Freebie Friday - #13

 

Happy Friday Everyone!!

I am hoping for some sunshine... but it we don't see it... we will just sing "the sun will come out tomorrow... bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow...."

Ok.. who else is excited to see the remake of Annie!!  I am totally pumped and can NOT WAIT to go see it with Pumpkin this summer.  It was one of my all time favorite movies when I was her age.  In fact we have it on dvd here someplace. 



- FREEBIE FRIDAY -

This is a beautiful and vintage style paper pad from Crate Paper.  It reminds me of all things Mom and Grandma.  Perfect for those upcoming Mother's Day projects in May.

You can find it here also - Crate Paper - Flea Market Paper Pad

I have just a couple in stock.. They were hard to get my hands on.

Make a Card Monday - #12

Happy Monday....

Is everyone ready for the week?  I am working on my 1st cup of coffee... once I hit 3 cups the blur will fade. hehe

Here is the cute little card I made for today.




Used the Moo-ey Doodles stamps... these cows are so much fun.  Pumpkin just loves them!
Markers are Copic, the face tones set.  I will start writing down the colors when I use them.  I am so new to this coloring I am just experimenting with colors right now.

Thankful Thursday - #11

Good Morning and Happy 1st day of SPRING....

I am so ready for the flowers to start blooming, the sunrises with that little mist in the morning, afternoon walks without earmuffs, and morning coffee on the porch... so ready for Spring.

Being a Washingtonian... we have the rain, and for the most part you learn to ignore it.  But this cold... yikes...

When we moved in November, I was so excited to finally be in the city we have been trying to move to for about 3 years.  But I had NO idea how cold it got up here in the hills.  I still LOVE IT!! 

I am very thankful for the opportunity we were blessed with in November.  I believe the Lord knew that I was going to be a basket case if it took months for our home to sell.  Not that anyone had a clue that it would happen so fast, but I am truly thankful. 

Of course the building process is not anything like the selling process. LOL

We are in a hurry and wait period right now and of course all those SURPRISE fees are starting to pop up... LOL... I think that is why many people say they don't like Surprises... because of the Not Any Fun Surprises we experience.

Well, I am rambling... Hope everyone gets to see a little piece of SUNSHINE today on this 1st day of Spring. 

I think Pumpkin and I are going to play with the new G45 Botanical Tea this afternoon, because it SCREAMs Spring to me!




Hugs,

What? Wednesday! - #11

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Ok, I love these corny questions... they make me smile and who doesn't love to smile.
This one really made me 'tee hee hee' because I have been in theaters were it is just my hubby and me... and the trailers are already playing before we get there... so I think they do play it even if no one is watching...
If nobody buys a movie ticket, do they still show the movie?


I am trying to finish the Divergent book this week, my son gave it to me over the weekend with instructions.  'Get it done by Friday Mom, so we can go see the Movie on Saturday..'  lol  My children know me to well... I must (if possible) read the book before seeing the movie.  I do make exceptions..

I am so addicted to the story line, I ran to Costco on Monday and purchased the rest of the books... he is reading the second one.. so I want to get caught up to him and surprise him.

Tuesday non-Tutorial - #11

Happy Tuesday Everyone...

Thank you everyone for your well wishes... you really warm my heart.  I am feel much better but this persistent cough is still with me. 

I have an adorable set of stamps to share with you.  I love Elephants... and actually search for stamp sets with these sweet HUGE creatures.  But they are not easy to find.

When I saw these come out from Penny Black.. I was first on the Pre-Order list.. eeeekkkkk....

So excited.. they just arrived on my doorstep yesterday!

Are these adorable or what??!!



 I have not done much coloring, with the exception of crayons.... but I sure had fun with the few Copic markers I have... didn't realize how easy they are to use.  I think I might have found a new addiction.  LOL

Here is my cute little ellie close up!




I really thought it would be incredibly difficult to do the shading you see all the pro's do.  But the pens really do a lot of the work for you.  It is just a matter of practice.. I think. 

And here is the finished card....





Isn't he a cutie pie!!!  I can't wait to get more markers to play...

Happy Crafting....
