Saturday Quote.......

We had a great time at the Covered Bridge Farm yesterday.  There were hardly any people there so there were no lines, the boys got to do everything several times!  And we got some really awesome pumpkins.   It was a fun day!  Today, we are just hanging out (their choice).  It's supposed to rain, so I guess it's a good day to be indoors.  Just a lazy day.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - strips of patterned paper, a die cut sentiment piece, some twine and a bit of bling.  Super easy!

No school today so the boys and I are headed to the Covered Bridge pumpkin farm in Montrose today.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - the design on the right is die cut.  The leaves are die cut from patterned paper.  Add some ribbon, a bit of bling and a stamped, die cut sentiment.

Off to work this morning.  Not sure what I'll be motivated to do this afternoon.  I probably should think about mowing the lawn and doing some laundry.  Hmmmm.....maybe!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper with a piece of embossed cardstock at the top.  Leaves are die cut.  Add some twine and a stamped, die cut sentiment.

A stay at home day.  I need to get cards done for class this month!  However, I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do Christmas cards when it's still 80 degrees outside and the flowers are still blooming.  We'll see how it goes!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  Bats and lettering are die cuts.  super easy!

Grocery shopping and family dinner tonight.  Not sure what I'm doing in between.  Still have to figure that out.   

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - some Halloween pumpkins I made this week for the gift shop at the hospital.

Soup lunch at church today so I'm busy making soup and cookies.  No big plans for this afternoon.  I was not very productive yesterday, I just couldn't seem to get in the groove - so maybe I will try to get some cards done this afternoon.  We'll see!

Have a wonderful day!

Looking forward to a day of stamping with my friend Karen.  It's been awhile!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple white card.  I embossed this panel twice an then hand cut the big flower out of one.  I popped the hand cut flower up on the other one, added some bling, and a stamped sentiment piece.  

Off to work again this morning - a few extra hours filling in for another volunteer.  Tonight we're working on our first calendar pages for next year.  We've been doing these calendars for many years, some of the participants have changed, but I'm so glad we still get together to do them!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed.  The web, spider and letters are all die cut.  The sentiment piece is stamped, die cut and then popped up.  Add a bit of bling.

Off to work this morning.  No further commitments after that today but I do have to clean up the mess I made crafting yesterday!  I will say I was pretty productive though :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background panels are patterned paper.  Flowers and stems are die cut.  Add a stamped, die cut sentiment piece, some ribbon and some twine.

Off to get a haircut first thing this morning.  And then, a totally free day!  Goodness, not sure what I'm doing today.  I keep changing the plan.  Thinking I 'm just going to spend the day crafting - not sure exactly what yet, but I have lots of fall stuff I want to get done.  I'll figure it out soon :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper with a die cut border in the center.  Circle is die cut with a stamped sentiment.   Leafy stems are die cut from patterned paper.  Add some ribbon.

Chores this morning - mostly finishing up the Halloween decorations.  A relaxing afternoon with the Needle Keepers will be the highlight of the day!

The card - background is embossed.  The arch shape is die cut and some background stamps used for color.  The bottom piece is patterned paper.  The leaves a re die cut from patterned paper.  Add a die cut sentiment piece and some twine.

No school today so that means the boys and I can have another day of fun.  Not sure what we're doing - we had planned on driving up to the mountains to see some fall color but evidently it's supposed to rain.  :(   I guess we may have to revise out plan!  I'm sure we'll think of something.  

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday ....

Two days of birthday celebrations - we had lots of fun!  Today will be rather calm in comparison :)   Off to church later this morning and then I'm going to try and get some crafting done this afternoon.  That's the plan, anyway!

Have a great day!

Another day of celebrating!  We're off to get donuts for breakfast, then downtown to the Lego store and the candy store.  Blowing up balloons and decorating is first on the list when we get back to the house.  Family dinner tonight (homemade chicken & noodles).  A fun day all the way 'round!  Love birthdays!

Have a fantastic day!

The card - small background panel is stamped.  The ears are all die cut.  Add a stamped sentiment.

Today is the beginning of Ethan's birthday weekend. He turns 6 today - hard to believe!  Because his Mom is working today and his dad is in a golf tournament we're having his family birthday dinner tomorrow night, but we have plenty of fun stuff planned for today.  I will pick them up from school this afternoon, then we're planning on attending the school carnival a bit later.  Ethan gets to pick where we have dinner, then they're spending the night which means a movie before bed!  Yep, a full, fun day!

Have a great day!
