Little bit of inspiration.

It feels like forever since I've made a card.

Well I recently ordered some stamps from

WhipperSnapperdesigns.com

I've had this idea for a card since I got them.

I used Pallette ink, StampinUp! cardstock, and Prisma pencils.

Look what I did!!

Have you all seen purses made by Very Bradley?

Well as I have said before I'm always looking for a good deal.

I decided that I could maybe make one that looks just as good.

I went to Joann Fabrics one day and thought I would look for

a pattern and see if I could put one together.

Mine is pictured above. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Trying to be creative.....

Here's a little project I thought I would share.

I purchased this box at our local Wal-mart in Bad Axe.

It's a paper mache box that was in the clearance isle.

As soon as I saw it, I knew I could decorate it up.

I used paper that I had won at the Michigan Mingle back in March,

then used StampinUp! stamps for the wording, and an

image that I got from one of my small gathering.

Pretty cute, huh?

Co-worker gifts.

This past March I went away for a weekend with

my On-line Ladies. These are friends I have made while

chatting over on Splitcoaststampers.com. For the last 3 years

a few wonderful ladies have planned a weekend for all of us

to get together. The first year was Birch Run,

2nd year; Bay Valley Golf and Resort, and

3rd was this year at the Double Tree in Novi.

Originally when I booked my spot, I thought I had the weekend

off. But as it turned out, I had to work. Two wonderful ladies

Marlene Klee and Melissa Glaza were gracious enough to cover

my shift. So to show my gratitude, I made them little gift boxes.

I reused some boxes from a StampinUp! order, decorated them

using DSP paper and some ribbon I got from work.

I thought they turned out very nice!

Farm going on's.....

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Have been busy

on the farm. The last few weeks I've picked stones with Dan

and his brother Andy. I got to drive the tractor so that wasn't

too bad.

For today's post, I thought I would introduce the newest

piece of equipement to our farm family/fleet:

A Case IH Magnum 190 Dan and I went and picked this bad boy up on

Tuesday of this week. Didn't really plan on using it this early in the season,

but there was a slight accident with the tractor that Dan was going to use.

I accidently shot a stone, with the lawn mower,

at the tractor Dan was in and shattered the door.

As you can see with the one above, the door is all glass. Dan thought someone

had shot it out with a gun. Well after some colorful language,

he called the dealership to see if this tractor was ready and to

order a new door. Hopefully it will be in next week.

Until then Dan gets to use the new one, and I don't get to cut

the grass around any of the machinery.

Good evening from the county of snow!
We got quite a dumping over night from a
snow front coming our way.

I was going to post pics tonight, but then realized,
I don't have them saved on my thumb drive and
will have to try again tomorrow.

Sorry about that, but I want you all to know
I'm thinking of you.

Hugs to all!

Kentucky Machinery Farm Show

Welcome back!

No, not me, You!

I have been quite slack in my blog posting.

With the holidays and being busy with the farm and

family members, needing my time I haven't been a very good

blog girl.

I thought I would start off by letting you all know about our

recent, quick trip to the Kentucky Machinery Farm Show this past week.

It was a chance for Dan and I to take a little vacation,

while doing farm business.

The show was at

Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky.

One word: WOW!

There were so many vendors there showing new equipment,

gadgets of all kinds,

and many new ideas to make farming easier and better.

We had to find the CASE IH corner,

cause friends don't let

friends drive green.

It was a great time!
