Hello everyone, and Happy T day to the gang at the Altered Book Lover. It’s been some time since I posted, but I’ve been creating with this new set called “Clever Cats” from Stampin’ Up and thought I’d share what I made. I wanted the cat to appear like he was flying over the moon […]
Our neighborhood usually does a huge Halloween party which is run by the civic league. They serve hotdogs, and have costume contests for all ages. No party this year, but they did do a little parade that was sweet. Carter, our neighborhood mailman for the past 16 years is retiring. A group of us presented […]
My heart is heavy this morning. My three beautiful pine trees that I named “the three sisters” have died and are being taken down today. When we moved into this house over 17 years ago, one of the things I loved most about our yard besides the beautiful view were these three lovely trees. I […]
Time to share what’s on my work desk again with you and the group over at the Stamping Ground. I needed to make a card for my nephew’s 20th birthday. I tend to use the number of years the recipient is with die cuts or stamps, so I wanted to do something different this time. […]
