I got the Mindy blues......

Having some inside fun with Prima and Mindy Lacefield.
It's 106 at 11:15 am.
remember when snow and cold would result in "indoor recess"?
that's what it feels like here - but not the cold and snow part......

I'm not really complaining, just amazed at it all.

more to come.....I have another one drying.

....and I don't mean the time.....

108 and rising!!!!!

june sketches and scraps

I've been crafting!  Here are the June Sketches and Scraps cards
As usual, the directions, with photos and step by step instructions are $8 and will be emailed to you.

I have a few kits of both sets:  Set A are the floral;  Set B are the red/white/blue.  All papers, including stamped images and embellishments are included.  You will need double sided tape, wet glue and foam tape (pop dots) to complete.
The kits are $8.50 each and will be mailed to you.  A photo of the finished cards will be emailed to you at this time.......(we had to get a new computer and our printer isn't working yet.)

Let me know if you are interested.

thanks for not giving up on me and this blog!

still here.....

yes, I'm still here.  lots of ideas and projects on my to-do play list.  just lost motivation!!
I'm not too worried though.  I just have to kick start myself.
Maybe putting down some gesso (clear) on tags and a few journal pages will help.  We shall see.

I also have two minis finished - well almost - why do I always get stuck on the covers????
Pictures are taken, too, just have to down load them so I can show you, along with directions!

Bought a few new supplies, too -  some Prima IOD molds, wax and Authentique papers.  Oh a White distress crayon, too.  Oh, well, it could be worse, I suppose........

And it's not even too hot to do anything yet!!

please keep checking back.  This post should get me in the groove.

Here they are!!  This could be the 18th year for our family at the Village!
