Coming Soon.....

Ahhhh, the agony of not having enough time in the day to post!!! Well, I figured if I actually posted something saying I am going to show you my latest project that has been consuming my time, I will just have to make the time to post!!!
Soooo, I have been committed to making recipe tins to store all of my gems of recipes that I have collected for the last 30 some years! I promise to post photos, instructions and "my version of the divider card" in the weeks to come. So check back often for updates or follow my blog - cause you won't want to miss this one!
Cheers

It's about that time again....those who have been asking and waiting with baited breath....I will be opening up a NEW Stampers 10 group up in March called INKed Mah-mah's!!!! Now, all silliness aside now in the name, you don't have to "physically" be a Mah-mah to be part of this amazing group of gals!!! You do, however, need to be willing to enjoy yourself for 2-3 hours once a month!!!! Do any of these things interest you.....




If I've tweaked your imagination in the slightest, send me an email to bella013175@hotmail.com and I will reserve a spot for you and maybe even a couple of your girlfriends!!!! What are you waiting for? Let's get INKed!!!!

So I thought I would share some photos from the day....
Enjoy!

What's That Lassie....Jasper's In The Creek???

So as some of you may have noticed, I hadn't posted in awhile - as I have had alot going on. I have just started a new job and am enjoying that immensely!!! Meeting alot of great new people, as well as learning the ropes of the business. I had some "family time" planned as well, and we had 10 great days with my parents, brother, and other family members back home last month as well.
I thought I would share a little story about our travels with you. While out relaxing at the farm, I had decided one day to take the pooch for a walk. As we headed down the 2 mile lane, I was snapping pictures of nature, and this was the last thing I saw of my dog.....gazing off into the distance, watching the ducks take off of the water....

Suddenly, he was no where to be found. As panic settled in, I frantically called out for him, hearing whimpers coming from further down the road, at the base of the creek. Now, I know you cannot understand the depth in this next photo, but it is VERY deep!!!! Soooo deep that I could not reach the soaken wet puppy that was whimpering for help. He was like Lassie, only I think he was saying "Little Jasper fell down the creek, help get me out!!" It took a few moments, which seemed like for hours, as the grass was soooo long it was hard at times to see where he was. Finally, I dug my shoes into the road, and reached deep down and managed to grab him by the edge of his collar and flail him out!!! OMG!!! I was so happy to see him. We carried on our walk down to the water, where he stayed out of the ditch with the long grass only for the first 2 minutes - what a short memory!!!!

This is him mimicking a beaver that he saw swimming in the water!!! What a goof!!

And here he is all wet and muddy from his adventures...he had the time of his life!!!

Onesie, Twosie, Threesie....

Have been dying to use the new Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel from SU, as I love these little outfits!

I made three different versions of this card, one in Marina Mist & Crumb Cake, one in Melon Mambo & Crumb Cake, and the third one is all three colors together...for the person that doesn't know what they are having - are there still these people out there????
I rolled them out, cut them out, colored them up, and popped them up!!!

Here is a shot of all three versions!

I also used the new Vintage Wall embossing folder, for some added texture to the card.
Hope you enjoy!!!
