The card - script background is from Penny Black, flower image is from Paper Inspirations.  Scallop rectangle is nestabilities.  Colors are white, kraft, limeade and calypso coral.

I'm going to get out and do some yard work before it gets too hot this morning.  Then I'll move indoors and get started printing and cutting wedding programs.  Just another exciting day.....

Have a great day!

hmmmm....today.....I have so many things to do that I'm not sure where to start this morning.  But I have some cleaning up to do from the 'paint the stairs' project and laundry to finish and yard work to do and wedding programs to print and put together.  Oh, and class tonight too.  Plenty to keep me busy. 

Enjoy your day!

The card -  I printed the images on this card using SU's MDS, then cut them apart and layered them on the card.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts and was stamped in black. 

Last night's rain made me consider a change in plans for today.  It's a bit too muddy and wet for yard work so I guess I will get some errands done and then get ready for tonight's class. 

Have a great day!

My plan was to get some more yard work done this morning, but I've decided I need a bit of a break from pulling weeds.  So I'm going to try and get my stamp room cleaned up today - a bit of a 'need to' thing since Deb & Sherry will be here tonight to stamp.  (and at this point there's not even a tiny bit of empty table space). 

Have a great day!

Have a great day!

A productive day yesterday - the class projects are done!  And the rehearsal dinner invites are done and ready to put in the mail!  Woo hoo!  Now on to getting some stuff organized in the house.

Photo Saturday - the photo doesn't do this justice, but these clouds were so big and fluffly I couldn't resist taking a picture.

Ahhhh.....taking a break from the whole shed thing today.  The cleaning out is all done but Jeff is working on putting up some wire in there to try and keep the birds out.  Today I'm going to try and get some stamping done - gosh, it's been two weeks since I've done any stamping so it's time!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - I love these Martha Washington geraniums and I buy a different one each year for my patio - I think this one has been my favorite so far.

Whew - I'm rather tired!  But after two full days of physical labor (and 5 trips to the dump!) the shed is almost done (the open part anyway - the enclosed part will have to wait for another day)  It's probably cleaner than it's been in 40 years - now if I can just find a way to keep the darn birds out of there!   Anyone know of a good way to get rid of pigeons???

Have a great day!

What I hoped was going to be a one day job has turned into at least a two-day job!  We made a lot of progress yesterday on the shed but still have quite a bit to do.  So, it's back to work on that today.  We're celebrating a friend's birthday tonight so at least I have something fun to look forward to. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are wisteria, celery and white.

My son decided today would be the day we cleaned out the mess in the shed in back of the house.  Ugh - that was really not in my plans for the day, but I've been wanting to get it done for so long that I was not going to take a chance that he would change his mind if I tried to change it to another day.  Hopefully we can get it all done in one day!

Have a fabulous day!

 Karen asked about the flooding - and yep, the wash (ditch) in front of my house flooded on Monday night.  Didn't go up and over my bridge, but came close.  It washed away a lot of the ditch bank and I now I have a tree that is sitting right next to a big drop-off.  Not good.

Photo Saturday - couldn't resist stopping to take a picture of this building on my way home yesterday.  Thought it was rather fitting for this holiday weekend.

Enjoy your day!

Never made it out to do any yard work yesterday - it started lightening and raining before I even made it outside.  Weird weather day - at one point I had little frozen balls of hail all over the patio!  I did however, get some class projects done so all is good!  Today though I think I'd better get myself motivated to do some yard work!

Have a fabulous day!
