Saturday Quote.......

Slow start this morning :)  But we've already gone to the donut shop for breakfast so we're off to a great start!  Next up is the movie theater which means popcorn and candy for lunch!  I am such a good influence - lol!  But, isn't that what grandma is for?  Gotta have a  little fun!  We're just going to enjoy the day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background panels are patterned paper.  Leafy stem and wood piece are die cut.  Add a stamped, die cut sentiment.

A few chores this morning and then I'm picking up the boys and they'll be spending the night! Yay!  It's been awhile since we've had an overnight, so I'm looking forward to a fun night!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed.  Leafy image is stamped with the center part die cut and a piece of solid cardstock placed behind.  The panel is then popped up on 2 larger mats.

Off to PT this morning (nothing major, the Dr just thought it might help with some arthritis pain - just regular old age stuff :).    Then my goal is to get the garage cleaned up today - it's quite the mess since I never actually put the winter decor away, it just got dumped out there.  So.......that's the plan for today.  Hopefully I'll have enough ambition left to go craft with friends tonight at Craft Addict.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background has a strip of patterned paper down the center.  The flower and leaves are die cut from washi tape.  (the washi tape is added to a piece of card stock before die cutting).  Add a stamped sentiment at the bottom.

A regular Tuesday - a few chores this morning and then a nice relaxing afternoon with the Needle Keepers.

Project Sunday - I've been pretty productive the last couple of days!  I finished a pair of socks that Hudson asked for quite some time ago, finished a basket for a friend's granddaughter and made some St Patrick's day cards.  I'm on a roll!

No big plans for today.  Church this morning and then ?   I need to decide what my next knitting project will be I guess - maybe I can get started on something new!!

Have a wonderful day!

I have an unexpected free day.  Hmmmm.....no clue what I'm going to do.  Plenty of things I can do,  just need to pick one :)  A trip to the grocery store (because I'm still making family dinner) and then I'll figure out a plan for the day.  Going to miss my helper today!  (it's a holiday, no school, no work so the boys are staying home).

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - finished another basket this week!  I'm addicted!  If you are local and interested in learning how to make these baskets I will be helping teach a class at Craft Addict in April.  Come join us!

Church later this morning and then ?  Haven't made a plan yet.  I finished up the class projects so I may just take an r & r day - maybe watch a movie and maybe even a nap :)

The family has all been dealing with some flu-like virus.  The boys dealt with it over the weekend and then Jeff & I both ended up with it this week.  Ethan had a bit of a relapse on Wednesday night so couldn't go to school yesterday so he spent the day with me.  We had a 'lay on the couch and watch TV' most of the day :)   We did get out later in the afternoon and went to the park for some fresh air.  Today I'm home and not feeling too ambitious but since it's a free day I guess it doesn't matter.  I may head out to the stamp room and maybe I can be sort of productive:)
