Bargello in Blue

Just another bargello card. I had fun with the cloud background. I'm head on vacation for a short time. "See" ya when I get back and have a great day!

Bargello Card

This card was made using the bargello technique. It's fast and pretty easy and if you make a whole sheet it's totally worth it. Have a great day.

More summer fun

We got some new pets. We've already had one casualty. Lets see how long the snail and other fishies can make it.



Wild bird show at the library. Pretty cool. They had many different varieties.
Hollyhocks are finally in bloom. I can't wait to see the red, yellow and white ones I planted.
Jonah cruisin' around on his walker. I can't believe he's already nine months old!
Eating Gelato at Berry Ocean with friends after eating Indian and seeing the PROPOSAL (Super Funny: highly recommend it). Yum.
Going up to Sandia Peak with my Mama. That's ABQ down there.
Father's Day 2009. I will TREASURE this picture. Jonah hardly EVER falls asleep on us. So sweet.
Someone enjoyed my chocolate a little too much...the little sneak. He even looks a little guilty here.
Tessa and Aaron making spaghetti dogs at Debbie's house. They were fun and gross.
Going to see UP in 3D with NeNe Heather. It was really good.
I got to see my old friend Paulette. It was nice to catch up.
My little Jonah in his super cute swim trunks chomping on his pizza crust. I love summer.
Cedar Crest Ward Campout. Not too far from where we live...we stayed up late playing Would You Rather and the sunset was gorgeous. The boys had a blast poking sticks in the fire and everyone enjoyed smores.
Radishes from the garden. They're going crazy. I don't mind them in salads but we're on overload with them right now. You should see the size of the turnips we have too.
Tessa helped me make scrambled eggs and grits for breakfast...she basically cooked the eggs all by herself.

Rainbow Stitched

Had a little fun with this one. Wish I could've blended my colors a little better. I like this simplicity and colorfulness of this one. I hope my friend does too!
Have a great day

Simple Sympathy

Travis' Nana passed away a couple of weeks ago. It was a hard ending as she developed Alzheimer's. We will definitely miss her and so will the kids. I made this card for Trav's mom to let her know that we were thinking of them even though we couldn't be there for the funeral. His mom loves purple, I hope this card will ease a little of the pain she feels from the loss of her mother. I don't even want to imagine...

My Messy Tessie

Tessa sure knows how to run with the boys...she has to! Here she is in all her cuteness, playing with slime. I'm truly grateful to have at least one little girl. She likes to dress up and put on polish, but you can be sure she'll be right alongside her brothers in that mud puddle when it rains. Have a great day!

Feel Better

I made this card for my blog buddy, Jenn's, dad. It took me a while to get it done because of my craft room being in such a disarray. I like that it's not too feminine but still looks pretty. Someone gave me the really distressed paper, it's stiff and thick. The label is from Cute & Curly. We're off to go camping tonight. Have a great day.

Wating for you Jonah

Here's a pretty simple lo I did the other night at a scrap get together. I love this stamp set from Impression Obsession. I stamped it in Cranberry Crisp and then used my gel pen to add the white to each flower. The chip letters are Li'l Davis. I have Jonah's birth story written down and want to do so many more pages for my little man. Hope you're having a great day!

Summer fun: some 365 for ya

My mom comes t visit and Tessa takes a picture. Cute, huh?
This is what happens when you tell your four year old to go and get ready for church! I think his pants are even on backwards. He was totally serious too. Here's how he looks after a little help from mom.

I know it doesn't look like much now, but it's so much better than the grass and weeds that WERE growing here (which I had to dig up one shovel full at a time). I'm trying to be conscious of the fact that we do live in the desert and still have a nicely landscaped "yard". I've planted hundreds of native wildflower seeds and they're sprouting up everywhere!!!!!

Who wouldn't want a boat named after them but Travis said no to the 2 grand.

My living room yesterday! Holy Moly!

In sympathy...

I made this understated card for a dear friend of mine who recently lost her little one. She moved to be closer to family and we miss her terribly but know that it's the right thing for her and her family. Sorry for the horrible picture.
