Tartar Sauce Scrapped

Morning all. Prayers today as Mom is having her pacemaker replaced. Should be an in and out same day but she is 87 so we still worry.

I scrapped another recipe last night. I used files from the Silhouette store to do this.

Have a blessed day. 

Clean and simple

Morning all. Well I got a good start on tearing our deck down yesterday. It was beautiful out and I had to be outside. This morning I am relaxing with coffee and my silhouette. I made these 2 cards casing a card from qbeesquest.

I printed the paper from my silhouette patterns and then cut out the circles butterflies and flowers. (All Silhouette files). I had some perfect little button brads that matched the colors I used.

Since it is raining I am going to spend my day browsing all your lovely creations on your blogs. Have a safe day!

Thank you Kate

As most of you wonderful people know, I am on a journey of quitting smoking. Today is my 43rd day. A wonderful person and fellow blogger Kate Martin has been one of my strongest supporters and has beautiful creations on her blog. Here are the cards that she has sent me over the ocean to help me continue on my journey. Thank you so much Kate, you will never know how much it means.

I have them taped to the top of my laptop so every time I close it, I see them and remember that there are better things than a cigarette.

I do have a card going back her way but cannot post it yet. Hopefully will get to the post office today to get it out. Mom has to have her pacemaker changed on Thursday so she is resting until then.

Everyone have a blessed and safe day and Thank You for stopping.

Recipe scrapped

Morning all. I had a very busy weekend with hubby trying to get some stuff done outside and did not have time to update or even check the blogs. It is raining here so I have all day!!! I can catch up. I did have a blog saved that I wanted to case because she had a really cool idea. Scrapping her favorite recipes! I had to try it now I think I will be busy because it turned out so cute. Her site is Bugbites411 located at  http://bugbites411.blogspot.com/p/food-fare.html. She has some cool recipes also.

For those of you following my no smoking campaign...Today starts my 42nd day! I made it through the birthday party at the bar Friday where they do allow smoking and actually left early because it was pretty thick. My husband was even proud that I did not like the smell. Thanks again for all your wonderful encouragement and support!

Sweet Friend

Morning all! Awful start to the weekend...rain, rain, rain. They say it is going to clear off but I am not optimistic about that.

Today is my 39th day of my No Smoking campaign. Tonight will probably be my true test as a friend is having a birthday gathering at the local bar. I think I can get through a few minutes. My hubby gave me a luck stone to carry in my pocket to remind me that I can do this. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...lol

This is her card that I made last night. I used the template from Birds Cards, http://www.birdscards.com/card-cover-7-thanks-circle/ to cut the top layer. I added a pale blue ribbon and bow to the bottom. I then added the back piece in blue. I used the sentiment from JustRite Clear Grand Senitments that I received for my birthday earlier and stamped the center on a white circle. I used pop up dots to give it dimension. I added the butterfly that I had cut from my Silhouette and used Glossy accents on it for shine.

Hope you liked my card and have a safe and blessed day.

Hummingbird Stepping Stone

Morning all. I painted this stepping stone for Mom for Mother's day. We will not be here as my brother's surgery is the day after and he lives 7 hours away so we are leaving early to spend some time with him. We have not decided where to put it as she does not want to step on it...lol

Have a great day.

Gift tags

woohoo...I miss counted and have another day to strike off my quit smoking days! Today is my 37th! Thanks again to everyone for the great comments.

I have some gift tags that I made. Pretty simple. I printed and cut with my Silhouette. I added quilling to the fronts and ribbons.

Have a safe and blessed day.
