Many Thanks

Hey everyone. I hope everyone is having a great fall like day. It's nice here kind of cold but sunny. I am glad the rain has gone away. This weekend there was a lot going on. My fiance was suppose to install my new desk this weekend but it was not finished yet. BUT THE AWESOME PART OF MY WEEKEND..... wait for it.... wait for it.... I GOT A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!! Exciting.... the only sucky part about a desktop is when I want to Skype... lol I do not sit down long enough in one spot. I am always running around the house cleaning, picking up after my daughter, or in my second favorite place the kitchen. So everything is set up now and I am using it. 

So onto the newest challenge

Good EARLY MORNING craft ladies and gents! I am so hoping that as you read this I am awake and at the gym working off the gained eating cake, ice cram, and candy this week.  Which is really really really funny because the new challenge today over at

Paper Cutz

is

#116 "GOBBLE GOBBLE"

Make something for Thanksgiving incorporating your favorite recipe...

Of course now you see why this is bad for me. I am an eater, and not just any kind of eater. I love southern foods (which can kill you) and sweets. I am a sucker for anything I can bake. I have of course over the last three years modified recipes and experimented to make things healthier to eat, but still a sweet treat is still SWEET! In fact this weekend, I will be having a go at cranberry bread and sweet potato "pie" bread. Of course cranberries are healthy and so are sweet potatoes. I will be adjusting my sugars and omitting glazes, but mmm if I can snack on it breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and not feel guilty I think I deserve a thumbs up!

Now onto my card. I used an older maggie. I colored her with copics, added some gems, some stitching, used SB dies, MME cardstock, a SU sentiment and real red ink, and Wild Orchid Flowers.

Scarecrow

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know there is a new challenge over at

Paper Cutz

The challenge is SCARECROWS... 

but yellow, brown, black, white, blue, and orange are the only colors you can use.

So stop on by and play with us for this fun theme!

This was a doozey for me because I have never seen a scarecrow besides on the Wizard of Oz. So in search I went for a scarecrow. I love Mo images and I got this scarecrow for her site. (PLEASE RESPECT HER IMAGES AS WELL AS OTHER ANGEL POLICIES for stamps). I just happened to have a scarecrow button I cut the button hoop off of the back so it would lay flat. I used some ribbon from RRR and my sentiment is from SU. My papers are DCWV and KC & Company and I colored him with copics... once again a challenge. This is my second attempt to coloring him. My first attempt accidentally got reprinted over because I wanted to print another image next to him and bam I forgot how to load it in my printer.... ERRR I had to start all over.  This time I think I am happy because it turned out awesome. I love the sentiment considering once again I have never seen a scarecrow... except the new maggie scarecrow. 

Come stop by and play with us.
