Yay! I remembered to come back to WOYWW to visit other folks desks and to make a new post...I have not been the greatest in the memory department this month! WOYWW? Go check out Julia's desk to find out what it is all about!
My desk this week continues to be a nightmare of sorts...I did get a couple cards made but just! I got a couple new kits in and unloaded them and it makes a stack for sure...
I really like the Stamps of Life stamps and dies lately...I have never been much into cutesy stuff but I have been so depressed with all the isolating etc I decided to try it out! Also bought some beach stamps and die kit from Queen and Co. I miss being able to go on a cruise. I guess feeling guilty over 3 last year is done cause I won't be able to take one for another year from the sounds of it.
I made a couple cards this week prior to the deluge on the desk...This first one was from a swap! We all kitted up and sent stuff to our partner for them to make a card with. If you use glue on this glossy cardstock it will warp...should have thought it out but...anyway I think it isn't half bad considering!
This second one is a pick up card. I was tied up on a wait on the phone and saw this stuff laying on the desk and decided to make a slimline card...now to find an envelope to put it in. I had made a couple scrapbook layouts last year with this paper and how it got back on the desk is beyond me!
It seems to be all the rage to do these slimline cards over here right now and I think it turned out okay considering it is a first.
I guess that is it for my WOYWW post. I hope everyone has a great week and has a lot of fun doing whatever they are doing. It has been very hot here...I am almost ready for fall!
I am kind of down in the dumps today cause my middle fur baby was outside on the deck and came up missing. I have never seen her leave the back yard so I am assuming she went for a walk and didn't know how to get home. I have "put out the word" so to speak and I hope people will let me know if they see her. Ghost is pure white and such a sweet kitty...I hope no one has taken her.
I have been spending a lot of time outside and swim most evenings. We had a new deck and pergola put in this year and it is just a nice place to sit and contemplate life...kinda like a vacation at home.
The deck and pergola had been there for over 30 years so it was definitely time for new!
Chuck spends a lot of time in the garden during this time of year. We are canning a lot of tomatoes and had some squash and corn earlier that I processed for the freezer.
The patio and deck look a lot different two months later...I am not so happy that this vine took over and killed out a lot of the other plants I had planted.
A good place to sit for a glass of wine or a chat. I listen to music most nights and eat my supper out here!
The swimming pool is also a good place to float and have a good time.
Okay enough for today! Hope everyone has enjoyed my back yard as much as I do. Backing up to park makes it so nice...I don't have to care for it as much as if it was my property and yet I enjoy it like it is mine!
