Commissioned!!

That's right!! My first 'card for hire'!

Lynn wanted something for a friend of hers retiring on Friday. . . which one do you think she'll pick??

















The little gal on the left didn't have the right towel on her head when I took the pic; she now is a twin to the gal on the right. Also, the stickles smeared the ink. I know it was dry, because I stamped the image 3 days before. I did another card with glue and glitter and it turned out ok. . . maybe the stickles just reacts with the ink I used. I am going to redo the images with glue and glitter, but I was too excited to wait to post!

Anyway - maybe back later with more. . .

I WILL NOT FALL!!

I won't give in. I won't give in.

I

won't

give

in. . . . .

to those nasty little yummy frosted fruity sweet tasty Pop Tarts!!

Ok, I know - wierd, but I have so been craving them lately. But, I need to dump some weight, so I am not giving in. Not during this minute - not today either - LOL.

So, this weekend. . . Saturday was very uneventful. Cleaned a little. Did laundry a little. Napped a little :)

Yesterday we went to Yakima to pick up Jeremy's mom . . . Got to have lunch with Jesica and the kids and shop at the Craft Warehouse - WOOHOO. . .

That's about it for now. I have made more cards. And I must say cuter than the ones I previously posted. New stamps :) But Baxter got ahold of a couple of them. I need to inspect the damage and post those. I will get to it soon. Tomorrow is Silverwood - YAY - Lazy River and a floatie, here I come!!

Just had a FABULOUS thought. . .

I don't have to stop to make dinner tonight!! Jeremy works late, not that I necessarily like it when he works late, and I can come home from work, let the buppers out, clean and pick up maybe a little, and PLAY!! WOOHOO, that means I can finish setting this thing up, and update it and figure it out; and I can stamp and scrap and whatever !!! So exciting to not have to let something silly like needing to eat read: make dinner for the fam interrupt me!!

I think I might like this bloggin thing!!  Playing a bit tonight. . .   hope to do more after posting; I just had to try it out!

This adorable little guy is from C.C. Designs.  I ordered him from allthatscraps.com

First card:

CTMH cardstock in Crystal Blue, Sunny Yellow and white for the base.  I used the cuttlebug to emboss, some chalks for the sky and colored him in with Copics.  Oh, and a couple of brads and some glitter on the 'waves'.  just have to grin looking at him  :)

Second Card:  DCWV textured cardstock for the base, Chatterbox patterned paper, American Crafts ribbon and again, colored the little cutie with copics

Still grinning  :)  Int' he cute??

OK - back to playing hopefully - like I said, just wanted to give posting my artwork a try!!

'night

Last Night's Excellent Adventure

OK, here it is. . .  I'm gettin blog-gy wit' it. . .  Doin' the blog thang. . . Gittin' down wit my blog self.

ooh, here's one:  Watup blog?    oooh or   Yeeaaah blog!!  (BLOG as in - DAWG !!))

Ok, ok. . .  I know  - enough already and on with last night's excellent adventures.

Well, it all started with an email. . . 

Our dear Robbi sent me a link to a Craig's List post for a cabin at Priest Lake for sale by owner for $275,000!!!  Ok, but unbelievable!!  I am pretty sure that none of us has ever really thought of this as a reality. . .  but here it is $275,000 and we can do this!  So, after about an hour's worth of phone calls and questions, Jeremy and I drove up there last night (let's all throw up a quick shout of praise for a safe trip. . .  there were no large animal encounters - either in the car or at the property -- Praise the Lord!) and looked at the little cabin near Indian Creek Campground. . .

Slide show will now commence. . . 

oh, sorry, I don't know how to do a slide show yet - ok, here are the pics:

Here is a shot outside the cabin - this was after everything else, I wanted to make sure I got good shots of the beach and the slope, so it was near dark when I got pics of the cabin. . .

A few shots inside

The slope down

Here's one of Jeremy coming down - might give a better idea

This is the beach, I think the whole thing.  When we talked to Eric today, he said the outcropping in the distance was one side of the property. . .

this is a nice little flat area right above the beach - has a fire pit; would be a nice little grassy area

Oh Steph - here is your luxury master bath shower!!  :)

It's on the back OUTSIDE wall of the cabin!

mmmm, view from the deck; actually, I think the deck is bigger than the inside of the cabin!

And this my FF (that's fantastic family, in case you didn't know)

is what makes it all worth it. . . .

I'll leave you all with that thought for now. . .

Love ya!
