Photo Saturday - sunset Thursday night

We had to work in a time for Tracy to have chicken and noodles while she was here so we're doing that at noon today.  I got most of the 'work' done yesterday so only have the last minute preparations to do this morning.  Then she will be off doing more reunion stuff so I can either be ambitious and get something done - or take a nap!

Have a great day!

The card - grunge stamps from SU, die cut tag is from Hero Arts.  Card is vanilla and everything is stamped in basic grey and smoky slate.

Tracy was supposed to be here at 8pm last night - she finally arrived at 12:30am.   Way past my bed time.  I'm just a bit groggy this morning.  I'm pretty sure that a nap is in my plans for the day:)  Have to be ready for Friday night craftin' with Deb tonight!

Enjoy your day.

The card - flower is stamp/punch from SU, leaf is a die cut from SU.  Chevron is a background stamp from Lawn Fawn.  Colors are cherry cobbler, gumball, white and black.

Full day today - need to finish up a bit of housework, go to the grocery store, get ready for class tonight and then after class it will be time to pick up my daughter Tracy at the airport. She's coming home for her class reunion so she will be busy with that, but it will still be nice to have her around for a few days :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leafy image is from Hero Arts, stamped with gumball green.  Embossing folder is from SU. 

More rain?  We certainly need it, but oh my, it's messing with my plans to get the yard cleaned up.  And the combination of heat and humidity...ugh!   Enough whining...I have plenty of stuff to get done in the house so I will concentrate on that today.

Have a great day!

Thank you




The card - tag is a die cut from Hero Arts, hexagon is SU punch. (it's actually punched from a piece of navy blue patterned paper - looks way darker in the photo)  Chevron embossing folder is from SU.  The card and tag are made with vanilla, pieces are sponged with kraft.

We got quite the nice little rain storm last night.  That's a good thing, however it sure put a kink in my plans to work in the yard this morning.  I guess I'll get some inside stuff done today and put the yard stuff off for another day. 

Have a great day!

The card - flower and sentiment are from SU.  Strips of color are washi tape.  Colors are white and kraft.

Have a whole long list of stuff that needs to be done this week so I guess I better decide what needs to be done first and get started.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Colorado Scenery from our road trip last month.

Off on another little road trip today, but not such a fun one.  My daughter-in-law's father passed away this week and the memorial service is today in Cedaredge.  (about an hour away)  So I will be driving down for that.  Gary was such a nice guy - we're going to miss him a lot!

Have a nice day!

Have a great day!

The card - just kind of a fun one.  The background stamp and arrow are from Hero Arts.  I just stamped the background with a variety of colors and added the sentiment and arrow in black. 

Tonight is our Shoebox Club and that means I need to come up with a project - hmmmm - I guess I better get to work on that :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers and sentiment are from SU.  Colors are smoky slake, pear and pool party.

I know I had a plan for today.... but for the life of me I can't remember what it was!  Plenty of things to do though so I guess I'll just figure it out as I go :)  At some point I will need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

Pretty paper





The card - just some pretty paper, a sentiment and some ribbon. 

I'm going to get my stuff ready for class tonight and then I'm going to work on the mess in the basement today.  It's gotten so bad it's driving me nuts, so I'm going to at least try to get it straightened up and put in some kind of order. 

Have a wonderful day!

A new week, a new month.  Time is flying by much too fast!  I need to do some errands today and then I really need to get class stuff figured out for this month.
