Pink Tulips

Every time I see these I have to bring them home. Love them.
Isn't this shade of pink just perfect?
Mine outside aren't blooming yet.,but soon.

More Daisies

These don't even make me feel better today.

Fastener from SP. Used Soft & Faded action from Pioneer Woman and overlay from Florabella.

Spring Robins

These little gals are sooooo fat! I needed to use the tripod cause the lighting was terrible but it was in the truck and I was in the house and I didn't want to scare them off. It's till snowing right now but not real heavy. Kansas City is getting hit really hard...last time I saw the weather they had over 8 inches and still coming down. I hope it slides past us! We have had more than our share for one season.
I started feeding the birds last fall and we are just now beginning to see a variety of them. We had tons of robins, one cardinal and one woodpecker this morning and tons of little chickadees. I love watching them! I need to get a book on Missouri birds and learn how and what to feed them so I can get some different ones. My sister in law has Orioles and they are so beautiful!
This is a kit called Spring Breeze by Michelle Shefveland and I got it from Scrappers Guide.

First Day of Spring.....&**%$#$%^&

Look what we woke up to......I'm about to pack it up and move somewhere tropical! We were just getting the rock roads settled down so we could travel on them. This is disgusting!

Daisy.....Daisy

I found this vase on my last trip to the Amish Country and had to have it just to use as a photo prop. Love the color. Got the Daisy at the florist yesterday.
I think this will get printed and framed to hang in my bathroom when I get it redone.

Mom's Birthday Card

I will not take credit for this card and I hope its ok with the artist that I 'borrowed' it. It was fun to recreate it without the stamps or punches. I can't thank you enough for helping me with the leaves. I think I could have made them but it would have taken me a whole lot longer! I'm so slow. The punched edge took me most all day yesterday to figure out but I'm glad I persevered cause it taught me a bit more about the Sure Cuts a Lot program and using my Cricut. I can browse these card sites forever....love to see their work and hopefully, someday, when I have more time, I can design my own too. This was the first time I've added stitching to my cards and it won't be the last time. It was so funny to be sewing on paper instead of material and I really like the look it gives the card. I ended up using a grunge overlay cause I was too tired to go to town to buy any ink. I've got an ordered placed for some right now, along with some more card stock and some ribbon.
The card is designed by Besty Weldman and her website is Paper, Scissors and Superheros.

More Spring

Brent had to take the first shot for me. I've been down in the back for several days, don't think I could get down for this angle on a good day. No way on a bad day. If I did I would still be laying there tomorrow.

These are so pretty. Wish they would stay forever.

LOOK...... what I found today

I hope this makes you smile like it did me.

Vick, Jessi & Jason

This is a quick and not very good snap of the kids. That Jason is so ornery that if I do more than point and shoot he is making silly faces at me. Can't get a good picture of him at all.

Background paper Taylormade. Dot paper from Sp with a color change. Word art from DD and the flowers and grid brush is FeiFei's stuff.

I almost forgot how to do a page.

Retouched

Let me know if this one looks better.

Snowy Lane 2010

This was my post from yesterday....I like the frosty tree in the foreground along with the fence post. But....I'm ready to see green grass and green leaves now..

Such Beauty

I'd like to think I had a small hand in her beauty and charm but not sure any of it came from me except for those exception green eyes. She has her dad's smile and nose and his gift for gab. She doesn't know a stranger and would give you the shirt off her back even through she didn't have one to replace it with. She is 100% devoted to her son and I hope he realizes how lucky he is to have her. I am blessed to have been given the job of being her mom, even through I failed to fulfill that position properly. I hope she knows she is the love of my life!

This was taken on Christmas morning at her house. Her sweater kind of clashed with the lights so I toned it down to a bit of sepia. I need your honest opinion here.....I softened her skin and sharpened her eyes and hair but want to know if I over did it....I hate seeing photos where the skin looks fake. Is it too much?

This was not the post I was going to do....the one I did yesterday was of snow so I posted it to PP instead. LOL...

Tulip

Had to buy these when I saw them at the grocery yesterday. They can make me smile even when I'm looking out at the snow.
Is it ever going to quit????
Used several textures and overlays from FloraBella.
Staple from Shabby Princess.

Clementine

Shot of the Clementine that I took a couple of weeks ago.

Love these little things.

Played around with a few textures.

Cupcake

Made these for all to eat on Sunday. So good, but I can't keep eating things like this. I guess the next ones I make will have to be Chocolate for Brent.

10 inches plus

This has got to be the worst winter I can remember....I'm so sick of this white stuff. Bill is still outside (its almost 7 pm) trying to get as much cleared off as he can so we can get out in the morning to go to work. It's still coming down and the wind is blowing, so it will start drifting back. He looks so cold out there. The poor old Toro is probably about to lay down on us. It's 17 years old. We only use it to blow snow and mow the corner across the road. We want to buy a snow blower for the JD but its almost 4000.00 and we haven't got it saved up yet. Maybe by next winter. It's going to be a miserable day tomorrow....hopefully, they have the highways cleared at least. I just won't be traveling on the gravels or secondary blacktops. At least the sun is suppose to shine by Tues. or Wed.

Cherry Crisp

Just finished making these...I'm sure they wouldn't be on Weight Watchers menu! I haven't tried them yet. Bill says they are good but the crust is kind of rubbery. You use Grands flaking biscuits and cut each biscuit in half. Then you press them out in a circle and put them in a muffin pan. I was having trouble get them pressed into the cups, so I used my Pampered Chef roller and rolled them out. That might be why they came out a bit rubbery or I didn't bake them quite long enough. I don't know. I'll try them again someday.

Winter 2010

I pass this every morning and for once, I took my camera with me to get a shot. I wish I'd thought to put it in the car yesterday morning because the sun was shining bright but I didn't. By the time we got done loading and on the road, the sun was gone and the wind was howling. It made for one miserable day.

Valentine 2010

Here they are....nothing real special as I didn't have much time. Gavin was here helping me and he was a big help and we had fun. He let me know that the girls were a lot more special than the boys were...lol....I just couldn't come up with much for the boys that wasn't too girly for them. The bags are from Shabby Shoppe from the Valentine collection. Gavin and I made the basketball on the Cricut. It took us quite a bit of cutting before we figured out how to get the ball and swoosh lined up right. Gavin glued the balls together and then stapled and filled the bags.

Walk in the Snow

We have about 5 or 6 inches of snow on the ground from yesterday and it's snowing again but it's not accumulating much today.

It is so pretty out that we went for a walk in the park. It was so cold that by the time I finished snapping these I couldn't feel the shutter button. I guess I need new gloves and I know I need some boots.

Brent took the third one down.
