Just a friendly little

greeting to wish you

Happy Trick or Treating!

Project Sunday - Block of the month

Hmmm....lots of things to do, just don't know where to start.  I still need to do a lot of work on my 'house project' and it's time to get class project s done for next month.  I need to get motivated!

Have a great day!

Oh my, I have no plan for the day.  Oh my, I don't get much done when I don't have a plan.  Oh my, there's plenty to do, I just need to figure out where to start.  Or take a nap, or read a book.......

Have a great day!

The card - another simple one with  the acorns from SU.  I added a little grunge on the background piece before I embossed it!  The acorns are popped up.

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Having fun with patterned paper!  

Must get the house cleaned up a bit today - have company coming for dinner!   The football game last night was a close one - our team lost by 4 points in the last few seconds!  Now it's on to the next sport which I think is basketball - oh yeah, a closed in gym and sweaty middle school boys - hmmm!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I used some grunge stamps in the bakcground and added a strip of washi tape close to the bottom.  The leaves are stamped, sponged a little on the edges, die cut and popped up on the card.

My 'house project' is still under way.  I am turning the guest room into Hudson's room (got to have a place for all that baby stuff) which means the guest room ended up being where my office/wool room was and now the stamp room/class room is also the wool room.  Yep,  seems like I'm moving half the house around.  I think it's all going to work though - as soon as I get everything organized!  So, that's what I've been working on....and will be working on for the near future.

Tonight it's time for the middle school football Super Bowl - so excited.

Have a great day!

The card - can't get much easier than this - it's a piece of printed paper and I stamped the 'spooky' above the fence!

I have a whole list of errands I had planned on doing today - however, since it's raining I may change my plans and save the errands for another day.  Still working on the 'house project' so it's back to that - and I need to get it cleaned up since I also have class tonight!

Have a terrific day!


Please remember - if you have a question about a card please send an e-mail to scrapandstampgj@aol.com.  (I have no way to respond if you leave the question in a comment) 

The card - one of my favorites - some die cut leaves, a brick embossed background (Tim Holtz), some string and a couple of banners.  Easy, but nice.

"Grandma time' today.  Hoping it's nice so we can take a walk and maybe go to the park.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - my October Block of the Month.

Back to work on my 'house project'.  I barely got started yesterday, but as usual when I am working on something my entire house is one big mess.  Hopefully I can restore some order today.   Oh, and the boys won their football game yesterday, so it's on to the Super Bowl on Wednesday - yay!

Have a wonderful day.

Off to another middle school football game.  This is the playoff and they are undefeated at this point.  If they win today they get to go to the Super Bowl next week.  How exciting is that!  Then it's back home and time to get started on a project in the house....more about that later.

Have a great day!

The card - just a random arrangement of flowers and some background grunge.  All stamped images are from SU.

Hudson at 7 months - he's growing so fast!

It's been quite a week.  Yesterday was filled with memories, but they were mostly nice feel good memories and the comments and support from so many people were so special and appreciated.  But it was also a day filled with laughter and good times because I spent it with my friend Eileen!  All is good.

Off on an adventure today - my friend Eileen and I are headed to Cedaredge for the AppleFest celebration.  There's always lots of crafty  booths and great food, so it should be a fun day!  Then when I get home I'm making dinner for some out of town relatives that just be here over night.  I haven't seen them for several years so it will be good to catch up!
