So Sorry!

Birthday

happy day1

happy day2

Good Morning!  We had a beautiful weekend!  I’m so sorry I didn’t blog on Friday.  My laptop has been acting up and it needs to go to the repair shop.  It seems it might be an easy fix so I just need to find the time to go to town now 🙂  Lucky my computer in the shop is still working.

Today’s card will be added to the Make n Take schedule.  It’s a fun frog card.  Stamps Used:  BB54 KB’s Flies sm, J30 Happy Day Banner, B204 Time’s Fun, D231 KB’s Frog Med, D228 Hoppy Birthday, F205 Birthday Toad-ally

I had a great time with my brother and friend Lorna on Thursday!

Another Grad Card

Graduation

Good Morning!  We have another Star Graduation card this morning.  I want to make a birthday card with the star cards…we will see how the day goes 🙂

We have a big day today.  My brother is in the area (well not too close but a 45 minute drive so not too bad!) and we’ve been invited down to have supper with him.  The area where he is has GOOD SHOPPING!  I love good shopping so I can’t go down there without a little shopping 🙂  Working frantically so I can do a bit of shopping before supper 🙂

Stamps Used:  DD69 Grad Fun Cube, DD60 Lines & Dots Circles, HH29 Star Border

Have a great day!

Owl Graduation

Well, Good Evening.  It is past bedtime and I remembered I hadn’t blogged yet so I uploaded this lovely card only to see a shadow in it :(.  So I apologized for that!

We made stamps today and I was in charge of supper.  We always have bible study on Wednesday too so pretty soon the day was gone!  I’m not sure how it happened but life seems to be speeding up.

Stamps Used:  E256 KB’s Bookish Owl, C234 ConGRADulations, And both theLarge and Small Graduation Hat.

We are working on some new graduations stamps and I’m excited about them 🙂

Almost went to bed without blogging!  It was that busy of a day.  We finished the floor in the dining room, did some more painting and worked in the shop.

Sarah from The Paper Cut, Inc was up yesterday and brought me some of their new swinging z fold cards.  This is the star card.  Pretty cool.  I was a little annoyed because I couldn’t find my black pigment ink so I could wet emboss the words.  I ended up using my silver ink pad with black powder and the words still came out silver 😦  Need to get a new black pigment ink pad!

Stamps Used:  G324 Congrats and Best Wishes Border, H125 Grad hat border, EE17 Stars,  DD63 dots & circles, DD69 Grad Fun Cube

Kathy’s Card

Easter

Kathy's Easter

Good Evening!  Today’s card comes from Kathy in SC!  A sweet Easter card.  Stamps Used:  HH27 Whumsy Daisy Lg, EE44 KB’s Bunny w/ radish

We had a very busy weekend!  We painted the entire Dining Room and then began replacing the floor with hardwood floors.  Choosing colors for the walls is always fingernail biting work!  I actually took the curtains to Home Depot and had them match a color on the curtains.  I love Behr Paint and Primer.  I’m also a big Oops Paint buyer.  So all in all I only have $40 in paint so far. I had two gallons of oops red paint…but one was too pink and the other was two orange.  So we mixed them and it was perfect.  Love when that happens. As soon as we finish…I’ll show you pictures.

Think Spring!

Triple Circle cards from The Paper Cut!  I do have the die but prefer to use Paper Cut paper in solid colors…just easier…instant gratification 🙂

We are finishing up a big wholesale order today and then doing a little re-modeling!  Got my painting clothes on today but Kevin said the walls in the Dining Room are not quite ready so we are moving to the Master Bedroom Closet.  The floors need re-doing, walls need re-painting, and moving some things around are far as organization.  So Excited!  Love Re-Modeling 🙂

Have a great weekend!

 

Oh My!

Easter

Oh My!  We have had a beautiful day today here in Wisconsin!  Beautiful Sunshine and around 60 degrees!  Not too hot and not too cold…about perfect.

So I played a little hooky!  Well not completely…we had a vulcanizer (our rubber cooker!) burst a hose and so yesterday we took it to town to be fixed.  They put the wrong end on it so I had to go back to town to get it fixed again 🙂  Now, those of you who live in big cities…probably don’t feel my pain…but going to town takes a half a day around here because of the distance. So if I’m going to lose a couple of hours of work might as well make it 4-6 hours …right?!  I stole my niece and we went shopping.  Nothing for me but a new dress for her and  a bunch of memories 🙂

Today’s card is inspiration from Marge at the Allentown show.  She suggested the bows and I loved the idea so had to do it.  Thanks  Marge!  I really want to change the twine to a blue twine too 🙂

Stamps Used:  DD80 Easter Fun Cube sm, DD63 Dots & Lines, FF43 KB’s Bunny Head, D311 Happy Easter & Beautiful Spring, CC72 KB’s Bunny Head mini, A244 KB’s Bow Sm

Catching Up

We are catching up a little bit at a time…our trucks have been going in to town for service and so that takes up way too much time.  I feel like every time I turn around we are going to town to take a car in to be worked on 🙂  LIFE! So today we have to go back to town (after two trips yesterday) to pick up my truck.

We got all the special orders out yesterday.  So if you special ordered a stamp at Allentown you should have it on Friday or Saturday.  Most of the internet orders have gone out…I still have a couple I’m working on.  They will go out today.

We do have the toy hauler cleaned out, sheets & towels washed and put back in.  Refridge emptied and cleaned out.  Gasp!  it’s like cleaning a second home 🙂  Now comes the  laundry and cleaning of the house and shop.  What can I say…LIFE!

Stamps Used:  EE44 KB’s Bunny w/ radish, J35 Live, Laugh, & Love..for those of you with a brother machine…the tag is one of the patterns.  Remember for those of you contemplating a machine…you change the size of the tag too 🙂
