Happy Birthday Blocks

Birthday

happy birthday blocksWe are still back in the ages with solid stamps.  Sometimes it’s good to back and look at old things to make them new again.  I’m really the queen of  thrift shopping and re-doing things.  Simple but elegant card.

We have had an eventful morning today.  Last night around 3 am the thunderstorms rolled through and we lost power.  I got up at 6:30 am and Kevin said “just get dressed, we’re going out for breakfast!”  I’m like “WHY?”  No power was the answer and I need coffee! So off we went to breakfast and because I had coupons for IHop we went all the way into Green Bay which is about 12 miles.  But 12 miles is one gallon of gas so that is why it is ALL the way to Green Bay.  And we can never go ALL the way to Green Bay without a purpose so we stopped at a carpet store on the way home.  Our house is around 20 years old and so most of the floors need replacing but I’m not sure what I want so I keep looking.  Found some good stuff this morning but I’m still just not sure!  Have a good weekend!  I’m still painting rooms so I have a couple planned for this weekend.  Need to get the whole house painted before floors go in!

 

Hannah’s Graduation!

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
