Saturday Quote.......(some days it does feel like that 😂)

'Grandma time' today (along with an overnight).  I think Jeff is supposed to be playing golf - hope it stops raining or he might have to make other plans :(   The boys and I will need to make alternate plans too I guess - going downtown might not work!  We'll see!

A few chores this morning and then I'm off to have lunch with a friend.  After that maybe a movie or shopping or....who knows.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is just several layers of card stock.  The flower image is stamped on patterned paper and then colored.  A square die cut was cut in half to make the corner triangles.  

Back from the mountains.  Oh my,  those 60-70 degree temps were so nice!  Now it's back to the 100's - the heat slows me down a bit :)   But it was a wonderful few days, even finished a couple of stitching projects!  Went to a craft show in Lake City, saw lots of beautiful scenery, and even saw a bear close to the cabin!  It was awesome!  Now it's back to a normal (hot) week.  Need to mow the lawn this morning and get some laundry done.  

Have  a wonderful day!

The card - had some time yesterday to play with some new stamps.  These leaves are a lot of fun.  Embossing folder, die cuts and stamps.  The background is embossed.  The leaves are embossed and die cut (patterned paper) and then popped up.  Sentiment is stamped, die cut and popped up.  

And I am off to the mountains this afternoon.  woohoo!  Trading 100 + degree weather for some much cooler - probably in the 60's, low 70's!  I can hardly wait!  So, you won't hear from me again until Friday!  

Have a great week!

Photo Sunday....

Lots to do today.  Leaving for the mountains tomorrow - Yay!  Spending a few days at a friend's cabin and I need to get myself organized today.  Clothes, food, craft projects to work on - all the important stuff one must take :)

Have a great day!

Off to check on a friend's garden while they're out of town.  Then a stop at a Farmer's Market for some fresh veggies.  Then......hmmmm....was hoping my order of new stamps would arrive before today, but no such luck.  Guess I will try to get some stuff organized for my trip to the mountains next week.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - I stamped the trees on a piece of patterned paper and matted the square.  Added a sentiment at the bottom.  Quick and easy!

Have a wonderful day!

Planned on mowing the lawn this morning, forgot to shut off the timer on the sprinklers - oops.  Now I'll have to wait til tonight or tomorrow :(.   Oh well.   Lunch with a friend and then we will be attending a funeral service of a long time friend :(.  Have to pick up Hudson later from his day camp and then pick up Ethan - probably having dinner before they go home.  A happy end to the day!
