JUST PLAYING AROUND...

Surprise! 
     I actually have a card to share today.  I know I said I wouldn't have much to share due to the M&Ms going back to school this morning, but as we all had everything ready to go last night I decided to finish up this little one that I have been playing around with for the last two days.  
     I don't know if any of you caught a glimpse of  the awesome card that Carisa over on the Greeting Farm blog colored last Monday, but if you didn't you need to check it out and then give it a try.  She came across the idea of coloring a stamped image withOUT the black lines.  Yes, you read me right.  It is NOT a typo... I really have to tell you that her card is just beautiful!  If you didn't see it you HAVE to check it out here.  Don't you think that it looks like she painted it?   I just love it, so I had to give it a try. 
     I used the new and very Sweet Amelia from the OA-Surprise set.  I just love her hair!  My card is in no way as good as Carisa's, but I am going to keep practicing as it was super fun to give it a go.  Anyway I think she came out ok, but I went over her eyes with my Sepia Multi Liner and I really wish I hadn't.  Oh well, I will try something else for the eyes next time.   lol....   This card is more for the practice of the technique and not to actually give to someone, so I am ok with it for now.  : D
     I hope that you are all having a great week so far.  It if already Wednesday and I for one am so looking forward to being off come Monday.  Yes!   Talk at you all tomorrow as I am sure there will be much to share what with today being the first day of Eight grade.
     Thanks for stopping by and "Hello" to my newest followers.
Hugs, Lisa G

HAPPY MAIL...

Hi guys. 
     I just wanted to drop in and share some happy mail that I received today.  Last week I was VERY lucky and won some candy from the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog.  Mind you I must have been really excited as I was thinking that I was going to get just one of her awesome stamps.  Well,  as you can see I actually won all three of her newest Halloween Stamps.  Yay me!  :O)   Can you see my huge grin?  I am GRINNIN!  I really want to thank Kraftin' Kimmies for such a wonderful surprise this evening.  I think they are soooo cute and just as soon as we get settled into this school year I am so going to start playing with my new stamps.  lol... Wish me luck!  
     I don't think I will get my card that I am currently working on done until Wednesday, so let me thank you all for coming by.  I am hoping to get up a brand new card and Madison's 'Back to School' nails that she wants me to paint for her.  So, until then let me just give my newest followers a warm Welcome.  I also want to thank all of you for all your sweet comments.  I love reading them and can't wait to get to it just as soon as I am home from work. 
     Have a great day everyone.  Talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs, Lisa G

SUNDAYS WITH TWO CRAZY CATS....

Lucy imitating my Dad's one eye "Why are you bothering me?" look.  Sorry Dad... lol...

She finally tucked under her paw and went back to sleep.

Sunday on her Daddy's lap.  Isn't he have some cute legs?  lol..

Good morning everyone. 
     I've been told that it can't just be Sundays with Lucy as our newest family member has something to say as well.  So,  I am working on a new Sunday post title...  Any suggestions?  :O) 
     So, we started our morning off by taking our longest walk so far.  We all have these pedometers that we put on our belts, but they measure steps and not miles.  We are going to see about getting one that tells us how far we have gone.  It just really makes it more interesting for us all to know how far we have walked.
     Well like I said this is suppose to be about the two crazy cats that we live with. When we got home Lucy must have really worn herself out by waiting for us to come back home as she jumped on my black wing back chair and this is how she looked.  lol.... "Please No Pictures!"  lol...   I just know that is what she was saying.  We just love this cat.  Once I started to take her picture she opened one of her eyes to give me this look that so reminds me of my Dad.  When I was growing up he could fall asleep standing on the stairs.  At one point in my life my Dad went to night school, worked full time at his Dad's construction company and then worked at a gas station on the weekends.  He also had a paper route at the same time and he would be up and out of the house by 4am.  I would try so hard to get up with him and go on his route.  Most times we I did go with him I would end up waking up about 10 minutes before it was all over.  I do however remember the wonderful sun coming up and the birds chirping while everyone else was tucked in their beds.  I can still remember the wonderful smells and sounds.  Maybe that's why I love to see the sun come up.  :O) 
    Ok I will get back on topic, which leads us to Sunday.   Yes, you are looking at her in my house.  She is sitting on her Daddy's lap while watching Lucy lay on the flour. I have to tell you that my Lucy is so good however.  She never hisses or growls at Sunday.  She just lays on the floor facing Sunday just in case.  Sunday on the other hand always makes sure she has a clear route to the front door and she will eventually get down and head to the door.  She is pretty good too, but from time to time she will still growl at Lucy from the comfort of her Daddy. 
     Well guys,  I so need to go take a shower.  Get some of this crime from our walk off of me.  I love to walk and I don't even mind the sweating part anymore,  but once I am done I am ready to hit the shower.  Hope you all have a great day.  Talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs, Lisa G

SURPRISE !

Good morning everyone.  
      I thought that I would post a card that I was playing with all week long. lol...  This is just a random card that I made for two reasons.  The first because my friend Amy Young has been really putting out some great videos on how she colors with her Copic Markers.  Two of them were on how she colors her Mermaids.  That got me to thinking that I needed to have Cordelia, from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and then it  made me want to color her up as well.  The second reason is because I don't usually have a post for Saturdays, and my poor Mom really hates that as she likes to check my blog everyday to see what I have made.  Thank You Mom,  this is for you.  :O) 
      We are heading out once again to start our walk, but we have to be back long before 8:30am so that I can watch Ree's show on the Food Network.  I am over halfway through her book and I can not wait to see her new show.  I think it is going to be a very good one. lol... 
       So, that all for me today.  I didn't even make a list of the supplies that I used as I was just having fun trying out new ideas on this one.   I did however use some of the awesome Viva Perlen Transparent pen to make little bubbles heading to the surface while she visited with her good friend. 
      I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. 
Hugs, Lisa G

YOU GET A GOLD STAR !

Good Friday morning to ya! 
      So sorry to be missing yesterday, but instead of my half day my boss let me take the whole day as a vacation day so that we could go and get the M&M's school shopping done before everyone else in town hit the stores.  :O)  Huge smile over here.  We all got up at 5:30am and hit the road for our morning walk.  Jerry decided not to feed Sunday until we were just getting ready to leave and that seemed to keep her from following us.  Because I had the extra time we were able to get in another long walk.  That really makes my whole day.  We were back home and ready to go shopping by 8am when most of the stores in this smallish town are just opening.  It was so nice to actually be the first shoppers over at Staples.  On Tuesday after we had registered the kids for school we tried to go there for their supplies and you could barely turn around in that huge store, so we just left.  I am glad that we did it all today.  It was an awesome day and of course we surprised them both with the news that I was home for the whole day and we were going to get this all done and still have the afternoon to play and go swimming.   As you all know I love days like that. 
     Now as I did have the whole day I had time to make a new sign for our store.  After all the fair was last week and you can't have a sign that says it's fair week still up.  lol... We decided that it would be a great idea to go with the whole back to school theme,  so I pulled out Teacher Anya and boy did I have a great time enlarging her and giving her an old time black board to write on with that wonderfully dusty chalk.  I pulled some of  last year's show&tell 4x6 paper pack from WeR Memory Keepers out of my stash to help it look like she had decorated her classroom for her new students and to pull the colors for her outfit.   I am very happy with how this turned out.  It measures 12x12 and I think it will really look great on our display at work.  lol....
     That's all for me today.  I hope that you all have a wonderful Friday and I will talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs, Lisa G

A GREAT BOOK DESERVES IT'S OWN BOOK MARKER...

 Good morning friends.
     Well here we are already at the halfway point in this week.  I don't have to be to work until 9am today, so we are getting ready to head out on our walk with our brand new shoes.  lol...  I just have to mention just one more time how happy I am to have my kids excited with all this exercise and the results that they are seeing from their hard work.   We headed over and got them registered for their 8th grade classes yesterday and Madison was just so happy to be getting back to the grind that she won't shut up about it.  Mitchell on the other hand tends to get nervous about everything, so he is ready to tape her mouth shut just so he doesn't have to hear anything about school until next Wednesday when we get him up to take his shower.. lol... Poor kid.  :O) 
     So, as most of you have realized by now when I find something that interests me I kind of go overboard finding out everything I can about it.  Hense all the Copic markers,  my growing collection of Greeting Farms stamps and my latest obsession with Tim McGraw songs and just about anything cowboy.  lol...  I think you get the point. 
     So  that brings me to my post for today.  Last week I was on my break at work and I had forgotten to bring my book to read.  I picked up Woman's Day  in the lobby and thumbed through it.  While I was doing so I came across a story by Ree Drummond that she had written about how she had met her husband.  Ree has been blogging since 2006 so of course once I got home I had to head over and check her out.  (Just click here)  Then I found out that the book was already in print (it was a magazine from February of this year) so of course the next day on my lunch break I had to head over to Hastings to purchase it.  Then the next thing I know it is Sunday and we were watching the 'Food Truck Road Race' on the Food Network when all of a sudden there Ree is.  She is going to be hosting her own show this coming Saturday about her life on a cattle ranch in the middle of Oklahoma.  I won't give away anymore details  in case you want to check out her book, except to say she calls her hubby the Marlboro Man.  lol.. 
     This is a great book even though I have only had a total of 40 minutes to read I am totally hooked.  So, getting back to my post.  As you know the M&Ms and I all like to make a new bookmarker for each and every book we read so I decided that I would use Cheeky Shooter for this one and give her some red hair to look a little like Ree.  Silly I know, but I just couldn't help myself.  This book is fantastic and I can't recomend it enough.   
     Ok guys, I am off to take a walk with the family.  I hope that you all have a wonderful day and I will talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs, Lisa G

CELEBRATE YOU...

Good morning all.
    I sure hope that you had a wonderful Monday.  I for one didn't actually get to sit down in my house until well after 9pm last night.  Once I got home from work we wisked the M&Ms off to get haircuts and then we headed to Big5 where we purchased 4 pairs of new running shoes.  I can not tell how fun that was.  We ended up getting the nicest guy that waited on us.  Poor thing ran himself ragged bringing us different pairs of shoes.  I know it is his job, but I can honestly tell you that everyother time we have ever been there we have not been treated very good and this guy was over the top fantastic!  I think he needs to be noticed for being such a sweetheart.  lol...  Anyway, I can not tell you the last time I bought myself a pair of running shoes.  Usually we just purchase the kids theirs for school and Jerry and I tend to just suck it up until ours wear completely out. 
     Ok, I am running behind as you might have noticed so I will get to it.  I really wanted to make a card with my newest Ian from The Greeting Farm.  He is just so cute and there are so many ways you can use him.  I used my awesome friend Amy Young's baby wipe technique to take off his present and then he looks like he is hanging a banner for someone special.  While I was playing around with Ian I decided that this would be a great card to use some of my newest BG buttons on and then I could enter him into the FFF 'Button it Up' challenge over at the Farm Fresh Challenge blog.  So I hope you guys like him.  Ian was so fun to color and I even used some glossy accents to make his banner pop. 
     I also want to welcome Alex as one of my newest followers.  I am glad that joined my blog and that you are enjoying my idea of how to color The Greeting Farm stamps. lol...  Thanks everyone for not running screaming when I go on and on about the M&Ms and the cats.  You are all very sweet and I always look forward to reading all the wonderful comments that you leave for me.  Have a great day everyone.  Talk at you tomorrow.
Hugs,  Lisa G

This is one of the two flowers that Sharon
made and sent to me.  Isn't it great?

Good morning.
     It is already Monday.  Can you believe it?  I for one want to know where all the time has gone.  Omword.  lol....  I want to welcome some new followers to my blog.  Hi Ambrella, Sharon, Sarah Moura and Ashlee.  Welcome to my blog.  Thanks so much for becoming a follower and for the nice comments  :O)   As you all know I love reading everyone's comments and I so appreciate them all.
    Now,  I just have tell you a little something about our weekend before I get to today's card.  As you  all probably know by now we are trying to take walks at least five days a week.  Well this weekend we went on a walk both Saturday and Sunday.  Or I should say we tried to.   heehee  What that means is that each morning we get up early and feed both Lucy (inside of course, this is her house and she NEVER goes outside. lol...) and Sunday (on the front porch).  They both get some loving from us all then we head out depending on who picks where we go that day.  So, Saturday we decided so head up a totally different way and we had walked about two blocks when Madison hears a "meow" and turns to see that Sunday had followed us.  We ended up having to go home again and try all over again only to have her follow us once more.   We let her come, but as we wanted to go on a longer walk we sent her home only to have her head right back.  Needless to say our Saturday walk was cut short by about a mile after all was said and done.   When we started out yesterday she tried the same thing.  We had gotten over 3 blocks away when sure enough there she is.  Finally we ended up taking her back to the house and with a lot of complaining on my part, (Jerry didn't like my idea) all four of us had to pile in the car and drive over two blocks only to park the car and get out and start our walk.  It was a wonderful walk however.  We were able to walk to downtown and head all the way over to the M&M's Junior High and then head back.  Jerry stopped and picked up the car while the kids and I headed back home to be greeted by Sunday sitting on the front porch all happy to see us again.   I do have to admit that I am going to be sad with school starting as we will have to figure out how we are going to get our walks in without having to get up in the dark and walk at 4am. 
If anyone has a suggestion on how you walk or exercise during the winter months with a busy schedule I would love to hear it.  :O)   It has made such a difference to all four of us just to get this exercise I just don't want to loose it for any of us. 
     Ok guys, if your still here I "thank you".  I am sorry for going on.  When I was junior in High School I had good friend that was a football player and he asked me one day why I always talked in paragraphs.  lol.... Well I didn't quit know what his problem was, but as I am much older now I get it.  I am even ok with it as I don't like to talk on the phone much, but YES... I will talk your ear off in person.  Ok, ok back to my card.   While I was working on some Birthday cards for friends and family I decided that I wanted to make Jerry a simple card and of course I had to use Samantha from Krafin Kimmie Stamps.  She is just so cute and I look nothing like her,  but to Jerry I do so I knew he would appreciate her.  :O)   Anyway as I was making my card I got to looking in my drawer for the perfect accents to put with her and I knew right about that I had to use these beautiful flowers that Sharon the 'Night Owl Scrapper' or as I first met her 'SMSCRAPPER' on YouTube had made and given to me this last Christmas.  Yes, I have been hoarding them as they are so pretty.  I just felt however that they went so well here because of the fancy feathers and golden beads along with the buttons.  I just love them!  Thanks again Sharon. 
     Alright guys,  I will let you go.  I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.  Mine is going to be a busy one.  I have two kids that need haircuts and clothes so after work we need to head out and take care of that so that when we head over for registration on Tuesday they can show off their slimmer bodies and new hair styles in their pictures that will be in this years yearbook.  Wish me luck and a ton of patience for Jerry.  lol...
Hugs, Lisa  G

SUNDAYS WITH LUCY AND SUNDAY...

I can't get my computer to fix her eyes.  I sure hate that, but it is a cute picuture of her face and what she is thinkg. lol...

Lucy's little yellow hairband in front of the box was her next excitement. 

Good morning all.
     I am not sure what I am doing up at 3:26am, but for some reason I am just not tired and we need to get back up at 5:30am to start our walk so I have decided that I might as well just stay up and get a start to this wonderful day. 
     I hope that you are all having a great weekend so far.  We have had some fantastic weather in the 90s once again so the kiddos have been swimming.  This next week is suppose to be more of the hot temps, so I am hoping they can spend as much time as they want to in the pool before they head back to school next Wednesday. 
     So, today I just have a quick post for you.  We still have Sunday with us.  Her new Daddy brings her is once a day to hold and let her have a rest from the heat.  She will sit with him for about 15 minutes and then she jumps off and head right for the door.  ( I love her, but this is Lucy's house and I don't completely trust Sunday yet.) The whole time this is going on Lucy will just be laying on the carpet without a care in the world. lol... She knows who's house this is, and I guess she just isn't worried about it.  That includes the couple of times that Sunday hissed at her.  Lucy just looked at her like 'Whatever!'  lol....
     Anyway, these pics of Lucy are from when I had received my SCACD order of some 6x6 paper pads that fit in the box just perfect.  As you can see Lucy thinks she is still that slim little kitten that she was when I brought her home.  I'm not sure, but I don't think she appriciated my picture taking.  I guess it could have been all the laughs from the M&Ms and Jerry and I.   I'm just not sure. lol..
     Ok guys, have a great Sunday and I will talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs,   Lisa G

ROUND UP TIME...

I had to have the female animals wear  blush so they would look good for the Fair.  lol...

Ian of course was Tough Enough to Wear Pink.

Even Anya is tough enough.

Notice the bull has a friend.  Isn't she a sweet little cow?  lol

Hi everyone. 
     I hope that you are all having a great start to your weekend.  We finally got back from our walk and it is just gorgeous outside.  It is however suppose to get up in the 90s today so I am sure glad that we headed out early.
     So as I promised I wanted to share with you all yet another sign I made for work.  Because it is fair week around here we decided that we needed to pick some items that people might need at the fair and put them on sale for this week.  Things they might need if they spent too much time in the sun or to relieve that tummy ache from all that fair food. lol.  Of course you all know I  just had to make a sign with some of the awesome Greeting Farm stamps that I have had forever.  heehee...  As you can see I had to fussy stamp the bull so that he had some cow ladies to roam around and visit with.  hehee..  All the ladies were given some blush to wear as you just don't go to the fair to be judged without looking your best.  I didn't go to in depth on this sign however as I didn't want our little thief to pick all of them off the sign.  :O( 
     Ok guys, that's all I have for you today.  I hope you have a great day and I will talk to you tomorrow as Lucy has been busy and we have some great pictures to share with you. 
Hugs,  Lisa G

YOU TAKE THE CAKE...

Good morning everyone. 
     It is officially Friday morning and I still need to get to bed so that I can work in the morning.  You might be wondering why in the world I am up at the moment,  and the answer to that would be that I just got home from seeing my very first Rodeo ever.  OMWord, I am tired but I just can't sleep.  It was fantastic and so much fun to watch all of those people riding horse like they were one in the same.  I would love to be able to do that, but the one time I did ride a horse and she started to trot (Not even gallop or run ) I thought for sure I was going to fall face down on the ground.  lol.... So, I guess I will just have to watch everyone else look so wonderful instead. heehee
     We are in the midst of our County fair this week and today was what our town calls Nickel night at the Rodeo.  It is hosted by the Nickel Saver and the theme for tonight's Rodeo was 'Tough enough to Wear Pink' .  All the cowboys and cowgirls wear pink in honor of The Columbia Basin Cancer Foundation.  We all dressed in pink as well and the first 500 with tickets received Pink T-shirts that say " 'Tough Enough to Wear Pink.'  It is an awesome event each year and it kind of kicks off the fair.  As I said, I have never been to a Rodeo and my friend from work had tickets that her hubby's office has year round boxes to.  He hubby didn't want to go so I was the lucky person she asked to go with her.  I can not tell you how pumped I am for next year.  I am soooo going to take the M&Ms to it.  They had a tribute to all the survivors and all the people that have passed.  They let over 300 pink balloons go while a beautiful song was playing.  I will admit that I had goose bumps and got teary.  They also had a wonderful fireworks display in honor of all our service men and women.  Again with the goose bumps. lol... I LOVED it!!!   I am not sure I will have a voice in the morning, but I sure enjoyed every moment of that Rodeo.  Another big part of today and the whole 'Tough Enough to Wear Pink' is that  the local businesses wear pink as well.  That just so happened to include my work,  and all 7 of us wore our Pink proudly.  lol... Men included....
     So,  everyone is tucked in bed here and I have just one light on by my desk as I type this.  I usually don't have any a lone time as both M&Ms tend to get up early with me and like to chat while I blog surf and get ready in the mornings. lol... This is really weird for me. 
     Ok I guess I had better get on with my card for today.   I made this  last weekend for a friend that out of the clear blue really helped me out and I didn't even know that she new I needed the help.  I had just gotten  my  Twisted Tea digi from The Greeting Farm and I really wanted to color her up and make my friend a thank you card so I did what any smart card maker would do, I simply let Twisted Cake make it work as a Thank You card.  My friend actually loves cupcakes and coffee so I really couldn't have gone wrong with this one.  lol
     Twisted Cake was the last of the cake girls that I needed and I have to confess that I wasn't sure I would like her all that much, but oh my word I loved coloring her in and I love how she turned out.  She truly was the perfect girl for this job. 
     Well guys I think I am rambling, so I am going to try and go back to bed for a couple hours before that alarm clock goes off at 5am.  I hope you all have a FANTASTIC  Friday and I will talk at you tomorrow.  I have a small project that I did for work this week and I still need to share it with you. 
Hugs, Lisa G

THIRD GRADE...

Good morning all. 
     Yes,  it's  already Thursday!  Can you believe how fast this week is going?  It just amazes me sometimes. lol...   I am enjoying this summer and really wish that my kids didn't have to head back to school yet.  Next Monday and Tuesday is registration already. :O(  The days are wonderfully hot still, but the nights are getting cooler and that makes the pool's tempature really drop.  Yes, I am complaining.  I love Fall, but it takes me a couple of weeks to actually admit to myself that it is getting closer and very fast as well. 
    Ok I will stop my complaining and  get to my card for today. This one is for my friend to send to her Granddaughter that is starting 3rd Grade very soon.  I had purchased some tags that had an apple on it with the word grade.  I knew right away that this little Miss Monday/Wednesday Creeper from The Greeting Farm was going to enjoy getting dressed up and head off to school.  heehee...
    I really had a great time making this card.  I even pulled out one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders to add some depth into the whole card.  I then grabbed the Oxford paper pad by BasicGrey.  It works so well for school related cards.  I just love it.  I pulled one of the papers that look like ruled paper and  fussy cut some of the fun pencils and pens from a different sheet from the same pad so that it could decorate the inside. 
    I hope you like.  I think it turned out really cute.  I had better get myself in gear.  The earlier I get there the earlier I can come home.  lol... Have a great day all.  I will talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs, Lisa G

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

Good morning all.
     I hope you don't mind, but I am writing this post without my glasses on.  If I type something weird you'll know why.   lol...   Anyway!  I have to tell you that I was so tired last night that I went to bed at 8pm.  I can not remember the last time I went to bed when the sun was still shining through the window.  I remember thinking,  oh well if I wake up in an hour I'll just get up and read for a while.  Well,   needless to say Jerry had to make me get out of bed at quarter to six this moroning and I didn't read at all last night. heehe    I just did not wake and I just did not want to get up.  So here I sit with my hair in it's towel and typing with no glasses on.  lol  Still tired. Grrrr! 
     I am happy to say that my Mom loved her Birthday card, even though the oldest M spoiled the surprise.  My Dad was going to tell my Mom he had to get something in town and then bring it home to her.  Well when the M&M's called to wish her a Happy Birthday my oldest M told her all about it. lol...  He felt soooo bad.  Not a biggie!   So, now that the card is out of the envelope you get to see it as well.   As you can see I am having a great time with cards that you make a little pocket on and put tags in.  It really makes a fun way for everyone to write their own wish or sentiment to the person getting the card.  My little M even gave me a pack of her flowers that she had gotten from Amy on her Birthday for me to use on Mom's card.  I tried to make them look like they were an overall part of the design.  I of course had to use my newest Anya on this one.  She was perfect!
    Ok guys it's time to get the hair ready for work.  Hope you all have a great day.  We are suppose to have a hot one today, but you can sure tell Fall is coming as the nights and early mornings are very very cool.  (I haven't even put on the air yet and if you lived with me you'd know that I come out of my shower and that is the first thing I do. :OD  )  Talk at you tomorrow. 
Hugs, Lisa G
