Flower Wave

I participated in a virtual crop last weekend. Oh what fun! It was great to see people I have crafted with in the past, and through the wonders of Zoom, it almost felt like we were crafting together.

Is there anything prettier than a jar of flowers cut fresh from your garden? It’s summer and the flowers are blooming. Love it!!

Missing My Boy

My son turned 30 yesterday. Yikes!! He hasn’t been a boy for a while, he is a man, but as a Mother, he is my first born, so he will always be my boy. I’m just glad I made the decision when I had kids that since they would be getting older, I no longer need to!!!!

Good Friends

A good friend is truly a gift. I have a number of really good friends, and I am grateful for each and every one of them. They enrich my life, make the tough times easier, and the good times fantastic. I am simply thankful for them.

Summertime

In the last week or so, we have gone from late winter chilly weather, to mid-summer hot. It has been a crazy turnaround in temperature. Today it was 32 degrees!! The heat has made all the leaves burst open, and more flowers are blooming every day. I couldn’t help but make a summertime card for my post today.

Healing Vibes

Last night a group of us got together to Craft and Chatter. It was great fun to get together apart, using Zoom. With our new physical distancing in place it is really nice to stay connected with other crafters, and this was a great way to do it.

Hello Sunshine

The weather has been rather cold here recently, but thankfully most days have been bright and sunny. Sara Douglass our Stampin’ Up!
