Friendship, Frogs & Bugs, Hello, Just a Note

Good Morning!  It’s been a crazy week!  We are trying to get ready for the Colorado show and then to leave for a few days without thinking about work.  We leave this afternoon for our annual church convention and we will not think about working at all.  And it takes a little bit of work to arrange it all!

I have been wanting to try little index cards for some time now and they are so fun, so quick, and so easy!

Enjoy!

Beautiful Morning

Birthday, Creatures

Good Monday Morning!  It’s a beautiful day here in WI.  Sunny and somewhere in the mid 60’s.  We had a great weekend with lots of young kids here for the weekend.  Projects are on hold for a little…we are going to our annual church convention this weekend and next week we leave for Colorado so the building stops for a while.

This morning brings a birthday card with our father owl.  Stamps Used:  DD58 Owl w/ Tie; G265 Happy Birthday Mega Circle; G328 Esp. for You Border; JJ17 & HH31 Chevron borders; E270   Happy and Wonderful Birthday Wishes.

Well, orders to get out, stamps to be made…seems like a repeat of Friday!

Oldie but Goodie

Hello

oldie

Today we have an oldie but goodie card!  I found this while cleaning out the cupboards in the kitchen!  Found a stack of cards…not sure what they were doing in the kitchen cupboards ??!  I needed to clean the cupboards out since I’m losing a big pantry in the kitchen plus the cabinet above the fridge so there was a need to get rid of stuff!  The new pantry/mudroom is coming along nicely…walls are all painted.  We had to bring some electricity into the room since there wasn’t any and that is progressing nicely.

Now Kevin and I are going on a date!  We are headed to the demolition derby…haven’t done something like that in…well, probably before we were married! 🙂  Have a great weekend!

Halloween

So I’ve had some difficulty this week with my computer that is at the house; hence the lack of blog yesterday!  My hard drive is full but Karissa is coming this weekend and she will get me all fixed up!  Nice to have kids that can fix our computer issues 🙂

Today we have a halloween card…back to school always makes me think of halloween since it’s basically the first holiday once school starts.  I used to hand sew halloween costumes for my kids every halloween.  I think I still have a box of them in the basement.  THAT needs to be tossed out or sent to goodwill 🙂

Our projects in the house continue…the crown molding is going up in the living room and looks fantastic.  We’ve started on the mudroom/pantry but I’m having trouble deciding on what colors to paint so we’ve had a little hold up there.  I painted the ceiling a nice sunny yellow but I’m thinking we may have to repaint.  I think it is the cause of my difficulty 😦

Off to work!

I love this sketch and steno card because I use 12×12 paper to make my cards and so I can cut at 4.25″  then cut at 11″  Score at 5.5″ and then the leftover 1.00×4.25″ goes across the top of card!

Good Tuesday to You!  Here is my sketch inspiration for today.  Feeling quite rested from the long weekend and ready to tackle the new week.  I had one day (Sunday) of my house being in order and we are back to chaos!  We completely emptied the mudroom yesterday and today we will begin the build out in there.  But first there are orders to send out and stamps to be made!
