COMING SOON...........

something beadalicious! I have been working with this special mixture for a swap on Two Peas!

Stay tuned!

I'm totally lagging

in posting and everything I need to do! I have been soooooooooo tired and have been sporting a headache for about 3 days. Oh well.

I said I was going to post pics of the wall hanging I made for my great-nephew being born in a couple of months, so without further ado; here it is!

Finally......

getting around to posting the photo of the Father's Day gift I made for my Dad. Not too sure if he liked it, he didn't say to much. It has come to a point that I just don't know what to get the man! My Mom is so easy to buy for because we like the same things!

Anyways, the photo is from my son's wedding almost 3 years ago, but it is one of the few photos I have with the siblings together. There is a brother missing tho as he he passed years ago, so the picture is not complete in my opinion.

On a lighter note, I went to one of my nieces baby shower this weekend and made a baby wall hanging that I will post tomorrow as I have to download the picture! I'm always a day behind, but it keeps you coming back right???!!!!

Today I have to run a bunch of errands and pay some bills. It is cooler today, but there is humidy and it is sticky!!! Humidy is worse than the blazing heat we experienced for the last 5 days. It reached 113 in some parts of San Diego this weekend, with the highest of 109 where I live. UGGH, can you say lethargic!

Well of to the "Pea Board " for awhile, then get my hiney in gear!

Hugs to all

2 Peas blogger Challenge~

Challenge~ Do you work better under pressure?

I would say that actually get more accomplished under pressure for sure! No matter what it is that I am doing! I am a serious procrastinator! I believe that it is one of my worst flaws as a human being!

However, I have to wonder if I work better under pressure, should I really change at all? What would life be like if I didn't ensue all this stress upon myself hehhehe.

I made a little Father's day plaque for my Dad yesterday (yep right before I saw him). I didn't take pictures as I was in a hurry to leave because um, I was late in finishing my project :) crazy vicious circle I run in. My mom will send me a pivture of it and then I will post it.

I have got to get my but in gear and get dressed and go run a couple of errands. I will leave you a picture of one of my pretty rose bushes tho!

I'll talk with you all soon



XOXOXOXOXO

I Finally made myself somethin!!!!

Hi everyone!
I finally have managed to make myself something in between working on swaps. I need to get busy on some cards now for Father's Day and my niece's baby shower!

I received the plain journal from a friend Sue during one of my holiday swaps and this is what I did with it. I may add some ribbon at some point :) Paper is by K & Company (GirlScouts) Lots of bling, and acrylic piece by Cloud Nine, I think.

Oh and last but not least, my Mommy made the wonderful flower center for me!

Well I gotta hurry and post this and finish cooking my Fried chicken salad - YUMMY.

SO THIS IS WHAT I MADE OUT OF THE PAPER.....

I was busy making 28 recipe cards for the BBQ swap on Two Peas ran by Kim! My category was a drink and it was "Absolut Blue Pearl"
I had a ton of fun working with the red, white and blue. On the edge of the cardstock I used white acrilyic paint put on with my fingers and red acrylic paint on the edges of the Blue Hawaiian shirt paper from Karen Foster (yep finger painting! My mom helped me cut the Hibiscus (qk) flowers from the white glittered Doodlebug paper, and after I cut the stamens I used glitter glue and put a small red confetti star in the center. I tried out my new treading water punch from Fiskers. I must sau I really like the quality of Martha Stewert border punches better. MS punches cut carstock no problem and Fiskers seems to have a harder time with cardstock. Just a personal opinion, but I love the scallop for this particular recipe!

I hope the girls in the swap enjoy them and I cannot wait to get all the recipes and maybe make a cover for the book! I got some paper the other day that i am hoping will be great for a BBQ recipe book cover.

Well stay tuned, next I am going to post pics of a few things that I splured on, you're gonna love them!

take care all and hugs to you all

A little update on the puppies

Just thought I would update about my girls :) It's been 12 days since their surgeries and they are doing well. They actually played today for the first time since they got spayed. Here are some pics of them while they were resting one day after surgerie. My chevy girl remained asleep when I took her pick, but my wolf Sunshine woke up and her look is priceless! Enjoy! Also here is a pic of some paper I am working with and I will post a pic of the finished project tomorrow.

CHEVY aka "LOVEBUG"

SUNSHINE aka "The Beast"

As promised... My Mommy's flowers

Ok, My Mommy just kills me with her talant!!!! These flowers were inspired by Sue Roddis in the 4th anniversary edition of "Paper Creations" on page 45. They do have a website: http://www.papercreationsmag.com/

Ok so anyways back to my mom's talant..... she has so much. She always adds a flair that makes it her own, always beautiful...like her.

ENJOY!
