Recent cards

2010-10-31T16:58:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in a while and thought it was time that I put some cards on here. The pilgrim ones are from a kit that my mom sent to me a few weeks ago and I think they turned out pretty cute.

I am still on the PLANET!!

These two actors are on THE GUILD also and they are hillarious... The two told me that I could come in to the roped off area so that I could take a good picture of them that was AWESOME!!! I enjoyed talking to them as much as the boys did...

I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted something new on my blog so it is time... This is Kirby and Mitchell with the actresses from THE GUILD!! It is a funny and cute webcast that the girl on the left actually wrote. They are as nice as they look and the boys really liked getting to meet them...

Here is the first card for Sheetload!!!

Hi gals.. Just wanted to post my first altered frame that I just got done with... I haven't had much time lately or energy to try to get anything done so tonight I felt a little creative and here it is......

Two more days...

2007-07-12T12:56:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone I hope you are all doing well.... I have only two more days of VBS and am glad. I sure like doing crafts, but it makes for a long week... We only have one more night of crafts and then the program tomorrow.... The kids are enjoying themselves and so am I. Not much else to tell you about today maybe more tomorrow...

Lisa

2007-07-09T12:46:00.000-07:00

Just going to be another boring day without crafting.... I have VBS (Vacation Bible School) each night this week so I am not able to craft except for the crafts we make there.... Hopefully I will have time to do some this weekend. Last night after VBS I was able to mark all the stuff that I am selling at a Stampin up Yard Sale I am involved in... I hope I make enough to buy a new set that I really want out of the new catalog. Thanks for reading my blog...
