Another gray rainy Monday!

What is w/all this rain??????  It seems like just about everyday since it's stopped snowing, it's been raining!!!   It hasn't even really warmed up the way it should either.  I haven't even started getting my summer clothes out & I can't wait, it's like having all new clothes-LOL.  Actually some of them probably are new clothes...you know, you go shopping at the end of the season & find those really good deals & then you put them in the closet w/the tags still on them-lol. 

I had such a nice weekend!!!  Mom & Oscar came to visit!!  Mom & I went to see Wicked, awesome musical!!  We actually saw it a year or 2 ago for the first time & it was once again included in our season tickets this year.  I have to admit I'm not a fan of the Wizard of Oz by any means-yuk.  So the first time we saw Wicked I wasn't expecting to like it, in the end I loved it!!!!   Of course, mom & I did lots of eating & even managed to get in some shopping.  Had to get a couple new scrapping supplies : )  Yesterday I even managed to get some new cards made, which is a good thing, as I'm still filling my Mother's day orders.


I think my new card will brighten the day, it does mine, anyways : )


I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend & I hope the week is just as good!!      TFL!  Lynn

Sunny Springy Wednesday

Yeah, it finally feels like Spring, heck it actually feels like summer this morning!!!  The sun is out & it's 61 degrees!!!!!  Now if only I didn't have to work today & if only I hadn't just gotten to work & my boss is already here!  This will sound petty, but I love a little time alone in the office to start off my day...  I don't want to have to be chatting w/my boss about work right when I walk in the door.  Okay enough complaining, it's such a gorgeous day out, that should help my attitude-LOL!!!!


My new card brightens my day too : )  I love anything Echo Park, all of there stuff is so bright & happy!!  The flowers on this card are from a 12x12 pp sheet of theirs!!  I've been loving felt pieces as little added extras on my cards lately too!!

Well better get to work, my boss is waiting on something already....err doesn't he know I have my own things to do-lol!  Have a fantastic Wednesday- half way to the weekend!!!  TFL  Lynn

Quick Tuesday post

Busy busy morning already...this is the first fee second I've had since walking in the door.  To look at that bright side, 2 1/2 hours of my work days is already over : )   Man did we get rain last night.  It must have rained steady for 3/4 hours, I thought my neighbors ditch was going to overflow into my driveway-yikes!!!  So far today the sun is trying to break through the clouds & it's 52 here-heat wave!!!

I hope everyone had a good Easter.  Ours was very enjoyable.  We did sunrise service w/my mother-in-law & then we all went to brunch w/my family!!!  Our time was short together, but it was a great time!!!!  Oh yeah, the Easter bunnies brought me some new scrapping goodies : )




I hope everyone enjoys my new card & has a wonderful Tuesday!!!  TFL!!  Lynn

Happy Easter

Yes, I know a couple days early....but I know how life goes & WANTED to make sure to wish all my friends & family a HAPPY EASTER!!!!  Around here it sounds like the Easter bunny is going to need some rubber boots & a heavy coat...Spring just hasn't gotten here weather wise..it's only 37 out now : )   I'm looking forward to seeing my family for Easter, haven't seen my brother & SIL in 3/4 months...that's a long time for us, but it's hard during the winter w/snow-yuk!!!  We are going to Easter brunch, yummy, I can't wait!!! Just think next year, we will have a little one joining us for the holidays...actually "baby Brown" is due beginning of October, so all the holidays will have added joy : )



My new card today HAD to be Easter : )

I hope everyone has a wonderful & safe Easter weekend!!!  TFL!!  Lynn

A gray rainy Wednesday again!

Wow is it gray outside today...not even a glimpse of the sun so far & it must have rained pretty good last night as my backyard now looks like a lake again!!  We've moved Wilson to the front yard on his rope as the other day I caught him playing in the mud puddles...don't get me wrong it was the cutest thing!  He reminded me of a little boy making mud pies in his Sunday best -LOL!!

I'm hoping my new card will brighten your day as much as it does mine!!!  I'm in love w/this little guy on the skateboard (Pink Paislee new Hometown Summer line)!!!  Everything about this card says summer to me...oh to think...and I'm still waiting on spring to get here : ) 
Well better get back to work!!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!!  TFL!!

Go Sabres!!!

where did the weekend go??

Happy Monday!!  I can't believe how fast this past weekend went, why can't the work week seem to go that fast-lol!!!  I hope everyone had a great relaxing weekend, we did!!!  I have to say the weather was altogether crappy all weekend, it actually SNOWED yesterday.  No worries, none of it stuck.  Actually Saturday morning, I noticed all sorts of trees w/buds on them & I even have a couple flowers in the front of the house.....spring is ALMOST here.  Can you believe Easter is this coming weekend??  My Easter baskets aren't as filled as they need to be....this Easter Bunny will be doing a little shopping this week : )

Speaking of Easter, my new card for you today is.... EASTER : )

I am officially done w/my Easter cards...I actually moved on to Mother's Day cards this past weekend, but haven't had time to take the pics, plus yesterday was too gray to take good pics.  So far today the sun it out, so hopefully after work : )   oh, did I say after work, only 5 hours to go!!

I know it's hard to see in the pic., but the sentiment says "HAVE A TWEET EASTER".


I hope this helps to brighten your day! Have a great Wednesday!!  Oh yeah,  GO SABRES!!!    TFL!  Lynn

Wet Rainy Wednesday

Now this is typical spring weather for us- rainy & chilly.  It must have rained alot during the night, because my backyard, which was just drying up is a lake!!  My poor Wilson, after going outside he has to then dry off in the garage for a bit.  You should see his little face when I leave him out there, oh too cute : )

As of last night, I am officially down w/Easter cards for the year.  That doesn't mean I won't be loading some more to show you as I still have to take pics of my new ones & I love sharing them w /you : ) 


Believe it or not, today's card is NOT an Easter card.  I don't tend to work on one type of card all the time, I like to mix it up.  Like I've said before in most cases, I make whatever "jumps out at me"....just my way : )    This was a real quicky card w/just alot of layering.    I do think it's perfect for a Spring B-day though.
I'm starting Mother's Day cards tonight...I got a big order for those yesterday-woo hoo!!!!

Well time to get to work & make some money to pay the bills...so then I can go home & make cards : )  Have a great Wednesday!!  TFL!!  Lynn
