Saturday - 3/27/10

A quick post today - I am heading out to a pajama party with my friend Shari - I think we are going to have lots of fun. We are having a lasagna throw down - Bobby Flay had better show up to do the judging. I made a white lasagna - (I made up the recipe so I hope it tastes good - but I figure if you put enough cheese in anything it will be good) and the other Barb made a traditional lasagna. I will report back tomorrow and let you know how everything tasted.

Today's card is based on the challenge on Moxie Fab - Picking Up the Pieces - well what cardmaker doesn't have pieces - it was just a matter of figuring out what pieces to use - I just grabbed one of my 6 x 6 pads from Basic Grey and used the scraps that I had so carefully tucked into the pad to use on another day - and last night was the night. I think I just trimmed down one piece, cut the narrow strip in half but the remainder of the pieces were waiting to turn into a card. The card base is the recycled cover of a program. I added the flower over the sentiment because part of the rub on did not adhere - had to cover up that spot and then we had to balance the flower. Add some stickles - we now have a card. I even know who I will send it to. If I can find the address.

Everyone have a wonderful Saturday evening.

Saturday - February 27, 2010

Good Saturday evening. A quick post tonight. Was on the raod today - went and visited with my mom - she is 92 years old - an amazing woman - we got groceries and went out to lunch - we had a visit after lunch from the youngest grandchild who is 7. Lots of driving in one day but I do not trust winter weather. Of course, on the way home, I had to take a break and do a little retail therapy - I aws good I did not buy anything at Archiver's - I had no coupon and nothing really spoke to me so I left there and went to the Scrapbook Superstore. I did manage to buy a few things there. I didn't buy any stamps.

Everyone have a wonderful evening.

Tuesday - 2/23/10

Good Tuesday evening. Busy day at work plus we had the Olympic Potluck which was fun and very tasty. We had some great food and great sharing of friendship - you don't always get to share time with the people you work with in your building. This brings many of us together in a social outing. Needless to say I am really not too hungry. I am sure eventually I will want to eat something.

My card tonight is based on the weekly sketch at the Card Positioning Systems. A new sketch every Sunday. I made this card to send to an online friend who I have become close to. Her husband was wounded in Afghanistan in October 2008. Today Ty turned 40 - God does work miracles. The family is not far my heart so wanted to sent a card. Anna is one of the most creative women I know so I know she appreciates everything you do for you.

Everyone enjoy your evening. I hope to do a little creating tonight. I hope.

Tuesday - not much else to say

Close up of flowers

Good Tuesday evening - another rough day of work so glad to be home and hibernating. For excitedment - I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a pencil sharpener for my Prisma colored pencils. I don't want you to be jealous of such a wild crazy fun thing to do. I even passed up the Spellbinders on sale - today anyway.

Today's card is based on the sketch at Card Positioning System (of course I had to add something in that empty space - sorry) and the old stuff challenge on Teri Anderson's blog - I told you I had lots of old stuff.

Everyone have a wonderful evening.

Wacky Wednesday

Good evening - the hardest part of doing a blog - is coming up with a title each time you post - why - oh - why isn't their a book - Post Titles for Blog for Dummies. Of course, I leave a pretty boring life so don't have lots to say.

Tonight's card is based on the sketch at Get Sketchy - a good basic sketch - I offset the vertical stripe. One of the goals for this year is to try and use up some of the older paper I have. It is really pretty paper - hopefully not too pretty - since this is a card for a male.

Prety worn out form work today so a very short post for tonight. Everyone enjoy your evening.

Happy Saturday

Jus ta quick post - I have planned a work - play; work - play week end. I strongly believe in bribery and even use it on myself. So hopefully I will accomplish some things around the house and get some cards made also.

Sympathy cards are the hardest to make because I always make them when I need them. A co worker's husband recently passed. This is the card I made for the office for her and her family.
