Garden

This year, I am trying to really work with my garden and get it off to the right start.  I spend 4 solid days weeding and mulching. 

Here is a picture I took about a month ago.

 

It looks completely different now, so I will have to take another picture over the weekend. 

Prom

It is hard to believe that my daughter is a senior and will be graduating in less than one month.  Last weekend, was the prom.  She did not have a date, but I am so proud of her and the young lady she has become.  She can stand on her own two feet without depending on someone else.

Here is a picture of her dress.  It is really dark, but you get the idea.

Here is a brighter one.

She had a really good time and I was glad when she made it home safely.

Crafty Creations--#260 Blue and Yellow

 

Our current challenge is to use blue and yellow on your creation and our sponsor is A Creative Need.  This image is called Lemon Slice.  You can get it here.  Once lucky winner will get to pick three free digital stamps from there.  How exciting!!!

 

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

Challenge #258--Happy Birthday!

We have had so much snow that I am over it.  That is saying something considering how much I love it.  I am ready to think spring, flowers, and green.  I am so looking forward to the grass turning green again, but not the lawn mowing.  hahaha

At Crafty Creations, the current challenge is about making a birthday card.  Everyone needs birthday cards from time to time, so this is a perfect challenge to ensure that you are at least one up.  We also have a great sponsor.  Beccy's Place is going to give one lucky person three free digital images from her shop.  Personally, I love that when you purchase a digital stamp from her store, you get one that is already colored too.  I used the pre-colored image for this card.  

 

 

 Thanks for stopping by and as always, have a great day!

Challenge #2 at Sketch n' Dies

Good morning!  March is sure starting off like a lion, so I hope the old saying holds true and will end like a lamb.  We are under a winter storm warning and suppose to get up to 8" of snow today.  I have seen some models show as much as 18", so I sure hope they were WRONG.  : )

 

I am so excited about this months challenge over at Sketch N' Dies.  and our sponsor.  I admit that I am not one of those wonderful people out there that can color their images flawlessly.  Often, I get out of the lines, but more often then not, cannot do shading.  That is the reason I am so excited about this month's sponsor, Luna Girl.   All the images come colored beautifully!  One lucky winner will receive all the images that the design team used on their creations! 

 

Here is the sketch for this month.

 

Here is what I created using one of Luna Girl's images.

 

I sure hope you get to play along.  Oh!  I almost forgot!  The winner of  my blog candy is......julieodil.  Please contact me with your mailing address, so I can send out your prize. 

 

Thanks to everyone for following my blog.  I will be giving more "candy" away this month, so stay tuned.
