'A Little Wild'

Check out this adorable little elephant.  It is from the set- 'A Little Wild'!

I just love the way this card turned out!  

This new gingham ribbon is super cute!!  And check out the dotted paper.  What is it?  It is the reverse side of the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate on page 194.  Be sure you look it up in your annual catalog!

I also used the new Starburst Punch that is layered behind the elephant here.

Note:   I adhered the acetate to the Whisper White card stock using Glue Dots.  I pressed the back side of the acetate directly to onto the Glue Dot roll, putting them on, so that they were behind the dots on the acetate.  And you can barely see them.  I put one Glue Dot on all 4 corners.

Yesterday was a busy day full of boys!!  Baylor was really good & I think he had fun playing with our boys.  

Last night the kids were all here for supper to celebrate Deke's birthday.  After supper- Deke, me, Nathan & Steve went out to mark & sort outside hogs.  Manda & Sarah & the boys played outside- enjoying the beautiful weather!  

The boys sure had a fun evening together playing ball, swinging, riding their gators & catching lightening bugs.  It was priceless when Brody came in & announced we were singing Happy Birthday to Papa & he started the song.  We ended the night with one of Papa's favorites- his birthday cake, which was my homemade chocolate sheet cake

Today is our daughter-in-law Sarah's birthday.  And we are all going racing tonight in Columbus Junction.

I spent my whole day stamping yesterday!!  I got some cute card made.....now to get them all cut, stamped & assembled in the next few nights.  

Nathan, Sarah & Masen stopped by yesterday morning for a bit to leave Deke's Father's Day Gift.  First thing Masen wanted when he walked in the door was a cookie.  He is Grandma's cookie monster & thankfully I made more cookies last night, as he ate the last 2 yesterday afternoon when he got up from his nap.  And then Aunt Kathy stopped by for a few minutes in the afternoon.

Our family went out for supper last night to celebrate Deke & Sarah's birthdays!  Deke & I stopped to get a few groceries & picked up a new grill (as ours is all rusted out & doesn't work well at all) on our way home.  By the time we got home & I got things put away I was beat & ready to call it a night. 

This morning I'm up early to spend my morning cooking.  We are having lunch at Nathan & Sarah's.  Nathan wanted potatoe salad, so I got the potatoes & eggs boiled last night & will finish making it this morning.  I'm also making cheesy potatoes & thawing out brauts to take too.  We'll all be going to the twins ball game this afternoon.  And then the guys are going racing tonight!  I'll be staying home to stamp all night! 
 

I hope you have a SUPER Father's Day, spending it with family & your loved ones!

My dad.......

Today is a bitter sweet day.......June 16th!  It is my dad's birthday!!  I think of him every day & so wish he was still with us.  On Fathers' Day it will be 11 years ago that he left us.  I miss him so much!
