Thankful Thursday!

I am thankful that I live in a GORGEOUS place! I LOVE being up north!




Today's share is a little project I worked on for some little girls. I have LOVED this stamp forever and I have had it forever! I think for at least 10 years or so. I bought it when my DD was itty bitty, but it's still one of my FAVS! It's a stamp from Inky Antics. The cardstock is all scraps from my scrap drawers. I LOVE being able to put those scraps to good use!

I'm off for the day, I hope you all ENJOY your Thursday and have found something that you are thankful for!

What to do Wednesday!

Yep that is what it's called when you find out that your power is going to be out for most of the day, so that the City can do some work on the power box. I think that's a good thing?



So DD and I took off and went berry picking! YUMMMMMMA DH txt me and told me where he was working up the way a bit, there were TONS of wild raspberry bushes. Boy was he RIGHT! Abby & I took off and were prepared for a day of FUN picking some good berries! So today's picture is of Miss Abby picking away.



Here's DH visiting with us during his lunch break. It was nice that he walked on down and visited with us!

Have a good one!

It's Tuesday!

The sun is shinning again up north, after a dreary weekend of on and off rain showers or I should say down pours. They would just pop up and WOW did it come down!

I have made some progress in the purging and I now have one table cleared!!!

- - - - -but there are more to clear still! Some day I will be able to post a purged - cleaned - spotless stamping room!

This is a card I did for a mini swap, with a new stamp set called "Sip by Sip". It was in one of the SU mini catties and I'm soooooo glad to see that it made it into the new catty!! I really like it, it's very easy to use and FUN too!


Have a wonderful day!

Fun Friday!

Where did the week go??? I'm not sure but I was able to make some head way in my stampin mess room and did some purging! It always feels good to get that done! Then of course there is always something that I have, no I mean that I need and I end up replacing what I purged. Why is it like that??? I just had to order from ep - Electic Paperie: http://www.eclecticpaperie.com






Today's card is going out to a stampin pal who is in need of some cheering up. Just want her to know that I am thinking of her.





Then I just had to share the cutie in the above picture with you! This is one of the reasons why I sooooo LOVE living up north! Can you believe how big the babies are getting??? To think they were just born a bit ago. This one has almost lost it's spots already. Pretty soon she will just be running for her life, cause it will be hunting season. Mom & baby come to visit almost every evening, just around dusk.

I hope you have a FUN Friday, as I know I will. It's date night at our house! We are heading out for a movie and a bite to eat with our friends. Haven't decided what movie, that will be decided on the drive down to Duluth. LOL

Thankful Thursday!

I think I'm going to start using Thursday to think about what I have to be thankful for.

So to start off with that, I am thankful that I have a wonderful FAMILY!





Today I posted my design from my friend Bevie Pearl's online class! Instructions were from:

Wild Wednesday

Happy Wild Wednesday!

Here are some treats that I made up for a friend's birthday. Who wouldn't LOVE to get a flower and chocolate?





The sunflower stamp is from Hero Arts and I have had it forever! It is one of my FAVS! I go back to it LOTS! The cardstock that I layered around the Hershey Hugs is odds & ends that I had left over in my stash.

I just returned from lunch out with my friend and now it looks like I will have more time to go back to purging things. It's thundering like crazy and Muffy has already ran under the desk.


Back to getting rid of crap!

It's a STAMPIN' Day!

Yep cause it's raining and has been raining out most of the night. Good for the plants and the yard will look soooooo nice! Seeing as it's raining out, that leaves not much on my plate ya know so that means that I will get to PLAY in my almost clean stamp room!!!!! Yep and as soon as I can say it's COMPLETELY CLEAN I will post pics and share with you.





Hope you have a FUN day and get to play a little too!

Marvelous Monday!

The Sun is shinning how could it not be a marvelous day if the sun is out?!!

As I was trying to purge through some of my discontinued stamp sets that I have I decided to putz with this one. It's Garden Silhouettes and was a Hostess set from the 07-08 SU catalog.

I always LOVE when I come up with a quick and easy card that is simple, but cute!





Have a Marvelous Monday my friends!

Saturday!

Happy Saturday Everyone! I hope your Saturday started off better then mine did! I got up early to start breakfast for everyone. Dan's up visiting and wanted to give him a special treat! Overnight, oven baked French Toast. The smoke detector kept going off and I couldn't figure out why. There wasn't any SMOKE! A few minutes later when I peaked there were FLAMES in the bottom! OMW! Rod was here and to say the least, he saved the day! Now I will be going shopping for a new stove I guess.

On to a better things - - - - - - - - Today's share is as I promised you - - - - - - a card from one of my NEW SU stamp sets. It is called Greenhouse Garden and I must say I'm in LOVE with it! It is really FUN and is a very easy to us stamp set.






Have a GREAT Saturday everyone!

Fridget Friday!

It's chilly up north! The rain came through last night and looks like it may hit again today. The temps are down and I don't think my garden is liking it! It's only 56 out there - Brrr are we sure it's really July in Minnesota? And they keep telling us there's global warming, hmmmmm.

Today's share is from my last on-line class. All the giggles from being late to the class and finally getting the project finished. But I did more then just one. I must tell you that when Lana posted this class I was excited, as she pointed out to us that we would be able to use up all our scraps of cardstock that we have been collecting. How did she know that we were all collecting it??? LOL
It's a card in which you can include a treat or a gift card would work out perfectly! These are super easy & quick to make!


I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the last card open. But I know that you get the idea.

Tomorrow I'm going to be sharing a card that I did with one of my NEW SU stamp sets - YAHOOO!!!

Have a GREAT day and stay warm where ever you may be!

The SUN is shinning!!

It's a perfect "MaGoooooo" weather day up north today! I know that I will get lots of stamping done. I LOVE having my window open and the cool breeze coming through. No need for AC or a fan!

Here are a couple of class projects from my friend Val's on-line class she inspired us to do! In fact she even gave me an A+ on the first one, YAHOOOO!! I have really had FUN making these little books.

Have a GREAT day and I hope you are able to ENJOY some SUNSHINE!

Hump day Wednesday!!

We had some rain come through last night! This is good, as things were getting very dry around here! Of course I'm glad that I had picked my peonies before this happened, other wise they would not be enjoyed any more! The rain took care of the ones that were left, as it came down hard.

Toady I'm sharing with you a project that one of my friends on the A gave a class in. Bevie Pearl and she has encouraged others, to start teaching us on-line classes. This one was really FUN!! I even was able to use up some things that I ordered and never touched. See I knew I needed those CAROUSEL NOTES ! LOL



In the above project I have also used a clear envie too! Give it a try!

Now run and find some of those products that you purchased and have not dug into yet! You will find that you also new you needed to have them!

ENJOY your day and I hope the sun is shinning where you are!

A little behind again!

I'm not sure where all the time has gone, but it's already the middle of July. YIKES!!

I've been just putzing on little things up north. Taking my time to make sure to ENJOY the flowers of summer!! These beautiful peonies are from my garden! One of the few flowers the deer won't eat. lol




Here is one of the projects I've been putzing on . It's a covered DVD tin with a notepad & pen inside. I used some my imaginisce cardstock stash and I have to say it turned out TOO CUTE!! Not sure who I will be gifting this one too, but I'm sure who ever is the lucky friend will be HAPPY when they get it.




I hope to stay more on task with my blog posting.

Have a wonderful day!
