Guess what I did!

I know this is a picture of a card I did back in January, so why put it on my blog now?  I just learned how to get pictures off my phone and into my computer!


Yes it is true that I have a dumb phone, and the user is even dumber!  Very long story short...
Did you know if you take pictures with your phone, you must tell the phone to put the pictures on the memory chip?  Apparently that is what one needs to do.  That explains why every time I would try to download pictures my computer would say "What pictures"?   So the user just got a little smarter, and my dumb phone is still dumb, Oh My Gosh just how smart are those smart phones?

I thought I would post a few of the cards that I have done lately.  I needed a few get well cards, so I used one of my favorite stamps.  I think this little nurse is so cute.







I had forgotten all about this stamp set.  I found it while digging through my flower stamps looking for something to use in my current swap.  I think it is a fun card to do and I love how the front is cut away to partly reveal what is on the inside.  It is always fun to find and use something you forgot you had.  It is like getting a new stamp once again.













This Stamp said Congratulations you did it!  I did not want to use the "you did it" part so I covered it over.  A friend just had eye surgery and I thought the mock eye chart was the perfect thing to use.  It is hard to see but the background is an add from the old time papers about XRAY vision.




Last but not least, a birthday card for one of Stephen's friends.


It seams that I live in the craft room lately.  For me, well there is only one other place I would rather be and that is in the company of Jesus.  Oh but wait, He is there with me too.

A Beautiful Day

Today is a beautiful day, not to hot but not cold either!  My Apricot tree is loaded with blossoms and honey bees.  Stephen set up the bee box near the apricot tree in hope of convincing the honey bees to move in.  If it works we might have honey come the end of summer.


Alan is busy building himself a small fishing boat.  He has been wanting to get a small fishing boat for some time now, but can not find one he likes.  Therefore, he decided to build one himself, then it would be exactly what he wants.  He is getting ready to do a test run with the fiberglass. 


Meanwhile I am working on a few projects.  I am not good at explaining this process; but you start out with a slotted wood platform, add pictures and embellishments to it.  Then you add resin to the whole thing and it looks like you scraped onto ceramic tiles.  I figured while Alan was mixing the resin for himself, I would then take a bit of it for myself and us it on this project. This is a picture of the one I did last year using two of my favorite pictures of the boys when they were young.


The repair man comes tomorrow to fix the hot tub!!!!!  It has been broken for two weeks now and I am really missing going in the hot tub every night!
