Have a safe and fun New Year's Eve.

The card - chevrons and some bling.  Colors are smoky slate and white.

I've discovered that hanging out with sick people is not good for your health!  Most of Sara's family got sick towards the end of our visit and it seems they passed it on to me.  Ugh!  Have too much to do to feel this bad.  Can only hope it doesn't last long.

Have a great day!

We didn't do any sight-seeing while we were gone, but we did go to John Fielder's Art Gallery to see Jeff's photo hanging on the wall.  Pretty impressive.  

I guess it's time to get back to the real world now.  I'm hoping to work up the ambition to get the Christmas stuff taken down - we'll see.  At least I will get the laundry done and watch a little football - Go Broncos!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - Christmas lights

Oops - forgot to set the early morning time on this post!

Just got home - had a wonderful week.  Sara's family is delightful.  Off to unpack.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU, plus a little washi tape.  Colors are navy and white.

Enyoing the holidays in Denver.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - snowflake punches from Martha Stewart - colors are baja and white.

Pre-posting  just in case - hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.

Have a great day!

Wishing you a

 Merry Christmas

and a 

New Year filled with

Peace, love & joy!

The card - a glittery star, some ribbon and a sentiment.   (oops, can't believe I didn't notice the ribbon was crooked when I took the picture!)

Time to get the suitcase packed - we'll be leaving for Denver around noon to spend Christmas with my daughter-in-law's family.  A new adventure for me!

Have a wonderful day and enjoy your Christmas Eve festivities.

The card - I used SU's hexagon punch with some patterned paper, added a sentiment and some ribbon.  Colors are artichoke and vanilla.

Time to get ready for the trip to Denver - just have a bit of laundry to do and a couple of gifts to wrap and I think I will be good to go.

Enjoy your day!

Brrr...still cold here - and we got a bit more snow yesterday - these icicles on the edge of my roof just keep getting longer and longer!

Think I'm taking a break today - nothing pressing that needs to be done so I'm going to watch the football game - Go Broncos! - and just relax.

Have a great day!

Since we are going to be in Denver with Sara's family next week for Christmas Jeff & I decided we'd do our family Christmas before we left.  So, we're doing dinner and opening gifts today.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - embossed background - tree is from SU.  Added some bling and ribbon.  Colors are white and baja.

A trip to the grocery store and then I need to get presents wrapped.  Looking forward to a nice relaxing craft night with Emily!

Enjoy your day!

The card - SU's hexagon punch fit the hexagons on this printed paper just perfectly so I just punched them out and added a couple of snowflakes and some bling.  Colors are kraft, artichoke and white.

A Christmas get-together here tonight so that means I need to get my house in some sort of order and make some spinach dip (it's potluck so I won't be cooking all day!)  Looking forward to a fun evening.

Have a great day!

The card - can't get much simpler than this - washi tape, twine and a sentiment.  

Stuck at home today - Jeff's truck is in the shop so he borrowed my car for a day or two.  Funny how I had no plans to go anywhere, but now that I don't have a car I want to go somewhere - lol!  But it's a good day to get some peanut brittle made so that will be my goal for the day.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - tree is from SU - stamped with kraft on vanilla - added a sentiment and some kraft ribbon.

Spent the entire day yesterday shopping - oh my - it's been so long since I've been to any stores except Lowes and Home Depot that I was just having way too much fun!  But most of my gift shopping is done - have just a couple of small things left to get - yay!  Today I'm going to stay home and try to get the laundry done and a box ready to ship.

Enjoy your day!

The card - embossed panel, holly die cuts, some bling and a sentiment.  Another super easy one.

Feeling much better thank goodness!  Whew - don't have time to be sick, way too much to do this week!  I was really bummed that I missed out on Laura's entire stitching event though.  I was feeling a bit better by yesterday so I did manage to get my Christmas letter done and in the mail.  Now it's time to get some shopping done - so I guess I will brave the cold today and hope the crowds are not too bad!

Have a great day!

 A little more before and after:  the living room

Before:  the original window (from 1954), carpet that was at least 20 years old, screen door falling apart, the wall on the right is bright green

After:  new window - new door - new floor.  It's small, but functional.  The tv was a biggie for me, as the one I had was probably 30 years old - an old console tv.   This was another room that got downsized big time - I had to get rid of a big coffee table, plus a love seat and recliner that matched the sofa.  But it's what I call 'cozy' and works just fine for me!

Feeling a bit better this morning - have slept for most of the last 24 hours - good grief!  I hope I can work up enough energy to go to Laura's stitching thing for at least a little while today.  Really hate to miss the whole event!

Have a great day!

The card - tree is from SU, stamped with artichoke and then added some bling.  White piece across the bottom is torn and then I added the sentiment and some ribbon. Colors are white, cherry cobbler and artichoke. Yep, another easy one.

Supposed to be going to an all day stiching thing today - however, I've been up half the night with some kind of stomach thing going on  yuk!  I feel really crappy, so it looks like I might have to miss the class this morning.  Darn it anyway!  Hopefully I will recover by this afternoon and can carry on with my day!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - a little grunge, some washi tape, some bling and an ornament punch.  Yep, another easy one.  Card is white, embossed strip is kraft.

Having computer issues this morning - yuk - I hate when that happens.  Darn thing didn't want to start, then it went through this whole thing about repairing the problem, but low and behold, then it said it couldn't repair the problem.  Good grief!  Anyway, off to get a haircut this morning and then I will need to get home and get the mess cleaned up from last night and get ready for our Shoebox Christmas get together.  Another fun evening!

Have a great day!
