Paper Flowers..repost from before

Tag Swap "Destination"

What a day...

Yesterday was full of rain, thunder & lightening....much needed after the 100+ temps we've had the past week!
I tried to do a video for YouTube on my "Paris" tag...worked great, the lighting was great but when I went to load it on my computer...it was no good...I mean the SD card was no good...I guess they do go bad....lol! I changed out the card for a 1G and did it but the lighting was dark....just couldn't win...can't wait to get another digital camera....and suggestions?
Hubby was so wonderful, after talking to him on his lunch hour be bought me a brand new 4G card for my camera....how sweet is that...I ♥ you honey!

I did find out that my local Joanns store, as little as it is, now carries the Spellbinders Nestabilities dies.....I so did the happy feet dance. Hubby couldn't wait to tell me when he got home from work.

Ok, maybe I should explain, Bryan works part time at Joanns, stocking a couple days a week, nice cuz I still get the discount and his full time job is with Office Depot. If he had it his way he would work full time at Joanns....just waiting on the right offer!!!!
Well, that's it for now...I'll be back soon!

HOT Surprise....

Well, it's been HOT...HOT...HOT here....yesterday it was 110+....oh, I wilted like a flower...yes, we do have AC but I'm not a big fan of AC. Hubby turned it on when he got home at 8pm...what a wimp, I went all day without it and he's not home 10 minutes and had to put it on...by then it was only 89 in the house.....I can make my fans work for me...lol
Ok, so I'm sitting at the computer yesterday, clear blue sky and very, very sunny right...than all of a sudden it get very black in the house.....ok, I'm thinking what's happppppeninggggg....I thought maybe the rapture was happening and I was missing it all....:-D

I immediately went to the front door and low and behold there was this little lonely cloud covering the sun....I laughed and had to get a picture.....

What a week....

Wow, it 's been a week.....I hurt my back to the point I could hardly walk for a few days.....praise the Lord through the power of prayer...my back is healed and no problems♥
Second thing, we got word that our son and family are moving 6 hours away.....not happy about that. It was either get laid off or move up to Los Gotas, 2 hours from San Francisco.
Aaron, leaves tonight to drive up there and he will stay for a month, come home and get the house moved and Robin and the girls!
What I learned.....life can change in a blink of an eye so don't take anything for granted!

Happy Weekend♥

I did get my studio cleaned but not redone....need hubby to pull shelves off the walls and make me a ribbon holder...going to Ikea tomorrow for so items to hang my punches and other items...pics to follow....in the mean time check out my latest creations....

The pic above and below are a for a tag swap I'm in this month with Jess at KinderStampO....go check her blog or catch her on Facebook...she hosts a swap each month and guess what next month is...."Halloween" my fave!

The theme for the September swap was "Destination" and I picked Paris as my place. I'll be doing a YouTube video on the making of this tag later today...wish me luck on getting it posted...I've had no luck lately!


The above are some rosettes I made last night....I made my first ones on the "Paris" tag swap and now I'm hooked on making them.


Last but not least is the new born baby bracelet I made for my dear friend, Charris' new great grandaughter...I get to meet her this Saturday...can't wait to squeeze those new born baby butt cheeks....love it!!!
