'Daisy Delight'

Look at these flowers!  This is one of the prints in the Delightful Daisy DSP that I stamped the Daisy flower image onto, punched the Daisy flower & then cut it in half & layered it together to make this 1/2 flower look.

This was one of the cards that everyone joining me at my Spring Fling the end of April got to make!  It was a fun card to make!  This was everyone's sneak peek at new catalog products & this stamp set, coordinating punch & coordinating DSP was a hit!  

Note:  This punch is currently not available to order until the end of this month.  It sold out fast!  It is very popular.  I'll make sure I post on my blog when it is available to order again.

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 hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a full day!  We went to Nathan & Sarah's for lunch, then to watch the twins play ball& then home to chore.  The Nathan, Sarah, Brayden & Deke went racing.  I kept Masen home with me.  I worked on some stamping, but didn't get near as much done as I had hoped to.

Nathan got 3rd in his heat & 3rd in his main.

This morning I'm up early to walk & work on swaps.  I'm keeping my great nephew (Baylor that is 2 1/2" today too).  He will be here about 6:45 & the other boys will be here about 8.  I am hoping it is nice enough we can play outside. 

Today is Deke's birthday!!  So the kids are coming here to eat supper with us to celebrate.  After supper Deke, me, Nathan & Steve will go out to mark & sort hogs from the outside lots.  

Gotta run.....I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

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!

Happy Stamping!

Our whole family, plus Uncle Jerry, Aunt Kathy & Sarah's parents- went to Brayden's game last night.  He did great.....he had a big play to get a guy out & then a big hit into the outfield.  The guys left the game a little early, as they headed to Columbus Junction to race.  I came home after Brayden's game & burn the midnight oil stamping!  Nathan got 2nd in his heat & 2nd in the main.

I am home today & will be a stampin' fool!!  I hope I have good mojo!  I have tons to get done for my upcoming team meeting, leaders swap & upcoming classes!

Tonight our whole family is all going out for supper to celebrate Deke & Sarah's birthdays!!

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!

Yesterday was a busy day with the pigs & Masen.  Masen & I went to the twins baseball game last night.  They did a great job playing!!  It is just so much fun watching them.  

Masen stayed all night with Grandma, while the rest of our gang went to the races.  We watched Paw Patrol & ate chocolate chip cookies.....2 of his favorite things!

I will hang out with Masen again today & hopefully I will get to work on some stamping stuff while he naps this afternoon.  Tonight Brayden has a ball game & we have races again.  

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!

Happy Stamping!

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!

This is a picture of my dad 11 years ago this past Wednesday night (6/14/06).  He was getting his picture taken with us in victory lane, as Nathan won the stock car main that night!  I'll never forget that night.  That was the last time I saw my dad.  I miss him so much & I so wish he was still here with us.  He was a great guy!
