Good to be home

 

Hello Everyone!

Hope that everyone is doing well. I'm sorry that I have been gone

for a while but my life got kind of crazy. In January we were struggling

with some health issues that my husband was having and we asked our

Lord to help us figure out what we should do. The things that can happen

when you put all your trust and faith in our Lord . Things happened real

fast and the Lord led us back to Medford Oregon. I thank the Lord for

leading us back here because I always felt this to really be my home. I

love the trees, the weather is wonderful. Last week we were in the

low eighties for a few days. The winters are mild and I love that about

this area.

 

 

 

The picture above is of Table Rock a great hiking place.

I will tell you more about our move in the next few days. Now I have

a favor to ask of all my readers. Many of you have read here on my

blog about Marion who adopted me as her Nana (grandmother). The

vehicle that her parents have has been outgrown and is getting old

. Marions mother has entered Marion in a contest to try and win a 

new wheelchair accessible vehicle. I ask that you follow the link

and vote for Marion to win.

We got a little late start in this and the voting ends on May 10th.

 

 

You can vote every day once a day.

 

Thank you in advance for voting. Until my next post Have a Splendid

Day!!!!!!

Where did February go?

Hello everyone!!!!

Hope to find you all doing well and staying safe. I

know that so many of you are dealing with some crazy

weather as we have been. Today they say (the weather people)

that in our area we should get close to fifty degrees. I'll

let you know if that actually comes true.

Wow where did February go? I just realized that I hadn't

posted my Christmas tag for February so here it is. It's

a real simple tag. I used some of my scraps.

The poinsettia I made some time ago. The music scroll

I had stamped it some time ago also to use on another

project and decided that it wasn't right so I tossed aside

and now found a use for it. I like how it turned out.

Hope you like it.

A reminder

We will be starting a new challenge over at NMWC blog

so be sure to be on the look out for that. Until my next

post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!!

In keeping up......

Hello everyone!!!!!!

Sorry for the late post I got kind of busy today and just

realized that I had not posted my card on my blog.

In keeping up with my New Years resolution here is

a Christmas card that I put together.

A real simple card. The image is Stampendous Poinsettia

Background cling stamp.  I colored the poinsettias with

water color pencils and embossed the sentiment with gold

embossing powder.

Hope you like this simple card. Until my next post

Have A Splendid Evening!!!!!!!!

I've fallen!!!

 

Hello everyone!

Hope to find everyone doing well. 

Did you think that I had fallen off the face of the earth?

No such luck...LOL... I have been busy taking care of some

things that kind of got left on the back burner last year when

there was so much going on with my family. I am almost

have caught up with everything.

This is just a quick post to show you one of several cards

that I have been working on. I'm not sure where the image

came from. If anyone knows who created the digi please let

me know so that I can give credit where credit is due.

A big thank you to all you wonderful artists

out there that allow us to use thier images.

I want to also remind you about the challenge over at

NMWC blog we would love for you to join in the link is

Thrifty Tuesday 2/5

Hello everyone!!!!!

Hope to find you all doing well. I'm keeping busy alot to do

these days. Before I get into my thrifty tuesday blog I want

to update everyone about my adopted granddaughter. Marion

was released from the hospital late yesterday evening.  She

is now home continuing the road to recovery. I thank you

all who heard my request for prayers and prayed for her and

her family. The power of prayer is so amazing as is our Lord.

Thank You Everyone from the bottom of my heart!!!!!

 

Now on to my picture. I have been watching alot of

scrapbooking haul videos lately and so many were able to

get to their local Michaels store and get some great buys.

For some of us it is a little hard to get to those great sales

because we have to travel a good distance. What is pictured

above is some stamps that I found at Craft Warehouse. They

have their Christmas items at 75% off and since not many

were paying attention to what the other craft stores are clearing

out I managed to get the stamps at $1.75 each. What a great

buy!!!

I also found some Washi tape it was marked $2.50 but when it

rang up it cost $1.75. Not the price that everyone else was paying

at the compition store but still a gret buy.

I also managed to find some of the Lost & Found Santa packs

I got these at 75% off the original price and these were the

only ones that I could find at my local store. Another great buy.

There was so much more that I could have purchased but I need

to use up all I have already before my husband kills me...lol...

Well I better go and see what I can create. Until my next post

Have A Splendid Afternoon!!!!!
