Anyone for Golf???

Good morning peeps!!!

Well I finally brought the card rack to the salon last night, now lets hope I can sell them.

I will be posting birthday cards for next week or two, so come back & take a peak. Today's card is golfing Bella & I love this design, I think it came out great...let me know what you think!

Well Dan & I spent Sunday with Marc & Sarah at their newly installed pool & it is gorgeous! Dan & I LOVE the hot tub...wow that was sooooo relaxing! It was in the 80's for Columbus Day weekend...the last hurrah for the pool I guess. You know where I'll be next summer...spending a day or two every week relaxing poolside at their house, lol!!!

Well that's it for today...thanks so much for dropping by. Happy stamping!











Here are 3 pictures of the card rack (couldn't decide which pic was the good one, so I put up all 3) I brought to the salon where Jessica works. I put 80 cards in it, I think that's enough & I will restock every month or so, depends on how they sell. I need to get to work & make more so I can have a big stockpile on hand.

Paper Rose Topiary at Bella Art

Good morning everyone!

To all my local friends & readers...I'm going to Bella Art in Johnston R.I. either this week or next week to make this awesome paper rose topiary...does anyone want to join me??? I saw this topiary in the store (one small $20. & one large $35.) this summer & fell in love with it, well I want to make one of the smaller ones, so I'll be calling the store to set up a time for me to attend a class, (by myself or with some of you) probably in the morning sometime. I have the die from MFT so she said to start off with the small one & then I can make the bigger one on my own once I know what to do. How about it...anyone game to come along??? Yvette, Betty, Ree, Sandi...anyone??? Here are some pictures.


This is the big one that's in the store






He helped roll the flowers & they made these for the tables at his daughter's wedding. What a nice dad!



Call me or email me ladies if you want to attend, Please let me know by Tuesday because I will be calling Wednesday to set up an appointment for the class. Have a great weekend!

Mother of Pearl Anniversary Card

Good morning everyone!

Got my laptop back last night...I'm so happy to have it back! I got a nasty virus that wiped out my hard drive. Thanks to the amazing people over at the Geek Squad at Best Buy, they retrieved all of my files & software that I thought was gone forever. The only thing I had to do when I got home was figure out how to get my background, icons & theme settings back to the way I like them & it only took me just under an hour. I finally realized that the folder on the desktop contained all my icons...how cool was that? Just 1 more little thing I'm trying to figure out but it's not a problem if I don't get it the way I want it to look, it's just me being picky & wanting things the way I had it before...I'm a creature of habit! Lol!!! I figured while I was there picking up my laptop I might as well have them do the Dell desktop PC too. I want everything taken out & have them put it all back in so it will run faster & be like new again, I hope! I had to use that PC while mine was in the shop & let me tell you it was sooooo darn slooooooow! I don't have the patience for slow. So I was not on the PC much because of that, I just couldn't deal with the stress. Should get that PC back tomorrow.

Today's card is totally cased. I saw this video on Dawn Griffith's blog & knew I had to try it & it is gorgeous up close & in person. I don't know if I captured the pearl glow in the photos (I tried, click on the photos to make it bigger) but it's sooo darn beautiful!!! Click on Dawn's name & go over there & take a look at her video, it's so easy to do & I had a blast doing it. I made Anniversary, Sympathy & birthday cards with this same card but different sentiments. What do you think? Go on...go over there & give it a try, you won't be sorry!

Happy stamping!!!










Thanks for stopping by...I'm so glad you did!!!
