Last week I was asked to teach a class on making cards to a group of stampers. They are the Heritage Hills Stampers, meeting once a month to make cards and have fun. They have a marvelous room in their Craft House (which also has rooms for sewing and painting, plus a thrift store!) stocked …

Sunday Chat In the Garden and the Kitchen
Well, summer is definitely here, the heat is miserable. But at least it is low humidity, around 44-50 %, which was nice for lunch outside with some of the guild gals on Thursday. As I spend time watering my pots and flower beds, I am delighted with the flowers coming into bloom now. The day …
Valentines for Safelight
We have extra funds for the Safelight project, so I put some to use this week to make Valentine gifts for the current residents of the shelter. They had 20 adults, so I made 22 gifts just in case they needed more by the time I could deliver them. I found some fun things to include. …

My Sweet Babboo managed to get the pole for the bird feeder straightened, but we didn't want to put the feeder back on it yet. Still, he wanted the birds to have some food available, so he rigged up a feeder to hang high off the ground from a tree limb. The birds found that …
Cards, Stashbusters and a BOM
Recently, my blogger friend Jeanie at Marmalade Gypsy and I were chatting on email and she made a comment in frustration that I thought was a brilliant idea. Christmas was so busy and was going by so fast. We both were lamenting that there was no time for cards when she said "I swear, next …

Sunday Chat
This week sure has had its ups and downs. The euphoria of the new recommendations for vaccinated people being able to resume normal activities inside and outside was long awaited, and wonderful. So we feel free to meet our vaccinated friends, and have a meal inside a restaurant. But the flip side is that there …
Some Valentine Ideas
Well, I cannot decide if it was bad news day or good news day yesterday. My dental appointment that I have dreaded for days was postponed due to snow. We didn't get any snow at our place, but apparently the area where my dentist lives did. So, all that anxiety will now be postponed to …
Stamping Christmas Cards
I've had so much fun stamping our Christmas cards this year. I got on a roll for a couple of days, and cranked out card after card. I have a lot of holiday theme stamps from several companies, but most of the cards this year were done with Impression Obsession stamps adding stickers and ribbons, …
Thanksgiving Cards
Stamping cards for Thanksgiving is an annual thing for me. My family would think that Thanksgiving hadn't come if they didn't get a card. I think I started a trend many years ago, as some have been sending them to me for a while now too. Of course, I love the process of making them, …
