Two by Two FMS # 138

Freshly Made Sketches # 138 is a good sketch challenge. I don’t always get to post but try to get into the grove when I can. This card isn’t exactly along the sketch but fun never the less.

Here is the recipe:
Paper: Whisper White cs for the base; Marina Mist for the tag: layer is WW cs.
Ink: Rose Red
Stamp: Two by Two (retired) and Baby We’ve Grown
Flower Brad: Bakers Twine and Scalloped Tag Topper

Any one interested in learning how to do this can get in touch with me. We will learn together. I have collected a lot of information over the years and if I can’t answer your questions I know where to find someone who can.

There is more but for now…Remember this is the day the Lord has made….Rejoice

It’s done, well almost.

The garden that is. We have been trying to get the garden planted for ever… either too wet so too much else going on, but now the tomatoes, cream peas, okra, kale, purple ” green ” beans are finally in the ground. Still need to get some cuks planted and we only planted two yellow squash plants. Some times they just produce way more than I can cook up or put up. There are four bell pepper plants but no banana peppers. The freezer is full of banana peppers.
The carrots from the fall garden are still producing and we replanted the beets. Are they good or what? Now the health news is full of information on the greatness of beets.
Gabriel loves to pull carrots. Now if only he will learn to eat them. They are so sweet and tender and so good for us.
When every thing gets really going I will snap a picture so ya’ll can see the progress. Now this only counts if they really get going. the last two years have been real duds. With food prices going up every week and going to get even higher things really NEED to get going.

Memorial Weekend is a time to be thankful for all of those who have fought for the freedom we have very little of today. Please remember them while BBQ and water sports are the fair of the weekend. Also think about joining OWH ( Operation Write Home) and send a card to” Any Hero” or get in touch with me and come make cards for those who are still fighting for our freedoms. It’s a feel good kinda thing.

Until later… this is the Lords day…Rejoice!

WELL…

Any one reading this blog has probably figured out I am having trouble learning the ropes. I’ll get there but some things are out of my control. Like not being able to get the pictures from the camera to the blog without a serious headache.

Oh… the weather has been sooo nice. Cool at night which means no air con. needed and very comfortable during the day. We went to the Square Affair this morning. Crafts and “old” cars with a truck or two  are always fun to visit. Not sure I want to join the circus of craft fairs. Didn’t seem to be many people buying and it is expensive to sit these things up. Some of the vendors came from a long way and I do hope someone bought more than I was able to.

Do have plants ready to put in the garden next week. It is going to be another beautiful weather week I think. Of course “they” could change it over night. Happens often. Rose Bud store carries Bonnie plants and they look good ,we will see what happens. The last two years of gardens have been duds. We really need for the garden to do really well this year.

Ok..I’m out of her for tonight.  Sleep well and remember tomorrow is the Lords day ( just like every day) Rejoice!

Well…don’t know what is going on here. the picture is in the gallery but will not load to WordPress.  i have got to get anew system or go crazy .

The weather here has been beyond perfect. Mildly warm day, cool nights . No rain ,little breeze..what more could any one ask for. this certainly make cleaning up from the terrible storms a whole lot easier. Prayers continue for those involved.

Saturday we had a fun 4 year old birthday party for my grandson. Lots of kido’s and parents too. fun, fun, fun. Now after Mothers Day  and my DH birthday( which is the same day ) we will get ready for a 1 year birthday party  , then  a 2 year old party a few weeks later.  Goodness. Party, party, party.

Now , as soon as I figure out why the pictures won’t load, I’ll show you the cards I made for a couple of challenges. unfortunately I’ve missed the cut off on at least one of them.

Maybe I can show you the picture of the front of our new 2014-2015 Stampin’Up! catalog. Maybe, we will see.

No, it wouldn’t come in either. I’ll try later… Until then…Have a great day
