Lots of Sale-a-bration to CELEBRATE with here!

Good morning!
This birthday card is one that everyone made at Marsha's party.

when I was creating this card.

Wow- we had a late night last night on the farm.

It was after 10 when we got in.
And then had to shower & make supper.

We were both tired, sore & cold.

But got alot done- so that is good.

Deke is gone to meetings all day today.

So it will just be me & the boys here all day. 
They will be here early, as Manda has an early meeting today.

 I hope to get to do some stamping done tonight!
As of now I think I'm going to be home!

Gotta run.....

Hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Happy Stamping!

My mom & Aunt Virginia came down yesterday & spent the morning visiting the twins & me.

Mom brought me a yummy angel food cake (my favorite) for my belated birthday.

She had originally planned to come last Monday, but we had the snow- 

so we post-poned it. 

I'm glad they came.
I enjoyed getting to see them.
Then-

Nathan & Brayden were here last night to visit & have supper.

It was an eventful evening as my kitchen sick drain plugged....

& thankfully I have a husband with many traits & he tore it apart, 

ran a snake drain cleaner it in & got it unplugged!

BLESS HIM!

So our evening hours were consumed with this, but we are thankful it is now fixed.

Tonight I'm a hog farmer helping Deke.

We will sell a load of hogs & then spend the rest of the night moving pigs- so that Deke will be able to finish powerwashing the nurseries & getting ready for our new babies to come in a couple of weeks.

 We will have a late night.

Gotta run....my boys will be here soon.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!

Thank goodness we didn't get tons of snow.

I'm meeting with my sister-in-law Pattie after work to figure out 

my niece Maddie's graduation invites.

 Then Susie's Hair Hut is open for business, as Deke needs a hair cut!

AND hopefully Brody & Drake cooperate to get theirs cut tonight too!

Sweet Baby!

Good morning!

Here is a sweet baby card that I made last night for some very dear friends of ours 

that just had another baby boy last week. 

He looks precious in the photos I've seen of him & can't wait to meet him in person.
 

As many of you know, Crumb Cake is one of my favorite colors 

& as hard as I tried to not use it- I just couldn't resist.

And of course I used one of my favorite stamp sets too- 'Gorgeous Grunge'!

That is a stamp set that is so versatile & works for all kinds of styles of cards!

 'Baby, We've Grown', 'Simply Stars' & 'Gorgeous Grunge'

It looks like we are in for another snow storm today that is heading our way.

I pray that it doesn't hit us hard.

There are lots of unconfirmed reports on how much snow we'll be getting this round.
It is already raining/sleeting now as I'm posting this.
What oh what will it be like in a few hours?

And Spring is how many days away?????

I'm planning to enjoy my day with the boys today.
 Papa will be home to eat lunch with us for a change!

They both really need hair cuts- so maybe we'll get that accomplished too. 

(weather permitting)

Deke has another meeting tonight.

So while he is there I am going to go to town to some friends home for abit to

 use their shop & clean out my car.

Then hopefully I will be home in time to do some more stamping.

Oh my- I have LOTS to do! 

I hope you have a great Thursday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
