The card - stamped images and background embossing folder are from SU.  A simple layout, but kind of fun.

Ah....a free day.  Oh my, what will I do with myself?  I do need to finish up some paper work from yesterday's party (it was a great party and it was fun meeting some new people!) but the rest of my day is free for.......maybe some stitching, or knitting, or stamping ?????  We'll see.

Have a great day!

The card - one last 'winter card'.  Embossed snowflake and mittens are from SU.  The mittens are popped up.

I have a 31 Party in Hotchkiss today, which is an hour away.  So, that will take up most of my day.  Looking forward to meeting some new people and getting them excited about 31 bags!

Have a terrific day!

The card - just a simple one using this new flower set from SU.  It's a fun one!

'Grandma time' today.  (and yes, I did have him for several hours yesterday )  We're on our way this morning to our first 'Kindermusic' class.  We'll see if this old Grandma can keep up :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a wall hanging I made for a birthday gift.

I ended up with an unexpected afternoon with Hudson yesterday so didn't get any of the things done that I had planned on - and that is entirely ok.  I did finish a wool project last night and started binge watching a new series that a friend loaned me, so all is good!   Today I may have Hudson again for the afternoon, so haven't really made any other plans....I'm good with that :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - a simple birthday card - small flower is from, sentiment is from Paper Trey.

'Grandma time' today.  Friday night crafting tonight - celebrating Emily's birthday - woo hoo - fun times!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images and the background embossing folder are from SU.  ( I just realized I should have masked the sun before stamping the mountains...just a note if you do this one!)  This would make a good 'guy card'.

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at Inspirations and then I have friends coming tonight so I can get them started on stitching (sharing the love.....)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU.  A simple card - embossed background and a matted smaller panel.  The sentiment is popped up.

Time for a little house cleaning today - can't remember last time the house was cleaned, so it must be time!  That's my goal for the day!

Have a great day!

The card - love this new set from SU.  A fun, watercolor look.  

Ended up with Hudson yesterday and then had him overnight - yay!  Fun, as always.  I just dropped him at the babysitters, so now I need to try and get something accomplished I guess.  Too many things to do, don't know where to start :)

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp and embossing folder are from SU.  Had fun playing with this flower set!

Not sure what the plans are for the day....haven't heard from Sara yet this morning.   Think I'll work on some stitching stuff if I don't have Hudson today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - flowers from Altenew, colored with Copics.  The black dotted strip at the bottom is washi tape.

Not sure what the plan is for today.  Haven't heard from Sara so I'm not sure if she is working today, so don't know if I will have Hudson or not!    I think I will plan on getting some things ready to stitch while I am 'on call'.

Have a terrific day!

The card - sorry about the shadow...the scanner doesn't like bling :(   Just another simple winter snowflake.  The background is a corner embossing folder and I just added a die cut snowflake and then a punched smaller snowflake on top.  

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at the new quilt store Inspirations.  It was a fun group last week so it should be an enjoyable afternoon!

Have a terrific day!

Wednesday, January 17, 2018


The card - another little break from snowflakes.  The grunge background and the flower are both from Altenew.  I colored the flower with copics.

One little appointment this afternoon - hmmm...maybe I can get the chores done today.  Or not!   We'll see how motivated I am after a little more caffeine.

Have a great day!

The card - a snowflake border die cut from SU.  I should have put some bling in the center of the snowflakes :)  

Yesterday didn't end up quite as planned, as Sara got called into work and I ended up with Hudson after all.  We spent some time with his other Grandma and had a fun day!  But, the chores I had planned on doing certainly didn't get done - I may be able to get a few done this morning, but will be spending the afternoon at Hi Fashion stitching (more fun anyway!)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - super simple - I embossed the panel of cardstock and then cut it into three equal strips.  Added some bling and a sentiment.  Easy peasy!

No little one today - lots of plans for getting some chores done.  We'll see how that works out :)

Have a wonderful day!

I want to get some stitching projects ready to work on, so that is my goal for today before Hudson gets here for an overnight 'Grandma time'.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just a cute snowman.......

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  We're celebrating Deb's birthday tonight  so that will be fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Thursday, January 11, 2018



The card - more snowflakes.  I just added some popped up, punched snowflakes to the embossed snowflake background.  An added sentiment, some ribbon and a little bling were finishing touches.

Need to do a little housework this morning and then I'm off for an afternoon of stitching.  A new group starting today at the new quilt store, Inspirations.  Looking forward to a new experience!  Then tonight we are celebrating birthdays at our Shoebox Club.  A fun day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - a little break from snowflakes and winter stuff (although I still have more)  The flowers are from Altenew and I used Copics to color them.  I used some miscellaneous grunge stamps on the background.

Off to Montrose for my knitting class this morning.  The store has moved into a new building so I am anxious to see the new place! Then it's back home (it's an hour drive each way) and maybe a nap, but then I need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - what's not to love about this snowflake die cut and this cute little snowman?

Class this morning and then I need to get some chores done because the rest of my week is busy, busy, busy!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - an embossed snowflake with some added mittens.  The mittens are a SU punch (an old one) and they are popped up with some added string.

'Grandma time' today, knitting at The Craft Studio tonight.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a wall hanging that I made for Christmas gfits.

Time to clean up the mess I made yesterday - I am a terribly messy stamper!  But I got quite a lot done so that felt good!  Now I need to get the class stuff cut and bagged and  ready for class this week!

Have a great day!

The card - an embossed background with an added snow scene and a sentiment.  Can't get much easier.

The card - snowflakes stamped on a small panel with an added sentiment, some ribbon, some bling and an embossed background.  Easy Peasy.

Working on getting applique pieces put together and ready to stitch.  Sure have a lot of projects I want to do!  Haircut today too.  It's nice to have a few days with no outside commitments :)

Have a great day!

Tuesday, January 2, 2018

The card - used another new die cut I just got.  (can you tell I'm trying to get Thank you cards done?)  It's a simple card, just the die cut, a sentiment and some ribbon, but rather elegant. 

Whew!  Have to say I'm rather glad the holidays are over.  I had a wonderful time and loved every minute, but I'm ready for some 'regular' life!  I have one goal for this coming year and that is to 'FOCUS"!  I haven't done well at that for the last couple of years, which was only to be expected, but I'm feeling the need to be a little more in control and I have a lot of things I want to accomplish (crafty things mostly!)  So, today I must focus and get started on a long list of things I want to get done!  (or at least make a plan!)

Hope you all had a super great holiday season!

Have a wonderful day!
