,
Valerie
Memorial Day weekend is when I usually try to ‘catch-up’ on different things including stamping.
Sunday are celebrating our Grand daughters birthday and I need to make a different birthday card for her. I bought an outfit [plus lots more of course], but love the colors in the outfit so want to make a card to match!
Thanks for the wonderful give-away Mary! Hope your having a great weekend also!!
stamping! its my resolution!
Memorial Day weekend you’ll find us either swimming at the pool or heading to the beach. This year it’s the beach to soak up the sun. Can’t wait.
This will be a very busy weekend……planting our garden and cleaning up trees that fell through the winter. Also taking time to grill out with the neighbors. Lots of fun in the sun!
Mani pedi between soccer tournament games! And maybe some stamping of thank you cards for my favorite colleagues at school (I’m a teacher is this is our last week !)
Mary, First – I love your blog – so many great ideas! My favorite Memorial Day Weekend … spending time with my daughters and grandchildren. We’re hanging by the pool and enjoying the day together. AND I never forget how many men and women serve our country to keep us safe and free. Thanks so much for the fun of your Blog Candy!
This weekend I am having a girlie weekend with my friend Deanna. We plan on making cards all weekend. Last time we did this we made 140 Cards. Lol! We have been friends for 37 years! You should see what we did to the living room to stamp all weekend at her place!!!
Love your work!
Putting flowers and flags on special cemetery sites, also
We will be having a small group over for BBQ

Enjoy your weekend too!
spending time with family and friends and of course having more time to craft 🙂
Thanks so much for a chance to win some wonderful SU! products; you are so generous. This Memorial weekend, my favorite things to do will be boating and fishing with my husband, grilling, puttering around the house, and of course stamping.
Usually I am outdoors planting flowers or weeding my flower gardens. Since we are having a rainy weekend, I am going to be scrapbooking and making cards. As usual I will be checking your website and “borrowing” your terrific ideas.
Doing some late spring cleaning at our cottage in Wisconsin, hoping it gets warmer out soon!
I love your blog spot with all the tutorials and ideas!! We love to go camping with the family during the Memorial Day weekend. I lost my husband just a year and a half ago so I am staying home this weekend to work in the yard and made cards.
How very nice of you Mary and what a great selection of goodies! Even though I retired about a year and a half ago, I still enjoy long weekends…guess they are embedded in my head! We enjoy staying at home on these long weekends and catching a movie and generally relaxing…and hopefully some time at my craft table!
Mary,
My favorite activity is stamping, of course. Also, a few cookouts sprinkled in. Wish our weather was going to be warmer!
Thanks for your wonderful blog!

Love spending time with my family on Memorial Day. So many families gave up so much to serve our country. We enjoy preparing a large meal including BBQ and other family favorite dishes.
Mary, this looks like such fun blog candy! Would be great to win. I’m new to your great inspirations and love all that you do. Getting yards and gardens ready is the plan for this weekend. Also, going to a Memorial Day service to remember all the veterans did for our country to keep us safe and FREE. Have a great weekend yourself.
Glad to be off work for a few days and relax with my family. Your great ideas inspire me to get some stampin time in. Thankful for those who died protecting my freedoms.
This weekend we will be spending time with family and friends at graduation open house parties! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Staying home pampering my hubby, who’s not feeling so good….:(. Enjoy the weekend.
Heading out to a graduation party and relaxing with friends.
Just staying home and tskong it easy. Too many crazy drivers on the road.
Yard work & spending time with family…and shopping for those great Memorial Day sales!
In my stamp room this week-end, need to make some “Thinking of You” cards!
My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day is to go hiking with family, and to remember those who made my freedom possible. Thank you for your wonderful card ideas. They help me make projects for my youth volunteer activities. You are an artist!
Most likely I will spend this weekend stamping and organizing my stamp room in preparation for all the new things we can order next week! Thanks for such a great blog candy offering…love those 3×3 cards!
This year my 18 year old granddaughter (from MN) is spending 2 weeks with me (AZ) to work on a school project! I can honestly say it will be a Memorial Day like no other in a looong time. Those little notes are too cute! Thanks for all your inspiration and great blog candy giveaways. I know they make whoever wins them very happy. Maybe it will be me this time.
I like to celebrate Memorail Day and the beginning of summer by having a family cook out and celebrating my daughter’s birthday on the 27th.
Normally it spent in the mountians visiting family, sitting around a campfire. This year it will be spent doing lots of crafting and friends and BBqing!
I love your color combo of Bermuda Bay and Summer Starfruit. Also, the Pear Pizzazz. I am getting excited about the new colors and the possibilities for creations with them.
This year, Memorial Day weekend is all about stamping! Thanks for the inspiration + fabulous blog candy opportunity. (I hope I win!)
We’re doing such a variety of things it’s crazy!! We’re doing some yard work, then dropping the kids off at a birthday party, then going to a funeral for my Grandma….and that’s all on Saturday. Then Sunday, we are doing more yard work, then having a family cook out. And finally, on Monday, we are taking the kids to see a movie they are dying to see. It’s gonna be a long, crazy weekend!!
Staying home and doing what I want, which is trying to get some organizing done and cleaning. May head to my LSS as they are having a few surprises for the weekend. So I would call that pampering because I get to stay home and work on what I want.
I will be making hand stamped Wiener Dog Reunion invitations (over 100) for our picnic the end of August. I love the idea of CASEing and you provide us such awesome opportunities to branch off our creativity. Thanks for the many WOW videos, too!
Growing up in Kentucky we would always visit our family’s graves, plant flowers and clean the area out of respect for those who had passed.
Now we live in Moore, OK I am hoping to spend the weekend working on cards for those who lost homes, just a way to show them they are not forgotten through this disaster. We are fortunate to have our lives and our home. My hubby who is active duty Air Force has been helping salvage things at one of his deployed troop?s home. We are thanking God that the tornado didn?t hit my sons? school, since we were all in the building, except my hubby who was in our shelter at our home. It came very close though. Just feel very blessed this Memorial weekend, knowing I have a place to rest my head and 3 sons to hug and a wonderful husband who is trying to help the best he can. I wish I could help more, but being at home with 3 small boys makes that a little hard.
Mary, thank you for all your wonderful creative ideas. I think you are very sweet! I love the wow tutorials! Thanks for everything! Blessings and Happy Stamping!
Our family travels Memorial Weekend to see family states away. Together we celebrate the living (sister in law with stage 4 ovarian cancer) and remember the ones lost serving our country and other that have preceeded us in death We decorate their graves and eat lots of food. Memorial Day means strangthening our family bond.
I am NOT camping – it’s raining here in Iowa. I AM stamping – making graduation cards. I am pampering – after graduation, hubby and I will just enjoy the rest of the weekend. Thanks for the chance to win this “candy”. Love your website!
Raining here on the northeast otherewise we would be picnicing. of course there is always a bright red tablecloth on the living room floor.
The Boy Scout Memorial Day breakfast.
Spending time with family. Making memories. Cookout. Taking picture to capture.
We’re watching the races in Charlotte all weekend!!! So, no stamping for me — stsmpin’ time will have to wait until baseball slows down or it rains! But then, that’s when the housework gets done! There are just not enough hours in the day to squeeze in stamping sometmes! I was able to drool over the catalog during the 9 hour trip, though, and start my wish list! Mary, thanks for your continued inspiration and the chance to win some awesome blog candy!!!! Have a great Memorial day weekend!!!
Definitely stamping! We generally have rain every Memorial Day. We will go to the cemetery and leave flowers at my mom’s site though. First time.
Hi mary,
I will be stamping all weekend, then we will cookout on monday. This is one of my favorite holidays because I know summer is here, my absolute favorite time of the year.
I am enjoying a 3 day weekend. Hope to get some things done around the house, which will include organizing my crafting stuff and maybe some stamping. So…I would call that pampering since I don’t have to be anywhere and can do what i want to do. Thanks for sharing the awesome blog candy!
With 3 days to myself with no work to catch up on this weekend is all about STAMPIN!
Making cards and visiting today…thanks for the chance to win some beautiful SU! Love your blog and love the products!
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and let’s all remember why we celebrate.
Godspeed!
Of course, stamping.Espcially trying some new techniques. Unfortunately my husband broke his hip in a bicycle accident and I am spending a lot of my crafting time taking care of him.
Catching up on sleep!
What a fun give-away. As for Memorial Day, we have a great time opening up the neighborhood pools and just getting together with our neighbors for fun.
I will be working on my hand stamped Wiener Dog Reunion invitations! I love coming up with new ideas and the ability to CASE. Thank you for all the great ideas you provide us novice stampers!
Hi,my favorite thing is spending time with my family and remembering all the men who have given their lives for our great country. My husband and I are currently helping a family that he lost both legs and an arm in Afghanistan due to the war.
We are exploring local sites….sometimes it’s fun to see what is in our own backyard!
Wish we were camping, but we will be watching lots of our grandson’s senior baseball games! Have a wonderful weekend!
Just staying home to get my flower gardening done for the season. Might get a chance to get a card made. Thanks, for the opportunity to win your blog candy.
After spending a week at my daughters helping her with some projects and taking care of my two granddaughters, I will be catching up with my sleep and just relaxing. I love to make cards so will probably be doing that as it also makes me relax. Thank you for your blog, I really enjoy it.
Just staying home trying to get my gardening done. Maybe even get some card making done too. Thanks, for the opportunity to win your blog candy.
Cleaning house, stamping, and playing outside! Waiting on my step daughter’s baby so keeping all my plans very loose!

Sitting around waiting for our granddaughter to be born. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am going to do some stamping and scrapbooking. If the weather was nice I would go to the Lake.
Our neighborhood pool opened up and we all love to cook out at the pool spending time with friends and family. Blessed for each day!
AAhhhh I have fond memories of camping with friends Memorial Day weekend, but this year I will be stamping away as I catch up on some cards and celebrate with family and friends as we honor and remember those who serve our country.
My favorite thing is to hang out & have a fun bbq & summer food & hopefully enjoy some nice sunny weather.
Swimming! When I was a kid we lived at a lake and Memorial Day weekend was the first time we were allowed to get in the water! Now it’s baseball with my 9 year old!!
My family always takes the time to set some quiet time aside to thank the soldiers that gave their lives so we can do all these wonderful things. I try to instill this in my daughter so she grows up to be grateful for living here.
I love extra time with my family. Thank you for all your ideas and tips!
Well, the honey-do-list is endless but I’d rather spent the memorial day week in my craft room. Blessings!
My favorite thing to do on weekends is to spend time with our children but with both of them in the Military this weekend (as all others) will be spent with friends and thanking our Veteran’s and Active Duty personal for their service to our wonderful country and praying for all those who lost their lives defending our FREEDOM! God Bless America!
As a teacher, Memorial Day weekend is traditionally a weekend of report cards and cumulative file folders to fill out. This has been a “tradition” for 25 years. Oh, my “breaks” consist of going outside to do some yard maintenance. Good for stress release. 🙂 In the back of my mind, I know that this too shall pass and I will soon have time to stamp again! Blessings and God Bless America and all who have sacrificed so much others.
Hi mary,
I will be stamping almost all weekend 🙂 then we will cookout monday. this is one of my favoite holidays because I know summer is right around the corner. My absulute favorite season .

Picnicking with my out-of-town grandson and daughter-in-law. Don’t see them often so it’s a treat. We’ll watch the community parade, hike, have our picnic, go for ice cream and enjoy each other. Life doesn’t get better!
Spending time with family and reorganizing my stamp room to gear up for convention swaps!!
My family and I like to relax at our farm by the river and be thankful for all the service people for their good work. That includes my marine son that served in Iraq during the first war. God bless our service people!
Thanks for the chance to win that wonderful stamp set! My favorite thing to do is stay home and putter around. Stamp, make delicious food, plant some flowers. Whatever I WANT to do at the time. Thanks to all our service members who make/made that a possibility.

Have a good one, and as always, keeping my fingers crossed to win all this great stuff!

Hubby and I will be spending a quiet, relaxing weekend at home. He will be watching sports on TV and I will be making lots of cards. I’m sure I’ll also be doing some reading and hopefully spending some time outside if the wind lets up later. Let’s remember the reason we celebrate Memorial Day!
We usually have my boys and family over for a BBQ and swimming. Hope to also get some cards made. Would love to win your prize. Looks lovely. Keep up the beautiful work.

I will be home relaxing with my hubby and doing some card making, too!
Getting together for time with my family is most enjoyable on Memorial Day. Also, looking forward to getting some birthday cards completed and some craft room organization done this weekend.
We participate at a memorial service at our local cemetery. U.S., Canadian & Indian representatives will be there to honor the fallen & their sacrifice.
Lots going on this weekend for us. First up a scenic drive to a craft show (lots of ideas, I hope) and then we will grill and there might even be a movie or minor league baseball game thrown in on Monday.
Thank you to all service men and women who, through the years and through their sacrifice, have made it possible for us to enjoy these freedoms. You are not forgotten!
Visiting daughter and family in San Antonio where it is training! Wonderful because rain is rare here! Love the blog candy!
My favorite thing to do is stay home with the extra day to do things I don’t have time fore during a regular work week. Sometimes it’s household chores, sometimes it’s something fun.
It will definitely be a crafting weekend as it is supposed to RAIN all three days. Yikes. Love your cards, Mary.

Staying home and starting preparations for my son’s graduation from 8th grade in 2 weeks! Finishing my handmade invites for his party, favor boxes for the class dinner dance, and making tomato sauce and cookies ahead of time!

I’ll be stamping and crafting…at least until I start feeling guilty about not getting “real” work done.
It used to be my anniversary. Now it’s spent with family. My favorite thing is eating. Haha. A good cooking out..hot dogs, hamburgers. Not sure if that’s in the cards this weekend due to health reasons but we’ll have to wait & see. Thankful for those who serve/served. Praying you have a good holiday.

Thank you Mary for your continued inspiration you are a “go to” blog for me.
A little pampering for this weekend as I just finished a busy week at work. Hopefully a little card making as I rest up for MTW at the hospital, Memorial Day is a work holiday for me as a hospital never closes.
Hi Mary, I love all of your tutorials. You have given me so many great ideas! I’ll be using some this weekend to do some Stampin’!
I will be spending the weekend making cards with my granddaughter and barbecuing for my family. Have a great weekend.
I prefer to have the best of both worlds; stamping and spending time with Family. Because of the location of my craft room, I am able to be in my own area, yet still have access to family.
Sandy;
First off, I would like to tell you that your penmanship is absolutely beautiful! I like the way you colored your card with the Copics. To answer your question, I am celebrating Memorial day by creating cards to send to our troops. All of the stamp set’s are absolutely wonderful!

My favorite thing to do is…..relaxixing outside by the pool with my IPAD and watching a lot of your 1 minute to Wow videos. You have been so helpful giving me ideas. I will be going to 2 graduation open houses. The weather stinks in Indiana. Very cloudy and cold. Is it really MAY? Don’t forget to watch the Indianapolis 500.
remembering those that have given their lives so that we can be free!
Just loving the weekend to begin summer is here! Camping is my favorite activity with my daughters family. My granddaughter is the delight of the time together, at three years old. We take hikes, stop along the rivers to play in the water, and I love the family time around the campfire and sharing stories of those that have passed on before us. My husband and family all served in the military, so appreciative of them and thankful of their service to our country! Of course, all this summed up with pictures and journaling to scrapbook next week-end is the memories part!
It is a rainy weekend here so I will be staying in, making cards in the rubber room, and maybe getting some knitting done.
I am stamping the weekend away while hubby puts together a gazebo and grill! I’m sure I’ll be making burgers too! Thanks for a fantastic chance to win a great prize package.

When my children were young Memorial Day meant the first camping trip of the season but, now that I’m on my own, this week-end is spent being lazy [which includes paper crafting, of course!!].
Organizing! My stamping and scrapping supplies are everywhere. Spending the weekend getting them into some kind of order so I can enjoy using them.
Spending time with the family & having a backyard BBQ. Taking time to remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Daughter is gone camping so hubby and I are having a date weekend. We will go toa Memorial Day parade on Monday to pay tribute to all our fallen servicemen and women. No stamping till Tuesday and it’s all good:)
My favorite thing to do Memorial Day weekend is to put out the AMERICAN FLAG. Then go shopping for flowering plants to color up the yard since all the spring bulbs are done blooming. We will also get out all our yard ornaments & wind chimes. We love working in our yard & each year try to make our yard colorful.

Love to spend time with my family!
I’ve had two colors of card stock and a complementary color ribbon sitting on my craft table all week — I’m hoping to finally figure out how best to combine them. And do a whole bunch of other crafting. So glad we all have the freedom to do whatever we wish this weekend; thanks to those who provided it. And thanks for such an inspiring site Mary!
Headed to Indianapolis for the 500!!
I just simply enjoy the extra day off to do whatever needs to be done. This weekend….. continuing to move into my new place. I also love the fact that Memorial Day symbolizes the start of summer.
Hi Mary! Definitely stamping!! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome blog candy! Karen D.
The weekend starts by putting the flowers on my parents graves and then a supper out with my grandchildren. We have done this for many years and I hope they will look back and remember our times together. The rest of the week end is stamping and what ever comes up. BBQ will be part of it too.
Over the years we camped with the kids, attended parades and had family cookouts. We honor those who have fought to keep our country free.
Love the 3 x 3’s and thank you for offering a wonderful blog candy.
We are going to be planting flowers, grilling with family and friends and just hanging out. Love your blog Mary, thanks for the chance to win great stuff!!
Cooking out with Family and Friends.
We are celebrating by taking a hike to Allum Arch in The Great Smoky Mountains!

I love spending time with family & friends, but we are supposed to have rain so I’ll be doing a lot of crafting! Have a great weekend! 🙂
My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day is to have a family cook out. I also plan to make a card or two. Thanks, for the opportunity to win your blog candy.
My fave thing to do on the holiday weekend is to spend time with family and friends enjoying their company and lots of good food. We are also heading to a matinee this afternoon. Yeah, a good movie and popcorn.
I am so very excited about the new catalog and can’t wait to order.
Hope you have a great weekend and thanks so much for the chance to win so many great products.
You are the best.
Spend the weekend with friends and family. I also would love to plant some flowers and get seeds for the garden. Planting is alittle behind this spring in Minnesota. Have a great weekend 🙂
I love spending time with my in-laws. I wish we were closer but it’s worth the 400 mile drive.
I’m at that stage in my life where Memorial Day weekend is spent at graduation parties – FUN! (Of course, that meant making lots of grad cards :))
Oops.. Let’s not FORGET the reason…
Just staying at home. I hope to do some crafting. I have graduation and a Father’s Day card to make. Thanks for the chance to win. I have learned so much from your videos.
Used to love camping on memorial day when I lived in Washington and Oregon. Not so much here in central illinois. Will be doing some stamping and eating and enjoying time with the family. And thanking all those who have fought to maintain our freedom.
Graduation party for my son, and then camping! Should be fun 🙂
No solid plans which is nice and relaxing.. Probably spending time with the kids and grandkids – yeah. Also, let’s not remember the real reason for the holiday…Remembering our veterans who have served.
I love the fact that it’s a long weekend for me so I can catch up on a few of my projects….this time it’s a scrapbook and trying out some new cards.
Having a pool party! I love to grill and relax with my husband while our kids and their friends play in the pool!
We do a little stamping, a little eating and a lot of talking and socializing! Hope everyone has a marvelous weekend!
I love getting my annuals planted and fresh mulch put in! If it rains…. The craft room is where you will find me! 🙂
I will be doing some stamping and some grilling, hopefully we’ll have good weather, it’s been a bit cold and rainy lately. Thank you for this awesome blog candy and for the chance to win, it will be a special treat to have those hand made cards you made yesterday, I think I will frame them and hang them in my craft room!! Happy Memorial Day to all!!!
Stamping during the weekend would make it a grand time. Thinking about my new catty order! Thanks, Mary.
My favorite Memorial Day weekend activity is floating in my swimming pool — but, alas, a great big tree fell in my pool during a storm last week — so I’ll get gathering estimates for getting the tree out of my pool! Our local Veterans’ Park always has an emotional Memorial Day service, so we’ll be going to that as well. Thanks to all who have fought to keep us safe.
We love to take family trips on Memorial Day Weekend! Doesn’t really matter where we go as long as we’re all together!
Memorial Day- enjoy just staying home, cooking out with family and relaxing. Usually work everyother holiday so its a treat to have the day off.
What generous blog candy! Thank you for the chance to win. I will be painting, potting and hanging out with my family. Oh, I will also hear the Raleigh Ringers perform Sun. evening. Hope your weekend is great!
What I love to do on Memorial Day weekend is have a big family barbecue with lots of good food. This year, though, it’ll be a little different….rain and more rain. Oh, well, that’ll make it easier to sneak away and work on crafts! 🙂 My other favorite thing about this weekend is the Indy 500. Love watching that race.
Thanks for sharing some great stuff!
Erin
Spending the weekend on Sabbatical, our handcrafted 36′ sailboat….I wonder if I can turn the V berth into a craft room?
We’ll be hanging around the house and working outside. I will be doing some stamping. That is lovely blog candy you are giving away.
The Memorial Day weekend will be spent with family doing cookouts and sharing great memories to scrapbook. Thanks for all your inspiration.

I’ve been named craft director for our Sr. Citizen group so I will be lining up projects to do. Thank the Lord for Stampin’ Up…I’ll be using their products and ideas a lot!
Half will be at home working out side in flowerbeds. I enjoy being out side. We go to a Flea Market and enjoy the out doors and see alot of interesting things! Going to our neighbors and enjoy spending time with them! I have worked on three cards this week and will try and fit in a forth card! Memorial Day as a child met the parade and putting flowers on your loved ones graves! I do have the flowers out:) Remember our vets.
It’s often a great time to play in the garden, to enjoy outdoors either at a cookout or a hike, and to visit family. No matter what, we put our flag out in honor of the people in our family, husband included, who served in the military.
I will be attending two Memorial Day services, one by the VFW and the other by the American Legion Post of which my husband is commander. The two groups take part in each others services. We will be honoring the fallen soldiers of all the wars from the civil war to the present. Then there will be a community picnic sponsored by a local church.
God Bless America!
Sue Nohl

My favorite Memorial Day activity is first and foremost spending time with our family…..and depending on the weather that could include some awesome pool/beach time. And of course always wonderful food!
HI Mary,
My favorite activity for any time is being with my family. For Memorial Day it is the PARADE. The high school band, trying to remember how to march, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scout, smiling and having fun, the old cars, the fire trucks, the horses, and, of course, The Veterans, wearing Poppies, with our beautiful flags being saluted. That’s Memorial Day to me.
Hands down…..stamping! It’s going to rain all weekend anyway, so it’s the perfect chance to get ahead on some card making and scrapbooking!
quiet weekend this year…definately going to get my stampin’ on 🙂
I will be stamping a lot this weekend since it is so cold, wet and still more rain is predicted. Also spending time with family and friends, celebrating what this holiday is truly about! Happy Memorial Day Mary!
Lynn Streifert
My Memorial Day plans are: cleaning(ugh!), gardening, BBQ-ing, grass mowing and then my favorite – attending a local auction. Hoping to fit some stamping time in there as well. Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, Mary! Thanks for this chance to win!
Gardening, biking and swimming! Will do some crafting,too.
Cleaning and playing!
We love to go to the movies and go to a fun restaurant for lunch with friends on Memorial Day. We also like to reflect on those who have served our country so bravely.
Stamping on Monday with some friends, and doing some kid-friendly crafting activity on Monday too – followed by a Potluck BBQ.
I’ll be spending it organizing my crafting room and hopefully getting some stamping done!
Looking forward to partying with my friends and family. Good times, good food -what better way to relax and enjoy life. I guess I better start on my thank-you notes!
Like Deanna said, we also put out our flag and smalls ones around the front of the house. Looking forward to family time and finishing making graduation cards:) Thank you and happy weekend:)
This will be the first Memorial Day that I have off. All others i have worked Can’t wait to have fun in the sun, BBQ for family and friends, and begin a new tradition for my family.

CANDY BLOG on MEMORIAL DAY… WONDERFUL
I usually spend my Memorial wkend. sprucing up my flower gardens, putting color in my yard after a long winter.. BUT this morning I am starting off the day by having COFFEE with my good friend then I’ll go to work on my yard
I love camping and hubby and I used to start the camping season on Memorial weekend, but since his MS has gotten worse, we are unable to do that, so this weekend I plan on making birthday cards for the BRAK on SplitCoastStampers. I also plan on doing some work in the flowerbeds, birdwatching, a little bit of shopping, and just plain relaxing. I notice that I’ve been getting irritated easier and more frequently at work, which is my cue that I’m due for a vacation or just need some relaxing time, so I’m hoping this weekend can fix that as vacation has to wait until September (ugg!).
We live on a lake, so boating is a big part of our weekend. Most excited to spend time with my three baby GRAND daughters!!!!!! Love this gift set and would appreciate an opportunity to win! Happy Memorial Day to everyone! God Bless America!
Spending time with family and friends. This year our family is traveling to Charleston for a cousins wedding. Fun! Taking the new catalog with me to pass the time while we travel.
This year it is visiting a family friend with my mom. My husband has the kids and I get to go visit some wineries today!
My favorite thing to do on Memorial Day. All of the family gets together and have a BBQ. We are a 5 generation family, many of whom are great cooks, the guys being some of the best. I usually gain 5 lbs from the weekend. 🙂
Thanks for a chance to win this fabulous candy and have a great weekend.
Staying at home , enjoying the extra time. Maybe a day trip within an hours driving time.organizing craft room and getting a few cards ready.
Memorial weekend isn’t going to be exactly as I planned because I have to work. However, when I get home, I’m going to make a stash of cards for work. I’ve only got a couple left and there are many birthdays, “birthings,” and a retirement coming up so I better get busy! I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend remembering all the men and women who have given us the freedom to eat that hot dog and stamp that card! I also love your blog candy, so I’m hopin’ I win!!!
Relaxing at home with family. The roads are too crazy to be out on. Also a good day to browse the new catty poolside.
I’ll be stamping for part of the weekend since my demonstrator is holding a class this weekend. Enjoy the holiday and I remind everyone to remember the meaning of this weekend.
Loved your 3×3 cards from yesterday! Will be CASing one of those this morning for my niece. I’m preparing this weekend for back-to-back celebrations at my house next weekend. My daughter’s Confirmation on Saturday, and a combo 80th(2), 75th and 13th birthday celebration on Sunday.
Memorial Day is a day we spend with family and friends enjoying great food and lots of laughs.

The beach!!! Yummy blog candy Mary!
We will be at home this year, enjoying family. There is a chance of a few storms all week-end which might hamper some outdoor fun. We remember all of our men and women who have served,and who are currently serving to keep our freedom.Thank you all, and thank you Mary for the chance to win a wonderful set of goodies!
Traditionally we would go camping, but this year is way to rainy! So we will just enjoy each other and get the BarBQ out, even if we have to do it in the garage.
If the weather improves, we will have a BBQ and spend some time relaxing with family around the fire pit. However, I’ll still make some time to spend in my craft room stamping over the 3 day weekend. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Our neighborhood has Yard Sale that day and believe it or not – it is well attended, despite the holiday. have a nice holiday too.

Memorial Day Weekend is pool opening day at our house and the celebration of granddaughter Natalie’s 10th birthday this year. It’s very chilly here, but I think she’ll dive in anyway. She told me, not long ago, that stamping and scrapbooking is the most fun she’s ever had! Wow.
Staying home and cutting our 4 acres. Have a nice dinner on the grill for my husband and I. Am very thankful for all those who serve/d in the military for our safety.
Weather not so good, but going to enjoy the long weekend, working on stampin up projects for my son’s upcoming wedding and maybe squeeze in a BBQ, doesn’t get better
It will be planting flowers and garden for me. Stamping will have to wait until it rains! Happy Memorial Day

Enjoying time with family and friends.
I have the luxury of an entire Saturday to do swaps for convention…so far away, yet so close too!
Hi Mary, My favorite activity for Memorial day is camping! I love to get away and enjoy time with my family and be in nature! I love the cool crisp mornings, the smell of coffee and bacon permeating our camper! There is nothing like sitting around the campfire in the evening. This memorial weekend, I will not be doing that thought, unfortunately! But I will be working in my craft room!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Staying in town, but will be working in my craft room–in the process of organizing it, but will be working on a birthday card for my daughter.
Pity I do not live in the USA, what a great stamp-set and how nice of you to do a give-away.
We remember on the 4th of May here in the Netherlands.
Wishing you a nice Memorial Day on Monday.
I will be working all weekend long;-( but would love to be making beautiful cards… Maybe after work;-)
Just staying home and hoping to get some crafting done. Thanks for the chance to win!!
