Yesterday was a busy day!  It started out early with helping Deke on the farm with the pigs.  And then spending my day with my boys.  Last night when they went home I worked on catching up on my farm bookwork & finalizing orders from my classes yesterday.

This morning I'm off to go pick up the boys for the day.   Tonight I hope to get stamp stuff put away from my weekends classes, since I didn't get that far last night.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!

It was about 7:45 when I got home, as I met up with a couple of customers with their orders on my way home.  I was beat!  I finally called it a night about 10:30.

This morning I am a farmer & we are up early to mark, sort & load hogs.  I'll then hurry in to town & go pick up all of my boys & spend my day with them.  Hopefully the trucker isn't late.  As Deke has his weekly board meeting today too- so he needs to get his chores done too & in to shower & head to the courthouse.

Yesterday was a busy day!!  The twins graduated from Pre-School!  It was a really nice ceremony.  Their teacher did a great job!  The boys did a good job too!  And I can NOT believe that they have grown up so fast.  So much in my life changed when they were born.....and how blessed I am that I got to spend this time with them the past 5 1/2 years!  We had planned to have a picnic & play in the park, but it was cold & rainy- so hopefully the weather is good next week & we can do this to celebrate.  

I made them some cute graduation cards.....so will share them sometime next week, as I need to get a picture of them. 

Last night I had a fun group that came to stamp with me at our home!  Great friends, yummy snacks & cute cards- what else!!!  It was a fun time had by all!  

The guys went to Columbus Junction to race......in the mud & cold!  Nathan got 3rd in his heat & 3rd in the main.  

This morning I'm getting ready to have another stamp class here at our home & I'm looking forward to seeing everyone that will be joining me.  Then this afternoon/evening we have a wedding/reception to attend.  And I'll be finishing cutting card stock & packing up for my 2 stamp classes I have tomorrow, when I get home from there.

A beautiful lattice card, using the Succulents!

This is one of the cards everyone made at my May monthly classes.  It is a lattice fold & I just love how cool they look!!  I just think this is a stunning card!

When I first started stamping 17 years ago- this is one of the first fun folds that I learned to do.  I still have the pattern on how to make it & that is the same pattern I used at my classes too!

Check it out- I like adding the little strip of cardstock on the inside of the fold, so that is shows through & adds extra color to the card!

Here are some other cards I've posted doing this fun fold!  Be sure to click on them & check them out!

• Click HERE!

We had a busy & long day yesterday!!  I was totally shocked & amazed at all of the thousands of people that came to walk in the JDFR in Des Moines yesterday morning.  It was a beautiful day!  We were getting hot & tired by the end of it though.  We stopped to eat lunch together on the way home in Pella.

Here is a picture of us at the end of our walk! 

Deke drove to Osky & left his car on our way to Des Moines, so he came right home to work on the farm & I got groceries & a few things.

I came home, put groceries away & planted a few of my flowers.  We then all headed to Bloomfield to race!  Nathan won his heat & got 5th place in the main- he started 9th & it was just one groove with no where to pass.  It was late when we got home. 

This morning I'm up early & will spend my morning in the kitchen cooking!  We are having lunch at Deke's moms & I'm doing the ham balls & grapenut muffins.  We'll eat with his family & then I plan to spend my afternoon/evening- planting flowers & stamping!!  The guys are going to Vinton racing.

I hope you have a VERY SPECIAL Sunday!

Yesterday was a busy day!  The 2 little boys & I went to H&M & bought some flowers.  We were outside almost all morning.  We planted flowers for Sarah & Deke's mom for Mother' Day gifts.  I now need to find time to go buy more flowers for myself, Manda & my mom & get them planted.  

After school all of the boys were here for just a little bit together & they had fun playing together outside!!  Uncle Steve was pitching balls to Brayden & he was hitting them! 

We then had ball practice & races too.  Nathan won his heat & got 2nd in the main!  I didn't end up making it to the races, as ball practice lasted longer than we thought it would.  So I came home & worked in the yard again until dark. 

Today is a special day.....as this morning all of our family is up early & doing something that is very dear to our hearts!  We are headed to Des Moines for us to do the JDRF Walk for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.  We have several family members that are Type 1 diabetics.  Our grandson Brayden; our nephews- Matt & John; Sarah's mom; Sarah's boss & my cousins- Karen & John.  So we are walking together as Team 52 for this great cause.  

Here are the family members walking today- me, Deke, Sarah, Nathan, Brayden, Masen, Manda, Steve, Brody, Drake, Trey; Deke's sister Darci; our nephew Josh & his family- Kacie, Collyn's, Coleson; Sarah's parents- Doug, Julie & Sarah's boss.

A cute Daisy tag!

These are the name tags that I made for everyone's bags for my Spring Fling.   The New Daisy Punch- that is available on June 1st for customers to order- worked just perfect!  The Daisy's are bright, cheery & Spring like!  

I used the Brights Designer Paper Stack.  The colors of the 3 different flowers are- Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango & Rich Razzleberry.

I used the Scalloped Tag Topper for the tag base, punched out 2 of the Daisy Flowers & layered them together- adding a 1/2" Daffodil Delight Circle Punch to the center of it.  I wrote everyone's names on their tags using the Cucumber Crush marker & tied the tags onto the bags using the Cucumber Crush ribbon.

Oh my- the flu bug has hit our family.  Sarah was sick on Monday, Nathan was sick yesterday & I got sick last night.  It is a monster bug- that is forsure....I am hoping it it short lived.  I haven't had the flu this bad in years.  So I'm home alone today & praying I am better soon.  And I pray that no one else gets it either. 

Deke left early this morning to chore, headed to the office for a couple of hours & then he has a meeting in Mount Pleasant this afternoon.  

Tonight we are all suppose to go racing in Osky.....but it is now raining.....so we'll see what the day brings.  

THANKFULLY our corn fields were all planted yesterday!!  So that is one less thing to worry about getting done & it was perfect timing with the rain we are getting today.  

 

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!
