WE NEED TO CATCH UP ON A LATTE...

Mitchell's Ad.

Madison's Ad.

Lucy had to help with the Cricut Machine while Madison was cutting out Mitchell's letters for his ad. 

Good morning all. 
 First I want to wish my Mom and Dad a very HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!  Today is their 49th Anniversary and I think that deserves a big round of applause.  Love you Mom and Dad and I hope you have a wonderful day. 
Ok, I am going to make this a quick post as I am just lacking the energy for anything else today.  :O) Last night after work I came home and both Mitchell and Madison needed help with making a flier type advertisement for the books that they are reading in English class.  As you can guess that didn't leave me much time to be creative.  So I thought that I would share with you my VERY simple card that I kind of made. I am NOT at all happy with how it came out and I am so going to make a different one once I have five minutes.  However I really didn't want to just put up another picture of Lucy.  So here is my card for the day.  I also included some pictures of the kids' project that we came up with together.  Both came up with how they wanted it to look and then I helped them to put it together.  It really was fun to work on them, but I am so missing the chance to just sit down and color.  I have gotten a few packages in the mail this week and one of them has some new stamps from The Greeting Farm.  I haven't even cut them out yet.  Can you imagine?  lol... I know! 
Ok guys,  I am off for another day of fun.  Have a super day and I will talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs,  Lisa G

NO CARD WEDNESDAY...

This is under my desk and I keep my headphone there so that I can listen to my Glee when I am crafting without bothering Jerry's TV time.  Notice the trash can and the stamps on my shelf?  This is my storage unit as well.

Poor Lucy can't get away from the camera even when she tucked away.  Usually she is on my desk somewhere in my way.  I didn't even know she was there. 

Good morning everyone. 
I am sad to say that I don't have a card, a tag or even a little book marker to share with you today.  Even though I have a busy work week I still have to come home and go grocery shopping and help both of the M&Ms with their last BIG project for the year.  As you can see that didn't leave much ME time last night for me to get anything done.  :O(   I am hope that after work today I can at least get my friend's card done.  I mean come on it's just a little stamp (already colored) and all I have to do is pick out some paper to use on it and it should be done.  lol.... I guess we'll see.  
Well, I did manage to catch a couple of snap shots of Lucy last night before we all headed to bed.  I was just getting ready to shut down my computer when I looked down and there she was sitting on my computer tower.  As you can see she was sleeping until I started to take her picture then she gave me the "Oh please just let me sleep" look of hers.  lol...
Ok, I better get to it.  I hope you all have an awesome day.  Talk to you later.
Hugs,  Lisa G

MFT STAMPS...

Good morning all.
I don't really have a card for you this morning.  I didn't get home from work until after 7pm last night, so I only got as far as coloring up a new stamp that I purchased from My Favorite Things.  It is cling mount stamp by The a'la modes called "Miss You a Latte".  I purchased it to send my friend that I don't get to see very much anymore a card.  We used to try to have a Latte at least once a week after work, but she has gone away to go to college, so I miss her and our chats quite a lot.  lol... 
Anyway,  I did get it stamped (I thought it would be a bigger stamp) and colored. Just didn't get done with the card before I headed to bed last night.   I didn't realize that I was spoiled by all my Greeting Farm stamps.  When you purchase them you get a big stamp to play with.  Don't get me wrong,  this is a cute stamp and I really like it.  I would have just liked there to be a little bit more of it to color.  lol 
Well,  I had better get a movin this morning.  Just wanted to share something with you. 
Have a wonderful day and I will try and talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs, Lisa G

MY FAVORITE THING....

Good morning all. 
I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  We were so busy on Saturday and the sun was shining and hot!  We were able to get everything done.  My Mom and Dad came over and helped out a lot.  Thanks Mom and Dad.  lol...However the M&M's and Jerry were all so sick yesterday.  I really think it was the heat and that they didn't get enough water.   I am pleased to say that everyone is up and running this morning.   So hopefully it's going to be a great day.  :O)
I have a super super busy week at work so I am going to get right to it.  I was playing around with my new Oliver and Amelia stamps and I had such a great time coloring up little Oliver.  He is just soooo sweet with his tussled hair and I love, love his fish bowl.  You can't see it in my pictures, but I used glossy accents on the bowl and it turned out so cute!  I then pulled out some of the latest MME papers from the 'fine and dandy' set called true blue.  I love these papers.  Great for little boy cards and such. 
Ok guys,  I hope you all have a great day and I will talk at you tomorrow. Wish me luck this week.  I am pulling six full days and I have to admit that it's been a few months since I've done that, so maybe you should be wishing Jerry and the M&M's luck.  lol...  Kidding really!
Hugs, Lisa G

SUNDAYS WITH LUCY...

Good morning everyone. 
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  We had a great Sunny and very hot (82 degrees) day yesterday, so we were able to spend most of the day working on our backyard and the pool... I just love the feeling you get when you are able to get a project done just like you pictured it.  lol...
So, I know that I put up a video of Lucy on Friday however she has been up to a lot this weekend so I felt the need to share her again.   I'm not sure if you remember that she has her own DVD player (it broke on us a long time ago) and she loves to play with the part that comes out when you hit the open key on the remote.  Well,  on Thursday when Madison and her friend were trying to record a commercial for school Madison ran into the DVD player and broke it.  So yesterday evening Jerry sat down on the floor and took it apart so that he could fix it for her.  As you can see Lucy felt the need to make sure that he was doing the job right.  lol...  She is so funny as she sat there an watched him until he plugged it in again and it worked.  Crazy cat!
Ok guys,  I did get all 35 invitations done so I am going to try to get some other cards made today until my friend comes over and I help her make boards to take with her to Tim McGraw's concert that she is headed to in mid June. 
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Hugs,  Lisa G

FRIDAY WITH LUCY, COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER...

Good morning everyone.  I hope that your Friday is off to a great start.  I am off this weekend, and I have so many things to do that I decided to share our Lucy with you a couple of days early.  I have 35 bridal shower invitations to make for my cousin and we are going to work on the back yard all weekend so I decided to post this today so that you could see what this silly cat has been up to.  Mind you this was film Monday night and Lucy decided that she had no problem letting Jerry drag her around our living room.  I hope you get as big of  kick out of her as we do.
Ok guys I am out of here for today. I hope you all have a great weekend and I will talk at you Monday. 

Hugs,  Lisa G

SWEET...

Good morning everyone. 
I am heading to work for my half day and I am sooooo happy that I finally have my computer again.  Our computer company has been having problems off and on (more ON) since Saturday.  The only reason that my post was up and running Tuesday was because I had scheduled it Monday night before I went to bed.  Grrrrr!  I really hate paying for  Internet and then not being able to use it.  Yes, I am aware that they do a great job and I shouldn't complain but Grrrr!  I really hate it when my computer isn't working.  lol...
Ok, I will quite complaining and get to today's card.   I had so much fun last month being  The Greeting Farm - Farm Fresh Face on the challenge blog and Casing cards that I thought that I would use this sketch that I have had on my computer for quite sometime now.   I wish I could remember were I found it, and I did know who it was by.  However, I seem to have deleted it from my computer once I made this card.   I swear I don't know where my brain is sometimes.   lol...  So, if this was your sketch I am truly truly sorry for not knowing your name  to give you full credit for it.  It is a great sketch and I just loved the simple yet awesomeness of it.  I also decided that as I did not have the pearls or gems that I wanted to use with my card I would put my Stickles ( I have a ton of them) to use and make them work as my bling on this one.  Of course I grabbed Cheeky Beach and her beach ball.  She just adds such fun to any card. All in all I am very pleased with how it turned out.
Alrighty,  I better get a move on.  Have a great day and I will talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs,  Lisa G
