Cards I Made in March

 March was a rather slow month creatively. I didn't work on any scrapbooking pages and I only made a handful of cards; mostly because I got a few new products in I wanted to try.

      It is a 3-d embossing folder that came with a matching stencil to add colors to the tulips after (or before) pressing so it's a really neat effect.

    I loved those tulip cards when you posted them the other day. It looks like embossing, right?

      Yes, they are made from both a 3-D embossing folder and a stencil (well, not the all white one).

      I just ordered a large batch of photos so that should jump start my scrapbooking and with mother's day coming up I'll sure I'll be making lots of new cards. Plus I started and have nearly finished a new painting. Sometimes I just need that break for ideas to start percolating again.

    Love the tulip card. I just started making cards a few weeks ago and it has been such fun. You do need supplies but I've been pretty lucky in finding them. You've used some interesting techniques to make each card unique. Have a happy Easter.

    Wow, Joanne. These are just beautiful. My first thought upon seeing them was wondering how you made them look hand-painted. And then I realized they ARE hand-painted. They're incredible! Thanks for sharing this with us at Will Blog for Comments #81. It's open an extra week, so if you have not yet shared 3 posts, you're welcome to share more, either old or new. Wishing you a lovely week to come.

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Share Our Lives: My Favorite Cleaning Products

Image
It's the second Monday and time for Share Our Lives. The monthly link up where we share snippets of our lives. This month we're talking about our favorite cleaning products.  I took photos of cleaning products as I used them and am sharing them in no particular order.  I use Dawn dish soap as a stain remover for our laundry. It works particularly well with kitchen oil/ salad dressing stains.  I don't, however, use it on our dishes.  This (or All Free & Clear) is our usual laundry detergent.  We use this in our dishwasher. And this is what we use on our dishes when washing by hand (also what we use on our countertop and table).  I use white vinegar for so much-- I water it down to use on our floors in our refillable mop, I add 1 cup to the laundry when I want to remove odors (like with our towels). Cleans windows/glass without streaks, I mix it with salt and use it on weeds..  Baking soda is also used to boost laundry detergent. I sprinkle it in pan...

Bloggers Weekend in Asheville Days 1 & 2

Image
This was our 3rd annual bloggers weekend ( year 1 was Nashville here , year 2 was Louisville here ) and we planned to meet in Asheville, North Carolina. I was the only one flying in... and it was not easy finding flights into Asheville! My first day was spent traveling, as was everyone else's. Jenn texted in the morning that she was sick and had to back out. We were all disappointed.  I left for the airport before lunch and landed in Asheville around 6:30 after a long layover in Atlanta. I walked the terminal to get in some extra steps and picked up a really delicious sandwich for a late lunch/ early dinner.   Maria had kindly offered to pick me up and we met up with the other ladies at our AirB&B that Marilyn found us by 7.   Marilyn and Tanya put out quite a spread and Maria added some goodies too. We started up until 11 or so talking and catching up.      The next morning I was up early so I curled up on the couch with my book after getting all ...

Vegetable Stir- Fry with Zoodles

Image
This is another one of those recipes where I really just tell you some of the amounts and ingredients used because, honestly, we never make it quite the same way twice! I use whatever vegetables I happen to have on hand and mix it up with different seasonings and things too. Sometimes we add in a protein like chick peas (like we did today) other times it might be diced firm tofu, it really is a very adaptable recipe and up to you.   I tend to only make these zoodle & vegetable stir-frys when Alec will be around since he and I are the only two that eat it! I don't care though because I just love it! Other than the chopping and prepping the vegetables; which I tend to do in the morning. It's a very easy recipe to throw together.   Ingredients:   Olive oil-- start with a few Tablespoons and add more as needed to keep the vegetables from sticking 1 large carrot; peeled and cut julienne 1 red pepper; seeded and sliced thin 1 large onion; chopped Large handful fresh gr...
