Friendship Book

This is a Bo Bunny kit I got a while back....the kit is called Seasons...I have a friend coming to visit next month and wanted a gift for her so I tried hard to finish this. I actually like how it turned out..I will take pics of her and I to fill this up while she is here. Her and I go back about 8 years now, thru several seasons. we don't get to talk much due to our schedules and all, but the bonds are there always. I miss her birthdays, and her christmas and I miss her cooking the most....she is a Pampered Chef Rep... its been awhile since she visited so we will have fun...and will tide us over till we see each other again.....and Dee if you visit my blog..lucky cannot wait to see you...

Finally .....

I have carrots in my garden....I have been watching the foliage grow so beauitful. Seemed like forever for little orange tops to come popping up...But look at the roots on these carrots....they are zig-zag like....I think they grew down deep enough to reach the real Texas soil...Hard rock like dirt...and they couldn't penetrate it so they grew zig-zag roots...think I will have to till into that dirt next year. Maybe the reason for my low growth this year with all my plants... 1st year for growing in Texas for this Northern girl..... Live and learn right...but I will enjoy the few little things I have grown for this year and start planning for next year....these carrots smell so good.

Scrapbook Page Challenge

I made this page for my daughters pregnancy album I have been working on for some time now...My local scrapbooking group ( Creative Outlet) posted this layout as our monthly challenge..I thought it was perfect for my pictures.. can you see my vision from the challenge page they posted...I love making my own sketches, it is a bit of a challenge for me to scrapbook from someone elses sketchs..I went to a group meet-up last night, a new one called Scrapbooking for Lives, I wanted to meet the ladies and it is rare for me on a Saturday night to be awake...I usually have to sleep for work. But since I was up I went and had in mind to finish this page..... I got there , got it all the parts ready and realized.....I need to sew on this page. So please check out the details I have sewn on with my machine..I find myself sewing on lots of my paper crafts....Hope you enjoy some scrapbooking real soon...very theraputic...

Sewing Journal

I was visiting Creative Organizing earlier this week and come across this..Finish it Friday....then I was at A Work in Progress and she was doing the Finsih it Friday challenge.....So I think I need to do this for several weeks I have so much to finish... so I did this and got it finished and I love it...So glad and happy to put these supplies back into my crafting stash. Do you have something uyou can get done today that has bbeen waiting and waiting to be finished..watch for the Finish it Fridays at Creative Organizing...have fun.

Are you Seeing "D's"

I am seeing D's all over the place...I did a swap with my friend Angie making ragged letters, we found directions Here. I am doing the letter "D" which is part of the words Happy Birthday. I now wish I would have done the Happy Halloween one also because they turned out so cute... funny story..when I went to Hobby Lobby to get fabric we got this great idea. How about doing one side for boys and one side for girls....yeah great idea right! I bought the fabric for this... but flip a "D" horizontally over and it isn't correct..good idea! uh,,....once I got them all done I did realize if you flip it vertically ...wha la! it does...lol..as you can see by the picture. I cannot wait to get all the letters back and see my Happy Birthday..I plan on doing the Merry Christmas Swap ...and the alpahbet sets for my grandbabies..try these put they are very funny to do.
