I 1st stamped the Postage Due stamp set
(w)# 126395

onto Early Espresso card stock #119686 with the Whisper White Craft ink #101731 and then Stamped the Very Vanilla card stock#101650 with the Early Espresso classic ink # 126974 .
I ripped the Very Vanilla piece and layered the pieces onto the Early Espresso piece lining up the stamp image.
I stamped the Travel Post and punch that out with the Postage Stamp punch # 122344.
I added some Early Espresso 1/4" Stiched Grosgrain ribbon # 126871.
Here is another Sympathy card I made this time for my hubbys co worker who's wife lost twin babies this past Thursday . She was suppose to give birth this upcoming Friday... it's so sad .
Hubby called me from work as soon as he found out and asked if I could make a sympathy card for him and his wife and everyone at work could sign and add money for them .
I used the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set
(w) #113252
(c) #127805

Here is what the inside of the card looks like .
I used the Eyelet Border punch ( retired ) along with the Daydream Jumbo wheel # 126939 for the background with Crumb Cake classic ink # 126975.
I also used the Champagne Mist Shimmer paint # 116806 for the front and Inside of the card .
Today I am going to church by myself ... Why you ask ? Well Hubby is taking a few of our kids from youth group to Biker Sunday at a near by church.
It is so amazing . I have never attended ( maybe next year ) but the stories hubby tells me when he comes home from the all day event are just AWESOME!
Big Burly guys accepting the Lord as their Savior/ Sharing their Testimonies how God has changed them ... Well lets just say I would be crying all day & have puffy red eyes.
On a side note since opening up our pool we have had so many critters end up in our pool ~ most of the time they die.
(1) Chipmunk , (1) Bird, and lots of frogs I told my hubby the last time I scooped out (3) frogs ( at least those were still alive ) that we should get a lily pad for them ( I was joking of course).
Fast forward to this past Friday night... Hubby had set up our robot vacume to clean pool and I woke up to this Saturday morning .
(4) frogs sitting on what I will call their new lily pad AKA vacume hose .. Oh my goodness to funny .
Any ideas how to keep these critters out of our pool ? We will be hopefully adding a small screen around the base of the pool fence . But other than that I have no idea what else we can do .
Would love to hear any ideas you may have .
Thanks in advance !

Here is the Fathers Day card I made my hubby PLUS we made this card last night for my Stampers club. I have a video on this card But with a slight change later this week .
Since I had a few club girls that couldn't make club last night and this was one of the cards we made I changed it up a little bit since they will get their club cards later this upcoming week and they will miss giving it out for Fathers day .... Plus the girls that came to club had their choice of which one to make .
We had so much fun stamping last night .
Everyone loves the new ink pads .
Here is my Sunday Share video for you on this wonderful Fathers Day !
Over the last few weeks I have been going to my Chiropactor to help what I thought was my hip/s But ends up being my Pelvis.
My Pelvis is lower and pushed back on the left side and higher and pushed forward on the right ..
How is the world did I do that ?? I have no idea.
One thing is for sure I am sure walking funny and having lots of pain and Plus my right side seems to be hitting my Sciatic nerve which hurts just flipping over in bed .
Dr. Leigh says she will have me fixed up . I am praying she will fix up before Convention next month .
The really funny thing is that when I am riding with Hubby on his Harley it helps ( a little) .. So you know what that means ? Must ride more LOL!
Here is another box just like the one I made HERE but changed it up a wee bit with a bunch of new goodies .

Jessie has found a vehicle :
I know I posted yesterday about Jessie looking for a new car But she has been actually looking for a couple weeks and she found one yesterday and we are picking it up after my Doc. appointment this afternoon .
She is so excited and it's Beautiful . It is a Buick Rendezvous it is so amazing . The woman who is selling it to Jessie even cried cause she loves it so much . She took such great care of it . You would never know it was a 2004 NO rust and very lower mileage ( She only used it to go to the store and take her kids to school ) . Thank you Lord!
Over Memorial weekend Hubby and I were busy working in the yard and also working on our rental house .
The flower beds at our home needed some major cleaning up & some moving .
We have a couple Holly bushes, Hey did you know Holly Bushes grow much better on the East side of your house .. Well we didn't know that so we dug those up and moved them and cleaned out all the ivy ( see before photo) PLUS we got a bunch of new goodies for the front.
We already had a few Peonies (we kept them just moved them around ) . I have always loved Cone flowers so we got some of those for the front . We also have a bunch of Lazy Susans in the back yard ( My most favorite ) .
We have mostly sandy soil so these are what we found that will work for us .
A few others we planted that I remember without running outside are :
Feather Reed Grass
Maiden Grass
Asiatic Lillies ( Tiny Dino )
Gaillardia's ( Arizona Sun ) see photo below.
We also picked up some Petunias for the pool area ( see photo ) . Hey notice the colors of those LOL ! Purple and White.
With 1 flower bed done we only have 3 more to tackle . Of all days to pick to do the front flower bed it was seriously HOT HOT HOT it was 96 out but it felt like mid 100's LOL! I am not sure who drank the most water me or hubby .
Then Saturday & Sunday we painted the rental house and this past Thursday Hubby got off work early due to rain so he got to work on the Kitchen and dinning room wood floor ... Looks amazing ! I will post pics of all that soon .
Yesterday we got hubby a new remote garage door opener and then he programed my universal remote in my car ( LOVE IT!)
Jessie is on the hunt for another car ( newer BUT not brand new ) she has the 2002 Grand Prix and with her driving farther to work every day she needs something more dependable in snow, so the searching has begun .
Jessie seems to really like the Pontiac Vibe.
Anyone know anything about this vehicle ?
