Graduation

starsGood Afternoon!  We are just chilling here in York, PA.  Enjoyed a lazy morning, slept in, read a book, and did a little shopping.  Just a nice relaxing day.  I really need to get to work on the internet!  Maybe tonight 🙂

Hannah’s Graduation!

Reach for StarsGood Day!  I’ve had a busy day today.  Woke up early (out of bed by 5 am!) Did two loads of laundry (hung on line!) Put two baskets of folded clothes away. Emptied dishwasher. Spray painted a planter (love spray paint!) Watered plants. Made Eggs & Bacon Breakfast for Kevin all by 7:30 am.  I then got a text from my friend Holly who told me about a garage sale down the road from my house…so off Kev and I go in the little green machine (some day I will have to tell you about the green machine!) to this garage sale.  Found an old ladder for my sister…she saw something on pintrest she wants to do with it.  Then I hit the jackpot!  Found four picture frames with really thick cool frames and the glass for $2.  I’m going to (what else!) spray paint them and put magnetic chalkboard paint on the glass and then…on all my embossing powders and glitter lids I’m going to put a magnetic.  This will get them all out of the drawer that I dig in and put them on the wall so I can just grab them!  So excited!  When I get it done I’ll post a picture in case you don’t get how cool it will be!

I think this is my last graduation card for the year!  This one is for my friend’s daughter in Lakewood, WA.  Congrats Hannah!  Stamps used:  DD33 Sympathy Word Fun Cube; EE17 Dual Stars Lg; AA18 Dual Stars Sm; B177 Reach for the Stars; C22 Solid Circle

 

Grant’s Graduation!

Graduation

Grants Grad 3Grants Grad1Another beautiful day here in WI!

You may wonder what I have been so busy with these last weeks since our last show.  Well, let me tell you what I’ve been up to.  I have always had the accounting on a windows computer with Quickbooks but with my recent addition of my IMax I decided to switch to Quickbooks for Mac.  Really should be simple but ended up really complicated and of course tech support is from India and they do not speak good English!  So yesterday I had a problem that was really strange. I called tech support (which takes hours!) because I have 90 days of free support.  The first gentleman keep telling me I set up the account wrong and I kept telling him I could not have because it was a default account (one that they set up) and he annoyed me so I hung up.  Called back and got someone else who told me my data was corrupt and I needed it rebuilt but that I had to pay for better support which would be $219!  Oh forget it I said and hung up.  I was going to threw in the towel so to speak and then decided to shut the entire computer down and restart and Ta Da!  My program now works!  I really dislike computers but they are so helpful when they work! I think that will be the last time I call tech support!

On to better things…my nephew graduated from Maple Lake High School in Maple Lake, Minnesota this years so we are off to MN for his graduation party this weekend.  Here is the card (glasses again!) I made for him and one for the booth.  Hope you Enjoy!

Another Grad Card

Graduation

byron grad cardGraduation #2 for us.  I left this card behind for Travis to take to another graduation party this weekend!  This was for a boy so I made it a little different than Monday’s card since that was for a girl.

We had a good day for travel yesterday.  Left at 6:30 am and arrived at 8:00 pm so not too long a day.  Had supper with Ron and Sarah from The Paper Cut at hotel, then breakfast this morning and we are off again.  Late start this am since we only have an 8 hour travel day.  Looking forward to the W. Springfield show this weekend!  Have a good weekend!

 

Congratulations Graduate!

Graduation

congrats graduateSo  Graduation is coming up!  We just got an invite for a young neighbor girl.  So hard to believe she is that old already! This card has two punches on it..the small scallop and then the holes are actually a punch too.  One of my favorites.

Painting continues in the studio!  Painted six cabinets yesterday!  Stiff and Sore today!  Rain coming this afternoon so I need to get to work!  Enjoy your day!

Graduation

future holdsHere is another graduation card.  Notice that the Congratulations that was embossed is actually from Cuttlebugs Congrats Embossing folder.  I just used a one inch piece of black paper to only emboss that part of the  folder.  Gives your folder a whole new look!

I had a chance to stamp last night and it was an awesome stamping night!  Some times when I go down to stamp nothing turns out (that never happens to you!??) and then sometimes everything you touch turns out!  Well it was a good night for stamping so I’m caught way up on cards for the blog!

Our snow storm never came…I think I was a little disappointed 😦  Karissa who lives in Minnesota said she shoveled and shoveled and shoveled snow!  She’s ready for winter to just be DONE!

to believeGood Morning!  We are back after a nice uneventful drive home last night.  Good to sleep in our own bed!

Indianapolis is always good to us!  It was fun to see old friends and meet new ones.  I’ve about lost my voice completely so I think I’ll not talk today.  My son is not sure that is possible so we’ll see :).

Graduation is coming up.  I have a few graduation cards for this week.
