The card - flower image is from Penny Black, sentiment is from Hero Arts.  Colors are white, blackberry and mossy meadow.

Well, I ended up taking someone's advice yesterday and I called Judy S to see if she wanted to do something more fun than just hanging around the house - she did - and we ended up going downtown, having lunch and just wandering up and down Main Street.  It was good to get out of the house and just do something fun!  

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped image is from Hero Arts.  Colors are white and kraft.  I thought this would make a good 'guy' card.

Off to an early morning Dr's appointment.  Not sure what I'm doing the rest of the day.  Plenty of things I should be doing, but I'm in the mood for something fun - hmmmm.....have no idea what that would be.

Have a great day!

The card - background stamps are from SU.  Swirl is from Papertrey.  Butterfly is Martha Stewart punch.  

I had planned on getting some work done in the yard today - hmmm...guess that's not going to happen since it rained and it seems it's supposed to rain even more.  Guess I will finish up some stuff in the house that I didn't get done yesterday.

Update on Tracy:  she is home and is now under a local Dr's care.

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  Background is printed paper.  A quick and simple one.

I'm going to try and work up the energy to get the house cleaned up a bit today.  I haven't been very motivated to do that lately and now it's getting a little out of control.

Have a wonderful day!

Misc Sunday - an old barn on the way to Grand Mesa

Update on Tracy -  Tracy and Tony are on their way home.  She was released from the hospital and they rented a car and left for Ohio yesterday around noon.  The Dr's felt more comfortable with the idea of them driving home than with Tracy being on an airplane.  She has an appointment with a Dr close to home tomorrow.

Have a terrific day!

Photo Saturday - at the Botanical Gardens

Off to another day of stitching.  Yesterday was fun, but tiring.  After stitching all day I just came home and vegged out in front of the TV.  Today will probably be a repeat, but I'm getting quite a bit of stitching done - yay!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white,  kraft and cantaloupe.  Butterflies are Martha Stewart punch.

Off for a day of stitching - looking forward to a fun day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I'm really enjoying the new in-colors from SU!

Need to get some chores done today so I can be ready to attend a two-day stitching event that starts tomorrow.

Update on Tracy - they've started the steroid treatment, now it's just a matter of waiting to see if it works!

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The background is stamped with lagoon, calypso and soft sky.  The tree and sentiment are stamped with black on top of the background.

Ya know, I've decided that this has been one of the worst summers ever.  I've been trying to think positive because I do know that things could be worse.  But yesterday my daughter ended up in the hospital.  She is in Fort Collins for a youth conference, hadn't been feeling well and ended up in the hospital so they could run tests and figure out what was wrong.  They figured out she has warm (auto immune) hemolytic anemia.  She will be in the hospital  until they can get it under control (fairly massive treatments of steroids).  She's hoping they will be able to return home to Ohio this weekend as they originally scheduled, but it will depend on how the treatments go.   So, please keep my daughter Tracy in your prayers.

The card - the chevron stamp is from SU - I inked it once and started at the bottom and just kept stamping, making it lighter as it got to the top.  Colors are white and lagoon.

Going to lunch with a friend that is visiting from out of town and then I will need to come home and get ready for class tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are blushing bride and basic gray.

I think I need to concentrate on getting some chores done today - the laundry needs to be finished, the lawn and flowers watered and most important I need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - I certainly haven't finished any projects lately, but my friend Sherry made this bag for me for my birthday.  It is so cool!  The inside is lined and has lots of pockets.  The bottom of this bag is actually knitted and then washed - it's amazing to see how it comes out!

So looking forward to our Black Sheep stitching group today.  It will be so good to see everyone - and get some stitching done too :)

Have a terrific day!

Photo Saturday - random Colorado scenery

Need to work on getting some stitching stuff ready for tomorrow.  And maybe I can even get some laundry done :)

Have a great day!

The card - background stamp is from SU, flower is from Inkadainkado.  Colors are lagoon, kraft, black and white.

Whew, most of the weeds are taken care of!  Yay!  It feels good to have that job done.  Today I need to work on getting some stitching stuff together - Deb will be here tonight and on Sunday we have an all-day stitching event - and I don't have anything put together to stitch on.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white, calypso and pistachio.  Butterflies are Martha Stewart punch.

Dealing with more weeds today - I got some done yesterday, now I need to work on the ones in the back.  But first I should get the class-room cleaned up so it will be done for class tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are kraft, pool party and lagoon.

No excuses today - I really need to deal with the weeds.  Then I can look forward to a friend's birthday dinner tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are strawberry, pear, calypso, kraft  and cantaloupe.  

Never got around to dealing with weeds yesterday - but I did get a little stamping done.  Maybe I can work up the energy to do something about the weeds today :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are basic gray, white and daffodil.

Have to go get a blood test this morning, then I probably should think about doing something about the weeds that are taking over my yard.  (I might only get as far as thinking about them though - it's supposed to be 100 degrees today - a little too hot to be dealing with weeds.)

Have a great day!

A happy quilt - there were so many beautiful quilts at the show in Montrose yesterday, but somehow this one just made me happy - all the bright, cheery colors, I guess!  

We had an awesome day - it's always fun to have our friend Sherry here, and this was a very short trip, but we managed to pack a lot of stuff into one day!  A great day - and another birthday celebration too!  Now, today I'm really going to try and get some stamping done :)

Have a great day!

The reason I'm showing you a picture of a quilt today is because we'll be off in a bit to see the Black Canyon Quilt Show in Montrose.  Our friend Sherry arrived last night and we are looking at a full day of fun - woo hoo!

I don't quilt, but I do appreciate the time and effort it takes to do these pieces of art.  It's always fun to see what quilters come up with for patterns and the use of colors!
