Fourth of July: What are you doing?

What are you doing on the Fourth of July? Beach, Picnic, River? Well my family is coming up and we are going to be eating the standard Catholic Church Chicken Stew (a local Catholic Church always makes chicken stew and barbeque) and a smoked Boston But from the local High School Football team fundraiser. So we are pretty much going to sit back and eat. My daughter is planning on making a rather difficult patriotic dessert. I will post a picture if it turns out. To make my blog more patriotic, I'm posting some patriotic cards! Happy Fourth of July!

I've been learning to knit!

A good friend of mine has introducted me to a new hobby. OH NO! Says my husband. Everytime you get a new friend, they come with a new hobby. Knitting is fun so far. I haven't done anything hard still just practicing. Can't wait to really do something neat!

Lost Kitty

Had a really fun day today. We lost our kitty Lulu. She does not go outside, so we knew she was in the house. My other cat, Mittens, knew something was wrong and talked to me all day, but I couldn't understand what he wanted. He was saying that Lulu was locked in the linen closet! We didn't find her until this evening when my son opened the door to the linen closet and out fell a very sleepy Lulu. She has kept all of us in her sight the rest of the evening and Mittens was so tired of trying to tell us where she was that he has gone to bed. What a day! Ok so my neighbors house got in here and I'm not that computer savy and can't get rid of it. Oh well, better luck tomorrow.

Snow, Again in the Heart of Dixie!

Can't believe we have been snowed in again in the "Heart of Dixie" We have missed 3 days of school and are getting a little cabin fever. The whole neighborhood had a great time playing in the snow and making snowmen and women and sledding. For some of us who have lived here our whole lives this is the only the second time we have had a snow like this in our lifetime.

The first pic is of most of our street, the second is of dear daughter sledding! Thanks to Nana for taking the pictures!

What Fun!

Page I want to case!

I saw this page on Delta Phi Scrappa website, they will do this at their annual convention. I really like it, it's simple and elegant and I think I can case it pretty well! I'll be snowed in tomorrow and no school, soooo, I'm going to try to scap!

I finally made a card, actually an invitation. I belong to a "supper club" and it was my turn to host. There are 6 couples. My theme was "southern home cooking" . The picture is of my invitation. I know it says 'Bon Appetit", but anyway, you know I love French. We had country steak and gravy, homemade chicken and dumplings, candied apples, cabbage casserole, mashed potatoes, and Jack Daniels Chocolate Pecan Pie. I must say it went well and everyone loved the food.

New Year's Post January 1, 2010

Well another year comes around. I'm going to try to do better to post more often. I have my workroom stocked and ready to make things! New stamps and papers! I can't wait. One of my resolutions is to make at least one thing a week, anything.

We also had a White Christmas here in North Alabama, my first since I was 3 years old! It was beautiful! My kids have never had a White Christmas. I would love to use some of my pictures to make Christmas cards for next year, any suggestions how to do this?

Back from Europe!

Finally I'm back from my trip. It was really great and I will be posting some pictures later. I am working now on my craftroom. It's not really big. But at least it's a room just for me. I painted it a smoky blue and the furniture is black. Now I am trying to arrange things in it to look nice. I have so much I don't know if this can be done. Here are some pictures of how I wish it could look, at least the neatness of the rooms. When I'm done I'll post my pictures.

Off to Europe!

Sorry again about so long in posting. My son and I are off to France and Italy. We are going to Paris, Nice and Eze France and Pisa, Florence and Rome, Italy. Of course we will hit all of the tourist spots and hopefully some non tourist spots, I'll have lots of pics and some inspiration for cards. I hope to get to go to a flea market to get some French/Italian ephemera. Bon Voyage!

Cute Kitty

I love the pic of the kitty and the lady bug! I have 2 furry babies, Mittens and Lulu. I am in the middle of making them scrapbooks, yes I know scrapbooks for kitties, but hey they are part of the family!

New Stamp Set!

Another post 3 months later, I'm really not doing so good. Anyway school is about out, Hooray! and my craftroom is ready for me to move into it, I'm going to take some pics tonight and post. My only problem is I don't know how to organize my materials. I want everything to be positioned just right so I can have access to everything. I'm trying to plan a floor plan. If any of you have an idea let me know. It's 12x12 and painted a French Blue. I want the furniture, which I already have most to be black, I even have a huge rub-on of the Eiffel Tower that I want to put in there.
Anyway I have a new stampset. It's not brand new to the company, but new to me. I have several friends who love tea, I mean they have it every morning and evening so I planned to make them cards with this set. Of course it's a teapot with a lot of cute sayings. I have posted some samples from the Papertrey site, the link is in the title, that are really cute! I hope you like them, and when I make mine, I'll post them too. Thanks to the followers, you are my first and have inspired me to keep this blog up to date, I hope I do not disappoint you!

Finally a post!

I recently had time to look through my stamps and found some I wanted to make cards with. I have been collecting images for a while so I do not know who to attribute these cards to, I plan to do better. But I have all of the stamps the cards are made with and I really want to make some with them. These have really given me some great ideas and I love the images. Hopefully I'll post some that I made soon!

New Year, New You!!!!

Happy New Year! 2010! I hope to be a better blogger. I would also like to make many more cards and other things. One type of card I thought that I would start with is the card with the dress on it. I saw this at at a workshop and thought that it was very cute! Let you know how it goes!

Summer is moving too fast!

Summer is moving too fast and I still have alot that I want to do! First I need to clean up my scraproom! Yuk! Hopefully I can make things soon to put on here. Now enjoy a picture, I'm sorry I can't put an author to it,but I thought that it was really cute!

Finally!

Finally back to blogging, been away, this whole semester. School has sucked all the life out of me. It will be over in two weeks, I have lots to show! Check back soon. Glad to be back
