The card - printed paper from SU makes this an easy one to put together.  I added a sentiment on a flagged piece of white, some ribbon and a little texture with an embossing folder.  Easy peasy!

Our friend Sherry arrived safe and sound last night.  My first guest in this house - yay!  Now the fun begins.  Sherry will be going to work for a while today, then we will meet up with Emily and Deb for dinner and Friday night crafting.  Woo hoo!  It's been a while since we've all been together and we've all been looking forward to this weekend.  While Sherry is off at work I'm hoping to get a little more work done in the stamp room/classroom.  It looks a little overwhelming.......might take me a few days!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from Paper Inspiration.  I inked the stamp with markers - daffodil and pear.  The strip at the bottom is washi tape.   Pretty darn easy.

No play-day yesterday.  We decided to wait 'til next week.  So, I decided to start on getting some stuff organized in the stamp room/classroom.  Oh my - turned out to be a bigger project than I imagined and now the whole room is a big mess.  Good thing I don't have a class until Tuesday - it will take me that long to get it back together.  No time to work on it today though - have to get some chores done this morning, go to a stitching class this afternoon and then........our friend Sherry is finally going to make it over for a weekend visit.  Yay!  She will be arriving tonight - we're all very excited!  It's going to be a fun weekend.

Have a super fantastic day.

The card - stamped flower and strips of paper are  from SU.  The flower circle is popped up.  An easy one!

I think today is supposed to be a play day - at least I sort of remember talk of going to lunch or something.  I guess I will have to talk to my partner-in-crime to find out if it's going to be a fun play day or if I have to stay home and do something constructive.

Have a fabulous day!

The card - flowers are from SU, stamped in kraft on white, punched out and popped up on the square panel.  

They are delivering my new dining room table today - woo hoo! I had to lower my expectations a bit from what I originally was looking for, but Judy S helped me make a decision on Friday.  So, now I will have a real table instead of a card table in the dining room.

Enjoy your day!

The card - background stamp, splotches and flowers are from SU.  Sentiment is a new one I picked up at Hobby Lobby the other day.  Background is stamped with kraft, splotches are pistachio and flowers are cantaloupe.

Not sure where to start today.  Hmmm......better make a plan or I won't get anything done.  Looking forward to dinner with Jeff & Sara tonight!

Have a great day.

A little more before and after:  the guest room

Before:  This is the smallest bedroom - just enough room for a bed and not much else, but it will work fine for a guest room.

After:  a bit of a hodgepodge of stuff.  The stands by the bed are very old stands that belonged to my grandparents at one time - they don't match, but what the heck, they work for sitting lamps on :)









The closet in this room is really small, almost the same size as the hall closet and has never had a door on it.  So, I added the bench and some ribbed paneling, a shelf with a little decoration and a clothes rod just in case guests have clothes that need to be hung up.    The round table in the corner is another piece that belonged to my grandmother.

Photo Saturday - reminds me of a Charlie Brown tree :)

It's going to be a stamping day - yay!  Judy S is coming over and we are going to be really productive - I'm thinking positive here!

Have a terrific day.

The card - background stamp is from Hero Arts, flower stamp and sentiment are from SU.  Colors are soft sky and white,

Not sure what the plan is for the day.   Looking forward to dinner and an evening of stitching with Deb and Emily though.

Have a great day!

The card - printed paper and stamped image are from SU.  The image is stamped in black and then colored just a bit using a blender pen.

The secretary at church called me several weeks ago and said they were running out of birthday cards - oh oh.  I meant to get some put together before this, but somehow it just hasn't happened.  So, that's my goal for today.  Hopefully I can keep the mess at a minimum so I won't have too much cleaning up to do before class tonight :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I stamped the image in black and colored it with markers.  The background embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby.

Off for a full day of stitching - Little Ewe's group today.  I do need to get a couple of things ready so I guess I should get to it!

Have a great day!

The card - printed paper and stamped images are from SU.  Colors are smoky slate, indigo and gumball.

Oh my, a day with no commitments!  Good grief, what will I do with myself?  I do have to call and see about getting a couple of appointments - I'm hoping to work at least one of them in today.  Other than that I guess I better figure out something to work on tomorrow - we have a full day of stitching coming up.  And of course there is stamping that needs to be done.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the flower a couple of times in black on bermuda bay cardstock and then cut it out and layered it.  

Have some odds and ends of things to get done today, then I will get ready for class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - this is a project I had finished stitching several months ago but just hadn't gotten around to putting it in a frame.  I finally got it in the frame so I could hang it on the wall :)

Whew - the paper work is all done!  Yay!  Now I can get back to the fun stuff - stitching and stamping!

Have a fabulous day!

Photo Saturday - Colorado scenery

I'm hoping to finish up the paper work today - it seems to be taking me longer than usual - there's either more of it, or I'm just getting slower :)

Have a super day!

Happy Valentine's Day

and

Happy Anniversary to 

Bob & Judy

Jerry & Celisa

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I stamped the image in black and colored with copics.  The card is white with daffodil accents.

I got part of the laundry done yesterday and got a start on the paper work.  Not quite as productive as I had hoped.  So, I need to work on both of those things again today, plus figure out a project for Shoebox tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - a little grunge (from SU), some washi tape, punched hearts and twine.  Colors are real red and white.

Laundry, paper work and then class tonight - that's on my to-do list for today.

Enjoy your day!

The card - the printed paper is from SU - I cut a couple of flowers from the paper and popped them up and added a sentiment and some ribbon.  Easy!  Colors are indigo and gumball green.

Full day today - class this morning and again tonight.  Maybe I can work up the energy to go do a few errands in between.

Have a great day!

The card - embossing folder used for background is from SU.   Added some punched hearts and ribbon.  Colors are real red and white.

Have to finish up the class projects today and then get the room cleaned up for stamp club tonight with Deb.  It's going to be a busy week!

Enjoy your day

Project Sunday - a finished wool project - yay!  This is a table runner that I just finished.  I reduced the original pattern just a bit because I wanted to use it on my dining room hutch and it was a bit too big.  

Meeting Deb for breakfast and then we'll be joining the Black Sheep group for a full day of stitching.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - a snowy day on the Colorado National Monument

The Good Time Girls are coming today - yay!  It's always a fun day when they are here!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Strips of color are washi tape.

My original plans for the day have changed a bit - our friend Sherry was supposed to arrive today for a weekend visit but, because of the snow in the mountains she decided to postpone her trip for another time.  Bummer!  So, instead of some last minute preparations for her arrival I guess I better try and get some work done on class projects.

Enjoy your day.

The card - heart stamp is from Hero Arts.  I stamped it in black and then colored just the flower.  Colors are white, black and red.

A little stitching time today - Emily and I will be at the Wool Gatherer's group at Hi Fashion this afternoon.  It will be a nice break.  It was nice to see some sunshine yesterday but we're supposed to get more snow today and tomorrow - it would be nice if the weather prediction turned out to be wrong :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images and paper are from SU.  Colors are indigo and gumball green.

I never did get around to working on class stuff yesterday - I got sidetracked doing some odds and ends around the house and the entire day got away from me.  Not good!  I'm going to try and get a bit done this morning, then I'm going to a movie this afternoon with Judy D.  (if the weather isn't too bad).  We're supposed to get a bit of a break with the snow today, but then they're saying there is more coming on Thursday and Friday - ugh!

Have a great day!

The card - a little love today.  Strips are washi tape, punched hearts and some bling.  Easy peasy.

Snow, snow, and more snow.  It snowed a lot yesterday, but nothing was sticking to the ground.  Now it's sticking - there's at least 3 inches of the white stuff and it's still snowing.  Ugh!  Glad I went and did a few errands yesterday so I don't have to go anywhere today - good day to get some more work done on class projects :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the stamp is a really old one that happened to be in my flower collection so I decided to use it!  The colors are saffron, black and white.

Oh my, yesterday was definitely not a good day for Bronco fans.  But now it's time to move on.....I have got to get class projects done this week so that is going to be my focus today.

Have a great day!

It's Party Time!

Super Bowl Sunday

GO BRONCOS!

The hall closet - this was just an ordinary coat closet in the hallway - took the door off, added some ribbed paneling on the back, a bench, some hooks and a shelf and presto - a mini mud room.  

Hard to believe it's the first of February - but now it's another month closer to spring!  I didn't think the snow would ever stop yesterday - it snowed for close to 30 hours. Luckily it warmed up a bit so it was melting and not accumulating as much-  thank goodness.  Have so many things to get done this coming week that I guess I better figure out where to start and try to accomplish something today :)

Have a wonderful day!
