I was reading Vanessa's blog and wanted to share a link to desert flyer. I am so very grateful to our soldiers for their sacrifices on our behalf! Our family prays every day for their safety.
Sending a HUGE THANK YOU to all the soldiers and their families !!!
We had a great time making 10 cards (5 cards 2 ea) that take 10 min each for $20.00! (plus 10 envelopes)
Here are the 5 cards we made. 2 of them were taken from coordinating inspiration sheets, the heartfelt thanks card in green is using the alternate colors suggested on the inspiration sheet, the happy for you card is from an inspiration sheet and the other 3 cards are ideas from stampin friends!
They were a hit!
My step daughter Is having a baby boy and I wanted to make her a special card to put in her gift for her shower coming up and then it was so fun and easy I made a baby girl card so he wouldnt be alone!
I used our Spring mini designer papers and whisper white cardstock. I have had this template for years and always love using it.
Tops ladies will be here in a few min to walk and tonight is my 10-10-20 class and it is full!
wish you were here to and joining in the fun!
The weather is finally cooperating so I am spending my time outside. Tonight I sorted all my seed packets as you will see in the photos. Some of them are saved from many years. Back to when I had my 2 acre organic market CSA garden. I know that I have stored them well and that I will still be able to use them, so I have sorted them into their catagories.
And my cow dog Tank decided he just had to join in the fun and have his photo taken, he posed and everything but the nut closed his eyes so I am sharing his photo also. Imagine one brown eye and one white eye and a smile! lol
I see that our wild dogwoods are budding out, the are so gorgeous in our subdivision and here on our property (we have 4.5 acres) I just wish they would bloom longer each year!
Flower seeds
vegetable and herb seeds, some are sized bulk packets (note to self do NOT buy lettuce seed for the next 5 years!)
garbanzo bean seed and dill seed-
have you ever grown garbanzo beans? I was approached by a grower to join the co-op he was putting together to grow garbanzo beans in a high altitude 3 month growing season garden where I lived and he wanted them by the acre. I tried a patch 2 seasons and they were great easy to grow but then the divorce started and I never did join in the fun. And yes, that is one of my many longaberger baskets and this one is full of gardening things.
Isn't he just cute? his name is Tank- yes, he has a brother named dozer (belongs to my son Morgan) and his sister was named Rosie but I lost her several years ago.
Tank is a cow dog, his breeding is border collie, kelpy and mcnab. He has one white eye and one brown and he is my favorite friend in all the world. Tank is an outside dog, he absolutely HATES coming in the house and flat refuses altho when it's cold, he will go in the garage to his kennel. Tank is a pup (well he is about 8-9 yrs old now so he's no longer a pup) from our old cow dog Toby who was pure blood border collie with the white collar and everything. I always know when something "really" important is going on because that is the only time he barks.
It doesn't matter where outside I go, he is always there with me but never underfoot. I hope to one day find him a wife of the australian shepherd or border collie persuasion and have a new friend to continue the bloodline before it's to late. Do you see the red on his toes? That would be good old Missouri red clay mud and it matches the color in his fur- to funny!
Here are the seedlings I planted last week- starting to pop! (insert very excited tone here)
I put them outside today because of the warm 76 degree weather and I think with it so warm tonight I will just leave them out.
These are all flower and herb seedlings.
I have one area in the yard where I am trying to burn off the leaves under the trees so I can make it into a bird area- where I will have plants that birds love but the leaves are so wet from all the rains that they won't burn so that project is on hold for a few more days. We have a huge burn pile of the limbs from the ice storm in our main garden area and will be getting it burned next week so we can till the dirt and then start putting in our hand built raised beds.
Well enough of that - tomorrow I have to put together the 10-10- 20 cards for Friday night and Saturday classes because I have procrastinated as long as I can thanks to the great weather! lol
Thanks for stopping by and sharing my day with me.
My dear friend Bob sent me an email showcasing his wonderful wife Dani's new project.
Bob says: "I thought you'd want to see her handiwork. This is the sample. She is going to make 35 like this and use it for a Young Women's combined lesson in April"
I just knew that all of you would love it too so I posted all the photos in my photo album under the non card title. And my thought was 35? Oh my heck, I certainly hope she has help!
Here is just a sampling of the lovely photos you will find 
Good morning its 3:30 am here in Missouri and we are up and getting ready to head to the temple for baptisms for the dead.
Redeeming the dead by performing vicarious ordinances of the gospel for those who have lived on the earth.
One of the most wonderful experiences our youth can have, and today I will share this experience with my daughter for the first time together. She has been going since she was 12 and this is just the first time we have been able to go at the same time!
See other temples here. May your day be as wonderful as mine will!
Yesterday I drove my step son Kasey to Independence Mo to the LDS visitors center to meet up with his sister so he can spend the week of spring break with her in Omaha Nebraska. I had a lovely tour and felt the love of My Savior (my favorite feeling) and I also had a heart stopping moment.
I will relate it when I am back! NO KIDDING It literally made my heart stop I was so scared.
Stay tuned!
