flower card

I did cut my flower out on the brother scan and cut.  I do LOVE that machine.  So easy to use.  Remember if you order one until June 21st Brother will send you a $20 Visa Pre-Paid Card.  We are offering free shipping on our website.  Just type in brother in the search and from there you can order it!

Taste Good!

good evening!  Orange and Red…I purchased some kitchen towels that were orange and red and thought it would make a great color combo for a card…and it does.  Humid and Hot weather here in Green Bay today.  No storms so far but thunderstorms are predicted for tonight.

This was a great gift that I got at my 50th birthday party!  How fun is that?? Kevin has most of the candy eaten! I might have helped a little bit too!

Good Morning!  So here’s another new stamp that is coming out!

So for those of you who know your grammar…:) thanks for letting me know about the grammar problem with the stamp from our post on Friday!  The day was Friday the 13th, a full moon, and MY 50th Birthday!  Hard to believe I’m that old but it’s true…my sister couldn’t let the day go by without a party!

so I survived the party and re-made the stamp!

lot’s going on this week with my sister getting married!  We have a fabulous day for Green Bay today -80 degrees and sunny.  We had a really productive weekend around the house and I will be showing you some of the things we have done later this week.

Also a GOOD offer from Brother.  They are offering a pre-paid visa card for $20 with the purchase of the Brother Scan and Cut until June 21st.  We are putting the machine on our website so you can purchase it directly from us if you would like!  I LOVE the machine and from everyone who has purchased one…I have been hearing the same thing.  We will offer them for $449.00 for the  CM250.  We are not charging shipping as of yet so a great deal!  so have a GREAT Monday!

incredible birthday

Here is one of our new stamps that just came out!  Got to spend a few hours in my studio yesterday (spent the first 45 minutes cleaning up from the last time!)  LOVING my new brother machine.  I used it several times yesterday. At supper on Wednesday my future brother-in-law said to me “I love your brother!” I said which one since I have two but he was talking about my Scan and Cut!

I started putting the new stamps on the website last night but it will take a few more hours at the keyboard.  I did get all the new handmade by different states on.  We hope to take the weekend off and do some projects around the house so looking forward to that.  Have a great Father’s day…so glad my kids have one of the greatest Dad’s in the world!

Another 3.5″x5.0″ Card

Birthday

tie

My 3.5″x5.0 cards continue!  40 is a lot of cards.  For those of you just joining the blog…a friend of my had a 40th birthday and we were all asked to send her 40 of “something” small.  I sent 40 3.5″x5.0 handmade cards which we have been showing on the blog over the past month or so.  Interestingly the 40 cards took me about 4 hours to complete.  I cut and scored all the card stock which can be time consuming.  I also made some of them with the triple circle dies that I cut.

Maybe you noticed I forgot to blog yesterday!  That happens sometimes 🙂 Finally got my house clean yesterday, spent 5 hours in the shop, made supper for the crew (my sister and her family live near by and we eat together on Wednesday nights!), went to town and changed the oil in the truck and rotated tires (ok so I just sat and read a book while someone else did all that!), purchased flowers to plant and bricks to edge a flower patch, got stain to stain the new door to the laundry room, went to bible study in the evening, and then to DQ with some friends!  So all that leads to a big day today…a door to stain, that paint project from the other day still needs to be done, have to take truck to town to get the camper shell put on, need to put my 5 hours in the shop in, plant flowers and build the flower bed…:) too busy to get in trouble! Hope your week is going good

You Color my World

Friendship, Hello, Just a Note, Thinking of You

color world

My world is looking colorful today!  I got up early (5 am!) and felt refreshed and so happy to putting on my painting clothes!  Not sure what I’m painting today but I’m painting something!  Kevin thinks I should finish painting his gaming console that I started quite awhile ago and then we got busy.   When we have a little time between shows we usually work in the shop from 8 am to noon and then the rest of the day is spent catching up on all the things that don’t get done when we are busy.  So I’m off to get my work done and then my projects!

Spectacular Day!

Hello, Thinking of You

I really hope your weekend is Spectacular!!  We are leaving to go set up here in West Springfield, MA!  It’s down to breakfast, then load the truck (all the product that was shipped to hotel and priced last night needs to go back in the truck) and then the 30 minute commute up to the Eastern States Expo Center.  So we are off and running…. have a spectacular weekend!
