Happy Mother's Day

Well I hope all the moms out there had a nice Mother's Day. I was busy this morning making my mother-in-law a card for today. I wanted to do something special and this is what I came up with (card on left). I used a retired set called Toile Blossoms. I got the idea from several different cards and combined them. The DSP was in the last mini, Occasions. I got this gorgeous card from a friend of mine for my birthday and used a few of her ideas here too.

The tissue box I made for my physical therapist. She is getting married and moving to OK. I thought this would be something she could use at the wedding or in her new home. I love the way it turned out. The directions are on splitcoaststampers.com. I lifted ideas from several different boxes and came up with this. I used Shimmery White for the base.

Well I wanted to get this post out on Mother's Day. I'll have to get a picture of the birthday card and put her blog link on the site. She does beautiful work. Cyndy

Spring has arrived!

Well FINALLY! It's warm out, it's not raining all the time and I had time to work in the garden. My husband, John, has been helping and got about a third of it weeded and even planted some tomato plants and corn! Some of my asparagus came up. Maybe next year I'll be able to harvestsome. My rhubarb is really coming along well. Will be freezing a bunch of that this year.

Here are some pictures
of what I've been doing. I have some bird feeders outside my kitchen windows and Buddy enjoys watching them
eat. I'm sure he would love to be out there with them. The picture above is a box I made with the scallop envelope Bigz die. I made it for regional up in CT. I brought along some chocolate for us to nibble on while doing out projects. This fish picture is of our salt water tank. My daughter started it about a year ago and didn't stay on top of it so guess who has taken over. It is finally doing good and doesn't require the amount of work I initially had to do. It really pays to have the right equipment and stuff for the tank so it's not a whole lot of work. Well I hope to be posting again soon, but one never knows for sure! Cyndy
