Dresser Card

I wanted  ababy card for Carrie to use as her announcements so I searched SCS galleris. I come across the cutest little dresser card.
Got a tad bit side tracked on the baby card idea.. which turned out okay! She found premade cards and is sending them to me to assemble! Darn child!
I used aluminum foil for the mirror, turned out kinda cool!


Not sure why that drawer looks funny at the top. It looks fine sitting here. Some optical illusion in the  photo!

My New Area.

I took over the living room.. 

WOW! Can I spread out now!!

Standing by the front door looking int my room

Still standing by the front door looking to the left.. see my punches? They were the first things
I hung up!

The old Entertainment Center and 1 of the bookcases help make a wall between my room and the Dining room

Looking at the front door. See my very messy table int he center? Uff da! Well they do say a cluttered desk is the sign of a creative mind... ha ha
I took the blinds all down, boy did that brighten this room!

Oh I am so lazy!

Well I am now taking over the living room!

Clint is making my den-craft room into his Man Cave

I am making the living room into my craft room-den
We have them about half switched, I am washing the walls and scrubbing the floors as I go. The living room is hard wood flooring and the den is carpet.

I am also purging my stuff as I pack it up.

The LSS is having a Rummage Sale in November and I will put more unused stuff on there. anything with dust means I really don't need it. Besides the sale gives me store credit.

I'm still keeping up with my Christmas Card Challenge on SCS,

Hey there!

Didn't realize just how behind I am in updating this blog.

Clint got a puppy last week, her name is Missy
she is part Cocker Spaniel Shih Tzu and Poodle

She can walk under Joker.. that's hilarious! She is terrified of Wilbur and Tommy the big cat is scared of her.
Missy whines when Tommy moves and we're thinking that's what bothers him.
We have no idea how old Tommy is, he just showed up here one day. She chases after Zeus the got, but if he stops she runs and hides under the car.

I had such great intentions of getting pics on here today..  I do have another Shutterfly share site with pics... there is a link on the left, when you go look at the card site. It is called Just Vikki's

I Love SHutterfly, I have no limit on the number of pics I can upload.
I have to go figure out what happened to Picaso next. :(

The Robin Family

Look close.. momma is bringing breakfast.
I can get so close without disturbing them. It's awesome, I know they'll be gone soon. 
They really should consider an addition to this home!

Happy Graduation Brittany

I got told this morning at about 10 am that we needed a card today for a cousin. The party is at noon!
OMG! Seriously!? LOL

I totally CASED this one!

My friend Holly sent me a purse with a Top Note as the flap

The purse was a shorty so I tweaked that part to fit the poem I printed out.

There are magnets for the closure. One is hidden under the flower, the other is very visible once you open the purse.

 Paper: Blue Bazill Bling and Whisper White  
 Accessories: Top Note, Rhinestone Brad SU Gold Thread and a Paper Flower

Cards

 Happy Birthday Cameron! I found out after I had this one ready to go, he prefers kitties!

 This is my first card for Deb's Challenge.I made it with Clint in mind, but never gave it to him. I used Smooch and Spica for the truck. I'll have more details in my SCS Gallery.

This card was made for Clint by Laurie. Her and Tom sent him a bag of each flavor M&M's. She spoils him!!
Love the card!

The Critters

 Our little Pygmy Angora Goat Zeus is house broken and I let him come in to visit.

 I was brushing him and he just fell over!

 Wilber was trying to rst and I kept poking him to make him look at me.. and WOW what a look I got!!

 He finally got off the couch to have peace!

 Tommy thinks baskets and bags belong to him, even if he doesn't fit

 He had his head over the other leg of the rocker till he heard my camera. He does not look comfortable!

 Joker seemed attracked to Clints shoes.

Very weird dog!!

Then he took a nap in Clint's lap.

Mom and her Barbies!

 Bra and Panties for Barbie! I just love it!!

This last one is my fave... wouldn't that be beautiful in red or black!?!

Here comes the bride

 

My mom likes to sew Barbie clothes, right now she is on a Wedding Gown kick.

This is not may fave, but she won't let me take anymore pics till she's done.

The last one she made I asked her to make me one, but in red or black. It's so pretty!

I told her she should sell them. She has a huge rubber maid tote under her bed full of Barbie clothes (Ken too)

It's hard doing clothes for Ken though, the new Ken dolls are more 'buff' then the older patterns.

The Robin's

There are 4 little ones in the nest, all naked! Probably a good thing in this heat!

Not easy to see, but dad was right above my head in the tree. Boy is he loud when he yells at me! LOL

I go peak each day that I am home, I know they will be gone soon.
I'm hoping all 4 survive this year. Last 1 died when a storm knocked over the chelf the nest was on.
They keep building their nests where I store my flower pots. This year they put the nest right inside of my sprinkler!

I have an old (very old) swing set with no swings that I hang hoses and pots, ther eis a ladder ties across it theat I keep shoels and rakes on.

The guys were gonna build me a shed, but there are other things needed more.

Clint's dad has been cutting Poplar and Ash trees  to make more room for the Oaks and Maples. Birch are very scarce around here so I protect them! LOL We do live on Birch Bark Road! Anyhow.. a bit off track there! LOL
I had tied some trees that could be cut, and the Robins fly at Clint and Dave when they walk over there, I think those trees will stay for a bit longer. At least Papa Robin has chosen an oak

My first Lily!

I'm a bit confused, I took this pic with my cell, turned it over before uploading and it turned back over, the other way!

This is my first bloom so far, I sure hope this comes back next year, I do not have good luck with this type of Lily!

Meet Zeus!

 Clint traded a neighbor, our baby geese for this little Pygmy

 He was bottle fed, and house broken.

 He wants nothing to do with me... nothing! Tommy the kitty on the other hand.. he followed him in the house!

Joker couldn't believe he was in the house! I let him off the leash and they ran from one end to the other a few times.

Joker got up in Clint's lap, I thought for sure Zeus was going to follow!
He even came over and sniffed my leg. That's the closest he has gotten to me!

Well that's as close as I could get before Momma flew away!

Look! One hatched today! Oh, boy is it ever ugly! I can't believe how different they look naked!

Eagle and National Anthem

I printed our National Anthem inside, it's a squash fold.

I am going to Archiver's tomorrow to look for a nicer paper for the inside. Maybe a parchment.

I am going to give it to the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War ladies next week. I am hoping to make many to be sold for their fundraiser.

Stamps: The digi is from Doodle Pantry

Paper: Night of Navy and just some scraps of tan.

Ink: Koh-i-nor Pencils

Accessories: SU Corner Punch and some Gold Brads.

A True friend!
