Good Morning!  It looks like a beautiful day here in WI. The sun is shining and few clouds – I think a good day for laundry on the line!

So Kevin and I have been working in the shop from 8-12 and then working on our “projects”! Yesterday while Kevin worked on the powder bathroom, I cleaned out the master bathroom linen closet and clothes closet. I have two large garbage bags for Goodwill. Not sure what today will bring but anxious to get going!

Stamps Used: BB25 KB’s Butterfly; AA15 Dual Dots Mini; E142 A Friend; A123 You make me smile; F235 Triple Flag Banner

I think I’ve finally convinced Karissa that the triple flag cards are pretty cool!  I love how she took a two line stamp and made it work in the triple flag.  And like how she wrapped the twine in the top flag.

Good Morning.  We find ourselves in Elk River, MN…my childhood home!  We are getting ready to paint my  Mom and Dad’s Kitchen Cabinets.  Exciting!  A day of painting.  We will stay until Thursday and then head down in to Minneapolis for the Bloomington, MN show.

Today’s card is one of our brand new Make n Takes.  We added four new ones this week so that is exciting too!

Good Evening!  We made it home from Akron at 4 am this morning!  Long night but woke up around 9 am refreshed and ready to go again.  I must admit to sleeping on the way home.  Kevin is a night owl so driving at night is far better for him than in the daytime.  Plus the traffic in Chicago is much better 🙂

We had a fabulous time in Akron!  So fun to see everyone there again.

Love this card…Karissa has been using up that calendar.  I love that this card has the first day of spring on it.  We had some super nice sunny weather today.  Little chilly but nice.  My clothes failed to dry on the line so they finally had to go in the dryer.  I got all the orders out and all the brother machines ordered that were sold this weekend so feeling caught up.

Stamps Used:  GG35 KB’s Primrose Lg, J35 Live Love Laugh, The butterfly stamp I will have to look up and get on the website 😦 didn’t realize it wasn’t on.  Have a great evening.

Good Evening!  I hope you are all warm and cozy somewhere because it seems like most of us are in very cold weather.  We have arrived in Lebanon, IN so we are very close to Indianapolis.  It was 32 degrees in the trailer when we stopped but we got the heater turned on and went in for some supper. When we came back it was already up to 50 degrees so I think we will survive 🙂

I accidentally left my cards for the blog at home but luckily I had already taken the pictures…I just don’t have the numbers of the stamps 😦

Good Monday Morning to You!  It’s very cold here today in WI…somewhere are 15 degrees which with the wind is pretty cold 🙂  Thinking of the New England area and their snowstorm coming…so be safe out there.

Today’s card comes from my friend Michelle who designs cards for several companies and does an awesome job!  I love the way she thinks.  If you notice the leaves in the background of this flower…it is actually the leaf from the Lily of the Valley!  Amazing…if you remember she’s the one who took the small father’s day tie and made it into a flower.  She definitely thinks outside the box 🙂

Stamps Used:  BB15 Solid & Open Daisy, EE46 Lily of the Valley Lg, D211 Happy in my Day.

We are packing and getting ready to leave for GA & FL on Wednesday so not much time left at home.

Good Monday Morning to You!  We are traveling home from the Grapevine, TX show.  We had a great time in Grapevine but always glad to be heading home.  It seems like the weather will cooperate with our commute and we should have sunshine all the way home.  That makes me smile 🙂

We have made the incredible birthday stamp into a incredible day stamp!  We should have these new stamps on the website within the next few weeks.  I also love the smile embossing folder.  Always good to smile.

Have a fabulous Monday.

We had a good day travel yesterday.  The gas prices are nice!  The lowest they have been in four years.  If it wasn’t for the 30 mph wind that we were headed straight into we might have noticed a savings 🙂  We made it to Des Moines, IA last night at 8 pm and woke at 6 am  and having a nice lazy morning before heading out.

This world die cut is from…what else but the brother scanncut!   Stamps Used:  F235 Triple Banner Flag, E271 Brighten World.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Hello, smile

 

 

Here are a few cards using hat pins on them.  I love making the pins and using them on cards…adds a nice little touch.

We’ve had some busy days since returning from CO… not doing much but just getting things re-organized, needed to do laundry, buy groceries, clean house, and, of course, make stamps again!  Just ordinary things that make each day a gift.  I want to cherish each day and love the little things in it.  Was really special to spend time with my parents and my brother while in Colorado.  We made some new memories to cherish.  Hope your ordinary days are special.
