The card - I never get tired of this butterfly embossing folder (from Darice).  Super easy with just some punched out butterflies nnd a sentiment added to it.

Catching up on chores today!  I actually cancelled a stitching morning....I've had Hudson so much lately (love that part!) that I am so far behind in everything else - I have other things every day this week so I am taking the time and trying to get caught up today  (hahaha)  Well, it's worth a try anyway! 

I also may not be able to post for the next few days - I'm out of cards and I need to find some time to stamp! Not sure when that's going to happen! 

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - he loves to 'help' in the kitchen!

And I'm off at the crack of dawn (at least it feels like it) to a Weight Watcher Meeting.  It's past time.  I've done this before and managed to keep things fairly under control until I quit smoking 4 years ago - it's been downhill since then.  So, wish me luck - it's going to be a real struggle!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU - stamped, punched out and popped up.  The patterned paper with the gold foil dots makes this one kind of special!

More 'Grandma time' today.  Poor little guy is getting better and hopefully today he'll be getting closer to his 'normal' self. 

Have a great day!

The card - super simple.....but just think of all the different looks you could get by just changing the paper!    (the 'Hello' is a die cut)

More 'Grandma time' today.  Poor little guy is so stuffed up and running a fever.  More quiet time today I'm afraid.

Have a great day!

The card - just a little fun and funky.  Flowers are from SU, punched out and popped up.

Some extra 'Grandma time' today - poor little guy has a cold so came here instead of to the babysitter.  We'll spend some nice quiet time today. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - sorry about the shadows -(  hard to scan with bulky bling ).  Flowers are from SU, punched out and popped up.

Lots of extra Grandma time last week 😏, but oh what fun.  Just didn't get much of anything done and I ran out of cards.  Trying to get a little stamping done this morning, moving on to yard work this afternoon and a class tonight.  Hoping to get myself back on a schedule - hahaha!  It's a nice thought, but pretty sure it's not going to happen any time soon!  Just have to take it as it comes these days!

Have a terrific day!

The card - just one more tulip card 😊  (tulips from Papertrey Ink).  The stripes across the bottom are washi tape.

I ended up being extremely lazy yesterday - my biggest accomplishment was getting the laundry done (done, but still not put away!)  But that's ok - it will all gt done sooner or later.  Trying to finish up a couple chores this morning, stitching at Inspirations this afternoon, picking up Hudson at babysitter and a birthday dinner for one of the girls in our Shoebox Club tonight.  (and I need to get some of the things for dinner started before I leave for stitching)  Guess I better get to work!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - some grunge in the background with flowers from Unity stamped in black.  Quick and easy!

A free day!  (well, until 4:00 when I have to pick up Hudson from the babysitters)  My oh my, whatever shall I do?  I do have a couple of chores I need to get done, but I really should have made a better plan for the day.  Oh well!

Have a terrific day!

The card - background squares are patterned paper, clouds are punched out, sponged on the edge and popped up.  Kite is from SU and is cut out and popped up.

Family dinner tonight before the guys leave for Vegas for their golf trip.  I am a bit behind, so I still need to go to the grocery store before I can start cooking.  Guess I better get moving!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - and even more tulips!  The tulips are from Papertrey Ink, the bottom border is from SU.  

A little more 'Grandma time' today.  I think we're all going out for dinner tonight which will be nice. 

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - I know I've posted a few of these along the way....but this is a picture of all 12.  These were a lot of fun to do and they stitched up fairly quickly - it was a great Block of the Month!  

More'Grandma time' today.  Jeff is doing his annual Golf thing all this week (it started yesterday) so because Sara is working so much I am the lucky one and I get to keep Hudson - yay!  My son-in-law is in town joining Jeff  so that is fun too!  Tonight we have friends coming for dinner so Hudson and I will need to make our way to the grocery store at some point!

Have a great day!

The card - not much stamping on this one.  The flower is punched out, scrunched up and popped up.  The background is squares of patterned paper with two rounded corners.

Have a great day!

The card - more tulips  (from Papertrey Ink)  The background paper is from SU and I thought it was a cool look for this card.  

A ton of chores to do today.  My poor house has been  rather neglected lately so I think it's time to do a bit of cleaning.  Not my favorite activity these days, but it always feels so good when it's done!  That's my goal for the day - well, that and getting ready for class tonight!

Have a terrfic day!

The card - butterfly is from SU.  I stamped it with black on yellow cardstock and then colored it a bit with copics.  It's cut out and popped up.

Need to get ready for my class this morning.  Have a bit of free time this afternoon - maybe I will get a few errands done, or take a nap, or ???  Who knows.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more tulips!   Tulips are from Papertrey Ink - strips down each side is washi tape.  Spring is here!  I actually saw a whole yard filled with blooming tulips yesterday - so pretty!   

'Grandma time' today!  A couple of hours of stitching with friends tonight - yay!  A good day it will be!

Enjoy your day!

Aww....a free day!  Only one I'm going to have for a while, so I better take advantage.  Although my dream would be to spend the day in my pj's reading and doing nothing, I don't think that will work 😉  My plan is to get some stamping done and get ready for class next week!  Now, if I can just focus and not get side-tracked!!

Have a terrific day!

The card - the sentiemtn (HB) is from Papertrey Ink.  I embossed it with white and then sponged over it with yellow and punched out the circle.  It is popped up on the dry embossed background.

An extra day of 'Grandma time' today.  (Babysitter issues)  Just as well, I didn't have even a glimmer of a plan for the day, so I wouldn't have accomplished much anyway - a day of fun works better for me!

Have a great day!

The card - not a good scan - card is much more subtle ...done all in Greys.  Flowers are from SU, stamped and punched out and popped up.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.  We had a great family day and then Hudson spent the night.  Yay for me!  Today we're off to Kindermusik and then who knows what fun things we can find to do!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - my favorite little guy....this kid is just awesome!

A couple of last minute errands today and then I just need to get my house cleaned up a bit and get ready for tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day!

For tonilea - aww...thank you so much for the comment yesterday!  I am glad I can be an inspiration to you - how sweet you are!  A little explanation for you - Grand  Junction is in the western part of Colorado, very close to the Utah border.  I love it!  And, yes I always look forward to having my Grandson - I'm probably a bit more attached because he was born just a few months after my daughter passed away suddenly.  He has been my life-line the past two years.  (well, along with his Dad, my son)  Life is precious and I try to make the most of it 😊  Today would have been my daughter's 43rd birthday.  I miss her a lot!  

Project Sunday - another winter project.  This one is also waiting for inspiration on finishing - frame, wall hanging, etc.  

Had an extra day of 'Grandma time' yesterday, so had a fun day instead of getting any work done - haha - works for me!  Now, today, I really should try to get something accomplished!  We'll see how ambitious I am!

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

The card - triangles are stamped (SU), cut out and popped up.    A sentiment plus a little bling - easy!

'Grandma time' today - Hudson turns 2 today.  I cannot believe it has been 2 years - have loved every minute!  Not sure what the plan is for the day, but family dinner tonight and I still have to make the cake & icecream - I better get to it!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - finished this piece a couple weeks ago.  I think I want to put it in a frame so I have to look for one the right size.  (my rule is to buy the frame first - duh....forgot!)

Have a wonderful day!

Chores this morning and then off to Hudson's Birthday party - can not believe how fast 2 years have gone by!

Have a wonderful day!

'Grandma time' today.  Friday night crafting tonight.  All is good!  (it would be a tad bit better if I didn't have this cold, but it's not as bad today, so I'm sure I will survive :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - lots of grunge going on here!  Have to say, this one is not my favorite, but it's ok.  That diamond shape is a new SU punch though and I really like it!

I ended up with some extra 'Grandma time' yesterday - the babysitter was sick.  It was a bit of an adventure having him when we were trying to do a knitting class, but it was ok.  Now, today I need to get caught up on stuff I was going to do yesterday, plus today's chores.  Hmm....not sure how that will turn out.  I seem to have caught a bit of a head cold too, so not really feeling too energetic this morning.  Nothing happening today that can't wait though, so here's just hoping for the best!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from Altenew.  I used some grunge stamps for the background, but I spritzed them with water before stamping for more of a watercolor look.

Knitting class this morning and then maybe I can get some more stamping done this afternoon.  I managed to at least get cards done for card class next week - yay!

Have a terrific day!

The card - grunge, some Prima flowers, washi tape, bling and a sentiment.  That's it!  Pretty darn easy.

A free day!  Oh my - whatever will I do?   I'm thinking I will spend the day stamping - now we will just hope I don't get sidetracked from that goal :)
