I did change to the cupcake

I did make another card for KellyP. The colors are dark brown and pink. Stamped the polka dots aka polkaspots in white, cut cupcake from cricut and cuttlebug swiss dot on brown. I am addicted to that swiss dot folder. The little table is the side of a stamp and a little swirl stamped underneath. Have a great night, don't let the goblins get you!

Very productive...

October is a very busy card month for me, birthdays, anniversaries, and Halloween. I actually doubled a card to send to Aunt G and Aunt S for their birthday. That's the one with the fern. I made Kelly P the other card with the flowers, but I'm thinking I should probably make one with cupcakes instead, she wants to open a business selling gourmet cupcakes, at least she did last year. Well I'll see the time I have. Looking forward to updates, I know JL has been very creative......

Another Martha Project

Gma wanted to decorate a piece of material that she found and made into a tablecloth. She saw MS paint leaves that she collected and stamp them onto a tablecloth. Our leaves weren't veiny enough so we had to use stamps. She started the project and then got tense, she can sew drapes, but not stamp onto an old piece of material. This is the result. Hopefully the creases will come out when she heat sets the paint. Have a nice weekend!

Bailey got a bath

GMa decided that she couldn'twait for me to get home from work to help, so she gave her a bath this afternoon. Bailey was just posing for us on the couch and obviously wanted her picture taken because she is just Be-u-tiful!!! I know you'll agree....

Two posts in one week!

I made a first year calendar for Liam. It is bound with roll-a-bind so the pages can be removed and then replaced. Each left hand page is a blank calendar for the month. Included is a decorated clipboard so that the current calendar page can be removed from the book, left on the clipboard to write down the 'firsts'. Then the page is returned to the book and pictures can be added to the right hand page to illustrate that month. I put a pocket in the back with some extra tags to write on. I did include instructions!

At least I try for

for once a week! These are 2 of the projects that have kept me busy. The top is a little brag book I made for Mrs. W congratulating her on becoming a Gma. I'll post M&KW gift when I finish the front cover. The bottom is for one of the birthday buddies. We are invited to celebrate his birthday for dinner with his brother and SIL and two children. Should be fun! We are not taking Bailey, we think she will be uncomfortable with Annalee like she is with Sean. The rest of my family is having a great time in C-town.....Very JEALOUS!!! Hope everyone is having a great day!

New Soup

This may not be for J in E-town, too much dairy, but it really is tasty.
1/2 lb bacon, small onion chopped, 1/2 c shredded carrots, 1 stalk celery diced, 4 TBS butter divided, 2 cans chicken broth, 4 potatoes diced, 1/4 c flour 1/2 oz American Cheese cubed,
1-1/2 c milk, salt & pepper
Saute the bacon, drain when cooked, not crisp and set aside. Soften onion, carrots, celery in 1TBS butter. Add 2 cans chicken broth & potatoes, bring to boil and cook until potatoes are soft. Meanwhile cook butter and flour in another pan. Add to soup when potatoes are soft. Bring to boil and cook 2 minutes. Lower heat and add cheese and milk, stir until cheese melts. Serve and enjoy.
Have a great SAT, on my way out to cut bushes.
