Still HOT : )

Okay one more day of HOT weather & tomorrow's still suppose to be up there, but not w/the humidity we've been having.  Holy cow, yesterday you couldn't do anything outside w/out sweating.  I did enjoy the hot tub for awhile yesterday, it was refreshing : )  I got a couple more cards made last night too-woohoo : )  I certainly didn't feel like cleaning the house or do anything like that, that might need doing, but can wait till tomorrow-lol.  I'm hoping to catch up on a couple things this weekend, which includes some card orders that I've been putting off....my customer's have some creative ideas themselves, yet it's up to me to put their ideas to work...some times harder said then done....I love the challenge...after I'm done w/the card : )





Check out this cute little ballerina...oh, the toes shoes : )  I took ballet for 3 years in grade school, all I wanted to do was work my way up to "toe shoes"....never did get there....but I still want a pair of "toe shoes"!!!  Kind of hard to see in the pic, it was a light pink, plus the light gave it a glare...but it reads..."there's no one like you".


I hope everyone has a relaxing, safe & COOL weekend!!  TFL!!  Lynn

HOT HOT HOTTER THEN YESTERDAY : )

Today is going to be hotter then yesterday...right now I"m not complaining about the air conditioning at work -lol!!   I actually really like the HOT weather, but it does tend to make me lazy & my husband a little cranky-lol.  I have to say, the early mornings & later in the night are absolutely perfect out...warm but not hot & usually a little breeze & no sun beating down on you...just gorgeous!!!  We need some rain though, can't tell you the last time it rained here, my grass is turning brown & one of my new bushes in the landscaping is not enjoying life....I keep babying it, but I don't have a green thumb!!  Onto my new card...I did get a couple new ones done last night : )



I used all sorts of old products on this card.  My sticker is a "Me & My Big Ideas" & all of the paper is from my scrap drawer.... I love when that happens....my scrap drawer is over flowing w/bits & pieces : ) 

Have a great day...stay cool!!!!!  TFL!!  Lynn

HOT HOT HOT!!

Holy cow has it been HOT!!!  The next couple days are suppose to be even more hot & humid!!  I don't have the front door open this morning & YES the air is on : )   Boy does the weather make me lazy.  I did manage to get some cards done last night, though I didn't use any of my new stuff yet.  I already had these cards thought out or something like that : )  My process usually start w/what embellie/sticker I want to use & then I pull out @50 different sheets of pps & narrow it down from there.  I did pull out a couple new things to start the process w/but didn't get very far on that last night.  I'm sooo glad it's Wednesday already, always nice to have short work weeks!!


I was aiming for a masculine card on this one, though think you could use it for either.   This card looks much better in real life, not happy w/the picture, but they all looked like this.  Some cards just don't photograph well & this be one of them!!!   I love these 3D stickers, from American Crafts!!

Have a great day & STAY COOL!!!!  TFL!  Lynn

Great b-day Weekend!!

Oh, I had such a nice weekend, wish it wasn't over : )  I'm back to work & my desk is a MESS!!!   Let me push that to the back off my brain for the next couple minutes....what a fun busy weekend I had!!  Had a great time w/my girlfriend at the casino!!  Wish I could say my wallet enjoyed it, but it didn't....much lighter when I left!!   But, it was great to see & spend time w/my girlfriend!!    On Saturday Mom & Oscar came to visit.  We had some baby shower stuff we wanted to do.  We did fit in some shopping too : )  It has been extremely HOT here...I'm not exactly complaining, but it has been HOT!!!!!    I was spoiled rotten on my birthday!!  I have soooo much new scrapping goodies...I don't even know where to begin....but I'm going to have fun doing it!!   Well hate to cut this so short, but need to find my desk-yuk!!


I didn't get much time to make any new cards this weekend.  This is one I made last week.   My little sticker is a Recollection, from Michael's.  I have to say, they have some really cute stuff in that line, but their prices do seem to be going up, yep like everything else!!   

Well time to get to cleaning up my desk.  Have a great day!!  TFL!! Lynn

FRIDAY- need I say more...ok...woohoo!!!!

Can you tell I'm excited that today is Friday?!!!!  In less then 10 hours, my girlfriend & I will be at the casino..winning big money, enjoying their awesome buffet & having a couple drinks!!!   It's been almost  2 months since I saw my girlfriend, I'm so looking forward to it!!!!   Then tomorrow mom & Oscar are coming for a little stay : )   We have some work we need to do for my brother & SIL's baby shower....we aren't doing the traditional baby shower w/all ladies, we are doing a family one : )  I'm 100% sure we will end up in a fun craft store w/lots of aisles of scrapping goodies-lol.   Speaking of goodies, my b-day is on Monday....my honey got me a box of goodies from sb.com & he's had it sitting out since it got to our house a week ago...what a tease, he didn't even take the tape off the box!!  I've begged him for a piece of paper or 2, but he hasn't budged!! I swear I was like a little kid at the store when mommy says NO...I pouted-lol!!!   So, I'm pretty certain I'll be having some new goodies to play w/next week.  Mom is very good about gifting scrapping supplies for b-days too- hint hint mom-lol  : )   So needless to say..I'm excited for my fun filled, busy weekend : )  Think "big winnings" for the casino, for me.  I can use all the good luck I can get...I don't often do very well at the casino, but I do try-lol!!!


Better get to my new card & get to work.  I'm aiming on getting out of here early today-woohoo!! 

My pink kitty is a K & Company's 3D sticker & I used an old piece of Pink Paislee on this.  As always had the Cuttlebug & Cricut out for this one too...like I actually ever put those away-lol!!

Hope you've had a great week & hope your weekend is even better!!!  TFL!!!!    Lynn

yuk- another work day!

Can you tell by my title today....I have NO desire to be at work!!!  At least right now I'm here by myself, so I can get some work done.  No, I don't have the front door open today, a little chilly this morning..60degrees.  It is suppose to get up to 80 today & then go up from there all weekend w/no rain!!   I'd almost feel bad about spending time inside at the casino, but let's be honest...if I wasn't at the casino I'd be at my scrapping table making cards : )   I have to admit I was very very lazy last night & didn't even get 1 card finished : (  I was just having one of those lazy nights.  I had been tired all day & once I got home, I had no desire for much of anything.  It was nice to just sit around watching tv & chatting w/my honey : )




Check out this cutie!!  This is my best friend's little guy, Evan....I can't believe he turned 1 at the end of May!  He's always smiling & such a good good boy  : )   My girlfriend is leaving this little guy for the night on Friday & we are off to the casino.


 
 Here's the card I made for little Evan.  Obviously  made it awhile back, as his b-day is May.  I was waiting for an updated pic to load it though.  Just had to share that sweet smile w/you : )

Have a great day & as always, thanks for looking!!!  Lynn

Half way to the weekend-woohoo

I'm running late today...of course the minute I got into work the phone was ringing & had to deal w/a problem-yuk....not the way to start my work day!!  Hopefully the problem is solved  : )  yeah, already Wednesday...half way to the weekend.  My best friend is coming to visit on Friday & we are going to the casino for the night-woohoo.  I haven't been to our casino in a while, so I'm hoping for a big win : )   Mom is visiting this weekend too, so w/my big winnings we can go scrap shopping -lol- oh, a girl can dream!!! 


I hope you enjoy my new card.....I don't do much stamping & coloring, but just had the itch the other day!  This is one of my favorite stamps, my honey bought it for me a a year or so ago...I think he was quite pleased to see I had used it again : )

Have a great day!!  TFL!!  Lynn
