Birthday Bash II

The other milestone birthday gave me something to think about when getting his card together.  I didn't want some fancy stuff, and he wasn't much for golf, though a sports enthusiast. I struggled for a few days, and then put this together!   

  

I could've added a car, or a truck from that era but instead, I did this.....

  

and the rest just fell into place! 

I am sure he loved it as much as I did, because he is just like that! 

Have a great day! 

Hug the ones you love tight!

Birthday bash!

There were two milestone birthdays this weekend.  

For her, I put together a purple card that sparkled! 

Shes been on a countdown for at least 60 days, and I am not sure if she accomplished all she wanted to before the big day or not, but shes still a fabulous friend! 

 

She and I will be celebrating in two weeks but I cannot wait to hear how her day was, and if she liked her card! 

 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Hug the ones you love! 

Have a great day!

Puched flowers really make this card pop. Adding the pearls give this card some depth & prissiness. I love the orange and the green together! I guess my bow couldn't been a little tighter too, huh? 

Have a great day ! Hug the ones you love! Thanks for stopping by! 

Lawn Fawn - Monster Mash

I am the biggest cheerleader for anyone in the family who plays a sport, participates in club, the arts, whatever. Even when the chose something that isn't a spectator sport... like the 1SG. He shoots High Power Marksmen. This is not something that you attend as a spectator.... seriously... just trust me.    Usually, I get the up the morning he has his shoots, get his coffee & light breakfast going, wish him luck as he leaves... as early as 5am, because I sat thru ONE... and that was IT for me.    

This weekend he heads out of state for a shoot, with a few buddies so I tucked this cutie in the luggage.  I hope it brightens his morning & maybe even bring him some luck!

Boo Crew & Boo You!

I have a 2016 goal to get my holiday cards out before the holidays... no matter what holiday it is (birthdays, anniversaries included).  This is sometimes very difficult for me because I forget to take picture upon completion and I want to do that among the other chaos, and then I am late/forget. Procrastination at its best - they are being addressed and 1SG is stuffing envelopes and I am like "OH WAIT"... Click (with camera phone).  No best lighting but still just as cute.

 

I really am trying to keep to that 'goal' ... its October and I have only missed 6 birthdays! LOL.. thats usually the reminder I get from the other half.  I have started on the Christmas cards... GOAL=  completed about 10 a week. Starting in  September. To date: I have made 15 & 7 of those are not glued together, they are ready for assembly - thats half the battle right?

I have a good excuse... I made 20 of these little pumpkin guys- and they were a time consuming! 

 

And then we went to the Apple Orchard, and I have been cooking & preparing for the applesauce making. 1SG ran the Army Ten Miler, on October 9, so we spent the weekend in DC, and so... 

I will catch up... I promise! ... a few late nights before December 6 most likely! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Hug the ones you love!  

Vegan dinner invitation

2 weeks of research. {which I got educated}

4 drafts.   

Longest time its taken for invitations ever. 

Honest. 

  

Vegan dinner Party Menu: 

Black bean burgers, Baked Mac, Roasted potatoes, Salad, Buffalo cauliflower pitas, homemade Ranch dressing, Spiced Carrot cake & brownies 

Why a Vegan Dinner party? A friend of mine has become a vegan (like just in the last 6 months or so)...and her husband lives/eats/survives as like a "viking". Meshing the two worlds to have alittle party. The party was a hit!  

Have a great day! Hug the ones you love!  Thank you for stopping by!
