Swap cards

These are cards from recent swap, they are just so beautiful. These were my favorite :) The technique uses crystal effects, re-inkers and dazzling diamonds glitter.

More Big Blooms

I have been playing with my Big Blooms set and having fun with it. Every so often I come across a stamp set that can make darling cards yet they are so simple to create.

Playing with Big Blooms

A few more days ....

until Ree comes back. We all miss him so I am posting this picture of him. Does he look like a hillbilly already, or what ? Ha !

Scrapping Away

Hubby is gone, it's Saturday, what's a girl to do? Other than getting some scrapbooking done, I also slaved 4 hours cleaning out the shed, so I hope that's a fair balance ;)

Brownies

We bought a mega size box of Brownies at Walmart and kids have patiently watched it sit in the cupboard so we finally made some today. Adrianne looks puzzled since she did not get any.
You can view the pictures larger just by clicking on them. They don't seem like much here but they are huge and you can see details much better :)

Tornado Season

Hubby left for a week long mission on Thursday and we got some bad weather Thursday night and more through Friday. The weather channel was threatening with hail, tornadoes, floods, and what have you, oh, what fun ! This morning it was sunny again and no sign of any storm anywhere even though last time we saw alarming puddles and ponds forming in the neighbor's backyard and in our driveway. Our large pond filled though ! I should probably go and take a picture for Ree to see it in case it will go down again before he gets back. We had never seen a drop of water in that one and it was nice to have an orange puddle you can actually call a "pond" with the right amount of optimism ;) Our little pond that Adrianne likes to wade in got bigger and she was all excited to be actually swimming around. Frogs are out and you can hear them singing. Susan and Ethan came to visit on their way from Walmart - great time to get some company, we all enjoyed it.
