ABCDEFG - Package Arrived!!

I've been out of town all week visiting my son in the hospital and just now getting home. In the mail was my package from Julie's Open Window. I won her card giveaway some weeks back and have been looking forward to receiving it.

The card is really cute and would be a great card for a 5th birthday and a cute keepsake too. Thanks for all the little extras you included in the package, they were truly a surprise. I'll have to create a card with the embellishments you sent and post a photo. Look for it soon.

Thank you Julie, keep creating those lovely cards. I can tell your cards by the cute flowers; they seem to be your signature style.

Stamping Buddy

Today is all about Kathy a friend I met several years ago at our monthly bingo group. We got to talking about our hobbies and it turned out that she is an avid stamper.

Kathy sent me a batch of her cards to post for others to enjoy. Kathy is retired, plays bingo almost daily, cares for her granddaughter a few times a week and works at some of the local bingo games.

Thanks Kathy for sharing. I love the Rooster Card. Which one is your favorite? Please take a moment to comment or just say hello. It doesn't take much time. Sharing is what our blogs are all about and we do want to hear from you.

Fun Filled Day

Here are a few greeting cards and postcards from my stash that I'd like to share. There are a number of different techniques used here. If you are curious about what was used just send me a post and I'll get back to you.

Today three of my grandsons came over to spend the day with me and my husband. We played with water guns and had a blast. So full of energy, they seem to never get tired. We needed a rest so I sat and watched them play video games for a while. I was so amazed at how quick there little hands were at pressing the buttons and at the intelligence level it takes to play those games. There's so much going on at once, I don't know how they keep track of the moves, the pop-ups and the characters. The twins, who are three years old, and their older brother who is four, played one game each against their mother and won her fair and square. She was lost from the start.

After lunch I read them a book and than we watched a movie before they left for home totally exhausted from the excitement, or should I say I was the one exhausted. I'm so grateful for the fun and laughs we had today, it sure made the day go by in a flash. I have to tell you about the biggest laugh we had. At one point, after running around with the kids, my daughter said, "I'm pooped". My four year old grandson looked at her with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Mom -- you pooped yourself"? We all laughed so hard.

The house is quiet now and I thought I'd retreat to my sewing room for an hour or two andwork on some projects.
