It's February! Time for another blog update. I'll try for once a month and hope to do more!


This card was made for a DKOS swap on SCS. Use a non-traditional Christmas image to make a Christmas card. Christmas sitting on a beach somewhere, enjoying the sun and surf...sounds like Having Myself a Merry Little Christmas if you ask me!

Halloween in January! hehehe I like the flourishy look of this little witch and her broom! I think I titled the card, "if the broom fits, ride it!" The pumpkin faces are a Martha Stewart border punch. Happy Halloween! (I have a lot of catching up to do!)

Welcome to the Jungle!


I found this colorful Jolees 3D sticker awhile back; created this card for another Secret Sister who has a Parrot.


A little project I made after visiting my daughters in Texas this past summer. I found the Texas stamp at Hobby Lobby a couple years ago and knew I'd come up with an idea for its use sooner or later! Image was colored using Copic Markers. The recipes inside the chipboard covers are postcards with Texas recipes on them. I sent this ensamble to my Secret Sister.

It's About Time...

Yes, it's about time in more ways than one! It's been almost a year since I posted, so it's about time I do so! It's also a time factor....just can't seem to find time to keep up with everything! Again, I'm making a promise to myself to take time to do the things I enjoy, and keeping my blog updated is one of those things!

Here's an update on family ~ my grandson Delt is now a year old; his mommy, my daughter Jenni had a hysterectomy this past fall and is doing very well; the cancer had not spread so no chemo or radiation.

I've come to accept my mastectomy; more importantly, I'm alive and well and it's always one day at a time for all of us! And, yes, I'm still on the fringe of discovery and adventure! What a life and I'm going to make the most of it!

It's a New Day!


I've been MIA for several weeks; healing from mastectomy, healing from the death of my dad, healing from the news that my middle daughter Jenni has cervical cancer. Jenni is Delt's mom. Delt was born on Christmas Day. I posted his newborn picture several weeks ago. Here he is at 3 months. :)
Jenni and Delt are living with my oldest daughter Lauri and her family in Texas. Delt has a 17 year old brother (Jenni's first son and my first grandson) Cameron who lives in Indiana.
That's it for tonight; I'm going to try and post more cards and scrapbook projects soon. :)
