Cards, cards and more cards

I apologize for the quality of these pictures.  My Canon is old and I flat got tired of snapping pictures trying to get a good one.  Then I uploaded them and couldn’t find them!  Almost an hour and Jim helped.  By comparing to the pictures on my phone it looks like two have already been mailed.

Handmade cards because:

No one displays an email on the mantle

or shows off a tweet on the fridge

or saves a Facebook post in a box of treasures

For the year of 2019 I've challenged myself to 500 cards think I can do it?

 10 October 2019 232 cards

All of these cards use Stampin' Up! and Echo Park papers, ephemera and ink.  Nuvo Drops here and there and some do dads from my stash. Sequins!  because we like bling, right?

These five are from a Paper Pumpkin kit and it was supposed to make gift bags.  I just used all the stuff on cards!

By my calculations I'm way behind on making cards!  I guess I better step up the pace if I want to reach my goal.

Jim and I are well...mostly.  For some reason I've felt it necessary to nap a few times this past week and I'm having trouble with my stomach.  This has happened before, it will pass.

Cooler Temperatures!

Finally!  Our nights are cooler, our days are cooler and I'm loving it.  I'm able to open the windows and let the gentle breeze waft through the house.  Still able to wear shorts and sandals and going out in the middle of the day is quite nice when it isn't so blazing hot.

Last Saturday we ventured out and visited Johnson City just north of us.  Very small with a population of just over 2000.  But, it is home to the LBJ Historical Park and State Park.  We only visited the the welcome center but found it informative.  We need to go back and explore.

Pecan Street Brewing is also there and that's where we had lunch.  Cold beer and good food.  

There's also a Lavender Farm that I want to visit.  Hmm, I wonder if I should wait until the flowers are blooming?  Also, it's the gateway to a bazillion wineries along highway 290.  So much to see and sample!

For some reason my Samsung phone is not syncing with this blog.  Since September 17 not one picture I've taken shows up for me to upload.  The pictures are on my phone, so I think it's a blog problem. Trust me, I've been making cards so I guess I'll have to break out my camera, find the cards and take pictures again.  I'm sure I've mailed one or two.  Unless you know the fix for this....I'll just have to do this the old fashioned way.

Jim and I are doing well.  Just the usual old people aches and pains.  His breathing is much better but still struggles a bit when doing chores.  Of course he naps most days but tries not to for a few days in a row.  What can I say?  He likes to sleep.
