My scanner cut off about 1/4 inch of the bottom of the pages. I would love to have a scanner large enough to scan an entire 12x12 page in piece.

New Things

This has been my week for new things. I had to return my Hoover Windtunnel to Sam's Club (good thing I bought the extended warrenty!) The Windtunnel was probably the worst Vacuum I have ever owned. I took the advise of my mother and some friends and bought a Sears Kenmore Canister vacuum. I got the Blue Sky color. I have to say, I love it!

















I also got a new car last Friday. My Windstar was on its last legs. It had so many mechanical problems and I was tired for putting money into it. So, here is my Toyota Sienna! I was meant to drive this car!



I also lost the diamond out of my wedding ring last week and I could not find it anywhere. So I will be also be getting a new ring this week. I found an 3 diamond anniversary ring that I like. Whooo, lets spend some more money.

Raspberry Jelly

I made Red Raspberry Jelly on Friday. I had to stop right before putting the juice on the stove to boil because the car dealership called and said that someone was looking at the car I wanted to buy. I pretty much figured that was a lie, but I decided that "someone" probably was going to be looking at it because it was a nice car. So, I dropped everything and went to the dealership and got the process started. Glad I did, because if I would have waited until evening we would have been there until 10 p.m.! They were SO slow. Anyway, after I bought the car ( a white Toyota Sienna) I came home and made jelly. It is so yummy and while I know home made jelly is not any cheaper than store bought, (actually it probably costs more) there is nothing that beats the home made stuff as far as my tastebuds are concerned. I like currant jelly and strawberry jelly but Red Raspberry jelly beats them all hands down!

A Week at my Parents

I waited a long time for this Humming bird. He finally came for a snack and brought a girl friend (she was in the bushes)









Nick and Gracie in Grandma's garden.
















It stormed a few nights while we were there, we sat on the front porch and watched.





Grandma Nelda's lovely garden.

More Bella Cards (The good, the Bad and the Faintly Ugly)

I like the card (above) and I kind of like the birthday card below.
However, I think this one (below) is a card gone bad. I saw the basic idea on SCS and tried to modify it, but it just kept getting worse and worse. I finally had to stop because it was getting ugly.
This card (below) is also a card gone bad. But I feel it looks better than the one just above. They both need something or they need to lose something. I also used SU stamps on some of the cards and I used the Cuttlebug to make the background on some as well. The polka dot paper is from Wild Asparagus.

Gotta love Bella...

I made this today just for fun! It has been a long time since I have made a card that is my own design. The colors are a little wild but I think it came out pretty good. The stamp is EmmyBella from StampingBella. (Yeah! I finally figured out how to hyperlink!) The paper and ribbon are scraps that I had left over from a scrapbook page.

What color Girl are you?

I think this is me to a "T"!

You Are A Gold Girl

You're dependable and hard working. You never miss a deadline - and you're never late. You have a clear sense of right and wrong. You're very detail oriented. You get frustrated when your friends are sloppy - or when they don't follow through. You're on top of things, and you wish that everyone else was!
