Vickie Quickie...

Hi to everyone!  Hot, hot, hot here in North Carolina. Hope all of you had a terrific 4th of July weekend! I stopped by Nana Vic's and checked out the Vickie Quickie for July 1st - 15th. Here is what I put together to go with her generously offered free image. Go check it out and throw your card (or menu or recipe card...you'll see what I mean if you drop by and read the comments) into the ring.

Hugs to you all!

What a joy to be back online!!!

Hi to everyone! I have missed everyone soooooo much! I'm not sure how often I will be able to post now. I finally have a printer again...hooray!

Nana Vic is offering a free digital image that is just too wonderful for her Vickie's Quickie. This is the card I made with the image.

I do so hope you all have missed me just a fraction of how much I have missed all of you. There are so many e-mails I need to write. I am now in North Carolina but missing Georgia. I can't really say where I will settle. Let's see...North Carolina? Georgia? North Carolina? Georgia?  lol  Have to decide soon...getting too old for many more moves!

Still have health issues that I am having to deal with. I am about 45 minutes from the Durham VA medical center. Duke University Hospital is right next door and their interns/doctors work heavily with the VA here. I am hoping that will mean a better quality of medical care.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful 4th of July! Happy birthday, America, and thank you to all of my fellow veterans and the many current active duty military personnel. Freedom isn't free...it's fought for! Hug a veteran!

What a joy to be back online!!!

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with family and friends! Mine was very quiet...missing my family.
Well, I don't have any wonderful Happileigh Scrappin' images for you today.  Something a little different for you. I have been wanting to take these photos for almost two weeks now and finally quit procrastinating.
This is a photo taken this morning of the wreath on my front door. I can hear you saying..."So?"  Bear with me, please.

This next shot is a very close shot of the same wreath. Can you see the fluff towards the bottom right corner?

Can't see it?  Look just a little closer....

Isn't God and nature amazing? I check on the nursery every day. The eggs are getting a little darker every day...guess it's the babes growing. Mom and dad visit every day and sit with the eggs. They have even been known to attack visitors. I'll try to keep all of you up to date.

Have a blessed day!!

Happy Monday!

Happileigh Scrappin' has new releases for today...

Happy Monday to everyone! It is an especially happy Monday around my house! During a recent move, a so-called friend (no longer called a friend) took off with my printer. That means I can no longer print digital images. Leigh has been gracious enough to allow me to showcase her new releases for her (BIG HUGS, Leigh).

Well, that explanation done with, I will go ahead with my reason for this post. That is to show you what Leigh has cooked up for today's release. She always delights with her images and she continues to do so this week. I always love all of her images, but really love the look and feel of Tulip Time...

Just too pretty for words...to me, at least. This image would be suitable for spring, Easter, Mother's Day; just too many occasions to list. And then there is Tea Cup Stack (I just love Leigh's tea cups and tea pots!). This pretty image would suit itself for any one of several occasions, as well.

Aren't they just too pretty for words? And then we have Scraggly Bear....

This little guy is just adorable! I just wish I could print him out and send him on his way to my youngest grandson!  But ya'll can!  Just hop on over to the Happileigh Scrappin' Store and you can own any of these images. Don't forget to stay up-to-date with the challenges always going on at Happileigh Scrappin' Challenge. You never know what's going on there...you might even drop in on a royal wedding.

Oh, I can't leave you this week without letting you know that Leigh is offering a sweet deal this week.  Anyone who purchases three digis will get one image free plus a free Mother's Day sentiment. So drop by the store to take advantage of this offer.

In closing for this week, I want to jump back and say thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you who expressed their love to me. I have missed everyone terribly and I am so glad to back with all of you!

Just like a bad penny... ; )

...I keep turning up...lol!! I hope to be able to resume some DT work just as soon as there are openings for me again. I have soooo missed all of you and my contact with you all and working with all my previous DT sisters. I had two angels come to my aid during this time...I will thank each of you personally (you know who you are) just as soon as I can locate the emails notifying me of your help (I have 4,767 emails to sort through, so please be patient with me)!! Your help was surprisingly unexpected and was received with much gratitude.

I have settled most of the issues at hand and have come out okay...not smelling like roses yet, but on my way. You can't keep a stubborn redhead down for long!

I look forward to regaining contact with my old friends and making new ones every day. May God bless you all for keeping me in your thoughts...you have truly warmed my heart!!

Doodle Pantry Guest Designer for March...

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday to you all! I have been chosen by Laurie Wilson of Doodle Pantry as a Guest Designer for her team for the month of March. Ya'll should really get over to the Doodle Pantry New Release and Challenge Blog and check out the challenges.

You can't beat how easy this challenge is...just use a Doodle Pantry image which you can find in the store. You won't leave empty-handed for a lack of something to choose from! I'm using Laurie's new Fancy Shoe image here...

I used generic card stock for my base card and the pink layer. The Fancy Shoe image is printed on GP white card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils. I suppose you can say the majority of the card is "green" because most of it is recylcled goodies.  The lace and the roses have been long separated from any labeling so I can't give the manufacturer's proper credit. I fell in love with this shoe image as soon as I saw it and I am pleased that I get to use it.
Don't forget to stop by the store..you will find so much more to want to take home. You can check out the entire design team and there sites just by visiting  the design team page.

A temporary good-bye...

or, I hope, a "see you later". My thanks go out to each of you for following my blog and for my Design Team group owners, each and every one, for putting your faith in me and for continuing to stay with my blog efforts. I have had an unforeseen personal matter intrude in my efforts to be a successful member of the individual design teams and to be productive for them.
I hope that, in approximately three months, I will be able to return. If not in a DT position, at least as a productive blogging community member. Please keep visiting my teams...they are (every one) fantastic artists and just all-around wonderful people and groups to deal with!!! I will post personally as often as I can in the coming few months. Don't give up on me...nothing has kept me down for long so far, so I hope to continue to be a part of your lives soon!!
BIG {{HUGS}} and blessings to each of you!!

A temporary good-bye...
