Hi, Friends!

I hope all is well your way!  I just wanted to pop in quick to share with you a card that I made for a friend.  I made the above card using dies from Pretty Pink Posh.  The sentiment is from Simon Says.  The embossed panel was gifted to me by my friend, Greta.  Thank you, Greta!  It was perfect for this card!  All dies were colored with copics.  Twine and dots to finish the card.

I had one more birthday celebration with my sisters last Saturday.  My sis, Christina, made a spice cake for me, so yummy!  It was a great time getting together with my sisters.  Yesterday, my hubby and I went to Amish Country.  Berlin, Ohio, where we did some Christmas shopping and ate a delicious lunch.  We visited our favorite bakery and brought home a red raspberry pie and a few tarts.  It's so peaceful and beautiful when we visit the area.  We chose a perfect day with the weather in the 60's.  Thursday we are to have wind and possibly snow flurries.  Brrrr...I am  not ready for winter!

Ok, well, I thank you for stopping by today!  Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, there!

How are you doing on this fine November day?  It's only in the 40's here and a bit windy, but the sun is shining!  I'd like to share with you a card I made for a friend's December birthday.  The flower image is from Altenew.  The die cut circles are from Pink Fresh and the gorgeous design paper is from Paper Rose.  It was an easy card to assemble.  Just some coloring with copics and die cutting.  A bow and punched tiny circles for the center of the flowers(mail friendly) to finish the card.

I had a wonderful birthday weekend.  And, I thank all who sent beautiful birthday cards and birthday wishes.  We ate out at a Mexican restaurant on the first night to celebrate two birthdays.  We celebrated our son's boss's late birthday, too.  Of course, they had to put the big Mexican hat on me and sing happy birthday to me.  At this restaurant, they have the tradition of smearing whip cream on the birthday person's face.  I was quite firm in saying NO whip cream on the face, lol!  They did it to my son last year and he took it all in stride.  The next night it was just the family and we went to a nice restaurant with delicious food.  We came back home and played cards.  The Uno game lasted an hour and a half that was quite long, but I ended up the winner!  It was a lot of fun!

How are you all coming along on your Christmas cards?  I do have some made and need to count them to see how many I have.  I'm sure that I have many more to do.  I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!  

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Hugs!

Autumn!

Hi, Friends!

Life has been busy once again, so it's been a couple weeks since I've been back here.  But, I was able to get into my craft room today and make a card for a friend to thank her for bringing a cake and gifts to the craft retreat last weekend.  Another birthday gal, Trina, had a birthday, also.  It was a great time with friends, good food, and crafting!  I focused on making Christmas and birthday cards for next month.  I'll post those later.  This weekend we will go down to our son's to celebrate my birthday.  I'm looking forward to it!  He asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I said Hobby Lobby gift card.  He said he didn't want to buy a gift card.  I said do you want to buy me a craft item?  He said sure I do.  I told him I'd like 100% cotton yarn.  So, we'll see what he comes up with, lol!

So, I'd like to tell you about the above card.  I received some new goodies from Pretty Pink Posh with the basket, leaves, and pumpkins.  It was very easy to create by coloring with copics and die cutting.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee. Gold dots to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at 

NBUS Challenge.     

EDIT:

I believe I posted the first card too quickly because after I looked at it something didn't look right.  So, I added another red leaf.  I now think that it looks more balanced.  Oh, well, live and learn, lol!

Ok, that's all for now.  I hope you all are doing well.  The weather has been warm and windy, but I'll take the warm weather.  And, the leaves are very beautiful this time of year.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

It's been awhile since I've been back here on my blog.  We were on vacation last week and we saw lovely fall color in Vermont.  The color on the trees was so beautiful!  We also managed to visit several more states along the east coast to meet our goal of visiting all fifty states!  The weather was a bit chilly at first in Vermont, but the days warmed up quite nicely as we visited the other states.

Anyways, I'd like to share with you the above card that I made for my niece.  The image and sentiment are from Lawn Fawn.  The tag die is from Sunny Studio.  I colored the image with copics.  I do have the male scarecrow, so I couldn't resist recently purchasing the female scarecrow, too, so cute!

Our last state that we visited was Delaware.  We stopped at a

Veteran's park and took this photo with our T-shirts.

While we were in Vermont, we saw this

 gorgeous tree in lovely color.

A view of the church in Stowe, Vermont.  They

were working on the steeple.

A highlight of our trip is when we were in Point Pleasant, NJ

and we met Bruce Springsteen at an ice cream shop.  Such

a nice down to earth guy, so sweet!

Ok, friends, that's all for now!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!
