get ready!!

Watch for Graphic 45 card classes coming next week.
I will be offering monthly card classes using the Graphic 45 Time to Flourish 8 x 8 pads.
You will also want some 4 x 5.5 blank white cards (I got mine at Michael"s).
You will have directions for 4 cards each month, pictures included.


Not a card maker?  I'm finishing up a journal/scrapbook design, too.  

I supply the directions, you supply the paper, adhesives and distress inks, which are optional.

I'm excited!!

news

I'm still here!

I am working on classes for you!  My work space is filled with projects both finished and still in progress.
I hope to have something posted here very soon.
Cards and books have been my focus for the past several days.

I also visited several booths at the Mineral, Gem, Fossil and Bead show here.   I will show you my purchases later this week.  It was lots of fun but very over whelming, especially the first day.

Keep watch here and if you want to spread the word about classes, I would really appreciate it.
back soon.

oops forgot the snow

We got some here in Tucson, too.

If you look way up to the top of the mountains, you should be able to see it!

For those who got more, I do hope it is your last big one of the year!
(unless you like it)

hearts, hugs and snow

If you know me well, then you know Valentine's Day is one of my favorites.
Here are a few of my creations so far.

I love to crochet but only have success in the round.  My rows are never even.

An Easel card using lots of Sizzix die cuts, stamps and distress ink.

Crackers filled with candy!  These were made using my WE R envelope maker and the small Martha Stewart score board!

rain

rain, rain, rain, rain.........
all day today and tomorrow.  rain, rain, rain, flooding rain.....
dark skies, fog rolling over.  the mountains have disappeared.
rain, rain, rain......different.
it's not cold.  it is just rain, rain, rain.....



anyone interested in some classes?

dancing in the sky

We live very close to an Air Force base, an International Airport, and a National Guard Base.
The night sky has been filled with Fighter Jets.
At dusk it was very difficult to see them but there is no doubt they are up there, the sound gives them away.
As the sky darkens you begin to see them, the lights of white, green and red flying through the dark sky, against the stars and moon.  They zoom at incredible speeds and the sounds they leave behind are earth shaking.

We have not seen them before at night,as least for the hours they have been there tonight.
Are they dancing in the night, getting ready for the Superbowl?  Practicing their moves, dips and turns?

We have been warned that they will be practicing their "Interception" flight plans tomorrow.  Maybe they are getting an early start tonight.

It may be 10 minutes "as the fighter jet flies" from here to Phoenix!

They are beautiful against both the bright blue skies of day and the dark, star lit skies of night.  I never thought I would think that Fighter Jets could be so breath taking.........

fun times

things I have been doing......

I started off the new year with some cards using distress inks and dies.

This sweater is perfect for the weather here, but it had a logo so I used a die and some fabric to cover it up.  I wore it all day yesterday.  It's perfect and a little vintage.   It is a Stephanie Ackerman flower die.

a gift for my daughter.  

some new things for me.

 and a little matchbox waiting for something to go inside.

Little by little I am creating again.

back!

I never meant to be away so long.  I can't even say what happened.
Nothing happened, really.  I just got lazy and started procrastinating.  Oh I will do that in a little bit.  Oh, I will get to that.  Oh, I will write tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow........

I have some pictures to load and then i will be back.  Sooner than later.

late.....

I am just going to say two things........
love the wendi vecchi embossing powders/enamels.  they are so thick and shiny.
love Tucson:  sorry to all my friends back home but it is still 73 degrees at 5:30pm, a duplicate of yesterday!

I promised myself I would not talk about the weather, especially the "winter" weather so that won't happen too often.

more will follow.....I have pictures to show and a couple of projects in the making.  Lately I have been starting but not completing.  Hopefully, that will change!

going outside now to soak up the sunset!
