WooF! WooF! BarK!

Hello everyone

and 

Happy Sunday to you all!

No I have not gone to the dogs,

but I sure had a dog gone good time

making this little gift set for a sweet friend

who just adopted a beautiful rescue dog from the

"Paws in Prison" 

program in her home state of Arkansas!

 Cute dog stamp from Inkadinkado set "Dogs".

 See the bling on the collar?

 Every dog needs some treats!

Little fire hydrant from Recollection set "Woof Woof" 

What a fun day in the stamp room

and feeling not a bit guilty skipping out 

on my yard chores

for some play time!

Congrats Amy, 

to the new additions to your family!

Can't wait to meet her!

Thanks you all for stopping by!

Wishing you  a wonderful creative week!

Front Porch Sitting!

Hello everyone

and welcome to my Front Porch!

I apologize in advance,

"Sorry" no card in this short post!

 The weather is been just to nice to 

be inside in my stamp-room.

So I moved to our front porch,

the perfect spot for

reading, knitting or just sitting (daydreaming)!

 I started this beautiful fall colored cowl last night.

Yarn is Loops & Threads - Elegance.

 And if you like yarn, knitting and murder,

here is one of my favorite "A Knitting Mystery" series

by Maggie Sefton.

"Purl up and Die" is the latest in her series.

Sorry, another scarf,

I hope you are not getting tired looking at them.

Found this beautiful red sparkling yarn 

(Loops & Threads - Payette)

at Michaels.

I made this one for a friend who is a

Louisville Cardinal fan!

Thanks for stopping in,

and I apologize for the short post

but you guessed it

I have some more

"Front Porch Sitting"

to do before this weekend is over!

Have a wonderful week!

Lazy Summer Days!

Hello

and 

Happy Sunday to you all!

First I would like to say 

"Thanks you"

to all of you who came to visit during the

"Where Bloggers Create"

blog party!

Thanks for all your sweet and kind comments,

they mean the world to me!

"Lazy Summer Days", 

they have finally arrived after all the rain

of the last few month.

Enjoying every minute I can spend outside,

watching the Butterflies, Hummingbirds

and Bees buzz by.

So what better opportunity to create a

summer inspired card.

Sweet Honey Bees!

 Sun shiny yellow flower.

 Bees and background flowers are from Stampin'Up! set

"In Full Bloom".
Bee hive was cut with Cricut cartridge "Sentimentals".

 Hope this weeks card brought a little sunshine into your day!

I would like to finish this post with a few pictures of my summer flowers.

 My old strawberry bed converted into a wildflower bed.

 Can you see the Hummingbird?

Our Mimosa tree had a hart time this winter

but bounced back fairly well.

I wished you could smell the sweet fragrants which fills the air

and at times it seams like the tree has wings with all

the pretty Butterflies and Hummingbirds buzzing 

around the sweet blooms!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday

and a sunny week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Where Bloggers Create 2015!

Hello everyone

and 

Welcome to

"Where Bloggers Create 2015"

and 

my humble little space!

Before I let you go to take a peek into my 

little creative space I would like to 

extent a huge

"Thank You"

to Karen Valentine at

"My Desert Cottage"

for putting on this awesome event!

Thank you Karen!

And now,

 come on in and take a peek at
"My Paper Daisy".

I moved into this room about 2 years ago 

and

made it my own.

It's still a work in progress and

I haven't quiet handled the storage issues yet

but it's my little sanctuary, a place I can escape to!

 Lots of photo boxes for easy storage.

 My favorite spot in the room,

my little desk with a view of our backyard.

Love the sunshine coming in. 

 Old shutters.

 Some of my stamps.

 Love displaying some of my favorite cards all over the room.

 Old cabinet door re-purposed as memory board.

 Old re-purposed cork board.

My other addiction,

knitting and crocheting. 

 What's behind the door you ask!?

Well, it's my dark and messy secret

or better my tub collection holding all my goodies. 

Thank you so much for coming in for a visit.

I hope you liked what you seen and 

come back often.

I'm off now to join the party,
can't wait to see all the other wonderful creative spaces,

meet the folks who created them

and hopefully make some new friends on the way.

And of course find some great ideas to take home!

Happy Blog Hopping!

A Vintage Father's Day!

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a great start to your week!

Work is keeping me busy,

with the end of the budget year looming 

by end of this month,

things tend to get a little topsy turvy!

So you can imagine,

how I truly treasure every minute in my stamp room right now,

my little sanctuary keeps me sane.

Today I would like to share my 

"Vintage Father's Day" 

card with you.

 Vintage car was stamped with

Tim Holtz "The Journey" stamp set.

" Established 1873" from Stampin'Up! set 

"Established Elegance".

 I think the card came together fairly well,

what do you think?

A while back I promised myself  I would not

buy another plant I had to bring inside to 

winter over!!!

In my household cat's and house plants

do NOT mix very well!

Well, a visit to the local nursery 

and ...

... well you know how the story goes!!!

This adorable Gardenia went home with me!!!

 First bloom...

 ...so beautiful...

...and I wished you could smell it...

...amazing!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

wishing you all a great week

and

A Wonderful Father's Day weekend!
