The card - flowers and embossing folder are from SU.  The flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up.  Sentiment is from Printworks.  Colors are calypso, strawberry and pear.

A bit of a late start again this morning.  Can't quite seem to get used to the time change yet.  Have to decide whether to get some stamping done today or work on getting some of the stamp stuff in the garage organized.  Hmmm.....  whichever I do I will have to make sure the mess I make is cleaned up in time for class tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp is from Paper Inspiration.  Embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby.  Colors are white, daffodil and black.

A full day with class this morning and again tonight.  Hopefully I can work in a couple of errands in between.

Have a super day!

The card - printed paper, a sentiment and some bling - can't get much easier than that!  

Need to get a lot of odds of ends of stuff done today - including the laundry.  It's going to be a busy week so I need to be ready!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - I didn't make this wool applique project, but I just had to share it.  My friend Deb made one of these for Emily, Sherry and I for our Christmas gift.  It is just so cool and it looks even better in real life.  It is hanging in my wool room where I get to enjoy it every day!

Gosh, it seems like I really slept in this morning - I did sleep a little later than usual, but with the time change the clock makes it even later.  Good for me!  That will change as the days go by though.  The morning will go by really fast but that is ok since I'm looking forward to an entire afternoon of stitching at our Black Sheep gathering today.

Have a super wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - took a drive over Grand Mesa the other day - still lots of snow up there.  It wasn't a very good day for photos though, but I did get a few.

Never got around to working on class stuff yesterday - now it's getting down to the wire so I will have to get that done today.

Have a great day!

The card - the flower is made from layering 3 different sizes of flowers punched from red card stock.  I scrunched them up a bit too.  The sentiment is one I picked up at Hobby Lobby (from Printworks).  

Gosh this week has gone by fast!  It sure doesn't seem like I've accomplished much.  But it's time to start figuring out class projects for classes that start next week so I think I better concentrate on that today.

Have a super day!

The card - some prima flowers, a punched leaf, a sentiment on a banner and an embossed background (from Hobby Lobby).  Pretty darn easy!

I have to get my act together this morning and get something put together to stitch - this afternoon is Wool Gatherer's Club at Hi Fashion and I don't have anything ready to work on.

Enjoy your day!

The card - simple and fun.  The sentiment is from Printworks (purchased at Hobby Lobby) and the triangles are punched from printed paper with SU's new triangle punch.  The mat behind the front panel is Island Indigo.

Not sure what the plan for the day is.  Lots of things that need to be done...I just need to figure out where to start.  Or, if it turns out to be a nice day I may just go for a drive.  I have a brand new lens for my camera that is still in the box and that's not good.

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  I stamped them with wisteria ink on wisteria paper and then punched them out with the matching punch.  Splotches are also stamped with wisteria.  The sentiment is one I picked up at Hobby Lobby, I believe it's from Printworks.

I really need to get back to work on the classroom - I make an awful mess when I am organizing and I have class tonight so....... I am making progress but I think that room is a going to be an on-going project for quite some time.

Have a super day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last month.  The hexagons are stamps and matching punch  from SU.  Colors are pool party, pistachio and coastal cabana.

Well, Sherry ended up staying another day - yay!  So, we all spent the day yesterday getting more stitching done.  What a great weekend we had.  Sherry will be leaving this morning to return home and I must get some work done - I need to get the class projects done for tomorrow night!

Have a wonderful day.

Project Sunday - this is the start of a set of small table mats I made for Sherry, Deb and Emily for Christmas/birthday gifts.  The mats are 8' and there will eventually be one for each month.  These are for January February and March.

What a great weekend!  Sherry is supposed to be leaving to go home today, but we're hoping the weather in the mountains is bad enough for her to extend her stay for another day!  We'll see - if that happens we are planning to get together for more stitching today!  If she ends up leaving I'm going to try and get some work done in the stamp room/class room.  (I'm really hoping that she ends up staying today :)

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - an old barn on the way to Grand Mesa

A day of stitching today - Sherry, Emily, Deb and I will be attending one of Laura's Open Sew days for most of the day.  Then we will be coming back to the house to celebrate Christmas and Birthdays (Emily & Deb's).  Chicken & noodles for dinner and opening gifts - having too much fun!!!!  (not really, one can never have too much fun!)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - printed paper from SU makes this an easy one to put together.  I added a sentiment on a flagged piece of white, some ribbon and a little texture with an embossing folder.  Easy peasy!

Our friend Sherry arrived safe and sound last night.  My first guest in this house - yay!  Now the fun begins.  Sherry will be going to work for a while today, then we will meet up with Emily and Deb for dinner and Friday night crafting.  Woo hoo!  It's been a while since we've all been together and we've all been looking forward to this weekend.  While Sherry is off at work I'm hoping to get a little more work done in the stamp room/classroom.  It looks a little overwhelming.......might take me a few days!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from Paper Inspiration.  I inked the stamp with markers - daffodil and pear.  The strip at the bottom is washi tape.   Pretty darn easy.

No play-day yesterday.  We decided to wait 'til next week.  So, I decided to start on getting some stuff organized in the stamp room/classroom.  Oh my - turned out to be a bigger project than I imagined and now the whole room is a big mess.  Good thing I don't have a class until Tuesday - it will take me that long to get it back together.  No time to work on it today though - have to get some chores done this morning, go to a stitching class this afternoon and then........our friend Sherry is finally going to make it over for a weekend visit.  Yay!  She will be arriving tonight - we're all very excited!  It's going to be a fun weekend.

Have a super fantastic day.

The card - stamped flower and strips of paper are  from SU.  The flower circle is popped up.  An easy one!

I think today is supposed to be a play day - at least I sort of remember talk of going to lunch or something.  I guess I will have to talk to my partner-in-crime to find out if it's going to be a fun play day or if I have to stay home and do something constructive.

Have a fabulous day!

The card - flowers are from SU, stamped in kraft on white, punched out and popped up on the square panel.  

They are delivering my new dining room table today - woo hoo! I had to lower my expectations a bit from what I originally was looking for, but Judy S helped me make a decision on Friday.  So, now I will have a real table instead of a card table in the dining room.

Enjoy your day!

The card - background stamp, splotches and flowers are from SU.  Sentiment is a new one I picked up at Hobby Lobby the other day.  Background is stamped with kraft, splotches are pistachio and flowers are cantaloupe.

Not sure where to start today.  Hmmm......better make a plan or I won't get anything done.  Looking forward to dinner with Jeff & Sara tonight!

Have a great day.

A little more before and after:  the guest room

Before:  This is the smallest bedroom - just enough room for a bed and not much else, but it will work fine for a guest room.

After:  a bit of a hodgepodge of stuff.  The stands by the bed are very old stands that belonged to my grandparents at one time - they don't match, but what the heck, they work for sitting lamps on :)









The closet in this room is really small, almost the same size as the hall closet and has never had a door on it.  So, I added the bench and some ribbed paneling, a shelf with a little decoration and a clothes rod just in case guests have clothes that need to be hung up.    The round table in the corner is another piece that belonged to my grandmother.

Photo Saturday - reminds me of a Charlie Brown tree :)

It's going to be a stamping day - yay!  Judy S is coming over and we are going to be really productive - I'm thinking positive here!

Have a terrific day.

The card - background stamp is from Hero Arts, flower stamp and sentiment are from SU.  Colors are soft sky and white,

Not sure what the plan is for the day.   Looking forward to dinner and an evening of stitching with Deb and Emily though.

Have a great day!
