Saturday Quote.......(don't I wish!)

Off to the grocery store this morning.  My frig is empty and I need to take soup and snacks to church tomorrow.  So, time to brave the cold and do some shopping.  I started a little cleaning out and reorganizing in the stamp room yesterday and I really need to get back to it today!  That's my plan anyway (always subject to change :).

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  Smaller panel is embossed.  Leafy stems are die cut. and popped up.  Sentiment piece is die cut and popped up.  Add some twine and some tiny butterflies.

Haven't quite decided yet what I'm doing today.  Lots of options and it's still really early.  But I'll figure it out soon (hopefully!)  :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is pieces of patterned paper.  Sentiment piece is stamped, die cut and popped up.  Add some ribbon.  Super simple. 

Oops, I forgot to post this morning before I left for my volunteer job at the gift shop.   I got a note from a friend that was out there while her brother was in surgery, so I left earlier than normal to spend some time with her.  Now I'm home, have had my lunch and trying to figure out what to do next.  Think I'll see if I can get some more cards made so I'm off to the stamp room!

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed.  The leafy image is stamped and then die cut.  Add a sentiment and some bling.

I have 3 different project I'm working on - knitting, a basket and of course there's always cards to make.  I may just do a little of each today.   

Have a great day!

The card - background is pieces of patterned paper.  the leafy stem, the word 'because' and the scalloped circle are all die cut.  The sentiment piece is stamped, die cut and then popped up.  Add some twine and a bit of bling.

Time to do some cleaning this morning.  I've been a bit lax about it lately so I think it's time to do a better job today :).   Then I can relax and enjoy an afternoon with the Needle Keepers!   

Not so good stuff......I lost my car keys at Canyon View Park yesterday!   If you are local and happen to be at the play area, keep your eyes out for a car key would ya?  So frustrating.  Luckily Jeff got my spare key from my house so we got home ok and I still have a key for my car, but the one I lost has the fob on it to lock the doors, etc.  (the expensive part to replace, naturally!)  We looked for over an hour and never did find them - so frustrating.  But, Ethan and I had a fun day anyway, so just something else to deal with!  

Have a wonderful day!
