Peace and Smile

Happy Wednesday morning!

Carver is at my parents house... he spent the night with them last night! I thought I would post real quick before I go to get him! I was up until 3am trying to get some stuff done... piles cleaned up, etc! I still have lingering projects here and there. A few of them are now either done or almost done... woo hoo! Anyway...

These are two cards that I made for submissions. Obviously they were not accepted and you can probably see why! :) They are kind of fun but not my favorite cards. I was not using my strongest skills. There is no stamping... just patterned paper and stickers! I stink at using patterned paper and stickers!

Okay... well... hope you all have a great day! Making a run to the consignment store to drop off another load of Carver stuff. I have been very pleased with Carvers 'earnings' from going the consignment store route! There are pros and cons for any way that I could think of to get rid of his baby stuff! I think this was definitely the best way for me! :)

Peace and Love!

Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday! Today I am posting a couple of bday cards that I made recently... a boy bday card and a girl bday card! I was trying to use up some of my patterned paper. Of course I didn't make a dent in it but... hey... I tried!

We have had a busy long weekend... a great one but... wow... it has been busy! Today I am tuckered out but I am trying to get lots done! Carver goes to camp at church next week ... everyday! I am going to try and finish some projects around here so next week I will have a week to just clean my house from top to bottom. That will be nice!! :) I am looking forward to it and praying that Carver stays well so everything will go as planned!

Okay... well... I was trying to type this up while C was finishing up his lunch! He is done... now it is time for nap!

Hope you all have a great day!

Peace and Love!

Picnic at the Lake

Kind of at the last minute this afternoon... I asked the boys if they wanted to go have a picnic. They said yes so I packed a few sandwiches, etc.. and we headed out. We had a great time! Something different and definitely something we will do again and hopefully again! :)

Lots of pics that I want to post... if you are looking for cards.... go to the next post in line!! :)

Carver did really well. Last time we were at the beach... he was not a fan of the sand and the water. Michael and I were both really surprised that he liked the sand and he LOVED the water! Carver didn't want to get out! Next time we will come prepared with bathing suits, etc! :)

My boys

Eating Desert!

The Setup... :)

I have started keeping this quilt in our truck. I have a big black zippered bag that I keep stocked with things like this quilt, plates and napkins, extra clothes for Carver, etc etc. Just in case you wanted to know! :)

Feeding the geese (I guess that is what they are). They were scary... they even hiss... never knew that!

Carver's sand phobia.

Woo Hoo! Looks who is walking in the sand barefoot....

And he even got in the water... this is major progress people!!

Didn't take him long to start splashing!
I took this pic with my head turned... got lucky and think I got a pretty good shot!

Mommy and Carver

Drying off!

Peace and Love!

June CARDS Pub

Happy Friday!

This is a card that CARDS published in their June issue! Woo Hoo!

Perfect card to post before the weekend!

Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!

Carver and I went to Pump It Up and to Chick-fil-A with my childhood friend and his beautiful wife and their gorgeous twin girls! They are visiting from New York! Michael missed out on the fun in order to work on some home/banking stuff. Rates are so low right now... great time to refinance... just sayin!

So... we have lots of plans over the next few days! Looking forward to the food, fun and fireworks!

Peace and Love!!

Thursday Post

Happy Thursday!

Carver and I went to feed the ducks at the dam this morning! This was our first time doing this but we will definitely do it again. Probably every time our bread 'goes bad' we will take a trip to feed the ducks! Here are a couple of pics...


These are some cards that I have been working on for the quilt ministry at church. I made several of both and am working on more so I can try and get a pretty big stash for them. I don't want them to run out of cards and have to ask for more... not when I love making cards! That would be a shame! :)



Hope you all have a great day!

Peace and Love!
