LAZY SUNDAY

Just a nice lazy Sunday, hot again. Yesterday two little dogs were running loose and I like a fool brought them into my screened porch hoping I could find their owners. They are so cute, but barkers and I already have a barker of my own. So last night was a nightmare. Every little noise set all three dogs off. I am going to try and get a pic to put on here, if they will stay in one place long enough, HA!

Isn't this little Enjoy card just the cutest? I had mentioned I didn't have but a couple of images to use for kids cards for Operation Write Home and our great friend Curt sent me some to color for some of my cards. A great big heartfelt hug to Curt! He i s always there to help others.

Tried for a good pic, what a chore! The dogs would NOT stay still, jumping all over me, running around, finally gave up trying to get a decent cute picture, but I did get one. Will wait until sometime tomorrow and try and get a better one to post. Riding to Northport with my girlfriend to pick up something she bought on E-bay, about a 45 min. drive so if the little darlins are still here will try for better picture or post what I have taken. One way or another they have to leave. I have my hands full with my own pets. Really don't want to turn over to the shelter!! They haven't been on the loose long. One has a collar, but no tag, the little one has nothing, but looks like she had pups recently and I hope she doesn't have babies looking for her. They are very well taken care of and well groomed. Put poster at my club house and have looked for Lost posters in stores in area, and put on Craig's List. Can't believe no one is looking for them. Well enough is this going on and on. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

WOYWW

Well I have decided to take the plunge and participate on What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. Not a great pic, took from the door into room. I just cleaned up the desk on the left from all of the cards for OWH, which have been mailed, my card to my grandson, and my July OCS. Card table has various papers, cards I have received, etc. and will be glad when it is all sorted out. The three drawer plastic drawers hold rubber stamps, ink pads; the dresser is full of cardstock, DP, stamp sets, and the top holds a bin for 12 X 12 papers, a basket of some of my ribbons, one for flowers, pearls, and the like.. The binder holds my cling stamps, indexed. I have a few storage boxes in two closets yet to find a home in this room. My punches are on a shelf not shown in the picture on the left wall. Next week will not be so picked up as am starting a new bunch for OWH and am working on notecards for a festival to be sold as a fund raiser for my sorority.

CASED DESIGN

Thank you so much for those that leave comments for me!! The card today was cased from one of Gina K's videos last week. I had to use what I had so I used my nesties for the sentiment. And I love this shade of gold/yellow and I think it was my last sheet. Had the packs for a long time and I think it came from a Stampin' Up pack. Hope you enjoy it as much as I had fun putting it together. This card is pretty quick to put together once you have all the parts ready. Well I love it anyway. Think I will send one to my Navy guy just because the color is so cheerful. Maybe it will hold him over until we can get his care package put together & sent. Hot, hot, hot outside today and I am trying to wait until the sun goes down before I venture out to do anything. We are having our daily late afternoon or early evening rains and it usually cools it down a few degrees at night. Ahhh Paradise!

FOUR CANDY GIVEAWAYS!

If you haven't visited Brenda's blog, Floral Fantasies (http://stamping-fantasies.blogspot.com) you need to go and read all about it. It sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun for all of us, while she is away on holiday. I'd post the pics, but my computer is so skittish lately I try not to push it's little computer brain to much. I'll be checking it out again tomorrow and all of the nine days, intrigued yet?

Raining most of the day, probably coming over to the west coast of Florida from the east side, where the storm came in this morning. Haven't checked the news lately to see what is happening. I did a little run for some stamping supplies & have been working in my OCS card (done - I think) and one for my sailor grandson. He says he never gets mail - I told him the computer does not take the place of a written note or letter and if a person wants to receive snail mail, they need to be sending their own out. Well we all know how far that will go, but since I am such a "nice & loving Grandma and an easy touch", I will send him a special card. Have a wonderful and fun weekend everyone.

JUST A HELLO

Good morning and what a beautiful day it is out there. Will probably be in the 90's again, but the sun is shining and it is gorgeous. Received an e-mail from my grandson in the Navy and he said everyone is receiving care packages. Yikes, I seem to have forgotten about the care package for this deployment. Shame on me!! Called my sorority sisters and gave them a heads up about pulling some items together and get them sent. It takes a long time for mail to get to the ship so we need to get busy. He asked for snick snacks, magazines, books, Monster Energy Drink. Told him I didn't think the cans would go through customs, but someone must be getting away with sending. Besides I think the shipping cost would be more then we could manage. So will send the boxes of Crystal Light, etc. you know the little tubes you can add to your water.

Here are a couple of cards for Organization Write Home for the next box. Oh my, I need to go to the post office today or tomorrow with the box that is already done. Can't seem to stay caught up any more. The image is a stamps from a package of freebies I received with one of my card making magazines - Bently Bears. The second card has a computer generated sentiment - You're On My Mind. added after I took the pic. Have a great day folks. Leave me some love.

HAPPY WEEKEND...

everyone. Looks like Stampin Up is having a blog hop this weekend - VC Rocks, so check out the blog. Kath has a lovely heart box on Penny Black Saturday Challenge, all the gals have outdone themselves once again. Waiting for Elisabeth Bell to post the winner of her candy today. Sure would do my heart good to receive and I would share with a good friend if I ever did. My kitchen is still minus a working fridge. Have done my pet sitting for the morning and will return this evening and then one more day. They all come to see who is coming in to the house and then return to their favorite spot or go into hiding, they are so funny.

Hmmm, Dulcie is whining to go outside, so better take her before she decides to do a naughty. Have a wonderful weekend.

NEW BACKGROUND

After problems with my laptop, AGAIN; and trial and error I have managed to get one of the new Suzanne Woolcott headers/background on my blog. Hope I spelled her last name correctly. Ya just gotta love her designs and her stamps. Hope you like.

Well the freezer section of my fridge just died and I think the fridge part is going or gone also. Good thing I only had two things in the freezer. Guess I will get out my cooler and buy ice until I can figure out how to get a new fridge. Always something and life goes on. Have a great Thursday.
