flashback friday

Amy Tsuruta is hosting flashback friday. She wants us to flash back to the first card we posted. I gotta tell ya, it took me 45 minutes of searching to finally find it. Here on this post from March19, 2009.

Amy is giving us until August 20th at 11:59pm PDT to re-blog our first cards. Then she'll use a random # picker to pick a winner of some blog candy. How cool is she? Even if you don't win the candy, you win. Cuz how cool is it to see where you've been and how far you've come.

Wow. I have had my blog since December 19, 2007 and it took me that long to finally start making cards. Anyway, this card was made for two challenges. Papertake Weekly (include something edible) and 365 Cards (make a birthday card without words.)






This is one I would make again. Sort of. Now I would add some bling. Maybe lots of bling. I still like it.

Whatcha Reading Wednesday...August 18th

This week we are to type in the last sentence of the eight chapter.

As always, please warn of any SPOILERS.

"All that distance, and fast, and by herself."

Let me know what you're reading.

Got time for a quickie?

Got 15 minutes?

Have I got an offer for YOU!

I made a set of four general purpose cards in about 15 minutes.

That included set-up and clean-up.

4 Stamps

2 Ink Pads

2 pieces of 8.5 by 11 cardstock

Bone folder

(Lifted from my Stampin' Up Club Project from a few months ago.)

What were you thinking?

Up for a good scrap....

....of paper or stickers or cardstock. Or whatever is lying around in your Studio. The challenge at OPUS GLUEI this week is to use up some of those goodies you have lying around. (Or in a drawer or cupboard.)

Mine are pretty simple. But I like them. And that's what counts. Right?!?!?!

I'm also working on 3 bookmarks that I am swapping on Swap-bot. I'll show them later. Maybe. I don't know why I don't always remember to take pics of the swaps I send out. Silly, I know. But I seem to forget to take pics. Sometimes I get lucky and remember before I mail them out. I have been known to rip open an envelope to take pics. Ha ha ha.

Grab a helmut and pop some corn, it's movie time.

Talk about dressing for the movies....

Pulled Pork - Lick the Bowl Good

I made Monica's Pulled Pork for dinner Thursday night. YUM.

Friday Fill-Ins

And...here we go!

1. Music soothes my soul and awakens my spirit.

2. A cuppa caffiene is what I like first thing in the morning.

3. The first thing I said this morning was: Good Morning Zeke.

4. Leftovers; it's what's for dinner tonight.

5. It's all been for the best.

6. Painting is what I feel like doing right now.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to nothing, glorious nothing-ness, tomorrow my plans include a Stampin Party and playing in my Studio and Sunday, I want to go to the beach in the morning and then I HAVE to take #1 DD shopping!
