Thursday Afternoon

I am going to miss these Brown Eyed Susans. They have been with me all summer. They grow wild all over the place here. They pop-up just anywhere.

Next picture is my cat Fred. He loves to curl up and take a nap in the basket tote I made by hand. Next is Mr Maine Lobster my husband brought home for us to feast on. I think it should of been thown back to the ocean. The meat was not all that great. It was tough and so the lesson on this experience is that big is not always good. The medium size is the best texture and taste. Besides I did not even have a pot BIG enough to cook it in. I took the picture with it sitting next to my teenage daughter's size 8 foot.

Next is a card I made for my daughter on her birthday. I used Hero Arts stamp set and layered them on an embossed white card stock. I used the Happy Birthday embossing folder from the Cuttlebug collection. I love my Cuttlebug.

What Is A Greeting Card?

It's a little piece of paper that tells someone you care.

It can be a ray of sunshine.

It can be a wish or a prayer.

It can simply say "I love you" or just say I understand.

It can be a little visit or the clasp of someone's hand.

It can be a word of comfort when someone's heart is sad.

It can be a smile or chuckle making someone's heart feel glad.

It can keep folks close together even though they're far apart.

It can show someone you're thankful from the bottom of your heart.

It can travel any distance in all kinds of weather too.

And it does the something magic that some big things never do.

Yes, it's just a piece of paper and it costs no big amount.

But it prooves that old saying, "It's the little things that count."

My Daughter's 18th Birthday!

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog. This is an update to what has been going on with our family. I have a new baby kitty. She is soooo cute. My hubby named her Pippie. She is half Maine Coon Cat and something else. I will post a pic. My other cat plays all the time a bit too ruff I think, sometimes I break it up. I have been creating cards left and right. I made a quick card for my daughter's friend. She graduated. I made a card for my daughter cuz she turned 18! She just finished her last day of school today. She is looking for a job now. She will also be working towards her drivers permit. Lucky me I get to teach her how to drive. Yay. Summer Vacation time. Now I can take a break after I get her grades in. I homeschooled her this year cuz our High School has a bad grading system. Plus the school leadership does not enforce the rules.

So here is some pics. The first one is for her 18th and the second one was for her 17th.
