Have a safe and 
Happy Halloween!

Thursday, October 30, 2014




The card - leaves are from an old SU set.  The leaves are stamped, sponged, cut out and popped up.  

I ended up getting absolutely nothing done yesterday - how the heck did that happen?  I did have a really nice dinner out with Jeff & Sara and Sara's Mom though!  Tonight I'm going out for dinner again with a friend that is visiting from out of town.  That will be fun.  I guess I probably should try to get something done during the day......or not!

Have a great day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the images and then punched them out with SU's hexagon punch.  The hexagons are popped up.

Think I will try to get started on class projects today.  Hope I can be productive!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU, stamped with black, colored with copics.  Colors are white and calypso coral.  

Not sure what I'm doing today - have some odds and ends of chores that I need to get done so it might be a good day for that.  Then I will need to get ready for class tonight.  Nothing too exciting, but probably enough to keep me busy today!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Colors are tangelo and espresso.  

Gosh, I had such a good time over the weekend.  A big thank you to Deb for inviting me and to Sherry for being such a wonderful hostess.  I really don't want to return to the 'real world', but I guess I must.   A trip to the grocery store is a top priority since there is not even a slice of bread in the house.  I'll move on from there I guess.

Have a fabulous day!

On our way home today.   What a fun weekend!  Shopping, eating, visiting and especially spending time with friends.  Couldn't ask for more.  The photos are from a new wool shop that has just opened in Windsor - oh my, my credit card took a hit here.  A great place to shop for wool and patterns!





Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - loved this fall display in Johnstown, CO

Having way too much fun here - shopping all day yesterday - oh my, not good for my credit card :)  But an awful lot of fun.  Ended with dinner at Five Guys (yummy!) and then a little stitching while watching the World Series.  A perfect day!  Now, we're off for a little more shopping and then back for some stitching time.

Have a terrific day!

Having a wonderful time with our friend Sherry!  She is such an awesome hostess.  It's been good to get away from home :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is from SU, leaves are a SU die cut and strip is washi tape.  The flower is stamped in black, colored with copics, cut out and popped up.

Made it to Sherry's safe and sound.  Hit a bit of rain and even a little snow, but all in all a good trip.  Today Sherry has some friends coming over to stitch with us and tonight we'll be cheering the Broncos on!  Feels good to be away from home for a bit :)

Have a terrific day.

The card - background splotches are from SU.  Leaf is punched out, distressed and popped up.  Colors are white, smoky slate, bermuda bay and cajun.  

And we're off.......well, in a bit.  Deb will be picking me up this afternoon and we'll be off to the eastern slope to see our friend Sherry.  Yay!  So excited.  In the meantime, I need to get my suitcase packed!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped leaf is from SU.  I used an embossing folder for the panel on the left and added some sponging after embossing.

Whew - the closet is finally finished.  Good thing too, because Deb invited me to go to the eastern slope with her to see our friend Sherry and I need to get my act together today in order to be ready to leave tomorrow.  I am so excited!  Haven't been anywhere since the fateful trip to California and I am so looking forward to a bit of vacation - and of course seeing our friend Sherry!  Woo hoo!

Have a terrific day!

The card  - leaves are from SU.  Colors are honey, cajun and meadow.  A simple single layer card.

How about those Broncos?  And Peyton Manning!  It was a great football day yesterday for Denver fans!

Ok, I'm tired of the mess I've made going thru clothes so today I'm going to finish up the closet.  Everything is washed, it just needs to be put away.  I should be able to get  that done today, right?   With any luck I'll have it all done in time to get ready for class tonight :)

Have a great day!

Misc Sunday - more of Grand Mesa  (this angle is called stop in the middle of the road and take a picture thru the windshield)  

I keep finding things to do besides dealing with the closet and fall clothes.....nothing exciting, mind you......hmmmm.....maybe I'll just ignore the whole situation and it will magically get done....ha!ha!  Maybe today.....or not!

Have a super fantastic day!

Photo Saturday - Grand Mesa  (at Powderhorn)

Somehow I still haven't gotten the seasonal clothes taken care of and I've been trying for 3 days.  But, I seem to keep getting sidetracked so it still isn't done.  I'm going to try my best to get that done today :)

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU.  The flagged piece is popped up on the front panel.  Colors are honey and white.

Need to finish up some chores today and then I can relax and enjoy an evening of stitching with Emily and Deb.  Yay!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background script stamp and leaves are from Hero Arts, sentiment is from SU.  I stamped the leaves, cut them out and then sponged the edges.  The panel and sentiemtn pieces are also sponged.  

I ended up doing errands yesterday, so today I think I better stay home and get some chores done.  I think it's time to put away the summer clothes and dig out some fall stuff.  We've been having some nice fall weather, but it's still quite chilly, especially in the mornings. I should be able to get some chores done before it's time to get ready for class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - flower is from SU.  The flower is stamped in black, colored with Copics.  The mat on the front panel is black.  

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing today.  There's nothing on my calendar and I guess I really hadn't thought about it....I guess I better think of something to do or else the day will go by and I will have accomplished nothing - and that wouldn't really be a good thing :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - super simple - a little grunge on the background square, a punched leaf and some washi tape.  Colors are limeade and island indigo.

Class this morning and then again tonight - maybe I can finish up the laundry in between.

Have a fantastic day!

The card - stamped flower is from SU.  I stamped the image in black and colored with Copics.  Ribbon and accent piece are lagoon.

A productive and fun weekend - I stamped all day on Saturday (productive) and stitched all day on Sunday (fun).  Now it's time for laundry, some yard work and stamp club tonight with Deb.  Should be another productive day (I hope) ending with a fun evening :)

Have a wonderful day!

If you would like to see my son Jeff's photographs up close and in person, just go downtown to the Aspen Photo Art Gallery inside Main Street Bagels.  He has over a dozen of his photographs on display in 'the vault' portion of the gallery.  (they will be there through December)  Jeff has also been invited to display his photos at the Denver Photo Art Gallery on Santa Fe Drive.  Woo hoo!
