It's been a while!!! But I haven't forgotten about my blog!

Happy summer! Here are several cards I've done over the past couple months... This first one was based on a card by A muse's Julie Ebersole (http://www.papertrufflez.typepad.com/).

Thanks Mom!

A bit late, but this was my mother's day card...

Thanks for looking :-)

May flowers!

I'm lovin' all the May flowers... especially the lilacs which are just starting to open...

Bee Happy!

Love this new bee paper... Have a good week and bee happy!

Happy Birthday!

Here's a recent birthday card I made... for Mark's 35th Birthday!

Cow's it goin'?

Hope things are going well for you!!! Thanks for visiting my blog... have a good week!

Cupcakes!!!

Nothing celebrates a birthday quite like cupcakes!!!

Happy Easter... (a week late)...

I never got around to posting a sample of my easter cards, so here it is...

Today is a good day for inside activities because the temperature dropped about 40 degrees over night. It's back to chilly winter weather... that's okay though, I have more than enough housework to keep me busy, and perhaps I can find some time for stamping!

Anyhow, have a fantastic weekend!

Signs of spring!

My rhubarb, daffodils, tulips, and crocuses are starting to come up! Birds have been outside singing for several weeks now. We just had some lovely, sunny 55-60 degree days! What can be better! Long cold winters make spring so uplifting! Here's an easter card I put together for the A muse Challenge. It was inspired by this card from Julie Ebersole, who does magnificent work! It's a window card, though it's difficult to tell from the photo. Can you believe Easter is only 2 weeks away?!!

Have a great weekend!

Still thinking spring... and about a vacation!

Here's a card that's a bit of a different style than my usual cards... we made a similar flower in last month's stamp club. It's almost time to start planting seeds for our garden, so the theme is appropriate!

About the vacation... we're trying to decide between Sonoma, California and Vieques, Puerto Rico. The two spots couldn't be more different, but both are quite appealing. The timeframe is late September/early October. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

TG it's almost Friday! Enjoy the weekend...

Dreaming of warm sunshine...

I'd love to be laying in a hammock soaking up the rays right now...

Thinking Spring...

It's been snowing just about every day here in CNY and I think most of us are ready for some warmth, sun, and color. Here's a card I put together for A muse's February "color" challenge.

Hope you're having a great weekend! U-S-A... U-S-A... U-S-A... Here's to all the athletes in Vancouver!

Frozen in CNY

Today it hasn't gone above 5 degrees, so not one of us has left the house. Logan is bummed. Though the photo isn't great (I hate taking photos when it's not daylight), here's a thank you note I made this week... Enjoy the weekend and stay warm!!! Brrr...

Happy 2010!
