I got a card in the mail...

I got a card in the mail from my Oregonian peep.  Thank you for the beautiful card!  I love it!

She is sooo talented! I love her cards!

I'm starting to get ready...

I'm starting to get Halloween gifts ready for my nieces and nephews.  I found this pencil case template on Anna Wight's blog: Pencil Case Template I thought it was really cute, so I thought I would try it...finally on the fourth try, I got it right!  I colored the pumpkins with my  Prismacolor markers.  They are alcohol markers just like Copic...but a different brand.  I wanted to add more accessories, but wasn't sure where to add them.  

I didn't want to do it...

I didn't want to do it, however, I had to do something...I started a halloween-ish stitching project.  I know it isn't part of my 2011 project list.  But I need to get out of my slump...I had several projects out, but wasn't motivated to work on any of them.  I've had this pattern for SEVERAL years...and happy to have the opportunity to finally getting to stitch it.

A little card...

I created this card for someone who just bought their first home.  I'm going to include some votive candles which I purchased at a friend's PartyLite party.  I used the Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge 353 as the card base; here the card:

So my darling hubby...

So my darling hubby starts cracking up with laughter during dinner...here's what he was giggling about.  The comic strip is an example of several conversations we've had in the past...seriously!

Getting ready for....
