Meet Grandbaby #2



On April 12, my daughter-in-law and son invited me to the ultrasound. I can't begin to count the number of baby ultrasounds I have seen and done but nothing compares to watching this one (and, of course, Addie's). I stopped doing sonograms in 2006 and I still had the check list going in my head. The exciting news was the baby looks great and growth is on track. The dessert is he is a boy! I can't wait to meet this little guy but we are still 4 months away.

Until next time...

Stamping with a Renewed Focus


As I begin to phase from being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator to just paper crafting for fun, I find that I am stamping more often and with more relaxation. I loved being a demonstrator but spent a lot of time stamping to create what I thought other people would like. My favorite stamp designs are by Stampin' Up!, Hero Arts, Penny Black and Papertrey Ink. The card today was done with a Hero Arts stamp and Copic markers. The border punch is Stampin' Up! and the greeting is Papertrey Ink (PTI).

The ribbon is 1/4" white silk ribbon and colored it with a Copic marker to match the image.

Sundays with Addie



I really look forward to spending Sunday afternoons with Addie. We have such a routine with her and are working on adding a few things. During the summer, we usually water the flowers but, since it was raining today, we spent time watching the water drip from the gutter to the flower bed.
