The card - tulips are from SU.  Leaves, stems and flowers are stamped directly on the background piece.  Sentiment is stamped then punched out and popped up.  

More 'Grandma time' today.  Not sure what we'll do today - hoping the storm that is coming will hold off until later so we can enjoy some outside time!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple one today.  The background is a frame stamp (SU) that I just stamped in different colors.  An added sentiment and a little bling.  Easy peasy!

Sorry I missed yesterday - just plain forgot!  But Hudson and I had a terrific day.  Went to Main Street (totally desserted - no issue with social distancing there!) for a photo taking adventure.  What fun!  It was so much fun watching Hudson get excited about what he was going to take a picture of!  He did great too!  It was sad to see all the stores closed and no people, but we enjoyed the sunshine and the beautiful spring flowers!  I have a day off today - Sara ended up with a day off from work so she kept Hudson at home.  Now what?  No idea what I'm going to do.  This day by day stuff is a little out of my box - I do better with some structure and plans!  LOL!

Have a great day!

The card - butterfly (SU) is stamped, then  punched out and popped up.  Leaves are die cut (tim holtz)  Striped piece down the side is patterned paper.  

'Grandma time' today.  That's all!

Have a great day!

More 'Grandma time' today.  Poor Jeff - he was supposed to be in Las Vegas this week for his annual golf trip with the boys.  He's done this golf trip for many years, since he was in college.  But, of course it's been cancelled for this year.  But, I will keep Hudson today so he and a friend can at least go play some golf here! 

Have a good day!

Crafty Saturday - another wool applique wall hanging finished for spring.

No little one today - oh my, what shall I do?  I probably should do some cleaning, but not too sure I can get myself motivated for that....we'll see.

Enjoy your weekend! 

The card - super easy one today.....round label stamp is from SU.  I added a sentiment, prima flowers and some punched leaves.  That's it!

Awww....Friday.....hopefully we'll see some sunshine today and some warmer weather.  It would be nice to be able to get some fresh air.

Have a great day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  Stamped images are from SU.

Another, cloudy, dreary day.  Glad we enjoyed the sunshine for 2 days - looks like rain, so it will be an indoor day. 

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  Oval is a die cut.  The flowers are stamped on the oval and popped up.  (the colors didn't scan well, they match better than it shows!)

Well, I'm on full-time babysitting duty for awhile.  Jeff & Sara decided they would rather have Hudson coming here rather than preschool/daycare during this whole virus craziness.  So.....my life is taking a new turn for awhile! 

Loving the sunshine....mowed the lawn yesterday and hopefully can do  a bit more outside today. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - the bee and hive (SU) are stamped, then die cut.  The corner piece is a die cut (SU) and the strip across the center is patterned paper.

More 'Grandma time' today.  Not sure why, just got a text asking if I could keep him today and  of course I said yes!  I mean, I certainly don't have anything more important to do today!!!!  It's supposed to be nice out today, so maybe we can at least spend some time in the fresh air!

Enjoy your day!

The card - tulip and leaves are from SU.  The stem is stamped directly on the white background.  The leaves and tulip are stamped on a piece of white and then punched out and popped up.  I used a bit of grunge on the background.  Black and white stripe is patterned paper.

'Grandma time' today.  That's it.

Have a terrific day!

'Grandma time' today - yay!  That's all.

Have a great day!


PS....woohoo Karen!  So glad you can see the grandkids again!!!!

Crafty Saturday - here is a wall hanging (wool applique) I did for winter.   (sorry, not a great picture)

.  Looks like we might have some sunshine  - woo hoo!  Really would like to get outside for some fresh air if it's not too cold!   In the mean time I'm going to do a little stamping.

Happy crafing!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Background is patterned paper.  Leaves are punched out, flower is stamped then cut out and popped up.  

Looks like a stay-at-home day for me today.  I did get out a bit yesterday - had to go to the grocery store and I went out for a walk two different times.  It was a beautiful day to be outside!  Today, it's raining and I don't need to go to the grocery store, so......   I did some stitching yesterday so I'm thinking about doing some knitting today.  (I really should be able to finish some projects during this craziness!!!)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The circle border is stamped in black.  The leaves and tiny flowers are stamped directly on the background.  The larger flowers are stamped, punched out and then popped up.  

Well, the govenor has officially put Colorado on a Stay-at-home order.  oh joy!  Not that things will change much for me - wasn't much of anywhere to go anyway since most stores were already closed.  We can still go to the grocery store,  and go outside for excercise, so I'm good!  Today.....hmmmm....the house is finally clean and the laundry is done!  Guess that means I can spend the day stamping, stitching or knitting.  Or maybe a combination of all three!!!!

Enjoy whatever it is you are still allowed to do!!!

The card - my favorite - black and white.  Stamped images are from SU.  The center stripes are patterned paper.  Flowers and leaves are stamped and then die cut.  Background is grunge stamps.

Trying to work up the ambition to clean house.  It really needs to be done, but somehow I just can't get motivated to do it.  I did strip the sheets off the bed, so that project will have to be done at least before I go to bed tonight - LOL! 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The background is sponged.  The flower and lily pad are stamped, colored with copics and die cut.  Some added twine, bling and a sentiment.

Sorry for posting so late today.  I got busy this morning and spaced it out!  I had a quite a stash of fat quaters of material left over from different projects.  A friend has been making masks for health care workers and I've been cutting the material to size for her to use.  Delivered a pile to her late this morning.  Just a way I can contribute.  If you are local and have material you would like to donate for this cause, let me know - I can pick it up and cut it to size for her to use.

On a bit of a happy note - the sun is shining today - woo hoo!  I've been walking at the mall all winter because I really do not like the cold.  Well, they closed the mall yesterday, so now walking there is out of the question.  But, since it's a fairly nice day out I managed to go for a walk outside and get some fresh air!  Yay!

It's all good!

The card - quick and easy.  Stamped images are from SU.  The flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up.  (oops, just noticed I forgot to put some bling in the center os the flowers!)

'Grandma time' today.  I will be glad when we see some sunshine and a bit warmer weather.  Not very spring-like here. Cloudy and rainy most days! I would love to be able to spend some time out doors in the sun!

Happy stampin'

Stamping day - hoping to be productive!

I've heard that we may be under a Shelter in Place order soon - ugh!  How many of you are already there? 

Happy stampin'

Crafty Saturday - here is one of my latest wool applique projects.  I just finished it awhile back and it's now resides on my dining room table.

'Grandma time' today - yay!  Wishing for a bit of sunshine today instead of rain, so we could spend some time outdoors.  But it's supposed to be pretty chilly, so I guess it will be an inside day!  Who cares...Grandma time is good no matter what!

Have a great day!

The card - background is sponged, stamped images (Unity) is stamped in black.  Added some black twine.  Easy peasy!

Still haven't cleaned the house....that was going to be my goal today....hmmm....not really in the mood!  We'll see if I can talk myself into it.  Think I'd rather be stitching or knitting or stamping!

So, tell me what you all are doing to keep yourself busy during this crazy time in our lives!  Are you still working?  My son is now working from home and my daughter-in-law is a mail carrier, she is still doing her regular job.  I feel so bad for all the people who have actually lost their jobs or the small businesses who have had to close. 

Have a good day!
