Saturday, Weekend Fun, Lets go Trucking

 It is Saturday, and it is early morning.

I am happy weather is cool and low humidity.

The pass week you can see the wind changing and signs of fall.  

I have been stamping and coloring.  Like I have said before, I do cards in steps, not all in one sitting.


Love this stamp set.  The punch will not be back till October 2023...but that is OK, the stamp set alone is available and is so much fun.

Found in online exclusives, not in paper catalog.


This is a 2 step stamp set.  Stamp outline with one stamp, than stap coloring with another stamp.  I had a hard time lining up the truck and the coloring stamp....but it was me and my goofy eyes.  I am going to color other trucks by hand.


Yum-Yum stopped by to help.

Summer Passing Quickly and organizing

 


Yikes, summer is going by so quickly.

I am creating cards but mostly enjoying the flowers, the sun and butterflies.  Last summer, 2022, I had eye issues, 2021 spent summer by Aunt who fell and broke jaw. 2020, summer of Covid, husband forced to early retirement.... summers before same old thing, not enjoying.

What I am getting at is enjoying the days.  I am not inside when it is lovely out.

Saturday and Sunny, Beautiful in Michigan.

 I was up early. I wanted to get to Farmers Market. I can not believe it is August 5 and the summer I flying by.  Just think in three months we could have snow on the ground.  My dear Dad would always say this...I miss him dearly, he passed in 2004, almost 20 years ago.... The Farmers Market brings memories of my Dad, he would go almost every Saturday when he was not working, or go after work.  He taught me the importance of fruit and veggies.

My main goal was to get tomatoes.  Nothing like home grown, Michigan Fresh tomatoes.

I made this card for someone recovering from a tick bite.  I have been praying for him daily.  He is on week three of getting back to normal andenjoying life.  He must travel weekly to get treatments, that in it self is no easy feat.   

It is created with blueberry bushel card base, than the layer of 4" by 5-1/4" Paper on top.  The paper is now retired.  Things come and go quickly in Stampin' Up! .  I stress it often, see something you like, order quickly, cause it will be gone soon.  I, like you, get discouraged to order so quickly but understand. New items must keep coming to keep interest and make more sales.

I have the mini catalog and I can pre-order now, all can order in September 1. Many demonstrators have even ordered and got there order already.  Yes, they pay premium price for shipping but they share the joy of all the new offerings and show the extra perk of being a demonstrator.  Plus they get 20 to 25 percent off order plus extra ordering perks. 

Join my team and you, too can get the perks.  You just join to be a hobby demonstrator  and it is a gift to yourself and others who get your lovely cards and paper crafts.

Organizing Dies

 Like many, many viruses are flying around.  I am not feeling good.  No, not Covid, just a cold.  Sadly, to many I know have been ill.   I a...
