A Day Like Any Other?

                No!  Today was special as we got to spend time with Sonsearae.  Unfortunately Chris was in Indianapolis getting a Colson Fellows certificate.  He worked several months to earn this and we are all proud of him.

Family dinners are fun!  Most every Sunday we spend with them and Sonsearae fixes us excellent meals to eat.  Today on the menu was a huge pastas salad that I'm sure she will enjoy during the week and she sent some home with us.  She also fixed a low country boil that takes very little time to cook in an instant pot.  Potatoes, corn on the cob and andouille sausage. Of course there was French bread with butter. For dessert she made a blueberry cobbler.  On Saturday her neighbors Jose and Marge picked the blueberries.

Using Countryside Inn DSP and dies this card comes together quite quickly!  Stampin' Up! 

Quick and easy cards from Echo Park June 2022 card kit

On the 25th of the month I make Christmas Cards.  Cozy Christmas from Echo Park.  The template is from Jess Crafts #14.  The cardstock is Stampin' Up! Christmas to Remember Sentiment from SU also

This set of cards was made with retired DSP Dainty Flowers and Starry Sky cardstock.  I used the Countryside Inn die.  I used some scraps paper to make these so they all look different!

The cards are made from a 6x6 sheet of paper.  Don't you just love the bright colors?  Circle Saying Bundle for the sentiment

These are Mystery Cards.  I whole thing involves a sheet of 12x12 paper.  You turn it over and just cut into card fronts.  In this case 4x5 1/4.  There is a small bit leftover that can be used on the inside of the card.  I use die cuts from Forever Fern and Quiet Meadow

This is what I started with

Had a few showers today and apparently the power was off for a bit.  Our Crepe Myrtle is beginning to bloom

All is right in our world

Winter comes, winter goes

 Today has been one lazy day.  Neither one of us went outside despite the 65+ degrees we had.  Now it's cooling off, we've had afternoon coffee and the sun is going down.  At least the days are getting longer! 

Can't think of anything that has happened that's exciting.  We spend our days just reading and gaming.  I have my daily chores that have to be done.  

Our cycle of weather is really getting to Jim.  We have a couple nice days, then a cold front with rain days and lower temperatures comes through making him loathe to go outside.  The nights of freezing temperatures are not welcome!

This card was made for a challenge at Club Scrap and I chose to send it to Anne for her birthday.  I hope she liked it

Dainty Flowers DSP from Stampin' Up! I am in love with this paper, even the reverse side has soft feminine colors.  It has a matching set of stamps and dies I may need!

I used a template from Jess Crafts to make these.  Using up some retired SU DSP  Butterfly Bijou.  I fussy cut all the butterflies

Oh!  I got my hair cut, that's always a treat

All is well in our world
