Holiday Cards

As promised, here's some of the holiday cards I've been working on...Most of them are redos...Some I just threw together and other are lifts...I really can't take the credit for any of them, as I'm sure through surfing I've seen so many cards that anything I may put together has already done by others...So thanks to all you card makers out there...

Playing Catch Up...

Once again, it's been ages since I've posted anything...Things have just been super busy around here for me...A little bit of this and a little bit of that has kept me quiet busy...I've always wanted a deck in the back of the house for some lawn furniture in the summer...It's much easier to leave the furniture there then taking it off the grass for the lawn people...So that special man in my life decided to do that for me and he did a fantastic job...It started off small and got bigger and bigger...and I luv it...I had also wanted some shelves in a closet...I felt that as we've gotten older, it's a little easier to have those staple items in area that's easier to reach than running up and down the stairs...Especially since I always forget something on the first trip...lol...So he also put some shelves in for me and they to look great...He's definitely been on a roll...

As for me, I've just been staying out of his way...lol...Actually I've been making cards out of scraps...Plus while looking for something that I knew I had, I found all kinds of fun stuff to use on Christmas Cards...Some I like better than others and I think my problem is that I'm afraid to add stuff to my cards or my layouts...Therefore I think I need to try to load it down w/stuff and then if I don't like it, I can always take it off...Of course that's before I glue it all down...

Since I'm basically caught up on things, except for cleaning, I'll be uploading some of creations in the next couple of days...

I've also signed up for another FREE Jessica Sprague...I'm looking forward to that too...Looks like I need more than 24 hours in the day, or just go without sleep...

Hands of Time

The last couple of weeks have been hectic to say the least...With everyday things going on, thinking of more stuff for my to do list, and then unexpected things, I've had little time to scrap or do much of anything else...My dad has been in and out of the hospital for the last month or so and hopefully things will be moving in a positive direction now...He's had problems with his blood pressure for as long as I can remember...But the continued high blood pressure and then low blood pressure readings have given difficulty over the last month...He's now at the Cleveland Clinic under careful watch and they think they have things where they need to be regarding his medication...Sometime today he will go to the step down unit and be monitored there for a coupe of days before being sent home...He's 86 and if you saw him on the street you would never know it...Being idle is not his thing, so he's hoping to get cut loose soon so he can go back to his way of living with some moderation to that....The end result of the problem seems to be that his body was laking fluids, therefore creating pain, discomfort, and a few other issues...According to his doctor they believe they finally have the tweaking down to a science regarding his medication and if all goes well in the next couple of days, he will be able to come home...

I just finished this LO and wanted to post it and today seemed like the perfect day. I'd like to thank Nancy P over at http://www.scrapadilly.com/ for giving me the ok to lift her LO...I new I had the perfect picture and once she posted hers, I knew I also had the perfect title...I luv to scrap and make cards, but I'm really out of sorts in the creativity department...I do so much better with a page map or lift...So once again, thanks Nancy P...

New Stuff

It's about time that I start posting again...I've been having a real good time, just doing my own thing and have become lax in other things...so without further ado, here are a couple of layouts that I've completed for the crop over at Scrapadilly.com

The crop is still going on and the challenges are awesome...I for one really like the color challenge and the sketch challenge...Some people are lucky to have imaginations and come up with some great stuff...Not me, I need a little extra help...If I must say so myself, I continue to go out of my box just a little more and more each time...At least I'm trying some different things and if I don't like them, I can at least say I've tried...I'm sure I'm way behind on things compared to others...As an example, I have yet to finish my acrylic album...they're probably obsolete by now...but at least I have the paper cut...might just be a small project to finish while visiting the camper...

Hopefully I'll be updating more often and thanks for stopping in and have a wonderful week...

It's Been Awhile...

I really don't have an excuse for not updating in such a long time...Not sure if anyone really reads this or checks out any of the links, but I've decided that this is outlet for me...I'm always willing to share a new idea or technique...And I definitely can just babble on and on...

Since my last posting, I've been busy trying some different things in the area of scrapping...I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone...I'm working on a challenge right now and felt the need to walk away...The layout itself needs more, but I'm just not sure what...I also made some cards today for a fun challenge at www.scrapadilly.com They have monthly challenges and a great group of ladies that are always full of encouragement...

As a matter of fact, I'm going to be meeting up with a couple of those ladies in the near future...I can hardly wait...We've talked on the phone many times and to be able to meet them IRL is going to wonderful...Best part is, that right now I'm on a scrappy spending freeze...The freeze will end when we meet and then look out...It's kind of nice as I'm using up things that I forgot I had...I'm also finding things that I purchased and I can't figure out what I liked about it...So I have a box of goodies that I'm going to pass on to my scrappy friends...

I've made several LOs in the past month and I'll be posting some of those creations tomorrow...I think I'm going to see if I can finish up my challenge LO...

Thanks for stopping in...
