I finished my mom's butterfly windchimes after wandering around Michael's for an hour looking for something to suspend them from. I finally settled on a bamboo purse handle and hemp to add to the natural look. Now all I have to do is trim the strings a little.

Jimmy and I went to Frankenmuth yesterday. Just thinking of the buttered noodles makes my mouth water. Yum!!!!!

My friend, Margaret, always sends the best cards but this time she outdid herself. She sent a card to the Golden Gang from Auntie Margaret and it is the cutest card I have ever seen. It made me smile again and again and again. If you know who the Monkees are, if you remember the song, "I'm a Believer", and if you like Golden Retrievers, then you are going to LOVE this card! I feel a scrapbook page coming!

The last card is done! My first big accomplishment for my vacation!

Card number five is my favorite so far. What I like about Stampin' Up is that you can make a nice card rather quickly!

The fourth card is plain and simple, but cute! Bugs and kisses!

I can't wait to get my distress inks.The third card has just a touch of an idea that I discovered the other night by Robin Beam. It's called the bandanna technique.

I just finished the second card for Dianne's party. I think it needs some glitter! I used the faux cracked glass technique. That's hard to see in the picture. :) !

I made the first sample card for Dianne's Stampin' Up party on March 8 tonight. It has been a long day since I returned to school after being sick for three days, but I had an idea for trying the Warhol technique. Think spring!

I finished my Valentine cards last night and Jimmy is putting them in the mail today. I am home from school because I have an upper respiratory infection. It's nice to be home; not so nice to be so sick.

I made a thank you card for Dr. Peterson for getting me in so quickly when I had my eye infection; not once, but twice! This is the perfect stamp for an eye doctor. The card was quick and simple but from the heart.
