Many thanks to Marcy Peterson for sharing her seats at the GJ Rockies game last night - it was so much fun!  Now today I really should get some more yard work done and then get ready for class tonight.  I need to run some errands too.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers.  The strips of black and white at the top and bottom are washi tape.

Really need to deal with some yard work today - that is if I can motivate myself to go out in the heat.  Maybe I can at least get part of it done.  Need to get ready for class tonight too, but then I will get to go to my first Grand Junction Rockies baseball game - looking forward to that!

Have a wonderful day.

Project Sunday - On the last day of my vacation in southern California I got to go shopping at the new Primitive Gatherings store in Murrieta California. (a quilt shop with lots of wool applique stuff )   What fun!  I could have spent a fortune there, but I kept reminding myself I had to be able to get the stuff in my suitcase!  It was a lovely store and the people were super friendly.  Probably just as well we don't have one closer to home!

Not sure what the plan is for today.  I all of a sudden have a very free day with no commitments....hmmmmm....maybe I'll just read a book and take a nap!

Have a wonderful day!

What's up with the rain?  I wasn't expecting that today.  I thought I was doing pretty well getting stuff ready to leave, but somehow I find that I don't have as much done as I thought.  I had planned on going to a stitching thing this afternoon, but I may have to pass on that.  We'll see - maybe I can be super industrious this morning.   So....I better get busy.

Have a wonderful day!
