We had a great day yesterday with all of the boys.  We love it when Brayden gets to come for a bit after school.  I made Monster Cookies- so the boys all enjoyed them.  

Our kids all went bowling last night.  They had a fun time.  Deke & I couldn't make it since I was getting ready for my class I have today & he was getting the tractor & tank ready so that he can start pumping lagoons today.  We'll have to all go bowling some night when the races are cancelled so we can have fun with them too.    I know that the boys were all excited about it when they left here. 

Woo Hoo!  My car is packed clear full, the food is ready to finish cooking there, the projects are all cut & I'm headed out the door soon to spend my day with many friends stamping at my 'All Occasions' card class.  

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!! 
Happy Stamping!

A sympathy card....

Good morning-
Here is another sympathy card that I whipped up the other night real quick.  I loved the one using these colors & this stamp set that I posted a few days ago.  You can see it HERE!

Juanita's visitation was nice yesterday & we are glad we got to see some old friends that we haven't seen for awhile.  The boys were really good.  And of course- they were the highlight of the day for many.  Any time you take twins someplace you get all kinds of questions & comments & attention to say the least.  The boys got to see Great-Grandma & Great- Papa Axmear & Great- Grandma Sharon, so they were all thrilled!

Last night was a late night burning the midnight oil for both me & Deke.  He was moving pigs & power washing & I was cutting card stock.  Nothing like eating supper at midnight.  Ughh....not my favorite thing to do forsure.

I'm off to pick up the boys here soon.  Deke should be in soon from doing his morning chores to shower & head out the door again, as he has 2 meetings today.  Brayden will be riding the bus here after school, so we are looking forward to seeing him.  Both Deke & I will be burning the midnight oil again tonight.  He'll be power washing again & I'll be cutting card stock again.  Oh my- what an exciting life we live huh!

I hope you have a very special Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!

Happy New Baby= GIRL!

Hello!
Here the the pink version of the baby card for my All Occasions card class.  Pink Pirouette, white & flowers- perfect huh!

This card is similar to a card I made awhile back.  I just changed it some to be able to reproduce & mass produce it for my big class.  I LOVE this Irresistibily Yours Specialty Designer Paper that is a Sale-a-bration choice.  I wish it was a product we had around all of the time!  The possibilities with it are endless!

card stock:  Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
designer paper:  Irresistibily Yours Specialty (SAB)
ink:  Pink Pirouette, Black Stazon

Last night was a late night on the farm.  I was beat when we got in.  It is cold & damp out.  I got some card stock cut......but not as much as I had hoped to accomplish.

Deke was up bright & early this morning to get pig moved.  And I'm cutting card stock right now.  I'll be heading out soon to go pick up the boys.  Then we're going to go to the visitation later this morning of a dear family friend (Juanita) that passed away.  Juanita worked for Deke's grandma at the bank for years & she & her husband Ford, were best friends to my grandparents, plus their son was a best friend of my dads.  So both Deke & I have connections here with her.  We'll have the 3 Seeley boys with us, so we aren't planning to stay for the funeral.  But we did want to pay our respects & see the family.  

Tonight I'll be burning the midnight oil again cutting card stock!!  Woo hoo!!  I'm gearing up for this Saturday's All Occasions card class.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone.  It will be here before we know it.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

We have another crazy/busy week here!  I'll be cutting card stock & burning the midnight oil each night as I'm getting ready for my upcoming All Occasions class I am having this weekend again.

I'm off to pick up the boys & spend my day with them!   Tonight when they go home I'll be a farmer- helping Deke sort & sell hogs.  And then I'll be back in to cut card stock for a few hours after we get in.

Gotta run.....hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

More 'Guy Greetings'

Happy Monday!!
Here is another one of my All Occasions class cards.  This is from the 'Guy Greetings' stamp set in the Occasions Catalog.  I like this old car.  

So what do you think of the color combination here?  Does the Island Indigo just add alittle pop of color to pull this card together.  And what do you think of the diagonal I added here?  I like it a lot!

Oh what a weekend!!!  I spent my whole morning in South English cleaning up from my class I had there on Saturday.  Deke came over & helped for about 1 hour to help me put away the tables & chairs.  Then I came home to get things carried in & put away.  And gearing up to start cutting supplies for my 2nd round of my All Occasions class that will be this Saturday!!  

Susie's Hair Hut was open.  I got Nathan's hair cut.  Then the Seeley's came out too & we had kids with our family.  After they left I got caught up on a few emails & placing some orders.  I even got to bed before midnight for a change.

Deke is off to his weekly board meeting this morning.  And I'm off to go pick up the boys.  Trey has his 9 month check up this afternoon- so Manda & Steve will take him & I'll stay home with the twins.  Brayden is riding the bus out after school- so we are looking forward to seeing him.  After the boys are all gone home tonight I will be spending my night stamping.

I hope you have a Marvelous Monday!!

Happy Stamping!

'Bravo'

Here is another one of the cards that is for my 'All Occasions' class.  What a clean & simple card, yet so cute!!  I used the photopolymer set called- 'Bravo'.   I thought it would make a nice card for an upcoming graduation or wedding, but it could be used for lots of other occasions too.

WOW!  We had a great day of stamping yesterday.  I think it was just really nice.  I know that I sure enjoyed it!  I hope everyone else that attended did too!

Check out the sparkle on the stars!

I'm headed over to clean up here soon.  I decided last night I was too tired to do it & just came home.  When I get everything picked up Deke will come over & help me put away the tables & chairs.

I sure have some amazing friends!!  Thanks so much to all of you that brought food yesterday.  I supplied a yummy chicken casserole (my grandma's recipe), layered lettuce salad & grilled french bread.  But then we had a whole table of bars, salads & desserts too. 

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!
Happy Stamping!

What a pretty flower!!

Woo Hoo!  I am excited!  The big day is finally here!!!  Today is one of my 'All Occasions' card classes.  I've been working on this class for many evenings & I can't wait to see everyone & spend my day stamping with them.  I have some old friends joining us & some new gals too that I've never met before.  I love how the creating bug spreads.  Everyone will be going home with pile of cards.  They are all making 40 assorted cards for many different occasions.

This pretty 'Lotus Blossom' card is one that everyone joining me today (and next Saturday too) will be making at my annual 'All Occasions' card classes.

I know- it is hard to tell what the colors are in the photo.  I'm sorry.  It is Pear Pizzazz & Rich Razzleberry.  I will do an update to this post with the supply list sometime soon.

 This is the same layout as I did for a card at Jo's party last Saturday.  I just changed the colors. 

I think I finally have everything about checked off of my list.  I've got the cards created & I'm just about all done cutting.  Everything is sitting by the door to load up into the car.  The food is made & it ready to start cooking when I get to South English.  It is going to be a grand day!  Yummy food, cute cards & great company!!  What else could you ask for?

Gotta run......
I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!

Ok- gotta run....hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!
Happy Stamping!

I hope you have a very special Thursday!!

Another peek.....

Here is another card everyone attending my upcoming 'All Occasions' card classes will be making.  My focus is clean & simple- which is sometimes hard for me.  I'm more of a technique girl & love fun folds & layers.  I like this card though & think it is bright & springy & could be used for several different occasions.  I have all of my cards created (now to get them all cut).  I can't wait to share them with everyone joining me.  The countdown is on.....and I'm excited about these upcoming classes.

Wow- the lace doily just adds so much 'dress up' this card doesn't it.

stamp sets:  'Beautiful Bunch', 'Fabulous Four' & 'Kinda Eclectic'
card stock:  Wild Wasabi, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe
ink:  Wild Wasabi & Crisp Cantaloupe
other: Lacy Doilies, Basic Pearlsl, Boho Blossoms Punch, Fun Flower Punch, dimensionals

 ++++++

I'm headed to bed soon & will be getting a little more sleep than I got last night.  I should stay up a little longer- but I need some sleep.  I still have LOTS of cutting to do though- so will be burning the midnight oil again the rest of the week. 

I'm off to pick up the boys bright & early this morning & spend our day together.  Deke is headed to the office for a bit & then he'll be in Mt. Pleasant the rest of the day for a meeting.  Since Papa won't be here for lunch I let the boys pick what they want to eat.  Anyone want to bet that we have pancakes & ham?  That is what Drake will want.  Brody is a Taco Tuesday guy- but he had that yesterday.  Oh let me tell you....they are a hoot!

We had a good night working on the farm & loading out pigs.  It is so nice that the temps are getting warmer (even though they were still chilly yesterday-especially compared to Monday's record breaking highs) it is still nice.

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
