Hey there!!

Sorry haven't been posting lately.. I did get some new stamps today from the Winter Mini so hoping to get some time to stamp soon.. With the kids back in school, no day care kids I am hoping to have time soon.... Last 2 weeks been super busy while Dan's parents were out west visiting family and friends. They went all the way out to Oregon and Washington state and back so they had lots of traveling!!

Hope to post soon!!

Perrenial Bed

We built a deck and I decided to fill in the corner of it so didn't have to mow in there. So went to a friends and got some Perennials. It needs more mulch though and will have to get some as the weeds are starting to grow well in there. I thought the froggie was adorable and the orange bucket adds color... I did add another bucket but have to get another plant for in there yet.

Graduation

Been a while since I have been on... Heather graduated from High school so we were busy getting thing in order and working around the yard for the party.

This is from the set in the Summer Mini catalog that will end August 31st. Love it!

Stamps: Go, Graduate

Paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Kraft, Basic Black

Ink: Real Red, Basic Black

Accessories: Miscellaneous markers,

Baby Chick time....

I went to Rothschild yesterday and got our babies.... Not as many as last year but at the price they were going for at the Small Animal auction I should have started more and made some money!!! These are Buff Orphingtons, Rhode Island Reds and Light Brahamas

These are the ones I got at the Small Animal auction. These are Aracaunas (lay green and blue eggs) and Barred Plymouth Rock chickens..

Landscaping

I love it, just that it's time consuming and expensive. There are Hostas between the lights they just aren't up yet but starting to peek out. Had to make a run to get more stuff as I have to do the other side of the garage too. Still need 4 more bags or rocks!!!

There was way to much weedy mess under the plastic that was there. Couldn't use mulch as the chickens scratch that away. Once I am done with the other side of the garage it is time to start working under the deck and around it...

Graduation....

Graduation is fast approaching so thought I would work on some cards... Got this idea from Splitcoaststampers.com and tweaked it a bit... This was a lot of cutting though

Stamps: Go, Graduate (Summer Mini)

Cardstock: Real Red, Black, Whisper White, Kraft

Ink: Real Red, Basic Black, Misc. markers

Accessories: Dimensionals

Stampin Ups new In Color comparison

Thought I would compare the new In Colors to some of the soon to retire colors for you...

New SU Colors are coming... old favorites are going...

We just got word that we will be getting quite a few new colors in the new catalog and there will be 30 of the old favorites are going.... So sad to see colors going but the new colors coming, and the last In Colors that are staying are going to be great... The In Colors will now be sticking around for 2 years at a time!!!

Kyle's Valentines....

I got most of them done.... Need to go get another bag or two of M&M's as there aren't many white ones in there!!! This is his last year as next year he is in 7th grade and in our school that means in High School :)
