It's A Green Kinda Day..With A Pop Of Color..Of Course! :)


Hi Everyone!!!! I really love those days where you can just play and not worry about anything! well today was that day! I had to check out The Sweet Stop sketch first thing this morning and O boy! I must say I didn't realize till today that I love circle sketches! so I dug right into my "stash" and started playing..the only thing is..I normally don't make 6x6 Stampin Up cards but with this circle I knew that is exactly what I was going to do! and I love it! the colors are so beautiful! and I haven't sewn on any of my cards in months! so this was so refreshing to be able to sew away!!!!! love  how everything just came together! ...I hope you have a fabulous weekend! and I will be back tomorrow!!! 
Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!!

Rocks=Drool :)




Hi Everyone!!!! OOPS! sorry about the blog candy..Chiy just picked a winner from the box and it is Kim! Congratulations! it's so easy when only a few people comment that way I can make it more personal and put your names on paper..I'm so old school LOL! I have been wanting to show you these pictures of my dad and Rocks since Christmas! they make me laugh every time I see them...my dad was sitting where Rocks normally sits so my dad didn't know that Rocks had put his jowls on his back..and that he was trying to move my dad! and when he was leaving my house he turned around and I noticed right off the bat Rocks drool stain!!!! OMG! I couldn't stop laughing and my poor dad was like what? and then the rest of the family saw his back and we were laughing and he just shook his head and walked away because I wouldn't tell him..when he got home..he called me and had said..your dog drooled on me! LOL!!!! so cute! :) ...the card I made was made use Mojo Monday! I loved it and I haven't made a 6x6 in so long..I had a good time :) I love the colors :) ..have a great night!!!

Hi Everyone!!!!! Happy belated Mother's Day!!!!! I had a great day but wanted to share my Mother's day card because my son is so oblivious that you can't help but laugh..he wasn't trying to be funny he just doesn't think about things LOL! and my daughter gosh darn she's a sweetheart ..all of her cards that she gives to me have a heartfelt message inside that it melts my heart :) ..I love them both with all my heart and couldn't ask for better kids..So my card was the inspiration today..I loved the color combo so much! simple but cheery! ..so I have this ribbon and buttons up for grabs ..all you have to do is tell me if your a quilter or a card maker or both :) ..easy peasy I'll pick the winner on Wed ..U.S.A only please :)

My Beautiful Baby!!!









Hi Everyone!!! YES! I'm going there..I'm bragging on my baby girl..I really want her to become a plus size model..I think she's gorgeous and has what it takes..so she did this photo shoot with an awesome photographer! aren't they phenomenal! and now all she has to do is send them off!!!! I hope soon!!!!! ..OK I did make a card and I love the bright and happy feeling you get from it :) and I have to show you a Friday Funny of Rocks and Bones..see Rocks is top dog ;) .. that picture of Bones..it's kinda deceiving because she is SNORING like a freight train even while I'm clicking away..the debris around her ya that's because she HAS to roll around in dirt ALL day long but she's happy as a clam while rolling so (sign) we just deal with it...Have a great day!!! I will be back tomorrow with a little blog candy and I'm sure a craft project of some kind since I have my hand in a lot right now
Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!!

Amazing Husband! Lots Of Pictures & A Card :)






Hi Everyone!!!! I did it again! I ditched my blog for over a week! so sorry! I got so involved with quilting I didn't want to stop! so my husband is AMAZING! remember last year I showed you pictures of my sewing room..well then my daughter moved back in so I lost it but I would rather have her then the room so it's all good..well I didn't want to put my machine away so I went into our formal dining room..so that's where I have been all this time..a couple of day ago I asked hubby if we could take out the dining room set and make it into my official sewing room..it took him about 5 seconds to say OK :) ..so fast forward to today when he came home from work he dismantled all the furniture and now I have a SEWING ROOM!!!! so darn EXCITED!!!! but he's not done..see those TV trays to the left, those are coming out and he's going to be building me a standing light box to the height I want (I love to applique) ...and that table on the left will be my ironing board so he's building me a top for it..I'll take more pictures when he's done!!!! O boy! I'm writing this post and I want to go sew!!!! but I did take the time this morning to use the sketch from Sketch Saturday to  make this really simple card..the colors came to me while I was sleeping the other day and I just love it! I added the charm because it say's 9:00 and I thought that was cute with the sentiment and image :) reminds me of country line dancing! O and the bulldog applique that I made last night is a WIP of Rocks! I think I'm going to add his name to the top or bottom...so I really wanted to link up to a blog that I absolutely love! I like scrolling through everyone's blog that links up so my turn! :) I hope I'm going to do it right but it's called Freshly Pieced ..Have an awesome day!!!!! 
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!!
