Saturday in Recap

Having missed the fields of sunflowers last summer by my mere procrastination, I took the time to stop, smell and photograph this beautiful tulip bed at my daughter’s.

Nothing says spring like a bold bed of tulips with contrasting purple violets.

After these photo opt, it was on to our card class.

Here we are in our classroom ready to bring it on!  (my hair has not been this dark since 1968! Ewww…)

And just for the sake of blogging this experience, a photo of our project.

Here was the lovely ladies that sat with us to create wonderful cards.  Lara on the left and Lynn on the right.

Asking their permission to publish their photo, we got to talk about blogs and such.

Lynn works at a bakery supply store.  She commented how suddenly they were getting all kinds of special orders for very specific items from women everywhere.

These orders were prompted by a specific blog these ladies where reading…you guessed it and so did I….

Bakerella! 

It is a small blogging world!

Erika looked thrilled as I took yet another photo!  Sorry, baby!

We managed to finish all 8 cards under the time limit, but some cards are missing.

Where did they go?  I only count six…hmmm

After a lovely lunch and a few more hours of shopping, I had to scurry home to help my hubby prepare the

famous Tyler Florence Fish Taco menu for my family and neighbors.

Speaking of Tyler Florence….I know we weren’t but humor me…

there is a fantastic post in the making to be published in 2 weeks…

Did I tell you that I am in love with Tyler Florence?  Really…love!

Happy Sunday to ya’ll!!!

Those tulips are beautiful with that purple contrast! And I know first-hand how adorable those cards must be in real life;) How were the tacos?

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
