It has certainly been awhile since I posted, my friends. A lot has been happening in the weeks since my last post. We had the craft fair in our community and I'm happy to say that my cards sold quite well.
I had taken pictures of the Christmas cards I made for the craft fair and have been "itching" to post them. However! Our house sold unexpectidly and we had just 2 weeks to move out. (Fortunately we had another house available to move in to.) I want to tell you all that my hubby went way above the call of duty with this move as he did most of it by himself.
To top it off, a week after the move (and trying to settle and unpack) I had knee replacement surgery. That was on the 5th of November. Anyway, I'm doing exceptionally well and this is the first day I have felt that I could sit at the computer long enough to do a post.
This post is special because I want to thank ALL of my little craft group for everything that they have done to help out. Can you believe that they got together and brought a prepared meal, for two, each day for over two weeks? My hubby didn't have to cook a thing! So.... a huge thank you to Sue and Sue and Suzanne, Audrey, Dot and Ruth. I love you all dearly and am so thankful to have you as my friend. You have been life savers.
Here are a couple of the cards I made for the craft fair. I hope you'll like them.
Good morning. As you may have guessed, I've returned from my vacation at the beach. It was a very interesting week and I'm so pleased with some of the pictures I was able to get. Now it's time to get back to normal.
As stated previously, our community is having a craft fair at the end of the month. (Our 2nd annual craft fair.) I've been making cards like crazy, so now it's time to share some of the cards I've made. You've already seen a couple of them and here are a few more of the whimsical ones.
I'll be posting some Christmas cards, among others, in the days to come, so stay tuned. In the meantime, have a wonderful day.
Yesterday was a lovely day at the beach. It was hot... that's for sure. The winds were coming from the east until late in the afternoon, then they shifted. Following are some of the pictures I took of the approaching storm.
As we looked up the beach, there appeared to be smoke and we determined that there was a boat fire. (Of course we don't know that for sure.)
Then the rain hit and the skies opened up, the wind blew and it was amazing. After the storm, we figured we wouldn't see a sunset, but this is what we did see.
There is a low spot in front of where we are staying that fills with water when there are heavy rains. After the rains, the seagulls come along and take a "fresh water" bath.
What a joy there is in nature and what spectacular pictures one can capture at the ocean.
To top off this post, here is another whimsical card I made a while back.
Enjoy your day, have a wonderful long weekend, and check back in another day.
Good morning all. It looks like it's going to be an okay day in paradise. We awoke to heavy rains and a little thunder, but it looks like it's clearing now.
After I downloaded my pictures yesterday, a most amazing rainbow appeared so I had to take some pictures to share.
Isn't this rainbow just manificent?
We had company later in the day and just sat around talking. The sun didn't really come out 'til late in the afternoon.
Other then that, it has been quiet here. However, everyday brings something new to watch as the sky and ocean just keep on changing.
Here's a little card I made recently. I decided I'd try making some cards with a stamp set I'd purchased eons ago and never used. That's it for today. Stay tuned and have a good one.
Who says one has to go to the Carribean to have gorgeous tropical atmosphere? We are on vacation at our timeshare on the gulf coast of Florida, and it is simply gorgeous.
The surf is unusually high today; we watched rain approach this morning and it is so beautiful to see.
(I think my camera lense was fogged a bit when I took this shot.) I have more pictures that I want to share later on. However, just for the sake of keeping this post legit, here's a card I made recently. Little did I know that I'd be at the beach when I posted it.
That's it for today. Have a good one and I'll catch you all later.
Good morning everyone, and what a lovely morning. Gee, but it's been a long time since I've posted anything. It's been a long, hot summer and I've done a lot of reading... and I've made loads of cards.
Our community is holding a craft fair at the end of October and I've been making cards like crazy in hopes of selling some. This will be our 2nd fair and I did quite well last year.
There are just so many cards and ideas out there and not enough time to do them all. Anyway, here are a few samples of what I've made.
As you can see, I've been trying to do some cards appropriate for men/boys. Anyway, keep checking in and don't give up on me. I have lots more to show you, plus some Christmas cards. You all have a great day.
Tuesday was my birthday and a surprise birthday party was held for me at the club house in our community. And what a surprise it was!
I want to thank everyone who was there and everyone that sent me cards wishes via facebook. So many of my friends were able to be there. Who knew one could have so many friends and could keep a secret, too!
From a planned lunch date with a wonderful friend, the party "ballooned" to my crafting buddies and domino players to Red Hat Sisters to my book club group from "The Wellington Bookies" and other friends too.
Thank you everyone for making this day so memorable! I love you all.
And thank you Sue for making this happen.
