Reminiscing

Do you ever find yourself looking for things you know you just put it there--well not so--not there. I needed a picture for a project and began my search--well lo and behold I found my birthday pictures. They even had me with my children and two of my grandchildren LOL! It was nice to have found them cause I love them dearly. Might post one of us. Have been busier than a one arm paper hanger and will be glad when it is time to go on vacation. Have decided for now anyway that I am not taking any stamping with me--can you see the withdrawals--do not know what to do. Any how, here's my eye candy for today. Pray all is well and you are not caught in any snow. Hugs, JoAnne

Before Retiring Tonight

Hi Everyone,

Hope all is well with each and everyone of you and you do not have that nasty bug going around like we have had this in our home. It does look like we are on the mend. I want to share with you several scrapbook pages that I have done some stitching on. I really enjoyed these and plan on doing more in the future. Hope you like the techniques I have used.

Hugs

Under The Weather

DH and I are both under the weather with this bug going on but decided I needed to update the blog, LOL! We have doctor appointment tomorrow and will be glad to get some meds to help getting the junk off my chest. I received HeidiSwapps masked birds and butterflies stencils. I am loving these guys and guess I will order the small ones, have not decided if I should cut these down for cards or just leave them alone--what would you all do?? Not going to ramble as much today--falling asleep typing. So here is the eye candy for today. The first is to wish you all a happy valentine's day by sharing my ornament made from the canning top and the others 8 1/2 x 11 pictures???

Hugs, Blessings, and Prayers.

Where does the time go

Time flies when you are having fun doesn't it. We had a delightful visit from our cousins Cecile and Larry Cozard. We did a lot of looking at RV parks so they would be able to drop their fifth wheel and leave it till next visit. Not sure what they decided, as Larry says just never know when you will find that sleeper! We also had an opportunity to take them down to the River Walk, The Alamo, and just look into some windows, ate lunch outside. The weather was just great; they come from Minnesto away from the cold and snow and I am so glad our weatherman did a great job for them.
I of course had withdrawals from stamping, LOL (not really) but have made up for lost time in accomplishing a few things. I am bad about the way I describe my items sometimes so if you have any questions please do not hestitate to let me know. I have been playing around with a few ideas for the upcoming cruise. One of them is a large envelope scrapbook that the guests can finish at home once they develop their pictures.
But in the meantime will share some eye candy with you, hope you like it, let me know. Never want to dissappoint my friends.

Just want to share today

Sure had fun last night making the cards that I will be attaching. I have always been afraid of horses but found myself loving them as I was playing around with the set from The Angel Company, it is so versatile. I am anxious to start playing with the other sets also. I have always loved doing pop-up cards from the first time that I was taught how to do them and have been playing around with that technique. When I finish what I started will post. So guess I better get busy. Hope you enjoy the cards. Any questions, just ask.

Challenge Cards + Escape Trade

I am so glad that I can post my samples once again. Enjoy until next time.

Hopefully this will let me add pics tonight

Hi guys,

Hope all is well with everyone who is looking at my site. God's richest blessings to you. I tried to add some photos that I did so I could share--will try again tonight.

Finally Finished

It has been a busy day trying to get samples of eight projects for our next cruise in April but think I have them all picked out. Still have to do samples but have my ideas written down. Just finished my projects for the Jan/Feb 08 addition for the http://www.rubberroadsadventures.com/ which should be published sometime in Feb so keep a lookout for that.

Since my last post I have made a few cards using the Kalloppe Set. One was for the color challenge. I received some red velvet with my kit this month and decided I needed to do some of that on the card, plus some sewing. I am sorry to say that the pictures did not turn out as nice as I wanted them to but will add them. Well have to run, until next time, enjoy, and ask questions.

Hugs

Busy Day

I have been cleaning my craft room for the last two days, what a job. Do not know why I cannot throw a snipit of paper away--aha--might need that for something, then something never comes, just cut up another sheet of paper and add to the pile. What a dilema but I did succeed with giving them away to friends at church and to the children's program.

They came over and just could not believe the stuff I was giving to them. According to them--this room looks much better than last time, just love those girls. Then decided I needed to wash clothes, so inbetween decided I needed to stamp something so here they are--stamps are from the Angel Company and Club Scrap. Enjoy and let me hear how you like my blog!
