Finally something new!!

Okay so I have been MIA for awhile and I am sorry, I really have no excuse for it. However I was out of town last weekend for my grandma's 75th birthday. We had a good time, most of my family was there. One aunt and one uncle were missing, but other than that all my grandma's kids were there. It was really good to see everyone. Didn't get a whole lot of pictures but there are a few I got. On the left is my cousin Jessica, next to her my mom, then my grandma, me and next to me is my Uncle Cheezy. His real name is Joe, I think, but we have always called him Cheezy. I figure don't ask, don't tell.

Here is also the card I made for her. We call her GG because she is a great-grandma and instead of the great grandkids saying all of that we shortened it to GG. Pretty easy right? Enjoy and hopefully I will have more to post tomorrow or this weekend. Thanks for not giving up hope on me!! There is suppose to be a "Y" on the last square. I guess that is what I get for keeping in my purse to show it off, right?

To put it nicely

To put it nicely and use a word my dear friend Jami made up, I have been a "blacker." A blog slacker. No real reason why, but I just have. I know I need to post something so here is something.

I am hoping to get a few cards made this weekend, but I really don't need any now. I guess Grandma's birthday is coming up so I suppose I could whip her out a card. Stay tuned to see what I decide to come up with!!

Two more

I am slowly getting into making cards and posting them!!! Yeah for me...so the reason for a post on a Friday, I have a wedding this weekend, one of my high school girlfriends is getting married. So I will be in Lincoln partying with all my old high school friends. It should be a blast!! That is the introduction to my first card, I went with her wedding colors, I think the pink maybe a little brighter than she is using, but I liked it. I thought this was a fitting stamp for a wedding so I went with it. Hope they like it.

Next I am a very bad bride. My husband and I will be married for a year on August 5th and we have not sent out thank yous yet. Bad bride, Bad, Bad!!! I guess we just never got around to them, I really don't have an excuse other than being lazy. My husband said we should just tell everyone we wanted to make sure we would make it to year and I said we should just tell people we wanted to make sure the gifts really worked!! Either way the thank yous are made and should be going out here shortly I hope.

Happy Father's Day!!

So I know it has been a week since I last posted and I really don't have an excuse, but here I am posting now. I finally finished my husband's birthday card, my FIL's father's day card, I also made a card from the stamp set I won from Stamping with {Serendipity}.

We have a friend who shares a birthday with my FIL so I made him a card. He lives in Florida, but is an Auburn fan, so being the ornery people my husband and I are I decided to make him a Husker card!!! GO BIG RED!!! On the inside it says, Herbie Husker says "Happy Birthday!" Hope he likes it!!!

I also have an uncle in the army, he is currently in Afghanistan, I made this card to let him know how much I miss him and how thankful I am that I have the freedom to make cards and share them with you all. Hope he likes it!!!

Good Sunday

Okay, so I had a very creative Sunday afternoon. Well I guess I can't say I did all of these today, two of them I did last Thursday. I have a lot of things coming up in the next week. First my aunt and my husbands uncle share the same birthday which is June 15th. These are the cards I came up with for them.















Next is Father's Day, which now I have two to make. I haven't gotten my FIL done yet, but I need to find some pattern paper that I think looks like him. My dad however was pretty easy to make a card for. He is a firefighter and a pyrotech, who does our local show and has for nearly 15 years. So his card I decided to make it look like fireworks, now if it does or not you tell me!!














On Sunday the 17th not only is it father's day but also my parents 29th wedding anniversary. So my friend Jami has this stamp set that say "I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow." Which is a line from my parents "song." So how appropriate is that for their anniversary card?!?














Finally my husband and my FIL have birthdays on the 19th and 20th of June so I have been working on their cards too. My FIL is a big fisher and hunter so I thought I would play up his hobby and this is what I came up with. I am struggling creatively to come up with something for my husband though. I hope something will come to me in the next few days. Wish me luck and send any ideas you may have my way!! Thanks for look and giving me your input it means a lot!!!

The weekend

Okay so I was a little bit crafty this weekend, depending on how you look at it I guess. My friend Jami and I started a FUN project for her husband and mine to complete. We demolished her bathroom. To see our handy work check out her blog, she is linked on mine, crazydaisy creations. We kicked butt!!!



I did also make a card for my nieces baptism with the "blog candy" that I won from Stamping with {serendipity}. Sorry Pam I was pressed for time and didn't get a picture, but I will get one on Saturday when I babysit.

This weekend was so much fun and also relaxing. My grandmother "GG" and my Uncle Debbie, she is really a girl we just call her Uncle, were here for the baptism. It was really good to see them both. I am a bad Auntie and didn't get any pictures b/c I forgot my camera. Papa took a bunch so I will get some on here real soon. Enjoy your first full week in June and be looking for new pictures and post later this week!!!

Look What I did

Okay so I am new to this blogging thing and tried to fix something and ended up deleting it all. So let's try again.



My niece gets baptized June 3rd. And my sister thinking I am Martha Stewart or something decided that I could make her gown. So my friend Jami, also called Jameson, got started on it Tuesday the 22nd. This is what we have come up with. I hope it fits her and I hope my sister likes it.



First here is what we started with.......



















And here is the finished project!!!
