Weather and Cards

                                            How's the weather where you are?  We're being blessed with lovely days and chilly nights.  For two nights our forecast has called for mid 60's, they lied!  More like mid to lower 40's...

Hope the time change didn't mess up your Sunday plans.  I was up at 0330...stayed up about 30 minutes and went back to bed for almost three more hours

Earthen Elegance from Stampin' Up! Rip and Flip the paper for a more rustic results.  Pebbled Path cardstock for a more masculine feel


This is a OSW from Jessica Taylor All retired supplies from Stampin' Up!  I like to use strips of paper in place of ribbon, these are usually scraps and it's a great way to use them.



Speaking of scraps this card was made from scraps!  The small embossed panel needed to be used so I just built the layers up from there.


Some of my cards are stamped on the inside


Retired Dainty Flowers and current Circle Says for the greeting.  I've still got plenty of this DSP


Rustic Harvest retired but still lovely for Fall cards


All is right in our world

Time Passes

        And the pain diminishes.  But I still miss our little Boo.

We bought a new TV...Our old TV was fine except we were having trouble streaming Acorn TV.  The App was the problem and /or the age of the television.   Jim tried all the fixes but it didn't work.  Since this is one app we paid for we wanted to watch it.  So Jim made the decision to purchase a new TV.  It's a different brand and the only way we can watch Acorn is through the Apple TV App<<<free trial ends in three months!  So we'll have to pay for it!  They get you, one way or another, they get you!

We gave the old TV to Christy and Rik yesterday.  Our outing had us at Breakfast Station for lunch...they serve breakfast all day.  Jim had eggs, bacon, grits and an English Muffin.  I had a cinnamon swirl pancake...we both enjoyed our meal.  Then we headed to Country Feed Store to make a trade a TV for a tomato cage...Deal done.

The folks up north decided to send us some very chilly, windy air and I wanted the tomato cage for my little tomato plant that has a couple tomatoes.  It turned out the wind was really, really cold so I tucked some plants in the compartment so they wouldn't get wind burn.

We returned home a different route so we could check out a campground in Panacea, right on the bay.  It's at a marina next to some condos. Very small but nice.  From there we went to the beach!


Talk about cold!  But is was so pretty, even if the tide was out.  Back home we had coffee and cookies, well I had my leftover pancake, Jim had cookies
