What a week.  I finally went to the orthopedic doctor after trying to heal thy self.  He was able to draw out over an ounce of fluid from my knee.  What a differece  No pain today!  Now I was able to sits down an do some scrapping.  The first is a card that  was just fooling around with Distress markers.  So grateful to You Tube.  I don't think that there isn't a thing that you cannot find on there.  Then I decided to play with my Kiwi Lane templates and learning how to weld letters on my explore.l  Again, You Tube came in handy.  These were pictures from last spring from n art fair in Jupiter, Fl.  I still need to think of my journaling, but I thought that I would show it to you know.  Journaling is my weak spot in scraping.  Thanks for taking a look.

Here are the Christmas cards that I just finished from the kCTMH Workshop on the Go collection.  There are a toto of 15 cards with  envelopes.  Once I got the cutting and stamping done,  it took no time at all to get them put together.  You can go to my site:  scrappygirl123.ctmh.com and click on October party to order this or other products.  Don't forget your stamp of the month for $5.00 with a $50.00 order.  Start your holiday shopping now for yourself and your scrappy friends,  If you decide to host an online party, you can earn free and 50% off items.  Happy shopping.

I finally to this card done yesterday.  I am still new at using my Cricut Explore.  This took me 5 tries to get it sized correctly.  Whew!, I think I finally have it down pat.  Our anniversary is tomorrow, the 17th.  Let's see if hubby remembers.  I have not given him any reminders yet.  I might not leave this in the bathroom tonight after he goes to sleep like I usually do.  What do you think?

As promised, here are a few photos.  first is Harper, then Max and Finally Bruno, my new puppy.

Here is a Tim Holtz tag that I did a few weeks ago.  Right now I am not working on any projects as I just had some surgery on Monday, and am not allowed to raise my arms for a few more days.  Will write and show you  ASAP.

Thanks for looking.

It has been a few years since I have written on my blog.  Just to catch you up a little, I now have three grandchildren.  I just love visiting with them.  My eldest, ?Max is almost 2 1/2 years old and lives in Washington state.  The middle one, Jett, lives in Connecticut, and the baby is Harper, living in Las Vegas.   I gave been retired for a little over a year for medical reasons.  I recently bought a Yorkie,Bruno.  He is such a joy to me, keeping me company during the day.  Thanksgiving this year will be in our house.  Three grandchildren and a dog.  Should be complete chaos, but I am looking forward to it.  It will be the first time that I will have all three together at the same time!  So, for now, that is my crazy life.  I have also become a consultant for Close To My Heart.  I love their stamps, and they have teamed up with Provo craft for their own cricut cartridges.  For now, I will just let you absorb this info and look back on the previous years.  I will get to all the crafty stuff in a day or so along with pictures.
