Photo Saturday - sunset last week.  I am really going to miss this view from my living room window when I move!

I got a little sidetracked yesterday - had people coming to get stuff I'm getting rid of and the whole afternoon got away from me.  But, boy did I get rid of a lot of stuff!  Woo hoo!   Of course there is still a lot more to get rid of, but it feels good to get a head start!

Have a great day!

The card - chevron stamp and sentiment are from SU.  Colors are white and navy.

Good grief this week has gone by fast!  I did make a little progress on some class projects yesterday - yay!  Still have more to do which I'm going to try and work on today.  It would really be nice to get those done and have them out of the way :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - used the hexagon punch from SU with some patterned paper, added some Prima flowers and a sentiment.  Quick & easy!

Oh my, it's certainly been an interesting few days!  The papers all are signed and delivered, now we wait!  I need to get back to work - time to get class projects done and so I need to focus on that today. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaf stamp is from SU.  Leaves are just stamped in different shades of green - celery, olive and artichoke.  Sentiment is stamped in black, punched out with oval and popped up.

Well, the price on the house has been agreed upon and the contract will be signed today.  Oh my - I wasn't expecting this to happen quite this fast!  Now we have to play a little waiting game because there is another party that has a First Right of Refusal.  Ugh - I'm not so good at the waiting part :)  However, if all goes according to schedule I will be moving in about 6 weeks.  I will just be moving across town to the house we bought when we first got married.  That means downsizing big time!  It's certainly going to be an interesting process.  

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I sponged some kraft and coastal cabana on the background.  The images are stamped with kraft.

Things are getting just a bit crazy around here.  I put my house on the market last week.  The signs went up on Friday, the realtor showed the house on Sunday, I had an offer on Monday - holy cow!  The offer was low so of course there is now a counter-proposal in the works, but the realtor thinks I will be under contract by today or tomorrow.   The idea of moving (just across town)  is scary and exciting and the waiting to make sure everything works out is probably going to drive me nuts!   "One day at a time" is going to have to be my motto for a while :)

Have a super good day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The three flowers in front are cut out and popped up.  Colors are primrose and smoky slate.

Still having issues with my phone and internet - my phone isn't working at all and the internet is off and on.  So frustrating.  But hopefully they will be out to fix it today. 

Having a birthday dinner for Deb's husband Pat tonight.  That will be fun!

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - a fall table runner

Trying to make this quick this morning - I'm having issues with my phone line, which means I also have issues with the internet.   Just hoping I can at least get this posted before I lose the connection.  Had planned on doing some yard work today, but looks like it rained last night so not sure how wet it is out there.  Maybe it will dry out enough I can at least get a little done.

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - the moon going down on Wednesday morning

No work for me today - off for a day of stitching at Laura's. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - more of the gorgeous grunge set from SU.  Colors are indigo, strawberry and smoky slate. 


I have an appointment later this morning and then a trip to the grocery store is a must.   The week has sure gone by fast and I didn't get nearly everything done that I had planned - oh well, there's always next week :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - gorgeous grunge from SU.  I just stamped the image in a rainbow of colors across the white piece and added some ribbon, bling and a sentiment. 

I thought I'd get back to yard work today, but it looks like rain so that plan may not work out.  We'll see.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I sponged a bit of color on the white piece and then stamped the image in espresso.  Colors are brown sugar and white.

I'll have to take a break from pulling weeds today - have to water the lawn.  Guess it's a good day to get some chores done inside.

Have a great day!

The card - celebrate stamp is from SU.  Balloons are Martha Stewart punch.  A really easy one!

Back to the yard work today.  I got the north and east side done yesterday, now it's on to the south side.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flowers were stamped and embossed with white on vellum, then punched out.  Colors are white and pear. 

My poor yard has been so neglected this year.  It's time to get it cleaned up - that's my goal this week.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday -  Judy, it's done!  This one is for Judy's seasonal frame - just finished it yesterday.

Not exactly sure what I'm doing today - it's a 'free' day!  After last week I probably could use a day of r & r - we'll see how ambitious I end up being today :)

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - sunset last Sunday

The Good Time Girls are coming today - and a good time will be had by all :) 

Enjoy your day!

The card - tag die is from Hero Arts.  Strips of color are washi tape.  Flowers are from Prima. 

Not exactly sure what I'm doing today.  I was concentrating on getting through the week and really didn't have a plan for today.  I'm sure I can come up with something.  And of course there's Friday night crafting tonight with Emily. 

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  I inked the stamp and then used a basic gray marker to ink the center.  Colors are kraft, cantaloupe, cabana and basic gray.

Going to try a little multi tasking today - watering the lawn, doing laundry and stamping.  I'm confident I can get it all done and still have time to get ready for class tonight :)

Have a great day!

The card - grid background stamp is from SU - I embossed it in silver.  Hexagon stamp/punch is also from SU.  Added a strip of printed paper and a couple of brads.   Colors are smoky slate and daffodil.

Need to get some chores done around the house today and then get ready for class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - embossing folder is from sizzix - added some pearls, ribbon and a sentiment.  How easy is that?

Busy day - class this morning, then on to Laura's for an afternoon of stitchin' and then back home for class tonight. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white, black and coastal cabana.

The class stuff is done - kits are cut and bagged - yay!  It's going to be a really busy week so I guess I better get myself organized today.  Looking forward to Stamp Club with Deb tonight.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - finished this one last week.  It's rather large and is going in a frame (16 x 20).

Going to try and finish up the class stuff this morning - got a little sidetracked yesterday. Looking forward to an afternoon of stitchin' at Laura's!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - sunset on Tuesday

I must get back to work on class projects today - as soon as I wake up that is.  I woke at 2 am and couldn't get back to sleep til after 4:30am - ugh!  Hate when that happens.  I might not get much accomplished til after I take a nap :)

Have an awesome day!

The card - just strips of washi tape, some bling  and an added sentiment - fun and easy!

It's pretty much going to be a play day today - going to a movie (The Lone Ranger) at noon and then Friday night crafting with Emily tonight.  A 'day off' sounds good to me!

Have a fabulous day!

The card - embossing folder is from Cuttlebug.  Hexagon stamps/punch is from SU.  Colors are raspberry and smoky slate. 

Going to try and get some weeds sprayed this morning if the darn weather cooperates - didn't want to do it yesterday since they were prediciting rain - of course it never did rain.  It's all cloudy and dreary this morning but I'm hoping it will clear up and I can get the job done!  Tonight is our Shoebox Club, but instead of doing cards we're celebrating Alison's birthday.  Fun! 

Have a great day!

The card - not much stamping on this one.  Emobssing folder on the bottom is from Darice.  The leaves are from Papertrey  and then just added some ribbon and flowers.  Colors are white and smoky slate.

Off to the grocery store this morning and then maybe I can get the rest of the class projects done.  I did make some progress on them yesterday, but still have a couple left to do.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images (sentiment and oval)  are from SU. Flowers are from Prima. 
Colors are smoky slate, pear and white.

I'm hoping that today will turn out to be more productive than yesterday - sure didn't get much accomplished, yet it seemed I was busy all day.  The class stuff still needs to be done so that's what I'm going to concentrate on today.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image and matching embossing folder are from SU.  Colors are white and smoky slate.

I thought I'd be able to get some more yard work done today but it sure looks like we're going to get some rain.  I guess maybe I'll revise the plan and work on class projects for next week. 

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - this is a small table mat that I finished this week. 

If the wind stops blowing soon I want to get some weeds sprayed this morning, and then this afternoon I'm going to a friend's to help her with some computer stuff - now that could end up being the blind leading the blind since Windows 8  confuses the heck out of me.  Hopefully, between the two of us we can figure it out!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - the view from my living room window (looking east) - just past sunrise on Monday

I need to get the lawn watered today so I probably won't be able to do much yard work.  I'm hoping to finish up the class projects for next week so that will be out of the way.

Enjoy your day!

The card - background stamp is from SU.  Polka dot piece is washi tape.  Butterfly is Martha Stewart punch.  Colors are daffodil and navy. 

Taking a break from yard work day (whew!)  I need to rest my weary body for a day :) and I really need to get some class stuff done before next week.  (besides it's pretty wet and muddy from the rain we got yesterday, which is a really good excuse!) 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images and border embossing folder are from SU.  Colors are strawberry, pretty in pink, daffodil and pear.

More yard work today - I'm making progress, but still have lots left to do.  I'm on a mission - I'm determined to get it all done this week :)

Enjoy your day!
