A little more Project 365...

Have any of you seen the Disney*Pixar movie, Up yet?



I went with my sister and nephews last weekend and it was really cute, although I'll warn you to bring a tissue (or four), lol. Gosh, my sister and I were shedding some tears! It went over the boys' heads but not ours, lol. It was a cute movie and we had fun. I'd definitely recommend it!

Okay, a few more Project 365 photos to share with you! I'll get caught up eventually, lol.

I finally reorganized all of my acrylic stamps and put them in binders, so I set up a blanket with the pupster and I on the porch one day. I got a little sun and finished my stamp organization!


A little braid in my hair...


Trash day!


I was starting to get behind on backing up my photos, so one day I sat and did it. That's always a relief to get done!


I picked up the book, "The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America's Largest Families--How they Do It" from the libary. It was interesting and I read it in 2 days.


Every year I hang Boston Ferns from our porch - 4 hang from our wrap-around porch and 1 from our back porch.


Violas that I planted. This ceramic planter sits on our table on our front porch. Bright and cheery don't you think?


Off to bed I go! Thanks for stopping! :)

This is a BIG one!

For Pete's sake. That was a long blogcation, lol. So, let's take this slow and add a little at a time. :) I am at least 5 weeks behind on posting my Project 365 photos, but I'll get them up in time. Today, I'm posting a few and will get the rest of them up here soon. I will, I will, I will! ;)

BUT, first of all, today is reveal day @ Citrus Tree Studio and there's LOTS to share! This month Cindy put together TWO wonderful kits (a full and a mini...although it's not very mini!)! "Easy Rider" features the Rebel line from Glitz and "Zinnia" features the Little Yellow Bicycle Zinnia line. Both of these kits are packed full! You can pick them u here!

I created 4 layouts and 4 cards and still have a LOT of product left!


Easy Rider Kit exclusive except for the Jenni Bowlin alphabet/star stickers (available in Citrus Tree's May "County Fair" kit) and American Crafts Thickers


Easy Rider Kit exclusive with the exception of the 7Gypsies "Journey" stamp, Jenni Bowlin alphabet stickers (link above) & additional white cardstock


Zinnia Kit exclusive with the exception of the chipboard owl (thanks to my friend, Beth)and Prima flower


Combination of Easy Rider and Zinnia Kit

For this card, I sewed together 2 of the Zinnia die-cut papers and to finish the edging I used my hole punch to give it a notebook paper feel...

Zinnia Kit exclusive

For this card, I cut the spades from the patterned paper and then hand-formed the flower...

Combination of both Easy Rider and Zinnia kits with the exception of the "friends forever" rub-on. I also used the American Crafts Photo Corner packaging (the black/white polka dot cardstock).

Okay, here's a few of my Project 365 photos that I'm behind on posting. Excuse my rounded corners and the inconsistency, lol. I'm practicing and went overboard on the plane one, lol!!

My pile of Box Tops that I gave to my mom to take to her school...


I was making eggs one morning and to my surprise, I cracked into a double yolk! Isn't that good luck or something? Did I eat twins? Ha!


While driving home on the interstate, I saw this plane. We have an airport really close.


Hubby and I took 2 of our nephews to our favorite pizza place one day. We had so much fun with them! Notice the ginormous balls of bubble gum in their mouths! LOL!


My sister's birthday cookie. Don't ask why it says what it says. It's a loooong, funny story!


Taco salads/tacos at my parent's for Sunday dinner...


We ordered pizza in one night. Yum! I like a little green pepper on mine. ;)


Hubby's brother came over and worked alllll day on replacing/fixing some plumbing in our basement.


*Whew*! Thanks for stickin' with me! :) I'll be back this weekend to post some more of my photos! Have a good one!

Playing catch-up...

I think I'm taking a chance with this post as Blogger has been a royal pain for me today, ugh. Here goes anyway! *crossing my fingers*

Hey, did you see my new header? I made it last night and I think I like it, although I really miss my vacation photos. I might have to sneak them in somewhere else here, lol.

I'm finally getting the majority of my Project 365 photos posted after a few weeks of life being a bit different than usual, but it's all good (as my friend, Patti says). There were a few days that I didn't take photos and a few that I prefer to keep private. I feel like I'm keeping up for the most part and I'm still enjoying it so I think that's the most important thing. :)

Off we go! *Excuse the absence of day titles this time around but no worries as I have them in order in my pictures folder on my laptop. ;)

Around here, farming equipment on the roadways is a common site - even in April snow!


Beijing (our pug) had a fit and got in the trash! Bad dog! (bad me for leaving a few Easter candy wrappers in there, lol)


My mom doing her therapy exercises after shoulder surgery...


I took my camera to the cemetary when I saw the trees beginning to bloom.


The moon while sitting our front steps...


Happy birthday, Honey!


I noticed the Hawaiian Shaved Ice Shack took off their covering. It must be time for snow cones!


Went to the library to pick up a book I ordered from another library. Isn't our library gorgeous?


Picking up printer ink at Staples...


The tree in our backyard with all it's beautiful buds! Since this photo, we now have full leaves!


A trip through the Dairy Queen...


I made dinner for my parents and took it to them after my mom's surgery...


Giving Beijing a bath - not her favorite activity, lol...


I got in the car and it was a rainy day but I loved the green tree buds and the lone blossom that my wipers had cleared from my windshield...


This is what I call a swap! WOAH! I joined a share/swap (basically each participant stuffs the box full of what they haven't used in their scrappy stash, send it to the next person, they take what they want from the box and add what they're done with. It continues until it goes full circle) and we're already up to 4 (yes, FOUR!) HUGE, HEAVY, STUFFED boxes!


One of the entrances into the town I live. Love how beautiful the trees look!


Ahh, it's time to dangle that arm and soak up some sun!


*Whew* I'm glad to get that caught up. I was starting to feel really behind.

Enjoy your Friday!

Easter/Project 365 Photos

Good morning everyone and Happy Easter weekend to you! The sun is screaming here and it looks like tomorrow is going to be beautiful too! So happy for that! :)

It's going to be a quick post as hubby and I have several hundred eggs to stuff. Yeah, I said a several hundred, lol. It's a tradition that hubby started with his nieces and nephews many, many years ago and we've carried it on together. :)

So, I'm a week behind in posting my Project 365 photos so thought I'd get them up before I post this week's photos tomorrow, lol!

SUNDAY - My open bible


MONDAY - Isn't this photo so trashy looking? I took this photo when hubby and I went to drop off my car at the shop and way in the back was all this trash and this funky car! LOL! I assure you we know the mechanic and he's nice as pie. :)


TUESDAY - I made a big batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies as a thank you to said mechanic


WEDNESDAY - I installed my new Photoshop Elements 7.0! YAY - and upgrade from Photoshop Elements 4.0! By the way, PSE 7 is a steal @ Costco for $49!


THURSDAY - We grilled Spicy Chicken Sausages and sat outside to eat. It was so nice out!


FRIDAY - Hubby and I went and looked at lighting at Home Depot. I'm looking for a new light for my kitchen.


SATURDAY - We went to a local park since it was such a beautiful day. The trees are looking so lovely! Come on Spring!


Wishing you all a wonderful Easter blessings!

I'll be back soon and will share a fun little tidbit that I'm very excited about! I just want to give it it's own post. ;)

Thanks for all your sweet comments and for your visit! I just LOVE and appreciate it! :)
