Julie Nutting Mermaids Shadow Box

I made this for a swap and it has been delivered so can now post it.These are the new Julie Nutting Mermaids.They come with a set of dies.Sad to say the dies in no way match up with the image.I don't know if this is a known design flaw or what but none of mine matched up.I emailed the company but never heard back.I don't recommend buying the dies.The images are darn cute though.All of the 3 D images are from Jolee's or Little B.The paper and words are from Julie Nutting paper mini pack.

Happy Moms Day Shawnie.

We celebrated moms day today.Shawn,P.J and the kids went to Lyons Landing for the very last time moms day weekend.Her parents sold the business and the kids went up for one last visit.So today we did our thing.We had dogs on the grill some yum fruit and corn on the cob.Grandpa was able to rile up all three children and leave,what a guy.
I made this Memory box for Shawnie based on their trip to Disney this last winter...she loved it.Happy moms day to my sweet daughter in law who is a great mom and  all around sweet person.

My Spring Doll Trade

This is the doll I sent my friend Kati for our Spring swap... The second one is the one she sent me.The first ones dress  dress is paper pieced and the hat is from Jolees.The flowers are from American Crafts.Words are a rub on.

September 11 May We Never Forget.

God bless the the victims and all those they left behind and all of the emergency personnel that gave their life to try and save others on the anniversary of 911..you are not forgotten.

Everything Is Either Black Or White.

I so love to re purpose things and would like to think it is because I am going green...nope truth is I am cheap.I was at my son and daughter in laws house a while back and they were selling their changing table--I did not see white changing table I saw cute storage for books and throws. So $40.00 for the cabinet....less than $10.00 worth of spray paint and $10.00 worth of pretty porcelain knobs from Hobby Lobby later here is the end result.From white to black and now living in my house..thanks Shawnie and P.J I love it.

This Is The Last Of Them.

These are the last ones I used the rub-ons with.Tomorrow on to a great card with a new image by Hampton Arts.

Time Slips Away Fast.Happy 31 P.J

Today is our sons 31ST birthday.Happy Birthday P.J and many more.We love you and wish for you a blessed day.

 

Happy Things Are Happening.

Lots of good things coming are way...I spent the last month reading the Hunger Games Trilogy.I like to read the books before they come to the big screen.I went with a friend this morning to see it and it did not disappoint,stayed pretty true to the book.Hope the second movie comes out soon.If you get a chance read the books--they are so worth the read.
We also might be relocating somewhere else.The DH does not like the drive in the winter when they don't plow until we get 4-6 inches.He wants to be on more acreage but he has decided he needs to win the Publisher Clearing house for that to come true.Either great property and shack of a house or no property and a great home..... decisions decisions.
The last thing happens in the fall--I will post it as soon as it happens..can not wait.

Love U.

The background paper is from Marcella for K&Co.The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and the slide is from SU.

Antique Bottles.

When we used to live in OH we had a huge collection of these old bottles.We used to have them in the kitchen and when the sun came through it looked like stained glass.When we moved they got lost in the shuffle somewhere between move 10 and 12.
The stamp is from Inkadinkado 60-00513.I used SU chalks and the paper is from DCWV.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hollywood Dream.

Heart Trouble,Pretty Flowers AND Shemar.

On the 19th of April I had a heart attack.I was ironing at the time and my dearest friend Kati told me it was caused by ironing and to "throw the thing out"Well the iron is still here and I have learned that Dr's CAN kill you.My potassium was really low and the Dr gave me the advice to lower my blood pressure meds and did not look at the one I was still(has a diuretic in it) on AND told me to drink lots more water.. the water makes you go(not going into detail on that sorry ) she did NO blood test for low potassium and the already low potassium got low,low,lower and BAM I had a heart attack.The next day I had a heart cath and I still feel like I got hit by a bus.Oh and the Dr said she was not responsible--I have changed Dr's




OK on to the Shemar part of this post and back to dear friend who told me to throw out the iron.She sent me a balloon and a cute little brown bunny who was promptly name Shemar Moore.Don't know who this is? Well Google him -- yup he is a looker,sorry Tom.

Shemar the Bunny

Shemar Moore the actor.

My friend Tina came and stayed with me the day after I came home so Tom could go back to work and she brought me the prettiest arrangement.Then my granddaughter's from my oldest son Shawn,sent me a nice vase of tulips.We are near Holland and it is almost tulip time so really fitting.My youngest son brought a lilly when they came to dinner on the following Sunday(Easter).He also brought the main meat course so all we had to do was make baked potatoes and a salad.My husbands company sent me an arrangement of flowers you plant outside.They will be remembered for years or until I kill them off.In Ohio I had a green thumb,here

 it is black.I hated going through all this but it sure makes you grateful for what you have and for what you don't have you just pray that someday it gets better and stop worrying about things that are not in your realm of control.Hope you all had a blessed happy Easter.
