The card - black and white with just a spot of color - just something a little different :)

Trying to decide what direction to go in today - I'm either going to try and get some more stamping done or go work in the garage.  Can't quite decide what I'm in the mood for.

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU.  It's cut out and popped up and the banner with Hello is popped up and slipped under the flower.  Colors are white and strawberry slush.

It's time to get some stamping done so I think that's going to be my focus today.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a little grunge from SU and an added sentiment - an super easy one!

Off for some tests this morning - just a yearly checkup thing, but taking time out of my day!  Then I will come home and get ready for class tonight.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - a wall hanging I finished this week

I didn't get any work done in the garage yesterday - it was actually quite cold out there and I just couldn't talk myself into it - maybe today, we'll see.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - one of my neighbors has some really pretty Iris

OK, enough with the rain already.  Geez, I think we're going to float away and my poor flowers are getting water logged!  I guess we do need the moisture, but enough is enough.     I think I'm going to try and motivate myself to get the garage cleaned up a bit today - I've managed to make a mess out there so it's time to put some stuff away.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.   The flower is stamped three times and the different sections cut out of each one, then popped up on top of each other.   Colors are honey, mossy meadow and white.  

Gosh, I've been so busy this week trying to get yard work done, the house cleaned up and class stuff finished, now it's all done and I have a free day!  Woo hoo!  Not exactly sure what I'm going to do - we're supposed to get more rain so doing something outdoors doesn't sound like a good plan.  We'll see - I should be able to think of something.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - flower and sentiment are from SU.  Colors are saraha sand and cantaloupe.  

Cooking dinner tonight for Jeff's birthday.  His birthday is actually tomorrow, but he's meeting a friend for a fishing day so we're doing dinner tonight instead.  Guess I better get to it - have to make a cake and some homemade ice cream.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are cantaloupe and white with just a touch of honey and pool party.

Hoping to get some work done in the yard today - hopefully the weather will cooperate :)

Have a terrific day.

The card - background on back panel is from Kaiser Kraft, background on small front panel is from SU.  Black & white strip is washi tape.  Butterfly is stamp/punch from SU.  Colors are white, pool party and honey.

Need to finish up my class stuff today and then get myself organized for the coming week.  I did get the rest of my flowers planted yesterday so that job is finished.   Yay!   Now if it would just stop raining so I could take care of the weeds that have appeared ........

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - finished this wall hanging this week

Finished up all but one of the class projects yesterday - yay! If it would stop raining for long enough I'd like to get the rest of my flowers planted :)  Actually, I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing day and then dinner with Jeff and Sara.

Happy Mother's Day! 

Enjoy your day.

Photo Saturday - on the Colorado National Monument

Working on class projects today.  I didn't make much progress yesterday, I just could not get motivated.  So, now today, it's pretty much a have-to thing!  Here's hoping my mojo is working better than it was yesterday.

Have a great day!

The card - leaves are from SU.  The leaves are stamped in mossy meadow and black.  Butterfly is punched from a piece of vellum.  

Time to get to work on class projects.   Hopefully I can be productive and get them done today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is from SU.   Colors are white, tangelo, honey and lagoon.   The front panel is popped up.

A big stitching day - the schedule got changed around a bit this month so we ended up with two different events in one day.  This afternoon we'll be working on our 'block of the month' and then tonight we'll be at our Wool Gatherer's club.  A busy day and I should get lots accomplished :)

Have a wonderful day.

The card - flower and ribbon are from SU.   The colors are white and honey.

I have a few more flowers to plant, but since it's been raining off and on during the night it's pretty darn wet out there.  I guess the flowers will have to wait.  Maybe I can get some work done on class projects - or get some stamping done.  Either one would be good!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  The card and flowers are blackberry bliss - looks better in real life - it's a color that doesn't photograph well.  The stems and bottom piece of panel is mossy meadow.

Planning on working in the yard today - that is if the weather cooperates.  We're supposed to get rain, so we'll see.  I may have to revise my plan for the day :)  At some point I will have to get ready for class tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the leaves first and then just stamped the three different flowers randomly over the leaves.  

Off to a Dr's appointment this morning.  Then I have a couple of errands to do and then I need to get back and get the class projects done for class tomorrow night.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - my April 'Block of the Month'

Yard work today - Jeff and my friend Eileen are coming over and we're tearing out the planter in the front.  The poor thing is falling apart and I'm ready for a different look.  Eileen is going to take the rocks and use them in her yard - yay!  So, lots of work going on today.

Have a great day!

Here are the pieces of the potting bench I put together last week.   It went from this.........

to this.....

dang, I was impressed with myself :)
Have a wonderful day!

Friday, May 1, 2015

The card - background stamp is from SU, 'happy' is a die cut from Hero Arts and balloons are a Martha Stewart punch.    Colors are white, lagoon and soft sky.

Well, I managed to get my potting bench put together yesterday - it was a bit awkward to do by myself, but I managed and so far it hasn't fallen apart :)  I have some flowers I want to get planted today.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!
