JOY


I really love to make a card in total BLACK AND WHITE ONLY! Then for the punch line I add ONE SPLASH OF COLOR! It never fails me..... I love them! PP was from my stash of scraps, the sentiment letters is by American Crafts. Bazzill for the flower's button. I smeared white acrylic paint on the button with my finger. Thin strips of CS were cut and curled to add to the center. Flower was from good old Dollar Tree.... TFL Peggy 5x7 size

Happy Sunday

I just about feel like I've lost my Mojo.... Being off from crafting since the first of June has about killed me worse than my back! I am still trying to get better, and I've had several procedures done to the back. Nothing so far has been helping. I will see the surgeon again next Friday week. I think he may be leaning towards Surgery #2.... We only fixed HALF of the problem. The next sugery would involve placing rods and screws in the back as well. Not what I'm hoping for. The daily pain is not fun either.

I've been also working ever so slowly on some things for a fall class I still hope to have. Trying to do the prepping all alone and it has not gone fast at all. grrrrr. But still plugging away.

Boy was the weather hot again this weekend with high humidity. The pool felt great and thankful we have it. That is one relaxation I'm able to do without the back brace on.

Take care..... I've really enjoyed everyone's blogs. That keeps me going...... hugs.....

To a wonderful You from Thankful Me....

GOLF IS BETTER THAN SEX!


This is a cute image sent to me by my friend Kim from Cuppas..... I needed a fun birthday card for Chris and since he loves golf this was it to help him celebrate turning 35! Copics used for coloring, magnolia tree, golf ball is from a gift card I cut apart, Happy Birthday greeting is from Hero Arts, Papers are all from my scrap bin. Crystal Lacquer was used over the leaves for shine.
Inside verse reads: If your equipment gets old you can replace it!
His dad is enclosing a round or two of golf at a nearby resort for him too. Purple and gold colors were used due to LSU colors! GO TIGERS!!!!!
Thanks for looking!
