Time to get back to it...

Oh my what a long summer and I just haven't blogged at all.   I still use this place as mostly a scrapping site but I have committed to blogging everyday in Oct so you may see some other things mixed in there.   A recipe, funny story, just a photo of the sun rising here in AZ.  

So with that said here is a little card that I just loved making with the harlequin dolls.   It is currently in my etsy shop but I will pull it around Oct 25th if it doesn't sell and send it out to my dd.  I should make more Halloween cards and send them out.   I have this stamp set and love it and have friends who would get a kick out of a card.hmmmmmmmmmmmm.  

Another Beautiful Saturday Morning

Yep it is beautiful and yet I found myself at the grocery store this early morning.   I did get the garden watered and my flowers too.   I wanted to share a card I made with some of the new October Afternoon paper found in the Scrapbook Doodle store.   The sticker elements made it so easy and quick.   I love the colors.  Here is a link to the shop.   http://scrapbookdoodle.com/  Thanks for looking.

HOP on by

It's the first and hopefully not the last blog hop for Scrapbook Doodle.   My home for scrapping needs on the net. It is a fun board with some of my favorite people posting.   Yvonne has a great shop and has some of the best customer service around.   Here kits rock and one of the latest ones featured this Fancy Pants paper line.

This photo is one of my favorites from the many cruises I have had the opportunity to take.  We are with our friends the S's who we always travel with and so enjoy.   Everytime you get on board for the first time you have to have a photo taken.   We decided that all of ours look awful from previous times so lets do something silly.   N and S have taken scuba lessons so we did the "shark sign" in honor of them.  

Now let me explain a few things.   This is a blog hop.   LEAVE  a comment here please.   If you do leave comments at each blog in the hop you will be entered into a drawing for a prize which is top secret.  PLEASE hop on over to Sherri's blog next, leave some love and have a great time.   http://myordinarylifemorrisway.blogspot.com/ Oh and I will be posting something new the next few days on my blog here.  

Also the master list will be in the Birthday thread so if you get lost on the hop please check there.   Have fun gals.

WOW

It's another beautiful spring day here.   I love gardening at this time of year.   Well my married kids took the plunged and moved south to the SLC area.   They will live only a few miles from E.  That is so weird to think they are that close now.   Sure makes summertime vacations easy for us.    Not a lot of variety though.

I have been biten by the vintage bug.   I am loving anything vintage looking right now as far as card making goes.   So here is a little Mother's Day card I have made up.   I hope to make a Father's Day one here soon.

Oh be sure and check back here this weekend as it is the Scrapbook Doodle Blog hop and I will have a new post and there will be some great blogs to hop on over to from here.

Loving the weather....it's spring

What a beautiful Monday morning here.   The air is cool, the sun is out, and my plants are growing as are the weeds.   I will be weeding this week and trimming up the roses.   Everything is so pretty today.  

Thought I would share a photo of one of the roses from the garden.

Scrapbook Doodle is having a crop.

It's been awhile since I have blogged but what a great excuse I now have now that my favorite scrapbooking place on the net is having a crop.  It starts on April 16th and runs for 2 weeks.   There are challenges, games, and of course prizes.  I hope to see some of you come and join in the fun.   http://scrapbookdoodles.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=48


In the meantime here is a little something I recently made.

So it's been awhile

It is a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in the desert Southwest.   I haven't blogged in forever.   I really wish I could share with you the smells from outside my window.   The oranges trees are blooming and the grapefruit will bloom next week.   This week is gardening week.   I have plans for peas, tomatoes, radishes, several different peppers, and flowers of course.   I hope the yard is pretty for R's bridal shower that is next Saturday.

Here is a little card I made this week.   I love this paper line.  It is part of the Early Bird kit that you can find at Scrapbook Doodle.  http://www.scrapbookdoodle.com/2010kitmarch3.html
