a little Rain... 42

Hi there! Any big plans for ringing in the New Year? We are just going to hang out around home ~ hopefully see a movie or two this weekend :) I really want to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and the new Sherlock Holmes. We went to see The Adventures of Tintin with Connor and Meredith during the week and it was really good family entertainment. What awesome animation! Have you seen any good flicks lately? I love the various cute umbrellas...

Thank You x2 47

Hi there! Things have been a little hectic around here. Connor and Meredith are off from school for three weeks for Winter break so that means keeping two teenagers busy for me :) I think I drove over 100 miles today! Seriously! Meredith is volunteering at the younger children's horse riding camp and I am so proud of her for doing so. Unfortunately the stables are at least 45 miles away from our home. sigh... Connor is playing Varsity soccer and...

Hi there dear blogging friends! I'm hoping you all had an amazing weekend and wonderful Christmas celebration if you observed the holiday! We had a great day at my home and spent some quality time together but I must admit, I am happy to sit down and kick my feet up for the rest of the evening :) I made this project several days ago but couldn't share it with you because it was for my sweet sister Tina who visits my blog regularly. I upcycled...

adore you 45

Hi there! Hope you are having an awesome weekend thus far! I scrapped a photo of Meredith at a horse riding lesson. I bought one of those 12" x 12" memorabilia photo frames to house it in. I am going to wrap it up and give it to her as a gift. I sure hope she is excited to hang it in her bedroom! I used a variety of flower embellishments including once again one of Tina's hand made crocheted blossoms along with several fabric Prima flowers. The...

Christmas Greetings 36

T.G.I.F. and I have the day off from work! Yahooo! This IS my last Christmas card for 2011 and it's for my dear husband Scott :)  I stamped the background using a combination of Waltzingmouse Text-It, Festive Foliage, and Compliments of the Season. I finished it off with a bow, button, twine and some home made pine cones using the Tim Holtz pine cone die that was given to me by my sweet friend, Sue Lelli. Thanks...

Beauty and Love 50

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great day! I have an unexpected day off from work so I decided to create a few things before heading out the door to run some last minute errands. I'm trying to scrap a layout at least once a week so I pulled out some photos featuring Scott and I in front of The Louvre, Paris, France and some artwork showcased inside. I'm lovin' the beautiful papers in the Webster's Pages Western Romance collection and the coordinating...

Grand Gerber Daisies...FTTC149 61

Happy Tuesday! It's time again for a new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge! Thanks to all who joined in last week's fun! This week Beate is our wonderful hostess and she is challenging us all to create using the Telescoping Image technique. It's rather quite simple, merely stamp your image of choice two or three times, cutting it smaller each time for a layered look. NOTE: This will be the last FTTC of 2011, we will resume, Tuesday, January...

Home Made with LOVE 53

Hi there! Hope you are all having an awesome Sunday! Scott and I are both feeling a bit under the weather :( Nothing like coming down with a cold during one of the busiest times of the year. OK, enough whining for now and on to some crafty projects. One of my New Year's resolutions is not to hoard papercrafting goodies so starting early, I pulled out some beautiful Webster's Pages patterned paper that I purchased nearly a year ago! EEKS! I KNOW...
