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!

Busy Wednesday!

Friendship, Frogs & Bugs, Hello, Thinking of You

Here is another 3.5″x5.0″ Triple Circle Card from my 40 birthday cards…so sweet…

We have had a busy morning today.  We are staying with Kevin’s sister here in Portland who has 3 children…which makes any day busy :)… but this morning we babysat the youngest who has afternoon kindergarten… as people with very old children…you sorta forget how busy their “chatter” makes things!   We went to Lowe’s to get some bricks because Kevin is building some sort of patio for his sisters dog kennel!  I haven’t ventured out to see what he’s building but he enjoys doing that sort of thing.

I have gotten my Brother Scan and Cut machine out this afternoon so I plan to play with it and see what else I can learn to do with it!  Have a great “HUMP” day!

Birthday, Creatures, Frogs & Bugs

kb bee 1kb bee 3here are a couple of cards Karissa made when she was home for Christmas.  She had to go back on Christmas day so she only got to  spend Tuesday and Wednesday at home.  I wanted to do a lot of work on Tuesday but she convinced me to go shopping instead!  But we had a great day together and I can work any old day! 🙂

Christmas day was busy with the usual turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffing etc.. but on Thursday we made porgies.  It is a family dish that has been handed down for generation to generation.  I made them myself this time with a little help from my Dad and Brad.

here they all are drying the dough.  We made about 95 of them.  We only had 35 left over!  I was hoping to freeze some for later but we sure did enjoy them.  My brother Brad and my sister Sonya and I had not had them for several years.  We really enjoyed them.  They were worth cooking all day for.  Kevin did the dishes tonight so that us kids cook play Rook together.  It was a good day!

Friendship, Frogs & Bugs, Hello, Just a Note, smile

beecause-I-careThis card is one of our Make n Takes that we will be doing in Clearwater, FL this weekend!  It generally is very popular at the shows.  For more information regarding the show go to http://www.stampfest.com.

My friend, Sarah (The Paper Cut, Inc.) has decided that we should work out together.  Gasp! What was I thinking when I agreed.  My arms and legs feel like they are going to fall off.  This after only two days of working out with Sarah.  Good thing we are at different hotels for the next few days…she won’t know if I’m slacking off 🙂

Here is the same border from Frog Card 2 again! The frog and flies were filled in with Copic Markers.

This card reminds me to worry less and laugh more. This is one of my favorite sayings to put on a thinking of you card for someone going through tough times. Life is hard but there are so many things to find joy in and be thankful for. Here are some things that bring me joy, maybe you share some of them…

1. sitting in the sun with a good book

2. getting an unexpected card in the mail

3. hearing about animals being adopted into wonderful families

4. family reunions

5. getting a whiff of the basil in my kitchen window

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday and is able to find joy in the day!
