Happy Halloween, friends! It’s been a looong day, today we were up bright and early to do a final blitz of fliers/flyers (can’t decide on the spelling, but I really ought to look it up, lol) on our good city. Several friends met us here at the house for hot chocolate/wassail/oj/milk at the house early this am and then we all set out to hang the last of the fliers/flyers. I had a carful of young ones and we hit…
Ok so I thought I would share a little bit of what I have been up to the last several weeks, besides working and not crafting. I do have to admit that I did TRY to craft earlier this week but failed at miserably at what I was trying to do (making faux stained glass) so I piled up the pieces on my desk and then tossed them and went back to Facebooking and helping out Brent. Many of you…
Before Brent left to go out campaigning (door to door visiting) this morning he told me “You HAVE to put some crafty stuff back up on your blog again. People don’t want to read about how busy you are again.” LOL! Ok, darling, dear…. While we were in Massachusetts we bounced around from house to house (on the 2nd part of our trip) so we’d be able to see and visit with more family members. One of our nights (the…
I’m still not quite back in the craft room. It’s THAT time of year again at work where I’m working on contract renewals for both summer lawn /property maintenance contracts for 2010 and snow removal contracts for the 2009-2010 season. Today I am working from home and it’s a busy day. I am happy to have the hours as it means more money to pay off the trip and save towards Christmas… and it’s a JOB. SUPER grateful to have…
Hey friends! Just a quick note to let you know that I have not died or dropped off the planet. We just got back this morning (3:30 am) from a fabulous 11 day east coast vacation to see the foliage changing in upper New Hampshire, Vermont, playing in the Boston area, visiting my extended family in western Massachusetts and celebrating my grandfather’s 80th birthday. It was SO MUCH FUN and I am SO STINKING tired. COMPLETELY filled a 2 gig…
Life has been busy again, sicknesses and other medical maladies again lately…. but I don’t really want to get into it right now. It FINALLY appears that there is a light at the end of this “seemingly neverending” tunnel. Today I have been thinking of the events of the day of September 11, 2001. I was sitting at my desk at a relatively new job (just under a year) and my boss was in California with his family at Disneyland….
Sorry, couldn’t resist. The Infinity Board I saw this online at Gina K’s Stamp TV site. Click anywhere on this line for instrux. {Edited for Clarification} This Infinity Board is a homemade “Infinity Board” (cased from REAL Infinity Board) . You can use this as a “backdrop” for photos of cards and other smaller projects. It’s great for photographing small items for your blog or etsy and ebay type stores. You will still need some good lighting for your photographs. …
Hey all! I disappeared again for a bit. No excuses other than life happening and priorities being lined up, etc. Brent’s out mowing the lawn and I just finished a project to share with you tomorrow or Wed so I figured I had better get this posted first…. Here are the last couple of cupcake cards. Well, one uses a sentiment only from the set, and the other is all chocolately and yummy. These are my two absolute favorites from…
Let’s break up the string of cupcake cards and share this fun little project instead. Last Thursday night we had an Enrichment meeting for church. We had a garden style tea party and celebrated the female leaders in our church history. It was loads of fun. Some of the sisters dressed up in period clothing dating back to the pioneers and most came in modern day clothing, but lots of people wore a “tea party hat”. We had a little…
Where did the weekend go? It seemed to fly by so fast this time! We were busy doing “outdoors” type stuff this weekend. Brent went and helped Mini C#1 with his Eagle Scout Project on Saturday morning and then Saturday evening we worked on our disaster zone yard. Last week we had some pretty big microbursts in Payson… several trees were blown over and in general it was a big mess. The onions in our garden are all laid over…
