Burr....

Staying warm???  I hope this finds everyone someplace nice and toasty.  We've gone from nice high 50's to single digits once again.  How is it... that I so enjoyed playing in the winter as a child?

It is very pretty seeing the white snow flakes and glitter from ice, however, at this point is my life, my pretty winter photos are enough to last me a lifetime.

Now, this is what I'm looking forward to seeing.  I do believe, I've become a Spring and Fall kind of gal.... rather than my old Winter, Summer person. Getting older perhaps made the difference.

That's about all for now. Going to try and get to the craft area today for a little crafting if possible.

FYI....I hope everyone is seeing my thank you comments in email, for some reason they aren't always showing up here.  Technology is not my friend lately, I'm going to blame it on the weather haaaahaaa!

Enjoy, stay warm, stay healthy, blessings and hugs, Lori m 

 

Cards be me....

I tried my hand at stamping a little bit. Ordered a few special card sets and stamps from CTMH awhile back. Finally, enjoyed using a few and can't wait to try out the rest.

Always good to have a few manual items on hand for power outages or just because.

Here's what I pulled together using the easy card design set "Cut Above Card Kit - Golden Moments," it came all embellished, add the sentiment and be amazed. Pretty to a whole new level!

You can find this card and many more items over at ......

CTMH Diana Larson's site.

For more ideas and DT projects.... gander a visit over and check out Diana's blog.

For today....that's all folks.  Stay warm, healthy, and safe. 

Blessings Lori m

Sometimes....

life doesn't go as planned, Recon is no longer with us, however will be the Service Dog he was meant to be only for another gentleman.

So, after dealing with my blues, I put my big girl panties on, was able to make a few cards with the prize from Kris, over at Imaginethatdigistamp.

Sorry for the long delay Kris, more things to follow, ;).

Nothing to fancy here, I think the colored digi's stand out much better on there own with my simple cards.

Well, the adorable little buggies are here!! 

Why, I think, I've gone Buggy just coming up with new ideas to use these adorable stamps. Check them out, and all the other pretty digi's in the store, you won't be disappointed and I see some sales going on too.

Going Buggy!

Before mailing them out, I'm sure I'll add some pretty glitter to them, for now, the cuteness speaks for itself. Go ahead....laugh....smile... I know you want to.  

The Sizzix embossing plates I've had for many years and finally decided to pull out some of my hidden treasures lol.

Off I go for now, my sitting limit for the day has been reached. Enjoy, stay safe and stay healthy.  Prayers for everyone in the disaster ridden states and countries.

Blessings, Lori m

PS: Spell check and grammar ignored in today's post. ;)

A long....

hard decision led us to bring a new member into our family. Rambo needed a brother, so please welcome Recon!

Picture to follow at a later time.


Crafting will be a little slow again due to the training of both boys, I'll be posting a few things each week.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Blessings and hugs, Lori m
           

Oh...how excited ...

I was chosen for the Cherry on Top Awardee over at Imaginethatdigistamp. Oh my can you see me jumping up and down singing songs?

Huge thanks to Kris, and to Sherry for choosing my vase and card. Woot, woot, thank you all again, your the best.

What a great way to enjoy a Saturday!

Blessings and hugs, Lori m

Blogging verses....

Facebook! Please scroll down for the title post.

Before reading my little updated ditty note, here's a few things I've been up to lately.

Missing crafting, and loving all the new designs and machines coming out, I've decided to give mine a whirl once again.

Many thank you's to Kristy ( Imaginethatdigistamps) for her lovely colored in graphics. Adorable and for this Older Gal....easier on my hands and time limits.

 _____________________________________________________



I tried once again to adapt to Facebook in a robotic sort of way. Thinking, I could read, join in the fun and not get caught up in the many spews and battles projected by some people.

Which brings me back to it's just not a social media outlet for this lady. Seeing and keeping in touch with family and friends.... truly amazing, and will be missed.

Yet on the other hand, I'm one of those folks compelled to sign up for everything with the illusion... "I'll be an Einstein and learn all of my passions".. at once. Realizing now, an Einstein I"m not, and limitations I do have, so it's back to blogging for this gal.

Before deleting my Facebook account... I did post a note with Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, however, I'm guessing, it went poof once I hit that magic delete button lol.

So please, I love all of you and didn't block or befriended anyone, blogging is just more of my thing, with the addition of a little Pinterest at times!

Merry Christmas early, to all and Happy Healthy Holidays to everyone!

Blessings and hugs, Lori m

A few new things....

quick hello and a few things I managed to get made lately.

 

The adorable little mouse pumpkin card is a design by Imagine that digis by Kris.

So this is the few things I've been making, enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m
