Isn't It The Cutest!

Trying to tweak my blog

2011-10-27T17:39:00.002-04:00

I'm trying to tweak my blog. It's not as easy as you would think. I think I have it all figured out and then I post and it all changes. Very frustrating at times.....

My latest project

2011-10-22T09:13:00.002-04:00

My latest creation. A little Halloween configuration box--it was fun to make!

I used a 7 gypsies configuration box, various Halloween papers in the background, stamps and other miscellaneous goodies! Thanks for taking a look!

Latest art

2011-02-01T19:43:00.002-05:00

This is my latest piece of art that I created tonight. It's a 3/4 view of the face

and man is that hard to do. I'm pretty happy with how she turned out. Of course I have a pile of erasing scraps all over me and the table--but after several attempts it all worked out. Sorry the paper is a little

warped since it is still a bit wet. Thanks for taking a look.

What I've been up to

2011-01-28T06:47:00.000-05:00

This is what I have been up to lately. Ashley and John bought me an art class for Christmas and so I've been working on that. I am loving it. Thanks Ashley and John! It's called Magical, Mythical Makings and it's given by Tam LaPorte at Willowing.ning.com. It is a a wonderful class and our first assignment was to work in our art journals and to draw and paint our Goddess on canvas. We were to choose a name, color scheme, and various things and go from there. My Goddess's name is Aine (Awn-yuh) and her story is quite interesting, that's why I chose her. So here she is meet Aine. I'm quite happy with her (which is amazing, I usually am never happy with my work) Thanks for taking a look!

New wreath for Linda's house

2010-12-18T07:12:00.000-05:00

You really should see my sister Linda's house decorated for Christmas. She and Harry go all out and it is just gorgeous. The other night we created a new wreath to hang over her fireplace. I must say that it turned out just gorgeous and Linda sent me a picture of it so I decided to do a post on it. Her home is done in Pink of course and teal and is just beautiful. Maybe I'll go down and take pictures and post a visual tour here....... Maybe....

So here is the new wreath.

Print your own owl calendar

2010-11-24T07:01:00.000-05:00

You can print your own owl calendar for 2011 right here. They are so cute! When I saw this I had to print one in honor of my Mom. My daughter also has a love for owls and will enjoy this page. Here you go kiddo!

If you are an owl lover too, you can go and pick your owl for each month and save it to your computer to print!

So cute! Have fun :)

Crafting weekend

2010-10-17T16:20:00.000-04:00

Wow! I haven't been here in a long time.....Just wanted to show all of you what craftiness I have been up to.

I made this too cute little bat centerpiece. You can make your own buy going to this link and following the step by step instructions by Jennifer Beason the guest designer over at Ally Scraps. My bat is a bit different then hers, but that's why he's my kooky little bat! I've also been making a few banners to hang on my hutch. Hope you like them. I've made some Halloween cards too but didn't take pics of them. I hope all of you have a nice rest of the weekend. I'm off to decorate my house for Halloween. I better hurry or I'll miss the holiday completely. Please excuse my dining room table I'm transitioning from Fall decor to Halloween. Hope the rest of your weekend is a nice one.

Thanks for taking a look.

Cards I've been making

2010-09-08T18:48:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I've been doing some card making lately. I'm on a roll you could say. Just found out how to make the easel cards and love them. So much fun to make. I'm also thinking and working out of my comfort zone and doing some goth girls "they're cute though" and I even watched Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and I loved it! So anyway that's what I've been up to lately. I'm also doing a few other things that I'll post about a bit later. Thanks for taking a look.

Nancy :)

Look what I won!

2010-08-01T17:04:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone,

A few weeks ago I entered a blog contest on Tammy Tutterows blog
(a great blog you should check it out) and I won this kit from Paper Fashions Boutique (check out Lisa's blog too....great kits) Thank you Tammy, thank you Lisa! I love it!!! I was so excited! I enter these contests every day for months and months and I finally won! I am so thrilled with my prize and couldn't wait to get started on it. It turned out so cute! I just love it! You can get a kit like this for yourself at

Paper Fashions Boutique and Lisa offers many other adorable kits too. You get so many supplies with your kits and some extra you can use for other projects. Thanks for taking a look at my finished project! I hope you like it as much as I do!

Vintage seam binding

2010-07-08T20:33:00.000-04:00

Here is my first attempt at creating my own vintage seam binding. Sorry the picture is so light.. It's actually a little darker in color. I used tattered angels Pink (not sure of the actual name) I'm pleased with how it turned out and I made more in peach and orange and have the orange fingers to prove it.

I'm also going to attach some of the goodies I made for the 4th to take to Chris and Danielle's house. They hosted a great 4th of July cookout with lots of great food and fun! Danielle had everything decorated up and it was so patriotic and festive and Chris was a master at the grill, with Ashley's always awesome salad and Linda and Harry's scrumptious potato salad and always requested and so tasty iced tea it was a great day! Topped off with fireworks courtesy of Chris and so much fun with the kids. Thanks Chris and Danielle.

What I've been up to lately

2010-07-03T10:44:00.000-04:00

Wow, I haven't posted in a very long time so just wanted to catch up and tell you what I've been up to lately.
I made this card for Linda (my sis) for her birthday. It turned out so pretty if I must say so myself and the flowers were fun to make so of course I made a bunch of them. Here is a picture of her card . The next thing I made was a a wreath for the 4th. It turned out pretty cute too. Here's a pic

Then I decorated up my hutch a little for the 4th! It is one of my favorite holidays!

I got a roll of seam binding and this morning I tried my hand at making some vintage looking seam binding of my own. I dyed the seam binding with some Tattered Angels that I got from Claire's store
(Stamp & Deliver) for those of you that don't know. She's gotten in some new goodies so I'll need to run over and take a look. I'll try to post a picture of the seam binding after it is all dried to give you all a peek.
That's all for now.
Have a very Happy and safe 4th of July!

Nancy :)

Organizing my craft room

2010-04-27T14:39:00.002-04:00

I've been organizing my craft room and I'm actually doing it the right way this time. Most times it seems I just move things from one side to the other. Well this time, I'm organizing, giving away stuff that others can use, and throwing away stuff just lying around. For instance I read on line. When you get home take things out of the packages right away and recycle your bags. Wow!!! Was that ever an eye opening experience :) There were tons of bags in there with stuff still in them... I knew I had purchased things but couldn't find them........... I guess this was the reason.... who'd have thought :) Ohhhhh and receipts...I threw away more receipts. What am I saving them for they are scrapbook supplies.....it's not like I'll return them or ever want to actually see how much I spent again. :) I was just talking to Ashley and she was telling me that receipts are covered in BP powder. You know the bad plastic we are trying to get and stay away from. Gosh, I had no idea. If you want to read more about this you can go to the blog called Young house love and read about it. It's a very cool blog with lots of ideas for your house and it's a journey to see what this young couple have done with their first home. Wow! They are clever. Sorry for the side bar....

Back to my craft room. Hubs and I went to Ikea the other day and boy did I score! I got a $35 dollar table for $19 for my craft room. I was so excited! It was exactly what I was looking for and then I got some other little goodies to help me organize and stuff. So I'm going to post some pictures because I was doing such a happy dance and was so thrilled with how my room is coming along. Look at this cool little swing out drawer thingy that attaches to the leg. Those Swedes are so very clever! I just love Ikea!

I will take more pictures when I am completely finished...there is still stuff in baskets and on the floor that needs to be sorted but it's all coming together. I love it.... Okay that's all for now. This is what I have been up to lately. Thanks for taking a look

Blooming Air Plants

2010-04-13T07:07:00.000-04:00

I'm so excited. My air plants are blooming, or beginning to. Linda and I sent for air plants a while ago and I glued mine all to a wreath and put them on the screen porch and I guess they are happy at the moment because they are blooming! I just glued them on with Aleenes tacky glue (quick dry) Anyway I just thought I would share a few pics of my little plants that live off of air.
Thanks for stopping by.

My finished faux cakes

2010-03-29T21:25:00.001-04:00

Well here they are! My faux cakes all decorated and finished. Sorry the pictures aren't very good they have lots of mica and the colors are brighter but it didn't show up on the pics. I love them! I'm very happy with the way they turned out! Such fun! Thanks for taking a look.

More of my faux cakes

2010-03-25T17:58:00.001-04:00

Well, here is step two of my faux cakes.................adding the borders. This was so much fun. I might even make

a real cake for hubs birthday tomorrow. Does it look real? It's so cute and so fun! After this dries I get to decorate it! Can't wait to add glitter or Mica and little trinkets. You really should give it a try

if you like decorating cakes and creating. What a fun little box! A great little ezine! I recommend it!

This is cool! A bald eagle just flew over my yard circled around and came down and plucked a fish out of the lake behind our house! Pretty exciting to see! They are majestic birds!! They've been hanging around alot lately. Tried to get a picture to post but trying to shoot a digital camera toward the sky and follow a flying bird isn't easy. So no shots today.

Thanks for taking a look.

Hi-Jinx

2010-03-24T16:52:00.001-04:00

Here are some of the hi-jinx I have been up to. I gold-leafed this large foam egg. I think it is beautimous! A Real Diamond Jubilee Egg indeed! Then I bought the ezine Pretty Spring Things and I have been creating little goodies from that including the faux cake. I will show you mine in the works. I think I may have gotten a little to heavy on the frosting, but we'll see. It might take a year to dry. (I hope not). Then I am getting my tablescape ready for Easter. This has been a so much fun. Love doing it! That's pretty much what I've been up to. Thanks for stopping by.

Lil Chick Tassel

2010-03-13T10:38:00.003-05:00

Hello Everyone,

I haven't been around for a while and just wanted to show you what I've been up to lately. Oh my goodness I've discovered in my blog surfing a whole new group of bloggers out there that do tablescapes! The are beautiful and very inspiring! As I was surfing around to the different blogs reading about them I kept seeing these decorative tassels....they seemed to be everywhere....and I hadn't heard about them! How could that be?!? So I went to several different blogs and tutorials and decided to try one myself. They aren't cheap to buy or to make mind you but I'm trying to stay busy so I was determined to make one. So here is my first attempt at a little chickie tassel. I'm rather chuffed with myself I must say! I think she turned out pretty cute! Now off to find more little goodies to make tassels out of! Where I will put them all I haven't a clue......maybe they'll become gifts who knows, but this and my crocheting of the hats for newborns is what I'm up to at the moment. This could change at any moment too. My crafting Muse is a very fickle one! She's got my creative juices flowing at the moment now though..........so hopefully I'll be busy and posting a few more projects. Maybe even a tablescape if I like it enough.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh one more little tidbit of shopping delight. Our newest shopping center. The Pavilion of Port Orange has just opened this past week there is a Home Goods and a brand spanking new Micheals and I got to go in the second the doors opened and it was all bright and shiny and new! These are two of my favorite stores! I'm like Gallagher talks about in his act. I get a glazed look in my eye hear nothing being said to me and my mantra is " I'm shopping" I guess you had to see the skit. But I'm there. Home Goods has seen me almost every day .... So many wonderful goodies there and new stuff every day! I haven't even ventured on to the other stores yet, but I have eaten at 5 guys burgers! Yummy! A great hamburger and great fries. I wouldn't want to have my cholesteral taken after eating there but I enjoyed every morsel.... Ummm-ummm! I recommend it! That's all for now!

Have a great weekend.

Nancy :)

Picture of the baby bunny hat

2010-02-27T19:48:00.000-05:00

Here is the little bunny hat I told you about that I am making for the newborns at the hospital for Easter. Aren't they so cute. The gal that created this pattern was very clever!

Thanks for taking a look.

Nancy :)

Would you look at that............

2010-02-26T21:59:00.000-05:00

After working on this blog all afternoon to get the new template up, I go and do a post about how cute it is and my blog goes all wonky.........Sorry about that. I hope it's back to normal soon.

Looky here........

2010-02-26T21:52:00.000-05:00

I'm back again with a cool online mag I just found. It's fun to look at all the cool trends and colors out there!
So if you want to take a peek here is the link Things to Love Right Now. There are some pretty wild things
on there, but some cool stuff too...............so have fun looking.
Nancy :)

It is the cutest!

2010-02-26T21:10:00.001-05:00

Isn't my new blog look just the cutest! It's so springy........and I know how much we are ready for Spring!
I love it! It was designed by Irene Alexeeva who designs for the Scrap Orchard! I just discovered her and I'm loving her digital scrapbook kits! That's what I've been up to lately and crocheting like crazy. I've been busy making baby hats for the hospital nursery. If I get time I will post the cutest little bunny hat that I made! It's just adorable. Anyway just popped in to say hello....

Wow! It's been a while since I've been here!

2010-02-09T07:15:00.002-05:00

Here is my latest paper crafting project. Very simple and small but I'm getting back in the groove. I've found some very cool blogs with some very inspiring ideas. So here goes.... Some quilled Valentine hearts. I thought they were so cute and so easy and you could whip them up in no time in front of the TV. So I made a few dozen and put them in this glass container around a candle. I thought it was pretty cute. I'm sure there a millions of things you can do with them.

I got the idea from this blog Under the Table & Dreaming. So here I am back to paper crafting and this is what caught my fancy at the moment.

Thanks for taking a look

Nancy :)

Have you seen this kitten???

2009-12-04T21:13:00.003-05:00

This is the cutest kitten! Take a look at this video..............it's absolutely adorable!

Surprised kitty!

I'll post some new cards tomorrow or Sunday. :)

This is soooo cute and soooo easy

2009-11-27T12:24:00.003-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving. We did. :) I just wanted to pop in and say hello and show the cutest little treat box you can make to hold anything you like for the holidays. It only takes 3 sheets of 12 x 12 paper and works up so quickly. I had bookmarked the tutorial, but I got to see one up close at a scrapbook store and I flipped over it. It was just so cute. If you would like to make one the instructions are found here.

Have fun and I'd love to hear what cool ideas you come up with to fill your little boxes! Happy paper crafting and enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.

Nancy :)

Another muffin top

2009-11-17T20:27:00.004-05:00

Isn't this just the cutest little penguin muffin top! I think the image is just adorable--it makes me want a cupcake. Mmmm-mmmm a devils food with white icing and sprinkles yummy!

Anyway just wanted to share my latest card with you. The image is from

Whimsie Doodles, the little evergreen punch and the snowflake punch are both from Martha Stewart. Ooooooo I got the cutest little cupcake stand at Walmart for $5 so cute! I had to get it because I knew they would be all gone the next time I went.

Okey-dokey that's all for now. My next card will be Thanksgiving...... I have to get busy on those...Have a good night.

Thanks for stopping by.

Nancy :)

Peas on Earth

2009-11-14T20:09:00.002-05:00

Isn't it the cutest little stamp! I love it! This is a free digi stamp that was offered on

the Whimsie Doodle board on Paper Craft Planet's site. I just think it is adorable! So current with

everyone going Green, Earth friendly, and trying to eat more veggies!! Thank you Melyssa

for such a cute little freebie. This might be the image I use for my Christmas cards this year! Sorry the image is a little blurry. I need to check the batteries on my camera. Looking forward to the Whimsie

Doodle release tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by have a good weekend.

Nancy :)

Isn't it the cutest is right!!

2009-11-12T07:10:00.003-05:00

This is so exciting! Over at Pink Cat Studios, Melissa had a contest where you could suggest a digi stamp idea.

Well I suggested 2 penguins under the mistletoe and she used my idea! I won the digi stamp and it is just the cutest! Here is the card I made. I was so nervous making a card for Melissa's blog so I stuck with simple.

It was so much fun. I love her digi stamps and saw several in her new releases I must have. If you haven't tried them you should. They're so cute and you get instant gratification in your email box! I hope you like my card and the idea I suggested. Check out Melissa's images. They are just the cutest! I saw a frog with a Santa hat that is a must have for me and several others too! There are loads off cute cards on her blog using the new images. Thanks Melissa for choosing my idea!

The Portfolio and thank you cards we'll be making in class

2009-11-08T19:12:00.003-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Here are some pictures of the thank you card gift set we will be making in class at Stamp & Deliver on December 1st. You will learn to make the portfolio, this sweet little shabby chic flowerI(it sparkles with glitter that the camera didn't pick up) for the front and four thank you cards to tuck inside. You will be able to make up several of these quickly for gifts. So if you would like to take the class please call Claire and sign up for it. I hope you like it.

Thanks for taking a look.

Little strawberry gift box.....

2009-11-04T17:22:00.003-05:00

This is just too sweet. This little strawberry sent me all over the place reading blogs to try to find the pattern and instructions. I first found it on the blog I was reading (love reading blogs..........people are just so clever and full of wonderful inspirational ideas) " A Sticky Situation". Joni is a very clever lady and you can see her work here.

She didn't have the pattern at the moment so I went from blog to blog to blog and finally found it! It is just the cutest little thing. Well at least I think so. You could fill them with candies like life savers, or kisses, or paper clips or anything that would fit inside. I finally found the pattern and instructions on Mushi's Creative Inspirations. which you can see here. Thank you Michelle for the pattern and great ideas. Just love 'em and plan to make more. This was just my proto type (I sound like the mad professor :) saying that in my best Boris Karloff voice). You could add rhinestones, or pearls or put it through your Cuttlebug with the dotted swiss folder. The ideas and sizes are endless. Let me know what you come up with and I would love to see them and what you're putting inside. If you have any trouble finding the pattern from my links leave a comment in the C Box to the right (be sure to put your email in--nobody else can see it) and I'll try to get you there. Wouldn't these be soooooo cute on your Christmas tree filled with goodies. :)

Have a great day!

Nancy :)

So sweet!!

2009-11-04T17:02:00.001-05:00

Well, here is the card I promised. I thought I would have it up a lot sooner but waiting for glitter to dry and choosing different background papers takes me forever. This stamp is just the cutest from Whimsie Doodles and the background paper is by American Crafts. Isn't it the sweetest. So I hope this card makes you feel cooler (still with the cool theme.....not hot flashes just very warm weather for November) and maybe a little hungry for cupcakes......I know I am. In the next post I will be showing you the sweetest little strawberry that you can put goodies in. It's just adorable so stay tuned.......

Thanks for taking a look.

Nancy :)

A little cooler........finally.....

2009-11-02T18:52:00.000-05:00

Well it's November 2 and we're finally getting some cooler weather. Yeah!!!! We can turn off the air and open the windows...........I hope for quite a while, but we'll see.

I will be posting some more cards hopefully by Wednesday. Got a new border punch today and I can't wait to try it out on a card and I have to get my samples made for my thank you note class. Speaking of punches-- Oh my gosh have you seen the new huge punches by Martha Stewart. They are humungous! I think it would be more for a scrapbook page. I haven't seen anyone use them yet, but I'll keep my eyes open and let you know.

I think I'm going to run over and see Claire either tomorrow or Wednesday. See what new goodies she has in and what's going on in the store. I'll let you know what treasures I find.
Have a good evening and the next time I post there will be some cards for you all to see.

Another cutie pie

2009-10-30T22:46:00.002-04:00

As you can see I have cooler weather on my mind. I just love this little guy. It is another digital stamp. This one is from Mo's Digital Pencil. It's called Winter Delivery. I just think

it's so cute! Used a combination of my markers and colored pencil for shading. The sp is from Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. An EK success punch and a cuttlebug embossed piece of red cardstock. I used flower soft again for the snow. I just love the effect it gives. Hope you enjoyed taking a look.

Cold please.........

2009-10-30T22:43:00.001-04:00

I've finally gotten some time to create more cards. This is another digi stamp. Isn't she the cutest. I love the snow and the fur on her hat which I used white flower soft on! It looks so cold and wintery which we could use right now with these record high temps! Just wanted to share. I hope you like it. All you yanks send us some cool weather down here please......

Flutter By Wednesday Challenge #81

2009-10-28T14:08:00.000-04:00

Here is my card for the Flutter By Wednesday #81 challenge over at Danni's Dreams. I used PTI Hibiscus burst for the card and PTI matching ribbon. The other background paper is by by Crate Paper and is called

Kaitlin Collection Scribbles. The butterfly is a Cuttlebug die cut. Thanks for taking a look.

Cute little owl.......

2009-10-27T19:52:00.000-04:00

Isn't this little owl just the cutest! Thought I'd work with some thank you cards since that is also what we'll be making in an upcoming class. Just love this little owl. It is a digi stamp and I colored her using my sharpies, and bics since I haven't sprung for copics yet. Hopefully I'll be able to post some more cards this week. Have a great day and thanks for taking a look. :)

It's been a while............

2009-10-27T19:51:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone,
Well I'm back. It seems I have been so busy lately with one thing and another that
I haven't had time to post anything or make any cards for my blog. I have been tinkering
around with some templates and came up with this little box today. Isn't it just the cutest. This may be the box we use to put our thank you cards in for my upcoming class. It won't look exactly like this, but I really like how this one turned out. So please leave a comment if you like this one too and would like to see it in the upcoming class.

An Autumn card and Two great little tools that I love

2009-10-05T19:56:00.001-04:00

This is another card sketch that I just loved. Had to give it a try and this is what I came up with. Love the Penny Black stamps, they are just so cute! Hope you like it! This post is a little long because I did a little review on two of my new favorite tools. Be looking for more cards this week.

I picked up these great little tools that are two of my favs at the moment from Claire at my local stamp store, Stamp & Deliver.

Tim Holtz's paper distressing tool by Tonic. Love this thing

The distressing tool does a really nice job on the edges of your paper. It makes your paper look very thick and gives a lot of depth to your card.

The second one is the Quickie glue pen by Sukura. This pen lays down a wonderful fine line of glue that you can add glitter, flower soft, or foil to. It's a great little pen-- I love it. Gets into all those tiny little hard to get to areas. You've got to give them a try.

Where did the weekend go...........

2009-10-04T20:33:00.006-04:00

I was looking at several blogs this weekend and found a wonderful one that belongs to Denise Marzec of The Paper Landscaper. She has some terrific card ideas. I loved the sketches she used. I cased a few of them and this is one of them but my version.

She has several more wonderful cards on her site which I can't wait to try the sketches for so keep watching for new cards this week. Thank you Denise for such wonderful inspiring cards! Have a wonderful evening and like I said keep watching for more cards this week.

Beautiful weather.....

2009-09-30T18:14:00.001-04:00

Today is so beautiful. The temp is in the high 70's and we can open the house up and let some fresh air in! What a wonderful feeling! Some relief from the heat. It probably won't stick around for long,

but we might actually get to put on a hoodie and snuggle. Yay! The card for today I made for the SplitCoast Stamper Challenge. I can't believe I've made cards for several days. My muse must be hanging out in my craft room for a while. That's a good thing as Marth would say. :) I hope you like it!

NOT--Isn't It The Cutest

2009-09-29T22:28:00.001-04:00

Well this card is far from the cutest. It's pretty creepy................this is so not me.
I'm all about cute! Loved this raven stamp though and just watched a thing about Poe
KAZAN'S Sketch #36

Another little Goodie!

2009-09-27T16:19:00.001-04:00

Hello, Just wanted to pop in to show you another cute little goodie you can make for someone special this Halloween. I got the template from Nichole Heady's site last year to be used as Christmas Ornaments! I thought how cute it would be as a little haunted birdhouse filled with candy or any other treasure you like!

I just think it is the cutest! If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and please leave comments!

We all love comments. Thanks for taking a look. Oh...........and I heard a cold front is coming and it may get down in the mid to high 60's at night! Yay! Let's hope fall is arriving at last!

Halloween Basket and card

2009-09-25T14:57:00.000-04:00

Isn't this just the cutest? I just love the shape of this basket and have so many ideas floating around in my head for different designs and uses. Can't wait to make a couple for Thanksgiving and Christmas! It was so much fun to make. The template is by Lauren Meader and can be purchased here. Everything else I used can be purchased at Stamp & Deliver! The spider brads, scrapbook paper:Doodlebug Designs and Nestibilities were used on the front of the basket for the focal point and the stamps are from Shirley's 2 girls. I just think it is the cutest and can't wait to make several more. It's easy peasy :) What do you think? The border was made with a MS punch(that's from Michaels)

Froggie shaker

2009-09-25T07:09:00.000-04:00

Isn't this the cutest! See I say it all the time. Anyway this is a little shaker card I made for Halloween that I thought might get you in the Holiday spirit..............Ewwwwwww----eeeeeeeee-ewwwwwwww! Hum that in your most eerie way! :) So here it is .....one of my Halloween cards! All the paper and supplies that I used for this can be purchased from Claire at Stamp & Deliver. These little domes make shaker cards so easy because they have an adhesive on the back and are slim enough to be mail able. Cool! Hope you like it. Have a great day!

Sit Back Chillax and have a Cup of Tea

Hello and welcome to Isn't this the Cutest! I'm not very good at keeping up with my blog, but I hope to be able to do some card challenges and add my cards to my blog to share with you. I'm working on a few goodies for Halloween and will be posting them soon!

We're all getting a bit tired of the heat now and hoping to feel a bit of fall in the air, but summer just won't let go here in Florida. We're not asking for a lot, just temps in the low 80's during the day in the 70's at night. That's fall like for us. In fact the 70's are getting rather chilly for my family and we have to put on a sweater or sweatshirt. The Monarch butterflies are fluttering around the back yard and we're hoping to find some eggs and caterpillars on the milkweed very soon. I hope you'll be back to visit my blog and check out my cards and creations.
