another sunny hot day!!

Another beautiful morning here....as I was walking into work...the wind was blowing through my hair & the sun was out...I thought what a perfect day it would be to be playing outside.  Any thought is better then working all day : )  I get the office again to myself this morning, so the door is open letting the fresh warm air in again-wohoo!!  I seem to get so much more accomplished when no one is here!!

I love these 3d cupcakes, they are from Hobby Lobby.  This is actually the 3rd card I've made from the package...one more to go as there are only 4 in there.  I never use up packages of anything....even hard to use up patterned paper.  My supplies just keep growing....I'm as addicted to them as I am to make cards.  I hope there are others out there w/that problem-lol!!   My husband is always picking on about my supplies, that have now taken over 2+rooms-yikes : )   Don't worry ladies, I give it right back...my husband likes to collect "men" toys that take up room in our garage!  Keep in mind, he's not much of a tinkerer..but he does take things out for a ride every now & again....I tell him, at least I use my supplies just about everyday.  Actually my husband is my enabler....he likes to order from my "wishlist" on sb.com & always spoils me-lol!!

Well enough idle chit chat from me today...time to get some work done well I can.  I hope the sun shining in your next of the woods--have a great Tuesday!  TFL  Lynn

It's a hot Monday already!!

It's already 75 degrees here this morning...love the heat...suppose to get to close to 90 which for us is a total heat wave!!!!  Keep in mind I work indoors, where the set the air conditioning at 66...brrrr...I don't understand that...we have winter/cold months 7+ months out of the year & when it's cold out everyone is complaining  & when it's hot out, they need it cold inside!!  Right now I'm the only one at work & the air is OFF & I actually have the front door open to let some heat in before they freeze me out-lol!!

I had such a relaxing, enjoyable, almost lazy weekend : )  I did get some thing done around the house, had to do that stuff before I could play & I, of course, got some new cards made : )     Speaking of, relaxing, enjoyable....I think my new cards says all of those things & is perfect for this sunny Monday : ) 

My Martha Stewart grass punch is one of my fav. toys....I've gotten so much use it, totally worth the $$!  My hot air balloon is from Fancy Pants...it was originally why I bought the sheet.  Isn't is just so summery??   I felt the need to add a little more to this card, so I outlined the clouds w/glitter.  I hope this brightens your day!!  I sooooo hope for a quick & good work week!!  TFL!!  Lynn

WOOHOO- it's Friday!!!

Oh....I loved this short work week, boy could a girl get used to that : )  I have to say I'm very fortunate, the place I work at is pretty good about time off, good thing...I have a lot to us & I tend to take a lot of long weekends in the summer : )  For the record, I am at work today-yuk!!   If you didn't get a chance, please scroll down...(when done w/this post, of course-lol)  I did a second quick post yesterday.  Mom sent me some pics from the weekend & I had to share the action shot of Wilson : )   We don't have any major plans this weekend, which is a good thing, I need to make some cards & need to work on some other projects...I love lazy weekends : )   I have a feeling I'll be spending some time w/our washing machine too-yuk!!   The weather is suppose to be great again this weekend...since I won't be at the lake & we don't have a pool...might have to get in the hot tub, which this time of year my husband keeps kind of cool, so it's more refreshing...

I hope you like my new card, this was a "special order"...request was black & white w/red roses.  Can you believe this is the closest thing I had to a red rose...hmm...need to remember that when shopping.  Anyways, since I knew the person was going to the wedding I thought it ok to use this big 3D flower : )

I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend!!  TFL!!  Lynn

Wilson the swimming dog : )

This is my second post today, to see my new card please scroll down....


Just a quick post to share a picture of Wilson my swimming "flying" dog.  Thanks mom, obviously she reads my blog-lol!!

My fearless pooch, w/my honey & brother.  Notice I"m not in there...not a big fan of swimming in the lake, but loved Kayaking & riding the jet ski : )  Hope your Thursday is going well!!!  TFL!

Already Thursday...love these short work weeks : )

The sun is out & it's already Thursday, that helps my mood so much....now if only I didn't have to be at work : )  I guess I should start playing the lottery...if I want to dream about no working-lol!!   We had such a wonderful time this past weekend at the lake, it was sooo nice to be able to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather.  I have to admit, if I were at home, I would have spent most of the weekend inside & most likely around the scrapping table-lol!!   I wish I had some pics of this past weekend, but I'm hoping my mom took some & will share them w/me soon, so I can share them w/you...and I hope one of them is of my Wilson "flying" off the dock-lol.  Wilson loved to swim, actually he loved to jump off the dock!!  I shouldn't be surprised by that , Wilson doesn't seem to have much fear of things, he doesn't seem to realize there are consequences w/your actions..........oh, a dogs life : )  There were actually quite a few dogs w/us this weekend & one of them was a 1yr old lab, mix...Reggie, a real sweetie, him & Wilson were great together, seemed to be close to the same energy level : ) 

I did get one card made last night.  I had great intentions when I got home to get a bunch of cards made, I was pretty excited to get to it, but my brain got tired half way through-lol. 

I have to say, I think this card looks much better IRL, they always seem to lose something in the picture process & some more then others. 

Well, Happy Thursday & I hope it's a great one!!  TFL!  Lynn

It stinks to come back to work after a looong weekend : )

Of course, I'm running late today...could have stayed in bed for a couple more hours  : )  We had a very busy fun filled weekend & thank goodness, the weather was just about perfect-wooho!!  We spent alot of time outside,  I even managed to get a little bit of a tan, well right now it's a light pink, but should turn to tan & then disappear-lol.  Gotta get to my new card for the day....I made this last week...haven't made a card since Thursday & I am going through withdraw : )  We didn't get home till close to 8pm last night, but I have to admit I did try to start a card...my brain was tired, so I didn't get to far, but it's waiting for me to get out of work today-woohoo!

Need baby cards for my stash, so did a uni-sex one..love that little stork : )   If you follow my blog, you know we have lots of babies coming to our family this year..my brother, having a boy...my 1 cousin, having a boy...my husband's cousin, having a girl & my other cousin, not finding out...   I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing more baby cards soon : ) 

I hope everyone had  a safe & enjoyable weekend.  Time to clean off my desk & by the looks of it, might take me till Friday.  Have a great day, already Wednesday-woohoo!!!  TFL  Lynn

Happy 4th of July

Oh yeah...7+ hours till the weekend-WOOHOO!!!  The weather for the weekend is suppose to be absolutely perfect- double WOOHOO!!!   I couldn't tell you the last time I've spent a loong weekend or even a normal weekend outside...I'm hoping to come back w/a great tan : )  I"ll probably ended up being sun burned & all mosquito biting....still can't wait-LOL!!!  This will be the loongest I've been away from my scrapping supplies : (  I'm not bringing anything scrap related w/me...there just won't be time & certainly not the place.....I hope my brain will be filled w/fresh ideas when I return : )  

I thought my new card, perfect to post today : )  This card is for my Uncle, his b-day is July 6th.   Just thought since it was so close to 4th of July, i would incorporate the red, white & blue. 


I hope everyone has an relaxing, enjoyable, hot weekend!!!   I won't be back to blogging till Wednesday....so enjoy life & be safe!!!
