Yard work this morning, lunch with my friend Gail, and then some errands. Guess that's enough to keep me busy today.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from Unity. Colors are kraft, black & vanilla. I used a couple strips of Tim Holtz tissue tape above the printed paper.

Time to get class projects done for next month. I cannot believe it's almost September - this summer seems to have gone by even faster than most! Now I have to think fall and Halloween.

Have a great day!

Scrappin' Sunday - this is a page I put together yesterday with pictures from Country Jam. I really wished I had a black cowboy hat die cut to put on there, but maybe I can add one later!

Yesterday was great fun - the whole gang was here! I laughed so much my stomach hurt! Great food - Kelli's chicken spaghetti was very yummy! And I got some pages done - yea! It was a good day. Haven't quite figured out what I'm doing today.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - and yet another sunset picture.

A crop day! Yay! The 'good time girls' are coming to crop so it will be a fun day.

Happy scrappin'

Deb & her family are coming for dinner tonight - we're celebrating her husband Pat's birthday. Pat is one of those special guys in my life - he mows & trims my gigantic yard each and every week! So, yes, he gets chicken & noodles for his birthday dinner. Plus chocolate cake and ice cream. The noodles are made, the chicken is cooked so all I have to do today is bake the cake and make the icecream. Happy Birthday Pat!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - this is an old Penny Black stamp that Judy S brought over for me to play with - I love it! It was a bit time consuming adding a bit of color here and there, but well worth the effort! Colors are concord and mustard.

Errands today, including the grocery store. Company for dinner tomorrow night so I think I'll get some of the preparation done today!

Happy stampin'

A little yard work this morning and then I will need to get myself organized for class tonight.

Have a great day!

Not sure what I'm doing today - I had planned on finishing up the yard work but it's still so wet from the rain yesterday that I may have to wait on that. (what a shame!) So, maybe I'll try to work on some class projects.

Enjoy your day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a digital page. This was a template that I downloaded for SU's digital software (MDS). All I had to do was drag and drop the picture. How easy is that! (I wish I had changed the colored strip to blue though - think it would have looked better with the picture.

More yard work today.

"If you water it and it dies, then it's a plant. If you pull it up and it still comes back it's a weed!"

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - 'the girls'. At our bbq on Tuesday we decided we needed a group shot, so we set up the tripod and got a little silly. I've been friends with these wonderful ladies for over 20 years and I treasure our times together.

Well, I've put it off long enough. I've run out of excuses so I guess it's time........yep, today is yard work day. Oh joy!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamp is from SU (Echoes of Kindness). Colors are kraft and daffodil. Background flowers are stamped with versamark. A really easy one!

Have some paper work I need to get done this morning and then a few errands. I have a really big mess on my table from making just a few cards so I guess I better try to get that cleaned up too!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU (Just Believe). Colors are not quite navy, garden green and pumpkin pie.

Well, I really had planned on doing yard work today - but.......it's raining. Oh darn! So I guess it's on to plan B - which I haven't figured out yet. I could always go shopping again - yuk! I did find a couple of skirts I really liked, now the problem is finding something to go with them. That's a job for another day though - I need a break between shopping trips. I guess I'll get things ready for class tonight and then see what I'm inspired to do.

Happy stampin'

The card - flower stamp is from Unity, sentiment is SU. Colors are not quite navy, pear pizzazz and peach parfait.

A haircut this morning and then I guess it's time to start looking for something to wear to the wedding (Tracy says I cannot wear jeans & a sweatshirt - dang!) Shopping for dress clothes ranks right up there with doing yard work - in fact I think I'd rather do yard work! But, I will go and give it a try today. Wish me luck!

Enjoy your day!

Have a great day!

The card - another 'old' columbine stamp I found in my drawer. Decided to use it with the Tim Holtz brick embossing folder.

A trip to the post office this morning and then I can finish up the wedding invites and get them in the mail. Yay! It will be good to have that done. Then I need to get things set up for class tonight.

Happy stampin'

Project Sunday - this is one of the birthday gifts I did this last week. Stamps are from SU (Just Believe & Inspired by Nature). Colors are olive, daffodil and black.

All the parts and pieces of the invites are printed, cut and ready to assemble. But.....I can't go any further 'til I have the postage stamps. Why didn't I remember to get those on Friday? Duh! So I will have to finish putting things together tomorrow after a trip to the post office. Guess I will use the time today to get some household chores (like laundry) done. Maybe I can multi-task and do some stamping too!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Satuday - the colors in this sunset a couple weeks ago were just amazing.

Wedding invitations.........does it tell you anything that I'm almost wishing I could take a break from them and do some yard work? (you notice I did say almost) Just a couple more days though and I should be done! So....back to work.

Enjoy your day!

I thought at first I would try to get some yard work done today - however I have two birthday gifts to get done this week, a project for our Shoebox Club and the wedding invitations to finish. So.......once again I'm putting off the yard work and working on the things that have to be done in a timely fashion. (the weeds will just get a bit taller and be easier to pull I guess!)

Have a great day!

The card - found this very old columbine stamp (Stampa Rosa) the other day and since it had never been used (oh shame!) I decided it needed to see some ink! Stamped with black, colored with amethyst.

Class this morning and then again tonight. Hopefully some time to do a little more work on the wedding invites in between.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU - sentiment is from Papertrey. Colors are marina mist and not quite navy.

I had quite the productive day yesterday - actually managed to get a bit of yard work done in the morning and then had a lovely afternoon stamping with Judy. I really had planned on doing some more yard work this morning, but once again the rain has made for a change of plans. I have some errands I need to do so that will take some time this morning. Then it's back to work on Tracy's wedding invites. (those little suckers are taking a bit longer to put together than I had thought!)

Happy stampin'

Scrappin Sunday - I don't often use bright colors but it's fun when I have pictures that work with fun patterns and bright colors. This layout was done using a Becky Higgins sketch.

Well I had planned on doing some yard work this morning - now it's just a bit wet from the rain. Oh darn! Guess I will just have to skip ahead to stamping with Judy this afternoon. That will be much more fun anyway!

Happy scrappin'

Photo Saturday - a shot of Mt Garfield. Took this photo last weekend when I decided I really needed some fresh Palisade peaches - oh yum! - can't beat them! Drove to Palisade along the back roads and stopped several times to take some photos.

Oh my, have so much to do this weekend I don't know where to start. Class projects, Tracy's wedding invites, yard work - and that's just the most important stuff. Guess I better pick one and get to work!

Enjoy your weekend!

The card - stamped images are from SU - colors are pear, marina mist and peach parfait.

Let's see, I have two choices of things to do today - yard work and class projects. Yep, I think I'm going with the class projects. Have to get those done before next week and the yard work will still be there. (isn't it always?)

Have a great day!

The card - flower and sentiment are from ??? - can't remember which company these came from. It's one of the sets I bought on our trip to Denver and now that they are out of the package I have no idea! Colors are marina mist, pear pizzazz and white.

Have a wonderful day.

Lots of odds and ends I need to get done this morning and then maybe some stamping time this afternoon.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
