spring flowers for Marcia

good morning again, I have a big pot of stew in the oven and chili on the stove top simmering, Man is it starting to smell good in the house.  My pastor is coming over for a donation I have for the Lent dinner coming up Wed.  I sure hope he doesn't get any lunch ideas because it won't be ready. Anyway, I am going with spring flowers from walk in my garden, and the grass I found in Kate's abcs


for Matt

good morning to all,  Cold enough for you?  Wow, we can not get rid of this cold we are in, I sure hope I do not complain about how hot the summer is.
I love this fish on my Indie Art cartridge and have made in many times. I saw an over sized fish like this one on pinterest and with fishing season starting in May. well here you go...did not pin it ,so don't know who give credit (sorry)

Clara is turning 3

When I was talking to my sister and asking what Ava likes, she reminded me that Clara's bd is coming up soon also. So I made hers right away and can send them at the same time. I have not made a paper doll for some time and thought it was time to get the cartridge out.


Card for Ava

Hello to all,   another good day to stay inside and make a card, sad thing about it, the sun is shining so bright and it looks so inviting to be out side. I was out there for just a little and the wind says go back in.
I was told that Ava likes ponies, CAC has a cute one and I used the fence from pooh and friends.

card for Colin

good morning to all,  oh boy!!! it is starting to snow again, I was hoping it would hold off til later this afternoon, because I have to take my daughter to work tonight.Praying we do not get the sleet mix they are talking about....about the card,  this morning on the news it had a story about a little boy who's mother asked him if he wanted a party for his 11th birthday. he said no because he has no friends. I found an address on youtube   I found this sketch from deconstructed sketch
and thought it would make a cute card, will make it again!!

OH MAN!!!! in just that little bit of time, it is snowing like crazy.

thank you for sweet words

Hello to all, I made this card for a woman at church, she had made my day Thursday (at a funeral) by telling me how great I  am looking. See I have lost 55 pounds (and counting) and she is the first from church, other than my girlfriend, to say something. Since we were at a funeral, I just said thank you very much and left it at that. She has no idea how good she made me feel, so I made this card this morning before we left for church and left it in her mail box. We have a wall of slots where we can leave messages.

Jeremiah's BD card

good morning to all, this one is for my s-i-l    I saw this card on pinterest  card made by
Visit texascountrygirl28.blogspot.com
what I thought was so cute about it. was that the tools do not match the screws and nails on the boards and that there are plenty holding them in place.
I made the wrenches with George and basic shapes with my Design studio

sympathy

Hello to all, Yesterday between church services , one of or members had died.She had been in a home for a very long time with Alzheimer. She was 86.  I have known the family for over 30 years, because my daughter and her granddaughter went to school together, what is so nice is these kids still keep in touch.
I made 2 cards at the same time because it seems that deaths run in 3's. Don't know why, they just do.
