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 🙂

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 🙂

Beautiful Day

We are off and running on this bright and beautiful spring day!  We are expecting temps around 55 degrees!

These calendar pages make me look in the discounted calendars to see if any would make good cards.  Can’t seem to find a Kraft one 😦

We changed the saying of this stamp a little from “the bright” to “a bright”.  Hopefully the new stamps will be on the website later this week.  Orders first 🙂  New Easter stamps will be showcased later this week.  Sold well in Allentown so that is always a good sign.

Good Evening!

Allentown PA certainly brighten our lives this weekend!  It was so fun to see those fun and fabulous friends that we have made there over the years.  Our Make n Take Tables were so much fun!

so I’m off to get a good nights sleep so that I can hit the road running in the morning.  Emails to answers, special orders to get out, internet orders to get out, wholesale orders to get out, paper work to do, toy haulers to clean up…I think we’ll be busy!

We have been frantically making stamps before we leave in the morning.  We got a small batch of new stamps today too!  I’m itching to stamp with them but it will probably have to wait till Tuesday next week.

Good Morning!  No SNOW here PLEASE!  🙂  It seems like it is going to miss us. 🙂

We are concerned about travel on Wednesday so we are watching it closely.  Busy getting ready for the Allentown, PA convention.  For those of you attending, we are planning a very BIG make n take area.  My usual help, Keith and Joyce (who are awesome!) will be there. I also have another set of Heather and Penny coming to help out too!  We are hoping to have 4 – 5 tables set up for make n takes so get ready to make some cards!

Friendship, Hello, Just a Note

happy day to you

Ok so it really helps to have a really cool calendar to cut up!  Love the craft paper calendar.  This card makes me think of spring!  I believe today is the first day of spring.  Not that New England area feels like spring but WI is feeling a little springy!
