Cards

Before Christmas I picked up theses six packs of cards at a book store that was going out of business....Got a good buy on them and each pack has 2-4 different designs in them.  Looking forward to using them!

Tuesday Randoms

We had my Grandma Frieda's chicken and rice the other night....with green beans and a salad...good meal for a chilly night!

My comma shaped tree for the back deck! ha!

I cleaned out a drawer today and came across a few pages of gift tags....Isn't that clown scary?! Ha!

Vintage cards!

We went to the Lion's Club Christmas Dinner tonight and Richard won this huge flower arrangement...now what to do with it?

Vintage Cards

It was kind of dark in here this morning when I took these pictures, so the colors aren't as bright as they are in person...found this box of vintage greeting cards at a yard sale yesterday..for a quarter! 

Valentine's Day

Got the neatest cards today for Valentine's Day! Look at those four little sweeties!

And eight yummy cookies that their Mama baked and Tyler and Emily helped decorate!

Card Class and a White Deer

We managed to get a few pictures of the white deer near the river a couple of miles from our house....It sure stuck out in the field!

Terrible picture, but I thought it looked funny when it was running...

We had card class tonight...it was fun....I still have problems getting my words or phrases stamped on straight!

Two more cards and  a little gift bag....

I kept Tyler today while his caregiver was taking a day off....we had such a good day!

Totally Random Stuff

This will be an even stranger than normal post...We have been having some trouble using our laptop, so Richard showed me how to use the desk top to do this...it has a different operating system I guess is what they call it? Anyway, I was just practicing with these pictures. The first one is a picture of the water tower from our back fence.....Pretty blurry..like I said, just practicing....I have heard that this tower may be taken down at some point in the future, so Iwill need to get some better pics of it. We took a very short walk down to the edge of the woods yesterday evening about dark...A weed in the field!

Blackberry leaves in November

Our daughters have been attending a card making group for several months.....I decided to go to this time..........This is the first card I made..........yes, snowman is off center.....and about buried in snow! haha Oh, and the bow looks pretty lame!

It doesn't show, but this one has sparkly snow looking stuff in the trees and on the ground...yes, the trees are off center too! haha

I am thinking that this will take some practice!

This is the last one we made...It also has the snow sparkle stuff on the snow areas....I enjoyed the class, and even though mine are far from perfect, they are unique if nothing else..haha

Lunch the "day after" after the fall supper, that is! By the way, this is not my plate, and in all fairness, it wasn't all comsumed! I don't see any green on this plate! haha

Now the test will be to see if I can do this uploading picture thing on my own.....
