I'm Back!!!!!   Whew!  What a fun weekend.  Can't hardly believe Hudson is a year old.  The time is going by so fast!  But we celebrated for the entire weekend and had so much fun. The company left yesterday so now it's time to get back to real life.  Finishing the laundry and some house cleaning are in order today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - sorry, a bad picture - the scanner makes shadows from the bulk of the button.  The stamped images are from SU.  

Some extra'Grandma time' today.  The babysitter is under the weather and needs to go to the Dr. so I will have a helper (haha!) today.  Just a few extra chores to get done this morning and then a trip to the grocery store.  My company will be arriving mid afternoon and then the fun will begin!

I am going to take a short 'blog break' while my company is here.  I'll be back on Tuesday or Wednesday next week!

Have a great day (and weekend!)

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

The card - butterfly is a die cut.  The background is done by coloring with markers on a clear stamping block, spray with a bit of water and then stamp!  A fun technique for a fun background.  Try it.

A bit of clean-up today to get ready for class tonight but a big part of the day will be spent trying to figure out the online stuff of getting my orders from last night entered!  It was a fun evening and I even sol d a few things!  Yay!

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the flowers on the white panel and then drew the black lines with a fine marker.

Lots of chores to get done today - I'm not even sure where to start and I 'm not feeling very motivated this morning.  Hmmm...that's not good!

Have a terrific day!

The card - an easy one - the balloons are punched and popped up with a bit of added bling, some patterned paper at the bottom and a sentiment.  Easy peasy.

Have a marvelous day!

Project Sunday - the December mat from Black Sheep - all twelve months are done - woo hoo!

I can hardly wait to show you the table runner Emily helped me with yesterday - totally out of my box.  I still have to finish pinning it and then quilt it and put the binding on - again, totally out of my box!  But it's going to be cool!  It was hard work though, I was exhausted last night.  But THANK YOU Emily for spending the day helping me sew!

Today I really need to get some stamping done.  I just need to get myself motivated - maybe some more caffeine will help :)

Have a great day!

The card - a really easy one - the hello is a Hero Arts die cut.  The gray ones are flat, the yellow one is popped up.   Super simple!

Well, I didn't get any stamping done yesterday.  I got totally sidetracked - my computer has been acting funny so I spent the entire day trying to get the computer files and photo files all organized and backed up just in case the whole thing decides to crash.  Nice to have it done, but I sure am glad I don't have a job where I have to sit at a computer all day!  Today I really need to get some household chores done - time to do somethings about at least part of the dust bunnies.  Stamping will have to wait for a few more days.  Also will need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - the embossing folder I used for the background is from Hobby Lobby.  The stamped images on the panel are from Hero Arts and the sentiment is from Altnenew.  Just a simple black and white.

Wow - I have a totally free day and evening - that hasn't happened for a while.  And I didn't make a plan ....0h0h!  I think I should try and get some stamping done because I haven't had time to do much of that lately either!

Have a terrific day!

The card - sentiment is from SU.  Hearts are punched out, large heart is popped up on the tag.

Class this morning (and I need to get the table cleaned off!) and stitching at Hi Fashion tonight.  A busy day!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is a rather large table mat that I've worked on off and on for quite sometime.  Not sure why it kept getting put to the side, but I finally finished it!  Yay!

Another crafting day today.  And we're celebrating Deb and Emily's birthdays tonight.  More party fun!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - another of the free patterns we get each month at Black Sheep Sunday.  This mat is for September.

I'm working on getting some stitching projects together so I have something to work on in the coming week.  It always takes longer than I think, but I did get a couple cut out and put together and ready to stitch yesterday.  Maybe I can finish that up today and move on to some stamping :)

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Hudson at 10 months - he's standing on his own and taking steps - he'll be walking all over before long!

Well, the weekend plans got changed.  Our friend Sherry isn't coming over until next weekend, so I've ended up with a free weekend and no plans.  I'm thinking maybe I should get some stamping done!

Have a great day!
