I've got quite the list of things to do in the next couple of days.  Deb & I are leaving on Friday to go see our friend Sherry on the eastern slope so I need to get myself organized :)  But this afternoon I have a movie date....with a guy!...ok, don't get too excited....he's only 8!  It will be fun, but I need to get busy and get some stuff done before then :)

Have a fabulous day!

Another busy week coming up.....but today I get a little extra craftin' time with Deb while her car is in the shop - yay!  That means I need to get busy and get my mess from yesterday cleaned up so we have some space to work :)

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

(ETA:  the newspaper this morning said they had 200 people tryout - they were hiding somewhere that I couldn't see I guess .....)

Today I have a couple of errands to do and then I will need to get stuff ready for class tonight.

Really need to get some yard work done this morning.  The weeds are multiplying in the driveway way too fast!  So, I will get those taken care of and then I can move on to something a little more enjoyable!

Sue, I had to laugh at the comment you left yesterday..... when I was a kid we called those 'thongs' too!  Then 'thongs' became a kind of underwear and now the shoes are flip flops. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just a fun one today....this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last week.  The flip flops are from Imaginisce and the sentiment is from Deadbeat designs. 

Sure am glad I got my work all done yesterday...woo hoo!  Now, today I can have a little fun.  Judy S and I are going to breakfast, a little (very little) shopping and then some crafting time.   At some point I do need to get things put together for class tonight though. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - butterflies are from Hero Arts, sentiment is from SU.  Colors are indigo, limeade and pool party. 

I got a little side-tracked yesterday and didn't get all my work done...oops!  The priority today is getting the kits cut for class tonight :) 

To answer questions from the last couple of posts:  the flowers from yesterday's card are in SU's set called Field Flowers.  And a question from Sunday's post - I get a lot of my patterns for the wool applique I do from our local quilt shop, but I also order on-line.  A lot of the mats I do come from a company called Primitive Gatherings.  The pattern for the oval mat pictured on Sunday was in a book called Autumn Gatherings.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  Brick wall is Tim Holtz embossing folder, fence is a Martha Stewart punch.  I stamped the stems on the panel, inked the inside of the folder and then embossed.  The flowers and the leaf on the right are cut out and popped up.
