Have a terrific day!

The card - background stamps are from SU.  The background and sentiment are stamped before the panel is embossed.  The butterflies are stamped, punched out and popped up.  Somehow the picture made this card look kind of weird - it actually looks much better in real life :)

Have a wonderful day!

Tonight we're celebrating birthdays!  I did a pretty good job of stretching my birthday celebrations thru the entire month of June (hence, that's why June is my birthday MONTH), but this year I get to stretch it out even a little further and do some celebrating in July.  Since Sherry is here we're celebrating both our birthdays tonight!  Yay!

Have a terrific day!

Went to a new pottery shop in Town yesterday.  If you are local and you like painting pottery you need to check out Fat Cat Pottery down on Main Street.  Great place, really nice owners and lots of fun things to work on.  We learned some new techniques (well, new to us anyway) and did some fun projects.  I want to go back soon!

My birthday dinner got postponed the other night, so tonight Jeff & Sara & Hudson are taking me out for a delayed birthday dinner.  Looking forward to it!

Have a wonderful day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a little grunge in the background (SU & Papertrey Ink) with a punched butterfly (Martha Stewart) an added sentiment and some bling.  Pretty darn easy!

Here in sunny California - which is not sunny at all. Doing the June gloom thing I guess.  It's not even all that warm! But, who cares!  We're off to meet Marleen's friends to go for a walk, then we're headed to the beach for lunch and shopping!

Have a great day!

The card - some fun grunge in different colors, plus a die cut (happy) and sentiment - all from Hero Arts.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more printed paper - added some twine and some bling and an embossed background.  Too easy!

I guess I am totally losing it.  When I went to do this post I realized I completely forgot to do a post yesterday.  Good grief!  Sorry about that!  Lots of stuff on my mind, so I'm not surprised, but still.......    Leaving for California tomorrow, so have things to get done today.  And I have Hudson today, and class tonight, so chores are going to get worked on in between everything else.

Have a terrific day!

The card - a little grunge in the background,  some printed paper and a butterfly stamp/punch (from SU).  Easy!

Keeping Hudson today so not expecting to get a lot done.  I will work on a few things here and there while he is napping (if I don't get sucked into HGTV - ha!ha!)  I really do need to make the most of my time since I am leaving for California on Thursday and there are things I need to get done before I leave :)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - finished another hat this week.  (sorry about the bad picture)  Same pattern as last one, just a different yarn - but I like the variegated look.

Got a start on the chores yesterday, but ran out of energy before I finished.  Need to get out and put some fertilizer on the lawn this morning and trim some bushes before it gets too hot!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - another Hudson photo

Whew - have a ton of errands and chores to get done this weekend.  Baby time is much more fun, but I don't seem to get much done when he is around - which is very much ok.  But, there are things that need to be done so I guess I better get to it!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I added some black twine to the small panel and then popped the panel up.

What a great beginning to my birthday month - wow!  My friend Celisa's husband made the main dish for dinner last night - oh so yummy.  And there was a great salad and fresh bread and yummy cupcakes for dessert.  And some awesome gifts - wow - it was an awesome night!  I have the best friends!

No plans for today except for Grandma time.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting.

Have a terrific day!

The card - I don't think this is one of my favorites, but it's a little different so we'll just go with it!  I stamped some grunge on the background of the small panel in different colors and then just stamped a flower outline over the top.  The sentiment and the grunge on the card background are also stamped with black.

Hudson and I are going to be out and about for a bit today.  Going to do a errand then off to visit my cousin who hasn't seen Hudson yet.  And....it's June.....and that means it's my birthday month!  And tonight is the first birthday celebration - yay!  Tonight is our Shoebox Club and we're celebrating my birthday - fun stuff!

Have a great day!

The card - some more printed paper - this stuff is just so cool, especially for masculine cards.  It comes from a company called Pion Design and I got it locally at Seasons to Follow.

OMG I'm becoming addicted to daytime TV - especially HGTV.  Oh no!  I'm not much of a tv watcher to begin with, but I NEVER watch daytime tv.  I found myself watching Fixer Upper while I gave Hudson a bottle, then I just sat and watched it the rest of the day......now that is not good!

Have a great day!
