WOYWW -151

Hey, hello everyone!  Think I am finally getting my house back in order since the grandkids moved.  I am in the process of moving all my craft goodies back into the spare bedroom.  They are scattered on the enclosed porch, the bedroom, and as you can see in the picture all over my table.  But, the table does finally have projects done or in progress.  Will show next week when they are done.

All my colored pencils, an envelope of finished and half-finished cards, my cutter, 2 Martha Stewart stamps, some sorority paper work, and my computer, etc.

I am looking forward to the ATC swap as I haven't done any for a very long time.  I hope I can come up with somethig passable.

Six of my sorority sisters are going on our Annual Weekend Getaway the middle of May so am excited about that.  We are going to the beach in Naples, Florida and staying in a condo.  They have an A.C. Moore Craft Store in Naples, so hope we can make a "quick" stop there.  LOL

Have a great week and I will visit as many of you as time allows.

WOYWW - 145

Well as you can see there is no crafting on my workspace.  If you read my previous post you will know that last week was spent mostly at the hospital waiting for a great-granddaughter's arrival.  I left the hospital on Thursday evening to attend a sorority meeting and they had planned a surprise baby shower for me, so I would have things at my house for babysitting, LOL.  In the middle of it I got the call that she was finally here!  I arrived back at the hospital at 10:00 p.m. and just in time for the staff have me help them move mother and baby to their permanent room.  Wow, they let me push the baby, but did not let me out of their sight.  The baby had a monitor on her leg so it would sound off if someone tried to leave the unit/floor.  So that was pretty cool.  I did not post pictures of children on the computer as a rule.  But I am going to show you how generous my sorority sister were and just one of the baby when she was just under 2 hours old.  Enjoy and see you next week with hopefully something done.

I will visit as many of you as I can.  Have a great week.

SHE'S ARRIVED!

Our family's newest bundle of joy arrived at 8:30 p.m. on March 8.  7 lbs. 13 oz. and 23 in. long.  Mom was sent from Dr.'s office on Tuesday afternoon to have fluid in placenta checked and they kept her.  She finally had to go through two different types of inducements and then broke her water.  Things are definitely different then when I had babies!!  But, after a bit of little problems she is finally here and they did name her Serenity Louise.  She is adorable and this is the first day I have not seen nor held her and my arms are screaming.  LOL  Congrats to my grandchildren, you did a great job and I am loving my precious great-granddaughter.  I may post one pic later, right now I need to sign off.   Have a great week all.

ALONE AGAIN

Well the grandkids have moved into their own apartment and the baby is due.  We are all so anxious to meet this new little member to the family.  They are naming her Serenity.  Took her to hospital last evening, but it was a false alarm.  BUT, it's suppose to be very soon, so says the medical world.  Ah that babe will come when she is ready.  I have done hardly any crafting during their stay with me and now I am in slow process of getting all my crafty stuff back into the spare bedroom.  I am posting the card I did for her wonderful baby shower.  Maybe my girlfriend's birthday card, if I remembered to take a pic.  All for now. 

                          
I cased this card from Cardmaker magazine, March 2012, but I did not have the dies so had to do my own thing.  This is done as a round card in the mag (pg. 72).  The ears on the bunny and elephant are attached with dots so they stand up a little.  I think it came out pretty well.  Sorry no birthday card.  So long for now.  Leave me comments, please.  Stamp ordered from Gina K Designs "Basket Blessings", MS punch, various papers and cardstock.  Original card designed by Giovana Smith.

STILL AROUND

Hi everyone!  I have not been posting as I have my grandson and his fiancee living with me and their very energetic puppy.  They have been looking for an affordable place to live - in a good area of the city that they can afford and they also need to get another car.  They are expecting and hope to be moved into their own home before the baby arrives (they are getting married, but cannot pin them down to a date.)  He wants his  brother as best man, but he is in the Navy and has to wait for a leave.  I asked them to go get married at the courthouse and then have a ceremony at her Mom's when Mitch comes home.  No go on that!  Well what do I know, I am from a totally different generation, LOL.  Anyway that's more than you probably wanted to know.  They are taking me with them to talk to a prospective landlord tomorrow, and I hope they are not setting themselves up for failure money wise.  I am such a worry wart.  But, they need to start their own lives and have their own home.  I will miss them and I won't miss them.  But hey, I will have a beautiful new little great granddaughter to care for when they are working.  Bless you all and have a great year.
