Bonkers again.....

Sorry for the lack in replies, and here's to hoping my monitored comments on your blog sites are showing up. It appears my google has gone bonkers again and my posted comments aren't showing up on blogger or google plus , wish me luck today getting this back to Okie Dokie working condition!

In spite of my technical woes,  I finished the little wedding mini album I was working on.

For the mini book pages I used my Cricut Explore Air machine, love that machine and my Cameo. 

The cartridge was from my Close to your Heart... Artsie cartridge.... and Diana from DL.ART sells them on her site.  Love this cartridge.... I've had it for sometime now, just haven't had time to play around much with it.

Later on, I hope to get some cards made and I'll post the photos when finished. 

 I'm starting to work on my Holiday cards and excited to use my stamps and dies from Martha.....Funstampersjourney.com and also my winnings from Miss Rach on the Xmas digi bundle .....adorable, I might add.     

Today is a little cooler so I'll be able to tolerate my no Air conditioned crafty space, ....off I go now to get in some me time, enjoy your day.

Blessings and Hugs, Lori m

Mini getaways.....

anyone? Recently back from Saratoga Springs New York, and I might add it was just gorgeous.

 Unfortunately, we didn't see, all we wanted to,.... or master finding Waldo looking for all the springs lol. 

 We did see and find most of the ones, for health issues that we wanted to find and one of the reasons for the trip. After filling some jugs with spring water a quick jaunt off to Lake George for a bit. Love this lake and the walking was not as hard on a normal summer day.

 It was scorching high temperatures and humidity so back to the hotel and packing to come  home early. 

Breathing was uber hard the air was so thick, good indication that Florida or the Southern states would not be a good move for me.

Still one more beautiful place checked off my bucket list, and if you get the chance I'd strongly suggest seeing the sites, gorgeous views and plenty of quaint little shops to enjoy.

Now..... if the healing spring waters really work.......I'll be back for more spring water in the future.

That's all for today, blessings and hugs, Lori m

Turning 60...

not so bad!

 I decided to have a 60th Birthday Party with the Steampunk theme.  Although, we didn't get all the steampunk decorations and costume adornments finished in time, we had a blast.  Family and neighbors joined us to celebrate my big number event, I'm still sticking to being only 35, it's my choice don't ya know?

Here are a few pics of the happenings, I wish.... I could share all the photo's, so much talent on the outfits, I felt like we went back in time.

 A dear friend..... took all the photos for me so they came out amazing with faces and bodies rather than just fingers or noses. Below is Jack with the Birthday girl "me", oh that number on my hat saying 60, just pretend its not there. 

 

 Jack's steampunk tool holder 

 

Someone funny put this around on a table, sheeesh, funny people,  grinning! 

 

The pen below was made by one of my neighbors, I love anything pink and black so this was perfect.

 

Such a fun time, the costumes everyone made and wore were all amazing, and I now have a lifetime of memories.

 

 I'm so glad, I changed my mind and agreed to have a party. One of my neighbors gave me one of her handcrafted jewelry pieces that she makes, love it.

 

My daughter made the sign and my banner, plus these great Orbs to hang from the tent, due to the Birthday girl falling before the party, no set up, before guest photos, sorry.

 

Everyone had name tags with there Steampunk name and AKA real name below just in case the Birthday girl didn't get around to introduce everyone.

 

I made mason jars for everyone with their names, however, must remember chalk board vinyl markers on chalk board vinyl runs with moisture lol, good thing for the laminated name tags. 

 

So.... now that I'm in the 60's club, off  I go to rest up a bit, enjoy..Blessings and hugs to all, Lori m

 

PS: check out Design by Sandy's new Steampunk designs.....Fantastic!

Busy???

It seems that this time of the year, the days pass to quickly.  I've nothing new to post until next week when I'll have more to show.

I'm going to shut down my other Word Press blog soon, lack of time and  life getting in the way leads to not much blogging time. So this will become my main and only blog.

Stay well, blessings and hugs, Lori m
