Happy halloween!

So we are getting set for the big night! The whole family is coming over and we have a nice dinner then send the " men " out with the kids to Trick or Treat their little brains out!! Ashleigh ( my oldest) is having a friend joining us this year! She is getting big :(

I have the costumes, we have the candy, and are ready for the glass of wine the mommies get when the kids leave!! I think that is my fave part of Halloween. I am a Christmas girl can you tell?? I hope you all have a safe and delicious night! These goodies are from Michelle! Thanks for stopping by!

a cowboy in a prickly place!

So if you have been following us you will know that this guy pops up every so often! Who doesn't like a cowboy card? Add a few cacti (sp) and we have a super duper little boy card! We have Nathan's 2nd birthday coming up mid Nov and Michelle has some sneak peeks for us! I will post them as soon as she shares!

a frosty group...

Not these guys though! They will melt your heart! Now if you haven't noticed I have a great fondness for this background paper...I Love it!! It is really wet and windy today and it it perfect weather for the ghosts and goblins! I think they call it blistery! Thanks for looking I would love to see your fave snowman stamps...send us a link!

wild wild wild!

Maybe there should be one more wild!!! I hope you liked yesterdays post because there are more today...don't say I never warned you!!! Did I tell you the group is back from Vaca?? Thank goodness! I can only take so much time without them.....we are finishing up Lisa's (from Remax) cards and I can't wait to show you some of them! I have our Christmas card packs coming soon...I really will....I hope ...We have been busy bees over here.....That I am thankful for!! Have a great day!!

4 sets of wild roses...

So I have a set of 8 cards...from the wild rose set from Stampin' Up....I feel like I want to show you...I know what you are thinking...but I will not bore you for 8 days with only one card a day!! I am going to do it over 2 days!!! I hope you will stick with me....I have a few "go to" sets and this is definitely one of them....I would love to know what your "go to" sets are?? Well here we go...Have a super day!!!

cozy home...

Kathy made this card for her sister...her friend was moving to a new home and this is just a perfect card for her to give!! I love this house ...October Afternoon is the company and it is a really great set! Kathy has paper pieced it and I love the background paper it reminds me of a brocade fabric or even maybe a wallpaper (you know the kind that would be in the bathroom at your parents house when you grew up)....ya thats the one!! No I am kidding I really do love it! Thanks and have a great day....OOOHHH I have a few new stamps coming...I am hoping they arrive tomorrow!! I am ssssoooo excited!!

snow ball effect

do you ever think about the snow ball effect?? I totally do! Just as soon as 1 person does or says something everyone else follows....weird huh?? Just as we think how different we are from every one we know...bam ..you get hit in the face with a snow ball!! Ha Ha!! That can be a good thing as well...if she is doing it I should too!! Well I want to thank you all for giving me the snowball effect... Christmas cards are being ordered buy the dozs...Thank goodness for that little white ball to the face!! Today I want to thank Linda who has been a great customer and now will have her sister totally green when she sees here totally adorable cards!! Here is one of the cards she got!!

our group shot

Yep here we are!! Kathy, Michelle and I ....Ha ha! I dont know who would be which animal (did that make sense?)..... but I like this because it is just like us...we stick together and we are close....ok maybe not right this second ....they did desert me to have a bit of fun in the land of Disney...but usually we are close!! In fact I don't think there has been a day that I haven't called Kathy...yep you guessed it I have free long distance...and it is a good think I think our last convo lasted 30 mins....Yikes! Well I am feeling really creative tonight so I will be up late making cards I just know it!!

Cute as a bug

She is cute as a bug...I have so much fun coloring this little girl!! I think she reminds me of my little girls! They grow up so fast! Yes I am one of those....wanting my girls to stay put...no growing no getting smarter...just hoping they will stay little and with me forever....I know it will never happen...but a girl can dream right!!....Have a super day!!

the right tools

You need the right tools for the job! You might have to say I love you or thanks for the help!! I love these tools they say so much and I find that they say thing that some ( men ) people might not be able to express!! I am missing the girls...they are still in Disneyland and I think today is the day that they get to go trick or treating in California land...I can't wait for the pictures!!!

Santa's belt

I really think that this card looks like Santa's belt! It was one of those cards that I really didn't know how it would turn out. I love it when it all comes together!!! The weather has changed here and it is getting chilly and wet! I love fall...the cozy sweater, the scarves, the changing colors on the trees!!

woodland fairy

I think this little one should be under a mushroom or sitting on the moss at the base of a tree in the forest....What do you think?? I need to order some more of these pixies....I just love them! We are working on some Christmas cards for our Remax Agent! Thanks so much Lisa! I will post the cards and a link to her website in a week or so...but I wanted to say thanks! Have a great day!!

Dreams

Aren't these totally cute...I love these sets..Horray for Whipper Snapper! Well Kathy and Michelle are in Disneyland and I am sooo sure they are missing me like crazy! Yep... I just don't think they are having any fun with out me at all! Thanks for stopping by!!

I wish I knew...

Soo there is a whole lot of things I wish I knew....I wish I knew what I will buy my Hubby for Christmas. I wish I knew what will happen in the TV show I am going to miss tomorrow night....ya I have no pvr....sad right? I guess I could list a few hundred things I want to know....but today there is only one thing I really need to know...and that is.... what the heck this saying.... says....I think it is Japanese? Ummm I think!!! I stamped it thinking it might say "thank you" or "happy birthday" but down deep I know it might say "I'm breaking up with you" or "I'm glad you slipped"!!! I guess we will never know. Have a "great day"....or.....maybe "whatever"!!

on thin ice..

Ok... I have said this to my girls ...hasn't everyone? I think it is really the other way around ..I usually am the one who is slipping and sliding around! This card however is not on thin ice! How totally cute right? It is the 3rd of the set. I just love these elves! I don't know if you have noticed the designer paper that Kathy has been using but it is adorable! Have a great day!

comfy couch?

Do you have a comfy couch? You know the one you want to curl up on when you get sick or if you are feeling like you need a bit of alone time with a really good book. I think this little guy has the right idea. Hope you have a comfy day!

A break from cards!

As you might remember I have been making a " quilt" for my daughter Hailey...well as with all good things "change " must happen!! Right?? Well we have decided to "redo" the girls rooms...and the quilt is not going to work any more. Soooo the 5 blocks I have made will now be large pillows for her bed. I have to say I am not sad about this..it means I am closer to being finished!! Here are the latest 2 blocks I have made! Thanks for looking!

Tough guy..

Ok so this is a real tough guy don't ya think?? I got a couple of sets from Whipper Snapper and this is one of the little guys...OMG I fell in love with the frog... I have a few more to show you ... Hope your having a good week...It is almost the weekend!! Did that help? Thanks for looking.

Bag of goodies!

Oh... this is a cute Bella! Kathy just went out and got so more of these darling stamps...I need to go shopping with her!! we are getting ready for Halloween and so excited to go out with my brothers kids and Michelle's little guys. I think I am just waiting for all the goodies to come home! Have a super day!

Just one present...

Oh.... I do love that one present that you really hope you are getting....and then just as you give up hope there it is ...that last present....I love that feeling so much!! I am trying to find "that" gift for my girls...this little guy makes me think of that!! Thanks for looking... I hope you all are stuffed and are ready for the short week ahead!

I have to bring dessert!

Ok so.... Today we are having Thanksgiving Dinner with our family...Yep all the family! I think there are about 30 of us...and that is with about 15 missing! Yikes we are soooo lucky to have a such a wonderful family who love each other and look forward to seeing each other!! So that is what brings me to dessert! I have to bring something...I am not bringing pumpkin pie ...or any kind of pie for that matter....I am thinking Angel food cake covered in whip cream and drizzled with strawberries!! Yummmie!!! I don't have a stamp of that so I will show you.... cookies!!

Elves...

I have a few of these to show you...However... I think you might only be able to handle one at a time....That is how cute they are....These are from Close to my Heart stamps and again Kathy "had" to have them and there was me thinking..."what is she going to do with those"???

Yep I am sad and I should know better than question Kathy and Michelle (who lost to Kathy to buy these little cuties!) Now that you are set up for this little guy...enjoy!! Thanks for looking!!

Playing in the park...

If I was a little I would want to play with this Kid!! He just looks like fun! This is one of Kathy's (newer) sets and I just love it to bits! The sun is still shining here and I am loving it!! Enjoy your day!!

up in space!

what could be better that a space dog?? NOTHING so totally cute right!! Thanks Kathy... so many more to come from this set!! Watch for them!! Have a great day!

Hot Dog!

Michelle and her hubby call all the kids in the family Hot Dog so of course it had to be bought!!! Kathy's again!! See now you know what i mean when I said I missed out!!! Thanks for looking...yep one more tomorrow!!

Over the next few days..

I have some really cute " retro " cards Kathy has done....Totally cute and very inspiring...I have to tell you ..Kathy and Michelle just LOVE these sets from the Cats Pajamas but I just didn't get it...not really getting how I would use them...Well I am so sad I didn't go with the flow...Those ladies have a great sense of what will be great!! It works for them...wait till you see Michelle's!!! For now the super cute cat card!!

a bit of sparkle is what I need..

so I have been adding a bit of glitter to some of my cards lately and am loving it...so when I saw this glitter paper I had to have it...a sucker for the shiny? Yep!! Too much fun! Hope you are having a great day enjoy the sun if you have it!! Thanks for looking!

a few petals...

Kathy was getting rid for these petals...I snatched them up and made these!! Love them.....I think after this Kathy will think twice before giving something else to me!!! Thank for looking!!

Back at it!

Sarah Kay has to be one of my fave stamp designers...I just love her little girls...I used the copic markers with this and I thought it would be hard to get all the little bits but it was way easier that I thought...Yeah me!!! Well our busy life is back ...and on full speed ahead...have you noticed that the time is flying by??? I don't want to tell you but I have started my Christmas shopping and we have been getting our Christmas cards out in the stores...Oh ya...things are rolling!
