Brrrr....Tuesday

I know I've said this before, but does Mother Nature not know what time of year it is????   Holy cow, it's cold & damp here today, not anywhere's near where it should be on May 17th!!!!  I almost dug back out the turtleneck sweater today, almost : )   I think it's suppose to be chilly & rainy most of the week....last week was such a tease!!!!

This was a quicky card for me....not a lot of layers or embellies, but as you can see I did get out the Cuttlebug & embossing folder.


I hope everyone has a great Tuesday & if you have any warmth, send it my way!!  TFL!  Lynn

I'm back : )

Not that I officially went anywheres, but I never posted again last week, since Monday : (   My husband did go to Las Vegas week though : )  I honestly believe a little break for husband & wife is a good thing, once in awhile!!  Keep in mind my honey was only gone Monday through Friday & I took Friday off to clean the house, so everything looked good for my honey's return : )  Wilson & I did enjoy our week, we did lots of cleaning, switched over my summer clothes & of course MADE CARDS : )

Since I'm running late on my post, better get to getting........

Does this card say summer or what?  I had started this card all different, but love the way it actually turned out.  Now that I've mentioned summer.....all last week, was absolutely gorgeous here, everyday in the 70s & no rain....it's been raining here now since Saturday & the high today is 50!!  What happened to our beautiful spring/summer weather, that had my back yard drying up?  I hope you have a wonderful Monday!!  TFL!  Lynn

Sunny Monday

It is a bright sunny day...all blue skies!!  I hope it stays like this, it's nice to think our backyard is drying up  :  )   We are actually suppose to have pretty good weather for the next couple days!  Overall the weather was good for this past weekend too!  I spent Saturday & Sunday w/mom, it was her special day, of course : )   As I mentioned on Friday....we did do some shopping. We actually went to an antique/ co-op kind of place...I found some old "flat" lace-yeah!!  Have you noticed how all the lace you can buy lately is kind of gathered/stitched??  I like the flat stuff, works much better on cards.  If anyone has a suggestion on flat lace, please let me know : )    Mom & I even got some scrapping in, we worked on the mini-gift boxes we do for our craft shows...it was fun!!!!  Last but not least we ate & ate & ate some more.  Thanks mom, I had a fun weekend!!!!!

Onto my new card & then off to work...still working on the report that's due on Friday-yuk!!

This is one of the  Mother's Day cards my mom received.  I"d love the show you the other one too, but I think my camera ate it or I didn't take  a pic of it....mom if you're reading this, can you take a pic & email me ....gotta love modern technology!! 

Anyway, time for work....have a great sunshiny Monday!!  TFL!  Lynn

Happy Mother's Day & TGIF!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!!!!!  I'm sooooo lucky I have a wonderful Mother, who is not only mom, but my best friend!!!!!   If you follow my blog, you know mom & I do a lot together...traveling, shopping, scrapping, eating, & just being together.  I really am aware of how LUCKY my brother & I are to have such a wonderful mom, she really is the "stitch that holds the family together".........I mean that in the best possible way, she's always the calming influence & has taught us so much about life & always w/such grace!!!  Thanks, Mom...Happy Mother's Day....I love you!!!!

I am off to see Mom tomorrow for the night...not sure what we are doing, but I'm sure we'll find some shopping & some good eats : )

Now, wouldn't you think I would have a Mother's Day card to show you today....well I would BUT my computer was being naughty last night when I went to upload, so "thinking of you" is what you get, which I think is pretty appropriate too...always thinking of Mom :  )


Everyone have a great weekend...mom's yours needs to extra great-lol!!!!   TFL   Lynn

The sun is out!!!!

OMG- I positive it's the sun, haven't seen it in a very long time, but it's there today : )  Temp right now is only 39 degrees, we need to work on that next.  Can't believe it's May & still soooo chilly all the time.  I have seen the weather report for next week & they did show some days in the 70's....omg that would be amazing.  I'm getting a pedicure tonight & my little toes are going to be awfully cold in flip flops, but on the positive side...my toes will look good -lol!!

Gotta get to my new card today & get to work.  I'm working on a quarterly report this time & it's due next week : )

How is this for sunshine!!!   If you haven't figured it out yet, I love bright colors & anything cutesy-lol!!  If nothing else, I hope my new card brightens you day!!  Happy Thursday!   TFL!  Lynn

Rain Rain Go Away

Holy cow-it's another rainy gray day...and to boot, it's coold!!!  I can't believe it's May & only 43 degrees out!   Rain rain rain it's all it's done for the last couple days & my back yard is a mess.  We've got Wilson leashed up out front now, but he seems to like it,..he gets to watch all the action on the street-lol!!  Speaking of Wilson, check out him & his cousin, Oscar...don't they look like good  boys : )

This was taken this past weekend when Mom & Oscar came to visit : )

Well better get to my new card, so I can get to doing some work since that is what I'm here for.  Luck for me this morning, I have the office to myself-YEAH!!!  Everyone else is at a Mortgage Meeting until noon- woohoo!!!!!

I would say my new card is extremely springy, bright  & happy....now if Mother Nature would follow my lead.  Have a wonderful day!!!!  TFL  Lynn

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
