Windy in the country!!!

It was in the 70's here today but windy!  Tomorrow it's suppose to only 40 but warming back up again after that...I think I can handle it...Wanted to share a couple of things..one a card I made awhile back...did it for a challenge but I don't remember why now..sometimes the challenge is just to make a card...anyway..I made a little fan for this one.  It actually started out to be a flower but fell into a fan which I liked so I used it as fan...


And then this last week were given a pattern to create a nail file holder...or any other thing..we were able to make the pattern any size we wanted which means so many possibilities...but anyway here is mine...I love quotes about dancing so chose this one to put on my holder...


I need to share one more thing and that is the newest addition to our family...we have had him awhile now but I haven't blogged about him yet so I will share...my hubby picked him up for me in the parking lot where he was filling up his truck with gas back in late September.  A lady was trying to find homes for a couple little kitties and so he brought us one home...Oh...he knows what makes me happy...one of the best surprises he's given me...he was so tiny when he brought him home riding on his shoulder.  He was also suppose to be a "she" and after a couple of weeks or more of trying to figure out a name for "her" we decided on Tilly...only to figure out later "she" was a "he"....and his name is Jack...which he got called sometimes when he was still Tilly...as in "get back Jack" when we didn't want him to follow us out the door...anyway..here is Jack when he first brought him home..and when I post the next time I will post one of Jack today...


Isn't he the cutest?  He just fit right into our family...

I think that's it for this time..will be back soon!  Until  then smile and take time out to "dance"....

Hugs

Popping in!

Just thought I would pop in and write a few things before I go start supper...It's been ages since I last posted but I really am going to try and post more..promise...really....truely...hopefully? 

Here it is mid January...can you believe it?  We had our first snow last week..enough to cover things white but only stick to the roads on bridges an doverpasses...maybe an inch...but with our roller coaster weather it was all gone by the next day...but boy was it cold...brrr...at the moment we're up hill on that roller coaster...before we plundge again....if that's all the snow we get this winter I would be ever so happy...

At the moment I am working on some swaps for a craft group I am a member of on Facebook.  So, stay tuned and I will be posting those soon...so what can I share now?  I recently did a challenge on there where we had to make a card for our favorite holiday...one of my favorite holidays is the 4th of July.  Why?  Maybe because it's in the middle of summer and warm weather...it's usually a no pressure kind of holiday....but then I also love being an American...and am so thankful that I am.  I also love red, white and blue as a color combo so this was why I chose to make my card for the the 4th of July...pretty simple...stars were made from my Circut...George cart...It's one that came with my lil cricut but I keep going back to it for basics...sentiment was done on my computer..


I will be back tomorrow....I have a couple of notebooks I made awhile back to share..and hopefully before the end of the week is over with I will have those cards to share for my swap....thanks for stopping by and please come again...until next time ...Hugs T
