Look what I did today!!!

Hello peeps!

Well I had to clean house today to get ready for our Brunch with the kids, yep you heard me right, I said Brunch not Dinner. Marc & Sarah are having dinner at Sarah's brother's house so that's why we're doing Brunch for Easter. It's a change of pace & who knows...we may do it again, we'll see how it turns out. Anyway I decide to alter my laptop with Decor Elements today, I just couldn't wait any longer...so keep your fingers crossed for me that this laptop will be A-OK! You know my history with Dell so hopefully the Toshiba will be my Best Friend Forever!!! Hehehe!!! So far so good, it works like a charm, "Knock On Wood" me knocking...can ya hear me? So I took two pictures to show you my "Oh so Pretty" laptop....I LOVE it!!! I put the flowers the same way as in the catalog this time because the Toshiba name is nice & flat & the stems can go right over the name with no problem. I like it better this way.

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter! Thanks for stopping by today!

RAK from Jen

Hi peeps!

Look what came in the mail last week. I was totally surprised by this thank you RAK from Jen...OMGosh! Jen I luv it, you put a big smile on my face when I needed it most. I was feeling down about turning 60 next week & you gave me the boost I needed, thank you so much my friend! Go on over to Jen's blog & see how creative she is...I promise you won't be disappointed.

OMG I am so excited...I just found out that Teri & Linda are going to be in Vegas at the same time I am & we're hoping to get together while we're there. I'll make sure we take some pictures. I can't wait to meet them!

Well that's it for today, have a great day. I want to wish all of you a Happy Easter! Thanks for dropping by!


From Jen I luv the googly eyes on the strawberries! Thanks so much Jen, I love those stamped images & can't wait to play but that will have to wait till I get back from vacation.

Wedding Card

I'm soooo excited, I just love how this card turned out...it's so pretty! I wanted to try out my flower soft & this was the perfect card for it...what do you think???
I've made this card before for my son's wedding but I didn't have the flower soft & I think it added just that extra bit of WOW factor to this already beautiful image.
Hope you like it as much as I do, the picture just doesn't do it justice.

By the way I found a video of that stamp store in Vegas if you want to see it click HERE...isn't it Awesome? I can't wait to go see it. Whenever your in Vegas go take a look.

Well that's it for today folks. Have a good one!

Lighthouse Card #2

Good morning Peeps!

Well it sure is soggy here in New England, this is the most rain we've gotten in 55 years. I can't wait to get out West where it's sunny & warm for 2 weeks...hopefully the rain will be long gone by the time we get back & we can enjoy Spring weather here.

Speaking of Vegas, I have a website for you to look at, this store looks huge & you know I will be visiting it while I'm out there! It's called Viva Las Vegastamps, (they even have an online store) so go take a look & if your ever in Vegas why not stop by & let me know what you think...by that time I will already have visited & we can talk about it. If it's something unusual your looking for it looks like they might sell it! I hope I don't spend too much while I'm there, hehehe!!! I'm going to be like a kid in a candy store! We're going to have a car rental so I'll have hubby go get some coffee while I'm shopping, I think that's a great idea, he already knows I'll be in there for hours! I'll let you know what I think & maybe post a picture if I can while I'm out there.

Well today's card is the second of the lighthouse cards, I'm not sure if I like this one too much...I could have colored it a little different I think, I'm not happy with the way the grass came out, oh well.

See you tomorrow with the last of the groomsmen cards, then it will be the wedding card I made for Guy & Joyce and that takes care of all the wedding projects for her wedding. Hope you all stay dry & warm!
