A Week Away!

I've got a new job this week...moved into town to care for my two oldest granchildren! I had forgotten how tiring it is, making meals for choosy eaters, laundry and running the roads to their different activities. I did have a rest from the driving on Tuesday, as my grandson is taking Drivers Ed..so he wanted to drive to the school and back.....he did really well..I warned him not to scare his Nana...he said not to worry "I don't drive fast"....teehee!
We also have a new addition at their house, Stewie, a smorky puppy, who is adorable but adds to the looking after, unlike Oreo (Guinea Pig) who just squeaks to be fed and watered.
I did bring my cardstock to prepare for class on Sunday, April 3rd, 1-3pm. We will be making 4 one layer cards and I will post pics afterwards. If you signed up I'll see you there, otherwise until next time, Nana duties call...Enjoy the sunshine!

Wonderful Weddings!

On Sunday I spent a lovely afternoon with friends making Wedding Invitations...sorry no pics of those..the bride-to-be was thrilled with the results! Whilst there I had borrowed (used) a couple of dies, punches...so as a thankyou I made a sample for my friend...hope she doesn`t mind me sharing these with all of you.
The little box holds a small candy or kiss and you can fill the rabbit with lots of ideas!

Men!!!

These cards were made with samples from a sheet of DP with the images and stickers ready to use...not StampinÙp but`I had someone in mind when I spotted them...

All or Nothing

Do you like my post title....I seem to go sooooo looooong without giving you all something to read or see and then it hits me...I haven`t taken pics or updated and had better get to it! These next pics came from me being able to spend time at my craft table just playing for me but if you see something you like I can show you how it`s done in a class! Hope you enjoy them!

Spring is in the air!

Today the snow is disappearing! The temperature has warmed up and I hear the sound of melting snow! The pheasants, jays and chickadees are all back to the feeders...just waiting for the first robin!
Tomorrow class is for Easter, makes my heart sing to be using those lovely spring colours. I'll post the cards and treat holder after class...don't want to spoil the surprise for my girls who have signed up...keep watch!

Stamp-a-Stack





These are the sample cards from our recent Stamp-a-Stack. The weather was atrocious but 10 brave souls came out to the house to make 3 of each for a total of 12 cards.
