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 ...

What's Up Wednesday in April, 2026

Image
Can you believe it's the last Wednesday of the month and time to link up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday?   What We're Eating: Sunday:   Egg roll in a bowl     Monday: Burgers, cole slaw, fries, and salad Tuesday:   Korean beef bowls with rice noodles and salad  Wednesday:  Sweet chicken chili wraps with salad   Thursday:  Zucchini & chicken pasta with wine sauce (regular pasta, chicken and sauce for the boys)  Friday:  BLT sandwiches with BBQ macaroni salad and salad  What I'm Reminiscing About:  This guy turned 22 last week-- 22! And this guy is officially done with this second year of college today. The time is just flying by and I have seen so much growth in him since we dropped him off Freshman year (both literally and figuratively).  What I'm Loving:  This month I really loved getting to use Evan's employee discount at Michael's. I bought lots of new canvases, some new brus...

Share 4 Somethings in April, 2026

Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for Share 4 Somethings with Jenn. This year we're sharing something we loved, something that sustained us, something we're carrying forward, and something we're making space for each month.    Something I loved: Our new patio-- Ian (and myself, Evan, and my husband) worked on putting in a small patio for our generator and Ian's new fuel tank/pump to sit on. We sanded and painted our generator to match and while I can't say it looks lovely it looks so much better than it used to .   My time in Nashville with all these wonderful ladies:     Touring the Biltmore!  Touring Kingscote with Evan: Breakfast with Alec-- not only was the food incredible but the company was really nice too.   Something that sustained me:  I feel like I ate so good this month (and by that I mean more that the food tasted amazing rather than it was incredibly healthy)... but I still managed to maintain my weight s...

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...

30 History Movies for Middle School

Image
Ian is starting a new film study unit in our homeschool.  He loves watching movies and when I found the Thinking Tree Film Study Journal I just knew Ian would love the opportunity to watch movies as part of his homeschooling day. I set to work writing up a list of movies I thought he'd enjoy watching.  These are just some of the movies I found that I thought he'd enjoy watching as part of our history lessons. 1.   Secretariat -- A story about a horse that won the Triple crown in 1973; the first American Thoroughbred to win in 25 years. 2.   Captain Philips - A movie about the 2009 hijacking of a US Container ship by a crew of pirates. 3.  Sully- Based on the "Miracle on the Hudson" this movie takes us through the plane that landed in the Hudson river. 4.   A League of their Own - A fictional story of the All-American Girls Baseball League of 1943 5.   Gung- Ho -- When the Japanese re-open an American auto plant the wo...
