Misc Sunday - this old tractor reminded me of my Dad - he's been gone for 17 years and I still miss him and think about him most every day!

Applefest was fun - it was a beautiful day to be outside, I got my fix of junk food and the piece of homemade apple pie (with ice cream, of course) was the best.  It was a good day and we didn't even get into any trouble,  Now it's time to get some work done - I really must get class projects done today so I will work on that and watch a little football this afternoon - Go Broncos!

Have a fabulous day!

Photo Saturday - more color from Grand Mesa

I still haven't finished the class projects and I probably should be working on that today but........Judy S and I are off on an adventure instead.  We're going to head to Cedaredge in a bit and check out their Applefest celebration.  Way more fun than working, right? And I'm really looking forward to all that junk food.  We'll try not to get in too much trouble! :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - leaves are from SU.  The background embossing folder is a new one I picked up at Joann's (I think) - it's from Cuttlebug.  Colors are kraft, cajun, tangelo and honey.

I probably should try and work on class projects today.  First I need to clean off my table in the class room/stamp room and the table in my wool room.  Not sure how both of them ended up being such a mess, but that's the way it is.  I at least have to get the table in the wool room cleaned up before Deb and Emily get here for Friday night crafting! :)

Have a great day!

The card - I sponged the left side of the front panel with cajun and added some string.  The leaves are a sizzix punch and I crumpled them up a bit before adding them to the card.  

Finally.....I was fairly productive yesterday - got the class projects for Tuesday's class done.  Now I need to figure out the rest of the projects for October.  Taking a break from all of that today - it's time for our Wool Gatherer's group so I am looking forward to a afternoon of stitching!

Have a great day!

The card - leaf is from an old SU set.  I stamped the leaf on the card front with Cajun.  The leaf on the front panel is inked with honey and then I inked the edges of the stamp with cajun using a sponge.  Colors are cajun, black, kraft and white.

More rain?  Where the heck did that come from?  I guess I haven't been paying much attention to the forecast - didn't realize we were supposed to get more rain!  Since I didn't get any class projects done yesterday I guess it's a good day to stay inside and work on that!  (I did get the laundry done though!)

Have a great day!

The card - one little background stamp (from SU) added to strips of washi tape, leaf punch, ribbon and sentiment.  Super easy.

Time to actually get something accomplished today - or least give it an honest try.  Laundry and class projects are at the top of my list for the day.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaves are from an old SU set.  They are stamped, cut out and popped up.  Colors are white, blackberry and mossy meadow.

Dr's appointment this morning, then I probably should go to the grocery store.  It's also time to think about laundry and I need to get started on class projects this week too!  And of course there's still lots of things left to do on 'the list'.  Sounds like I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy this week :)

Have a great day!

Misc Sunday - more fall color from Grand Mesa

Yesterday turned into a very nice day even with the rain.  I got a little stamping done in the morning.....my mojo is still off cavorting somewhere else though....I'm not being real productive in that area.  We left for Fruita Fall Festival just as it started really dumping the rain....but it only lasted a short while and we enjoyed wandering around the festival, looking at the booths and enjoying the atmosphere.  We had a great dinner and then sat and listened to some nice bluegrass music for an hour or so.  It rained some more just after we got home so that was good timing :)  It's supposed to continue raining today so it's a good day to stay indoors and try to get some more stamping done.    Hopefully I can be productive!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Saturday - I never get tired of the fall colors on Grand Mesa.  

I'm determined to get some stamping done today.  My stamping mojo must be around here somewhere.......hopefully I can find it.  Looking forward to checking out Fruita Fall Festival with Eileen later this afternoon - let's hope the forecasted rain holds off til later tonight :)

Have a great day!

The card - leaves from SU are stamped, cut out and popped up.  Colors are mossy meadow,  blackberry, vanilla and kraft.

I ended up staying home yesterday but then decided it was a good day to get some errands done.  Today I really need to get some things ready to stitch so I will have something to work on when Deb and Emily are here for Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card - background spoltches are from SU.  The leaf is a punch from Sizzix.  Colors are soft sky, pistachio and white.

I decided to stay a little closer to home yesterday, but I did go for a nice drive over Grand Mesa.  Awesome fall colors....took a ton of pictures.  I probably should get some stuff done this morning, but I may go for another drive this afternoon if I can figure out a place to go that's close enough :)

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are stamp / punch from SU.  I just stamped them along the edge of the card and added a sentiment.  Easy!  The gold flower is punched out and popped up.  Colors are lagoon, blackberry and honey.

Not sure what my plans are for the day.  I started out thinking I might take a little two-day trip to Durango to photograph some fall colors.  However I've heard the colors are not quite at their peak yet, so now I'm not sure what I'm going to do.  Maybe I'll have to get back to work on my list......

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Background embossing folder is also from SU.  Colors are black, white and honey.

Taking Sara's Mom to the train station this morning and then I need to get my stamping mess from yesterday cleaned up and get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - leaves are from SU.  The top and bottom leaves are stamped directly on the panel, the middle leaf is stamped, cut out and popped up.  Colors are mossy meadow, honey and cajun.

Since I haven't gotten any stamping done that needs to be my goal for today.  I will have to wait to get back to 'my list' until later in the week.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - a small candle mat for November.

Need to finish putting up the fall decorations today, maybe watch a little football and try to get some stamping done.  Go Broncos!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a little color on Grand Mesa

My friend Eileen is coming over today and we're hoping to get some stitching stuff done.  Eileen is part of the Good Time Girls, but everyone else is busy this weekend so we are going to have a fun day without them :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is a stamp with matching punch from SU.  I stamped it twice and layered one on top of another for a little more dimension.  The leaves are made by punching the flower with solid green and then cutting off a couple of petals.  Colors are white, black and honey.

Need to get some laundry done today and I'm hoping to multi task and get the fall decorations up too.  I am making progress on 'the list' which is a good thing!

Have a great day!

The card - leaves and sentiment are from SU.  The background leaf is stamped directly on the panel, the top leaf is stamped, cut out and then popped up.  Colors are vanilla, cajun and honey.

Back to work on 'the list'.  I was able to mark at least a couple of things off yesterday - yay!  We'll see how many I can do today - although I do have to stop at some point and get ready for class tonight :)

Louise - the leaf on yesterdays card was just a stem stamp from an old SU set.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is made with two different flower stamps and punches from SU.  Colors are kraft, riding hood red and daffodil.

Why did I think making a list was a good idea?  The darn list is just getting longer.....I ended up doing several errands yesterday just picking up things I needed to do something on the list and then I thought of a couple more projects to add to the list.  Yikes!  Ok, so today I'm going to try and actually finish a project on the list so I can mark it off - the list needs to get shorter!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaves are punched out, crumpled up and then sponged with kraft.  Colors are basic gray, cherry cobbler and blue bayou. 

I plan on seeing how many things I can get done today so I can  mark them off my list....I'm on a roll!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The leaf is punched out, wadded up and then sponged.  The background stamp is embossed with white.  Colors are sahara sand, lagoon and honey.

 I haven't been very motivated lately to get things done, so last night I made a list of all the things I want/need to get done this week.  Now I just need to pick at least one thing each day so I can mark it off my list...... I think today I'm going to try and get some stamping done!  (and I need to get ready for class tonight too!)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - I finished this beach scene a couple weeks ago.  I did it as a Thank you for my cousin Marleen for taking care of me for two weeks after I got out of the hospital.  I finally got it mailed to her this week!

Today is our Black Sheep Sunday so I will be off to meet Deb for breakfast and then on to a day of stitching!  Yay!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

Well, since I got absolutely nothing done yesterday I guess I really should try to get something accomplished today.  No idea what that will be, but I'll try - really I will :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The background square is stamped with smoky slate, the leaves are stamped with black.  The strips of color are washi tape.

I've got several things I want to get done in the next couple of days, I just need to figure out where to start.  I really need to get some stamping done and I want to get the fall decorations out.  I also need to figure out what stitching projects I want to work on next.  Hmmm....guess I have plenty to do, just need to get motivated to do them!

Have a terrific day!

The card - super simple - just some 1" squares punched out of some fun pattern paper and an added sentiment.  The squares and sentiment are popped up.

Tonight is our Shoebox Club and hmmm....guess what.....you're right - I don't have a project done.  Oh my - guess I better get to work on that!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are cajun, kraft and white.

Oh my, I actually don't have a plan for today.  I do need to do some errands so maybe I should get those done.  Then I will need to get ready for class tonight.   Hmmm...now that sounds like a plan :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Hero Arts.  I stamped the images on a full panel then cut the panel into strips.  The strips are popped up.

Class this morning and class again tonight.  If it isn't raining I may go do a few errands in between.  But now I need to go get the classroom straightened up and ready for this morning's class.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The wood grain background is stamped with smoky slate on smoky slate card stock.  The image is stamped in black.  

I did make some progress with class projects yesterday - still have a bit left to do and then I'll need to get them cut and bagged.  Since I have class in the morning, that means today's job is get that stuff finished!

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - a small table mat for fall.

I didn't get far with class projects yesterday - my stamping mojo is nowhere to be found.  Now I'm getting down to the wire so I hope I can get them done today!

Have a super great day!

Photo Saturday - one of many lakes on Grand Mesa.  You can tell fall is coming, the colors are starting to change - lots of small patches of color here and there.

A fun evening - our friend Sherry was here and joined us for our Friday night crafting - yay!  It is always good to see her!  Now today I really must get busy on class projects!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterflies are stamp/punch from SU.  Colors are honey, blackberry and lagoon.

It's time to get some laundry done - maybe I can do a little muti-tasking today because I also need to figure out class projects for classes that start next week.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - used a stem from a SU set for the flowers and then added the Prima flowers to the stem.  The big dots embossing folder is also from SU.  Colors are calypso and white.

I spent almost the entire day yesterday just taking a drive over Grand Mesa.  It was good to get out and it was a beautiful day.  Took a lot of pictures and just enjoyed the scenery.  Today is one of our stitching groups, so I probably should get a bit of work done around the house and then I can go and enjoy some stitching time this afternoon.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Hero Arts.  Script background is stamped with smoky slate.  Flower was inked with smoky slate and primrose markers.

I have no idea what I'm doing today.   I do have to go get a blood test done and then I guess I'll decide after that.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flowers are stamp/punch from SU.  The 'leaves' are made by punching a flower from green and then cutting the 'leaves' from the flower.  I stamped the flower three times with brown on honey and cut out the center and added it to the center of each flower.

Need to finish up the class stuff for tonight and hopefully get a little stamping done today.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flower is made with 3 different flowers/punch layered on top of each other.  Colors are honey, black and pear.

Down to the wire today - I have to get the class project done for tomorrow night and I need to get some cards made....hmmm....guess I should be busy today :)

Have a wonderful day!

Misc Sunday - Jeff went for a test drive yesterday in this Tesla.  He said it was super cool to drive and now he wants one - hehe - he'll have to save his money for a long time!  If you live in Grand Junction and want to test drive it yourself you can do that at the car show at Canyon View Park today!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  I really need to work on class projects so maybe I can get motivated to do that.  We'll see.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - sharing one of Jeff's photos (I think this one was taken on Grand Mesa)

Looking forward to a family birthday party later today.  I will get to see some cousins that I haven't seen in several years.  So, it's going to be a fun evening.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images and background die cut are from SU.   Colors are cantaloupe, pear and white.

I spent almost the entire day yesterday out running errands.....it was one of those days when I started out with just one errand and then kept saying...'oh well, as long as I'm out I might as well do ....."    So, today I think I better try to stay put and get some stuff done at home :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are honey, daffodil, black and vanilla.

Need to start thinking about class projects - gosh, it seems like I just did that!  Time is going by much too fast and I can't actually believe that it's almost September.  Summer will be over, time to think about fall stuff.  Oh my!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flowers are two different stamps with matching punch.  

Enough with the rain already.  I did get a little yard stuff done before it started raining yesterday so that was a good thing.  But it's been raining this morning and is supposed to rain even more so there's not much chance I can get anything done outside today.  Guess I need to find something else to do today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - I used SU's hexagon punch for this one.  Not a lot of stamping, just some punched hexagons, a little ribbon and some small punched flowers.  Colors are white and baja.

Good grief, they are predicting more rain today.  Enough already!  I want to get the rest of my yard cleaned up.  Maybe I can get a bit done this morning and hope the rain holds off for at least a little while.  We'll see.

Enjoy your day!

The card - just 3 stamped panels..... stamped images are from SU.  Butterflies are punch from Martha Stewart.  Can't go wrong with black and white, one of my favorite color combos!

I finally got some yard work done yesterday.  Whew!  Didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but I didn't want to overdo and be wiped out today.  Hopefully I'll get some more done later this week, but I have a birthday dinner to cook tonight so I need to get to work on that!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - aw....finally a finished project.  This is fairly large and will be in a frame.  (the small leaves are really green, not sure why they look so yellow in the picture).

Gosh, I sure hope we see some sunshine today.  I'm tired of the rain and the gloom.  Not sure I'll get out to work in the yard, but I still want to see some sunshine!!!!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - sharing one of my son's photos again today.  Mt Evans in Colorado.

And once again I had planned on spending the day getting the yard cleaned up - and once again the weather is not cooperating.  I didn't realize it was going to rain most of the night - and they are predicting more rain during the day today - good grief! I thought we were supposed to have some nice sunny weather this weekend.  (shows you what I know!)   I guess I'll figure out another way to spend the day - plenty to do, that's for sure.  There's always stamping or stitching too!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is stamp/punch from SU.  I layered two of them together for a little more dimension.  The 'leaves' are just flower petals that I cut off of a flower I punched from solid paper.  Colors are baja and white.

Well, darn!  I had talked myself into finally getting out in the yard today and now the weather is not cooperating.  The wind is blowing and we're supposed to get more rain - ugh!  Hmmm....guess I need to re-group and figure out another plan for the day.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are kraft, black and white.

Not sure what my plans are for today.  I probably should try to get some yard work done since the rain interfered with that the other day.  But I do have class tonight so I will need to get ready for that at some point.  hmmm...guess I'll just see what I can talk myself into today.

Have a great day!

The card - background and flower are from SU.  Colors are smoky slate, lagoon and tangelo twist.

Off for a full day of stitching today.....yay!  Need to get a few items put together this morning before I leave that I want to get started on and I also have a project I'm hoping to finish today.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flowers are all stamps with matching punches from SU.  Colors are kraft, daffodil, coral and soft sky.

Well, I had planned to work in the yard today ......just my luck they are predicting rain.  Maybe I can get at least a start on some weeds this morning before the rain comes (if it actually does).

Have a super great day!

The card - flower is from SU.  Strips are washi tape.  Colors are white and lagoon.

Have a lot of odds and ends of chores to get done today.  I'll also have to get the stamping mess cleaned up in the classroom since I have class tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

Misc Sunday - sharing one of Jeff's photos taken last week in the Colorado mountains

I finally got quite a lot of stamping done yesterday - Kellie, Sue and Eileen kept me focused all day, so I was productive for a change - yay!  Today I need to finish up card kits for class - I think that's a good job to do while watching the Broncos play today!

Have a wonderful day!
