The cold and flu is going around my house and the local schools! About 10 -20% of the kids out of school. Sam has been home two day from school all ready this week. We sent him back today, not sure that he will make it all day. He is coughing but not has hard as he has been! Poor little ink spot!
So, I really have not had anytime in my studio! On Sunday, I went to a stamp and scrap party. I never got my bag unpacked. So, last night I worked at the dinning room table with the supplies I had upstairs! I got 4 cards made for Halloween.
This is Sam’s favorite:
Supplies: S& D dia de lost muertos , Saying from Martha Stewart, watercolors, spiders from CM Halloween Micro Mini punch, white, purple, and green paper, staples, sticklers
You see those 3 circles on the left side? I made them out of some of the background paper I made in the layer love class!
More Halloween cards to come later this week- Hold on to your hats! te he he!
Thanks so much for stopping in! Enjoy your day!

My oh my what a weekend we are having. I got my final exam done for Julie’s Layer Love class. The class was just a blast! Had a hard time waiting for stuff to dry!
9 x11 “Spin”
The base of this is a chalk board- I got free 😉
Yesterday was very hot and humid here- so the boys and I throw a water party, water guns, water balloons and a slip and slide. It was a blast 🙂
After all the fun we grilled out steaks and potatoes (Thanks Jeni) and once it got dark made slushies and kettle corn and caught fireflies! It was a perfect Saturday!
Happy Father’s Day, Mr. Ink. The boys really wish you were off today to play with them. Good thing we got to go fishing last weekend! We are counting the days until change over is done and you will not be working 10 hours a day 7 days a week! We love you!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Father’s Day!
Thanks for stopping in!

How in the world does each month just roll on bye? I can hardly believe it is June already! I can’t wait for school to be out. One week from tomorrow and YES we are counting down the days. LOL
How was everyone’s weekends? Mine was really nice even with Mr. Ink having a horrible sinus, eye, and ear infection. I got to go on a coffee date. Got to look at the most beautiful view of the river. I just love being around water. Maybe it is because I’m a Pisces!

Nothing like spending the day looking out into the ocean! The sense of peace you get is so tranquil.The smells and sounds putting you in a calm and wonderful state of mind. I really wish I lived by the ocean but since I don’t here is my background using techniques from Layer Love lesson 3.
9 x 12 “Sam, I am the Ocean”
This piece is really glossy so hard to get a good photo of it. The two dark blue lines are from a piece of paper with the Sam’s writing from school. Up close you can make out some of his writing- Here is what he wrote: Sam I hav va cat. He is working really hard in school and doing so well! I am so proud of him! Tomorrow is the start of T-ball! Only 2 weeks left of school! Yippee!
Have a wonderful Tuesday! Thanks for visiting!

Tequila Sunset: 9 x 12
This is my piece from Layer Love : Lesson 2
Last night I went to a benefit for a nephew of one of my childhood friends (waking Hi to Jeni)! Mr. Ink was exhausted from being to work at 5am- so I went it alone. My niece Jess and her hubby Mike was there so that was nice to see them. In one of the bucket raffles- I won a longaberger pie basket and a lap quilt! I am smiling ear to ear!
Hope you are all having a good weekend! Thanks for stopping in!
