I Don't Know What Happened...

I was working on posting the notebooks when my hubby wanted to make a run to Lowe's.  I saved what I was working on then thought I could  come home and finish it up and post..I couldn't figure out how to keep working on my draft,,,posted it thinking I could edit it..I can't figure out how to do that...If anyone reads this and can tell me how then please tell me..I know I have probably clicked everywhere but where I need to...anyway..I wanted to share the notebook I received from Cindy..so here it is..it's very pretty and I love the flowers...I have to figure out how to make them...of course you know it's prettier in person than it is in my photos...Cindy did a great job!

I am now working on some boot shaped tags for a swap..and I am having problems with them...I think they need something but not sure what...So I may try and get some pics taken soon to share here and see if anyone can help me out...

I think that is it for now..have a great week ahead!

Gotta Share!!!

I have a couple of things to share but first is the suprise my sweet hubby bought for me a couple of weeks ago...I love almost anything chicken or rooster..It's my chicken theme and of course it has to bubble over into other parts of the house..not so much since we moved though..I am trying to keep them penned up and controled...lol...but anyway...my hubby went to town one day to the home and ranch store..not sure what he went for but one of the things he brought home was this beautiful rooster shaped fan..

I just love hime..he's so colorful...he found his home on my side board in the dining room...one of these days I am painting that "dresser" a red an I think he will even look better...He is just the coolest fan I have laid eyes on...

Now to share some crafty things..I have been in a one on one swap on the Cricut Site..It was a Wrinkled Paper Notebook swap..where we were assigned a partner and we each made the other an altered notebook using wrinkled paper..something I hadn't tried yet so I thought it would b a good challenge for me..I really enjoyed doing this and my only problem was knowing went to quit...here is the notebook I made for my partner Cindy..

Baby, it's HOT out there!!!

The heat is on here...and I know we're not the only ones having an early heat wave...I won't complain about the heat though...I would much rather have it than the cold...like we were having when I last posted...

I am going to start posting more..I have been doing a few things I want to share..I have been in a Secret Sister swap for about a year now over at http://simplyscrapping.ning.com/.  We change Secret Sisters every 3 months...and for the last 2 Rounds I have been the hostess...which has been fun but also work...and sometimes frustrating...because people sign up then don't follow through...they receive but don't send out...I can't believe these people do so and that they are fellow crafters...I do not understand how any one can be so deceitful...I know that life happens and sometime the unexpected happens but I don't think that has happened on all of these cases...there has just been too many of them!  I couldn't have any fun using what my SS took the time out to either make or buy for me..knowing I didn't send anything out to the SS that was looking forward to having something too...

Anyway..here are a few things that I have created for my secret sisters...

A card using the Cindy Lou Circut cartridge..I love that cartridge!

Then when I sent her that last package of that round I made another desk set...

Along with a card...I really loved this set..and was really tempted to keep it myself..especially since I can't find anymore of the paper I used on the set...

I do have more of the paper I used on the card and i think I will someday make me a desk set using it...It's just one of my favorite paper of all time...

This brings us to the Round I am in now...this is the last month..and I haven't sent my last package out yet so i will do that before I post here...just in case she is one of my follower's...

Along with some scrapping goodies I sent her a set of note cards...they were simple to make...the last card is just one I included with her package...it is a 4 x 4 inch square...easy peasy to put together...

I am also including a couple of cards I made in May one is a Mother's Day card for my Mother n law...and the next one was for my sister's birthday at the end of may...I even did something for the inside which is something I am trying to start doing when I send my cards out...

At the moment I am working on a altered notebook...I am doing it for a swap also..so I will share that when I am finished...it's a huge challenge for me to do this one...but I am enjoying it!

It's that time of day that I need to start thinking about What's For Supper???  I love to cook...but I really don't like thinking of what to have...and then there is the cleaning up afterwards that I could do without too...

Hope you are enjoying the week..

Hugs
