Had such a good time yesterday.  It's been way too long since Judy and I had a day of fun!  Thank you Judy for the birthday lunch, the gift and your company for the day - it was great!

Today, I must get started on a whole list of stuff that needs to be done before next week.  Hopefully I can get myself motivated and get lots done!

Have a great day!

The card - tree is from Magenta.  Thought this would make a good 'guy card'.

Stretching the 'birthday month' out just as far as possible - Judy is taking me out for a birthday lunch, then we'll do a little shopping.  It's going to be a fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - circles are from Papertrey Ink, splotches are from SU.  Butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.  Pretty darn easy!

Having lunch with a friend today and then it's home to get ready for class tonight.

'Grandma time' today and then a stitching evening at Hi Fashion.  A full day!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - finished a Bronco hat this week (sorry for the bad picture)

Went to a new pottery shop in Town yesterday.  If you are local and you like painting pottery you need to check out Fat Cat Pottery down on Main Street.  Great place, really nice owners and lots of fun things to work on.  We learned some new techniques (well, new to us anyway) and did some fun projects.  I want to go back soon!

My birthday dinner got postponed the other night, so tonight Jeff & Sara & Hudson are taking me out for a delayed birthday dinner.  Looking forward to it!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - Huntington Beach, California

Not sure what the plan is for today.  If we don't go to the pottery shop I'm going to try and get some stamping done.  Guess I'll just go with the flow!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - love the simplicity of this card.  The top layer is the size of a business card and I just layered it with white a couple of times.  The flower is from SU.

"Grandma time" today - probably won't do much else :)  Looking forward to Friday night crafting - it's been too long!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU.  The matted piece with the flower is popped up.  A simple, but nice layout.

Have a whole list of chores I'd like to get done today and then I'll need to get ready for class tonight.  It's back to real life for sure!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - tree stamp from Magenta, stamped in three different colors and matted on a panel made up of the same three colors.   Added some string and popped the panel up.

Catch up day.  Need to get the laundry done and go to the grocery store.  Looking forward to this evening  - Jeff and Sara are taking me out for a birthday dinner.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background grunge and flowers are from SU.  Added some bling and a sentiment...easy peasy!

Had an easy trip home - no delays and smooth flights - yay!  Sure is hot here though - yikes!
Today is "Grandma time" - I can hardly wait!

Have a terrific day!

The card - an embossed brick background with some printed paper and a little added bling.  Super easy.

Got sidetracked yesterday and forgot to post so this Father's Day card is a little late....... sorry about that!  We had a marvelous day with my cousins - always love spending time with them.  Today is travel day - heading back home to Colorado and anxious to see my grandson after 10 days!  

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday -  our last day in Bakersfield - going to miss these little munchkins!

Have a great day!

The card - watercolor background is from SU, stamped with kraft.   Tree is from Magenta, stamped with black.  White background piece is embossed with embossing folder from SU.

Off to the children's museum this morning, a stop at the icrecream parlor, home for naps and then out to dinner tonight.  More fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Another fun day coming up - not really sure of our exact plans, but the boys will keep us entertained I'm sure!

No finished projects this week.....just another cute baby photo!

We're in Bakersfield - we'll be here the rest of the week playing with a 4 year old and an almost 2 year old.  It's going to be great fun!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Jeff took some family selfies last week......love my son & his family!!!!

Off to Bakersfield this morning.  Not exactly a hot spot - well, actually I guess it is pretty 'hot' but it will be a fun week with my cousin's grandsons!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a little grunge in the background (SU & Papertrey Ink) with a punched butterfly (Martha Stewart) an added sentiment and some bling.  Pretty darn easy!

Here in sunny California - which is not sunny at all. Doing the June gloom thing I guess.  It's not even all that warm! But, who cares!  We're off to meet Marleen's friends to go for a walk, then we're headed to the beach for lunch and shopping!

Have a great day!

The card - some fun grunge in different colors, plus a die cut (happy) and sentiment - all from Hero Arts.

And I'm off....to California!  Going to spend the next 10 days with my cousin in southern California.  We will be spending most of the time in Bakersfield having fun with her grandsons for a week.  But I'm sure there will be a little time for the beach too .....

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more printed paper - added some twine and some bling and an embossed background.  Too easy!

I guess I am totally losing it.  When I went to do this post I realized I completely forgot to do a post yesterday.  Good grief!  Sorry about that!  Lots of stuff on my mind, so I'm not surprised, but still.......    Leaving for California tomorrow, so have things to get done today.  And I have Hudson today, and class tonight, so chores are going to get worked on in between everything else.

Have a terrific day!

The card - a little grunge in the background,  some printed paper and a butterfly stamp/punch (from SU).  Easy!

Keeping Hudson today so not expecting to get a lot done.  I will work on a few things here and there while he is napping (if I don't get sucked into HGTV - ha!ha!)  I really do need to make the most of my time since I am leaving for California on Thursday and there are things I need to get done before I leave :)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - finished another hat this week.  (sorry about the bad picture)  Same pattern as last one, just a different yarn - but I like the variegated look.

Got a start on the chores yesterday, but ran out of energy before I finished.  Need to get out and put some fertilizer on the lawn this morning and trim some bushes before it gets too hot!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - another Hudson photo

Whew - have a ton of errands and chores to get done this weekend.  Baby time is much more fun, but I don't seem to get much done when he is around - which is very much ok.  But, there are things that need to be done so I guess I better get to it!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I added some black twine to the small panel and then popped the panel up.

What a great beginning to my birthday month - wow!  My friend Celisa's husband made the main dish for dinner last night - oh so yummy.  And there was a great salad and fresh bread and yummy cupcakes for dessert.  And some awesome gifts - wow - it was an awesome night!  I have the best friends!

No plans for today except for Grandma time.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting.

Have a terrific day!

The card - I don't think this is one of my favorites, but it's a little different so we'll just go with it!  I stamped some grunge on the background of the small panel in different colors and then just stamped a flower outline over the top.  The sentiment and the grunge on the card background are also stamped with black.

Hudson and I are going to be out and about for a bit today.  Going to do a errand then off to visit my cousin who hasn't seen Hudson yet.  And....it's June.....and that means it's my birthday month!  And tonight is the first birthday celebration - yay!  Tonight is our Shoebox Club and we're celebrating my birthday - fun stuff!

Have a great day!

The card - some more printed paper - this stuff is just so cool, especially for masculine cards.  It comes from a company called Pion Design and I got it locally at Seasons to Follow.

OMG I'm becoming addicted to daytime TV - especially HGTV.  Oh no!  I'm not much of a tv watcher to begin with, but I NEVER watch daytime tv.  I found myself watching Fixer Upper while I gave Hudson a bottle, then I just sat and watched it the rest of the day......now that is not good!

Have a great day!
