The card - stamped image and background paper are from SU. The flowers are stamped with basic gray and I added just a bit of color with a marker.
Ugh - snow! The snow we got in December was just beginning to melt and now there's more! I did get my errands done yesterday - finished up just as it was beginning to snow. Good timing. I never did get around to paperwork or stamping, so maybe I can do one of those today. Looking forward to Friday night crafting with Deb and Emily tonight.
Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU. I stamped the image in black, then colored with markers.
Yesterday was a much needed break - lots of fun and a totally relaxing day! Thanks Judy S for an awesome day! Not sure what direction I'm headed today. Have some errands I need to do, but it's supposed to rain/snow for the next couple of days so I may just stay home and try to get started on some paper work for taxes - or do some stamping.
Enjoy your day!

The card - embossing folders and stamped image are from SU. The oval was embossed and then the center punched out so the stamped image on the card shows. Colors are Island Indigo and white.
I had quite the stamping marathon yesterday but now it's time to get that mess cleaned up and get the room ready for class tonight. Hopefully I can work in another 'stamping day' later in the week.
Have a great day!

Before and after - the laundry/sewing/utility/storage room

Before - ugh - dark brown paneling and cupboards and orange kitchen carpet that had been in there from the time we added this room to the house in 1976.
After: a little paint, new floor and a new window made a big difference. The laundry area had some folding doors and I removed those to leave that area open.

Photo Saturday - just outside Ouray, Colorado starting up Red Mountain Pass
Hoping to finish up the laundry room today. I got a little sidetracked - decided I needed some of those white cube things with drawers that they sell at Michael's. I have to admire people that have a whole wall (or room) done with those things - it would take forever to put that many together! I started out with two and decided I needed two more - so I only did a total of 4, but it took me most of the afternoon. But now they're done and I can get the rest of the room put together and cleaned up and maybe even do some laundry :)
Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from Hero Arts. Colors are white and turquoise.
Taking a break from the garage today. It's by no means done and it really doesn't look much different, but everything is sorted into new piles. Now all the stamping stuff, Christmas stuff, household stuff, etc. are all together in their own little section which will make it much easier to deal with. I'm going to work on the laundry room today - it has become the 'catch-all' place for everything I didn't know what to do with and it really needs to be cleaned up!
Have a wonderful day!

The card - let's think spring! Flower and sentiment are from SU. Colors are olive and primrose (I think).
Back to the garage - I think I have a bigger mess than I started with. I've got stuff scattered everywhere - I've been unpacking some of the boxes so that stuff is all over the class room. Now I have to decide what to use, what to get rid of and what goes back in a box. Oh my.
Have a wonderful day.

The card - just one more wintry one (I'm hoping we don't see any more snow around here!) White on white - snowflake is Martha Stewart punch. (sorry about the bad shadow)
Made some progress on the garage yesterday - now if I just keep my momentum going. There sure is a lot of stuff out there, but just getting it a little organized will help tremendously.
Have a great day.

The card - flowers are from SU. Background dots are from Glitz. Colors are white, basic gray, pool party, limeade and coral.
Jeff came over yesterday and finished up a couple of closets so that is one more job finished! Yay! Today I'm hoping to get some work done in the garage - it would be good if I can just get the stuff sorted so I know where things are.
Enjoy your day.

The card - large flower is from Penny Black. Small flowers are from Unity. Colors are white and baja.
Don't have much on my calendar this week so I'm hoping to get a lot of odds and ends of stuff done around the house. It's supposed to warm up a bit so I'm hoping to be able to deal with some of the stuff in the garage at some point. I have a few errands to do this morning, then I'll get things set up for class tonight and then maybe I can at least make a plan for for the rest of the week.
Have a wonderful day!

The card - another simple winter scene - stamped image is from Hero Arts. Colors are white and indigo.
Looking forward to a fun day of stitching.....Laura has started a new group called Little Ewes for people who would rather get together on a week day than on a Sunday. I, of course am willing to stitch any day. So. Emily and I are going to try out the new group today instead of doing our regular Friday night thing.
Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers and leaves are from SU. Embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby. Colors are real red, turquoise and olive.
It seems it's time to do laundry again - what is up with that? It seems like I just did laundry. I've decided the winter clothes must take up more room in the laundry basket and it fills up much faster......anyway, guess that will be my job today. Will need to get ready for class tonight at some point too.
And I must wish my friend Deb a Happy Birthday today!
Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU. Colors are midnight muse, limeade, kraft and white. The embossing folder I used on the background is from Hobby Lobby.
I'm beginning to think I should have kept one of the two dining room tables I had. I have been to every furniture store in town and cannot find a table I want, or in the one case that I really liked the table it was way out of my price range. hmm....looks like I will be using the card table for a while longer.
Have some errands to do this morning and then maybe I can get some things done around the house.
Have a wonderful day.

The card - flowers and leaves are from SU. The embossed background is done with a new embossing folder I picked up at Hobby Lobby a while back. Colors are white, kraft and pear.
Full day today - class this morning and again tonight. I'm hoping that in between I will have the motivation to go and look for a dining room table. (I'm still using a card table so I really need to get that done!)
Have a great day.

The card - tree image is from Hero Arts. The image is stamped with navy on white then layered on navy and then on another layer of white. The card is navy.
I really need to get some more stamping done today. Hopefully I can be a little more productive than I was last week. Not sure where the ol' stampin' mojo went but maybe it will come back today :) One can only hope!
Have a great day!

Project Sunday - another snowman that is all stitched and ready to be made into a pillow or wall hanging.
Looking forward to a full day of stitching today - woo hoo! I'm really glad we were able to keep the Black Sheep group together after Laura closed her shop. It's a great group of ladies and I always enjoy stitching with them. I may have to leave a bit early though - can't miss the entire play-off game today - Go Broncos!
Have a wonderful day.
