Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday. I hope you are all having a great week! Me... well, it's my first week back at work and I'm battling this ridiculous flu bug, which isn't much fun after my round with bronchitis a couple of weeks ago :-) However, I am beginning to feel somewhat human today! I have a quick card to share with you tonight. I made another card for the Paper Players "love is in the air" challenge this week. I thought my darling hubby deserved another card, so I made one up for him and slipped it into his travel... Read more →


Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you all had a great weekend. We did and sadly tonight is our last day of vacation. It's back to work tomorrow! It's been great having time off relaxing and spending time with Lou! Tonight I'm sharing Marilyn's EM showcase with you.

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. Hope your weekend got off to a great start!

I loved Rosie's variety of card, she really catered for everyone. There are a couple that are my absolute favorites. My regular blog readers will know that I'm crazy about cats and have several, so, needless to say, Rosie's card below really tickled my purr button! Rosie also used a much wider variety of colors than I do in my card making and going through her cards made me realize... Read more →


Hi Everyone Happy New Year! I hope you had a great evening. Lou and I kicked in the new year in a relaxed fashion; a gentle drive around the Phalen Park "lights in the park" display and then off to dinner at a little Italian restaurant in St Paul called La Grolla. We were back in time to celebrate New Year in our new home...well, at home! It's hard to believe that we have been in our new home for 7 months already and that we are STILL doing things around the house! Tonight, I wanted to share the first... Read more →
