 Good morning again! Without the usual chat, I will get right to the cards for today. Spellbinders Topsy turvy cake die!

                  Enjoy my chocolate cakes, now the multi flavor cakes of choice! Yum!

                                         

                   These cards are really fun and easy to make. Hope you liked them!

 Good morning! Well maybe, it is going to be busy here for the next few weeks! Just got my craft room set up nicely.

Filling up the space fast! We brought a U-haul truck & 3 U-boxes. So far we unloaded all but one pod. That was supposed to be today. But we bought flooring for the entire house! Good news, bad news. We have to pack everything up again! FYI: the totes under the table are (yes), scrap paper. I brought way to much stuff!

     Yesterday Al took down the DR table and chairs. Wow. Got the TV on the wall, so don't have to move that one. This is a major project. We had the carpets cleaned in here, but they are still stained and ugly. We just need to get this done. Really do have cards to show, but since this was longer than planned. I will do another post.

                                    Thanks for looking!

 Good morning! This will be fast and easy. I made a couple cards using the Tim Holtz Gentlemen dies and just had to share. They are perfect silhouette dies. Of course, a great card for a man. 

                                          Yes, that is it for now!

                                         Thanks for looking,

Thursday

 Good Morning! Not so early today, but some hint of sunshine! Hopefully you will see some  'sunny' cards today.

 This is different, but we do have the Pinkfresh studio around the shape circles (stamps), the circle flora, the circle flora dies and stencils. I love this set and would have liked more time to play!

                     I did do some extra  'around the circle words' and a couple of the flora half circles.

                                           

          Notice the pretty stenciled greeting with dies included.

                        Oops didn't edit that last one! But anyhoo....

                                             Thanks for looking!

Tuesday

 I just found this one that I did before we left. I loved Embossing Arts stamps. This is the Pansy. We (Al and I) are taking alot of mounted stamps off the wood. Stamping some of the old stamps on a misti is the only way to get a good image. The big decision is whether to put them on the cling backing. If I haven't stamped it in 15 years .....yes, am I really going to use it ever again?

                                                      Thanks for looking again today!!

 Good Morning! Yes it is 5:00Am and I have been up a long time. Still unpacking and organizing stuff that I haven't seen since last Summer. Overwhelming to say the least. So this is my break! 

This is one of two dies in a set from Spellbinders. It is called French braid and hexagon panel. So this is the hexagon die. The cards are all mini slimline. 

                         Added flowers on this one, but you could easily add a character, or an animal, or balloons or, the list is endless!

                                 These are pretty easy to do!

                                      Thanks for looking!

 HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.        

 Yes, we are moving slowly forward.... There are pictures all over the place, and this time the TV is on a stand.....Ugh. Need to get it on the wall. Trying to decide how to decorate around it. Another Ugh. Would have put it above the fireplace, but it would have been 'too high' to watch! 

                      Think this was one from Ali Express. I like anything with a bunny 'tail'! Too cute really! And it is Easter week.

                                    Thanks for looking!

We are finally here, our thousand mile move is over. Now just putting away everything in the smaller place. The good news is my craft room is bigger. Not that much, but you can walk around the table! The top pic is my old craft room, and the second pic is the new one. The picture is from the door way. Trust me, it is bigger! Ha.

Lucy is home. She has her bed and a big window!

Let me say a couple things about family! Wow, are we blessed! Dawn and Kurt cleaned this 'dirty' house. They painted every room before we came. I can't even.... They changed the yucky refrigerator filter, they cleaned up the yard, hung closet doors, curtains  and more....... Ben, our granddaughters husband and his friend, Fudge did help paint, and they unloaded the U-haul in record time. One more, on Sunday, Dawn and Stacy (granddaughter) set up my entire kitchen! OK, don't forget Doug came just to help his dad load the truck, and  drive Lucy & I in the car while Al drove the U-haul.

I think I was pretty chatty, so I will move along and share some cards.
