Just had our Son Doug and Grandsons here for the weekend. Hope they had a good time. We did. Took them to a movie. It is really hard to find something to do when it is 110 degrees! We used to have a pool, but we don't anymore. Ugh. We went through our new house, and some other big expensive models. Told the kids not to get to excited, ours is about half that size! It was hot going up and down the stairs of the new ones. Luckily ours is a one story.  We are looking like the garage in the house here, with all the boxes stacked up. Supposed to have 12 days to go. 


Yum Krispy Kremes with Zach & Andrew!

I did have a really nice birthday this year. So far it has spanned about a week and a half! I got some beautiful cards, crafty stuff & 3 (yes count them), 3 lunches with 3 friends. Talk about blessed!! The explosion card was a suprise in the mail from Dawn. Love it!

 

This is just too adorable! All the girls came and thought it was beautiful! I wish my pictures were better.

 

Yesterday Em came and we sorted out OLD stuff in the garage. Sure hard to part with some things! It was hot so even if we weren't out there long, it seemed like forever.

Today I want to share a couple cards Linda F, Em, and I did a few weeks ago. Sometimes it takes me that long to photograph (or actually) find something. We played around with foil.

Both were made with the strips of tape. Fun & easy! I did one with the adhesive, but I was slopppy, so stay tuned for more sparkling foil goodies!
Thanks for looking!

New month, new day! We have been busy and we will get really busy as August progresses! We are moving yet again. Hopefully this will be it for a very long time. The actual packing is where we are now. A couple girlfriends came over this week, instead of making cards, we packed up the book shelves and two hutches. Today Al and I packed up and washed everything on the pot shelves. Yep, this is what it looks like. Note... take pictures of your walls/ shelves if you like them, so you can put up your 'goodies' again easily. Forgot.

New Kitchen 
I will add our day to day 'moving' activities and I will try to add some card ideas!
Thanks for looking!
