Hi guys.
Wow, this is my third post in one day. If you missed Sundays with Cats you can check out my first post from today. Please be sure and check out my second post for the day which is a little something to honor all those on September 11, 2011. A day that none of us will ever forget.
I hope that you are all having a wonderful day so far. I am sorry to say it, but I have yet to hear from Ashlee my blog-a-versary candy winner. So as promised I got back out the list of commentors and we put them all back in a big bowl and drew out the next name. So without further ado...... Then winner of my $25 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm is Amanda!!! So just like before please send me an email and I will send you back the code for the $25 Greeting Farm Certificate. Thanks again everyone for leaving a comment. I can not wait to do this again. It is very fun to see all your comments and to get to know all of you. Have a great weekend.
Hugs, Lisa G

REMEMBERING 9-11-01
I just wanted to take a moment to remember all those that lost their lives and for all those that lost their loved ones that day. I will remember Sept. 11, 2001 forever. We are headed over to the monument that we have here in our little town. Then M&M's want to take some flowers over. We have gone over before to see it, and it is very strange because for some reason when you are standing there looking at it you feel the need to lay your hands on it. I also want to take a moment to say "Thank You" to all the Men and Women that are far from home keeping us all safe and giving us the FREEDOM that we live under.
Hugs, Lisa G
Sundays with Cats....
Good morning everyone. I hope that you are all having a great weekend. I can not believe just how fast time goes by. I guess it's just because I worked a half day Thursday, had Friday off and it always seems like "Wow" I have so much time. I am so going to get a lot done and have fun too. Then before you know it, it's Sunday morning. Really I don't mean to sound like a cry baby, I just can't believe how fast it all goes.
Ok, ok let me get to why you are here this morning. We are heading out for our long walk, so I will be quick and fill you in on our crazy cats.. Lucy is always my good girl and she really doesn't sweet the small stuff. She knows that both her water and food dish will be cleaned and refilled each and every morning by me. She knows that later each morning Jerry will feed the fish in both tanks and then she will get her treats for the day. lol.... Yes, she is a VERY spoiled house cat that we all love to pieces. Even when Lucy was a little kitten she would sit right at the edge of the front door while it was wide open and watch us bring in the grocery and never ever go out the door. Well, she is no different now. She watches for me to come home from work and for the kids to walk through that door everyday after school... All the while never stepping one paw outside.. Smart, Smart girl!
Sunday on the other hand is a somewhat crazy cat. Jerry insist that it has been too hot in the afternoons to leave her outside so he has been trying to bring her in and let her sleep on his lap. She has allowed this quit a few times, but always with growls and hisses. She just can't let herself settle for long. This Friday however Jerry tried once again to get her in and let her have a rest that didn't include her having to watch for things around her. Well this was the time that she decided to hiss, growl and finally scratch Jerry. It is very hard for him. He really loves her and he has finally come to the conclusion that he really doesn't know where she came from or what she has been through before she got here. He has finally decided to allow her to be the OUTSIDE cat that she chooses to be. She is happy outside and she is happy to be here. She is still following us on our walks, so this morning I will have to drive us around the corner and park so that we can walk further and not have to worry about this crasy black and white cat running behind. Yesterday when we went for our walk she was following us and at one point she actually hid beside a tree hoping that we wouldn't see her. lol... It really is funny and cute, but we all worry that she might get run over or run into a cat that has a meaner attitude than she does.
So, now that I have put you all back to sleep. lol... Let me get to my pictures that I have picked to share with you. This is some of Lucy in Mitchell's dresser drawer while Jerry is busy cleaning his room trying for the 100th time to find Mitchell's lost cell phone. (I won't go into that as it will just upset me again!) As you can see Lucy decided that it was a great place to take her nap.
Well guys, I hope that you all have a great Sunday. Talk at you tomorrow.
Hugs, Lisa, Lucy and Sunday too...

TGIF !!!
 |
| Amy Young's art work/card and my DD Madison's fun nail art. |
 |
| Hadn't cleaned up around the nails yet. Sorry! |
Hi guys.
I am off work today, but I still have to run the M&Ms to school. I then get to come home and spend a few hours with just me and my Hubby. Wow, I don't know how that works. lol... Just kidding, I can not wait for us to have a few minutes together. Usually the only time we have just the two of us is when we go grocery shopping. It's sad, but true. Don't get me wrong, you all know I love my babies and I love spending time with them. It's just fun to have time to laugh and talk with Jerry as two adults.
So, yesterday when I go home from work I had an awesome package in the mail. Yes, it was Amy's wonderful Sweet November Release candy and I was lucky enough to win not only Hilda & Vlad, but a card she made and omword, a ton of goodies to go along with it. I can not wait to have a few minutes to color and play.
I thought I would show you a picture of her great card. Thanks again Amy. I love it all. :O) I am sure you have all seen it, but Madison wanted me to show you all what I did last night for her. As you all know she loves for me to paint her nails and put designs on them. That is how I spent last night so that she could show all her friends as school. She loved how they turned out. I guess I am lucky, because at the age of 13 she is NOT into makeup.... She just loves to grow out her nails and have me paint them. Can't ask for more than that. lol
Have a great day everyone. Talk at you later.
Hugs, Lisa G

WINNER ! WINNER ! WINNER ! WINNER ! WINNER !
Hi guys!
I am so sorry to have made you all wait sooooooo long to find out who my Blog-a-versary candy winner is. I video taped my daughter and I cutting everyone's comments into strips and then folding them all up and putting them all in a HUGH bowl. We then shook them up and my Daugter picked the winner! We had so much fun and we were so surprised when the name came up. Then as I spent the next two hours trying to load it onto YouTube for you all to see I wasn't as excited as I was very irritated. lol.... I wish I could blame it on YouTube, but I am thinking it is more my computer than anything else. Sooooo without any fanfair or any more making you wait ........ Then Winner of an awesome $25 Greeting Farm Gift Certificate is Ashlee ! So Ashlee if you would email me I will send you the Gift Certificate numbers. If I don't hear from you before for Sunday Sept. 11th. I will have to draw a second winner.
Thank you everyone for all you sweet comments. It really means so much to me. I hope that you all have a great week. Hugs, Lisa G
Guess Who's 12...
Happy Halfway Day!!!
Hi guys. I am running so late this morning so for once when I say this is going to be quick it won't be a lie. lol....
My card today is one that I made for my oldest Niece's Birthday which was Saturday. She just turned 12 and I can not believe it. I wanted to give my stamp a more tweenager look, so I stamped up Amelia and gave her some of Piper's super cute skirt and leggings. lol... I then decided that this would be a perfect card for the 'By the Numbers' challenge over on the FFF blog. Of course like any good card making Aunt I didn't get her card sent off to her until after the fact. :O ( Sorry Kiela, but it is on it's way. Love you!
Ok guys, like I said super duper short. Talk at you all later.
Hugs, Lisa G

TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK...
That includes my Mom and Dad that I didn't get the chance to talk to this weekend. My phone was not being nice all weekend...
I hope you all had a great extended weekend. We didn't do much except enjoy the day off and take a shorter walk than we were planning as it was a whole lot cooler than any of us had anticipated. lol... We all felt that it was on the cool side, but it usually is when we leave. We didn't start to complain about it until we had walked about two miles from our house when we all admitted that we were all very COLD! It would have been funny if we had not all been so miserable. I tell you the last part of our walk went really fast as we headed home and didn't waist anytime getting there. Oh well, tonight we will give it a go after I get home from work.
So as you all know it's back to work for me and I am sure it is going to be a busy - crazy day so I will get right to my card. As you can see I have yet another 'Thank You' card today. This one hasn't been sent to the person yet, and she reads my blog so I won't go into details. Let's just say she was a sweetie and sent me something the other day that I just love and am hoping to share with you all at a later date.
As the mornings are getting much cooler and even though the next week is still suppose to be in the 90s during the days I thought that it was time to make Fall looking card. I had some new MME papers that for me just have that fun Fall like feel to them. Of course that meant that Harlow had to come out and play. She has that light weight jacket on and her stocking cap. I paper pieced her jacket and cap to give them both that knitted look. I had such a great time making this card. Harlow is one of my favorite Creeper Crew Stamps and I played around with her hair to accentuate her curly hair. lol...
Ok everyone have a great Tuesday. I will talk at you tomorrow and post the winner of my Two Year Blog-a-versary Candy.
Hugs, Lisa G
