Enjoying my company!  Hudson & Ethan will be here a bit later so we will be enjoying the antics of 5 boys ages 4 - 13!   We're going to show them our local Lego store and then to the big water park!  A bbq at Jeff's tonight!  Looking forward to a fun fun day!

Have a great day!

My plans for the day got changed......hmm.  Have to regroup!  But first I'm off to a Farmer's  Market to restock my peach supply and get some fresh veggies.  My company is arriving tomorrow and I still have a couple of chores to do, but I still might manage to get some stamping time before the day is over!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  The rest of the pieces are die cuts (a new set from SU).  I thought this was kind of fun - looking forward to playing with it some more!

Hudson decided we should go bowling yesterday - I'm not much a bowler, but I have fun doing it with the boys!  We each won one game - thank goodness for the bumper rails we get to use for the kids  😂.  The boys are camping this weekend and I need to get  ready for company that is arriving on Sunday!  

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday - these are my favorite flowers that I planted this year!    I hope the nursery has them again next year because I think they're a keeper!

Baking this morning - banana bread and apple zucchini bread.  The zucchini bread is a new recipe - anxious for it to come out of the oven to taste test!  I'll get to the stamp room in a bit - still have to finish getting kits ready for class on Tuesday!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Sunday - 

Hoping to get a few chores done this morning before church, then I think it's going to be a lazy afternoon.   A nap and a book sound good!

The card - card front is embossed.  Smaller piece is matted patterned paper.  Leaves are die cut.  Flower image is stamped, colored with copics, die cut and popped up.  

Time to work on my list of chores!  The garage needs a bit of straightening up - I tend to stash things out there without really putting them away neatly....it's gotten a bit messy.  So, that's my goal for today, along with a trip to the grocery store.  Tonight we'll go see the fireworks in Fruita.  

Have a great day!

The card - background is a new embossing folder from SU.  I embossed the piece first and then rubbed a white ink pad over the top.  Added a sentiment and some ribbon.  Super easy!

A totally free day.....hmmmmm....so many choices of things to do.  I have a list of chores I want to get done in the coming days but I also have new stamps to play with.   I guess I'll have a little more caffeine and then decide:)

Have a great day!

Chores this morning and then some relaxing time with the Needle Keepers.   I can't believe it's the first of July....time is going by much too fast.  Have to say June was a terrific birthday month.  So much birthday love came my way!  It was wonderful!  I have such wonderful family and friends!

Have a great day!
