Coming soon - Operation Write Home Blog Hop

I signed up to be a part of the MEMORIAL DAY BLOGHOP.

Come back when it starts for a weekend full of beautiful cards and many giveaways.

Whimsey Haven

I used this sketch:

To make this card:


I usually don't post the same card two times. But I thought it would be too confusing to include this challenge in the Opus Gluei post. I have been making cards to send to OPERATION WRITE HOME. And this sketch seemed perfect for this little froggy.

If you are interested in possibly winning these markers go here for the details.

Thanks for looking.

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, all you have to do is draw...

This week's challenge at Opus Gluei is to be inspired by the seasons. Luckily, I have a set of stamps from Stampin' Up entitled "A Flower for all Seasons", or something like that. But that isn't my inspiration for this challenge, but rather a tool to use my inspiration.

Here are the cards I made. One for each season.

Can you guess the inspiration?

(There is a hint in the pictures of each card.)

Winter

SPRING




SUMMER

FALL

Have you guessed it yet?

It's the markers.

I have duplicates of these markers. So I want to give the extras away.

Go over to Opus Gluei to see the details about the drawing.

See you over there...

Earthling Gets Make-Over. News at 11.

I like it much better now.

8 of these are going to Operation Write Home.

Along with about 100 other cards me and my daughters have made.

Menu Monday - (The real story.)

Usually I am pretty good about cooking 4-5 nights of the week.

This last week was so CRAZY that here is what really happened...

SUNDAY

The week started out pretty good.

MONDAY

Danny had a late meeting.

Chinese is the standard fare on those nights.

Still not so bad.

TUESDAY

Day spent carting oldest kid with knee pain to docs.

Meal could have been better.

WEDNESDAY

Had to feed them all by 5:20.

This was the best I could come up with.

THURSDAY

Busy schedule. Route took me right past here.

FRIDAY

Tradition. Just ask Melissa.

SATURDAY

Now we're getting back on track.

Okay, so maybe it wasn't THAT bad.

But still, next week WILL be better.

.

I promise.

Pinky swear.

Happy Friday, Earthlings!

It's cute. But needs more.

WHAT?

Help!!!


HAPPY FRIDAY

Friday Fill-Ins # 177

And...here we go!

1. Glueing things together never fails to make me smile.

2. I'm looking forward to SUMMER.

3. A quiet, emtpy office is what I'm listening to right now.

4. Potato salad must have fairy dust in it! (It's one of my weaknesses.)

5. That Chicken Caesar wrap I had for lunch was the best think I ate today.

6. Today was looking pretty bleak until I had lunch, now I am all better and today isn't looking so bad. Plus it's getting closer and closer to quittin' time.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to QUITTING TIME, tomorrow my plans include sniffing some glue and a smokin' hot date and Sunday, I want to paint something.
