well hi there!



i was planning on posting another birthday queen creation - she's been a busy girl that birthday queen- however i don't wanna post til i'm sure the fille courante d'anniversaire (gosh i hope thats right lol) has seen it!


on to other things - made this card for a college friend of mine. i love this anna griffin stamp! and i love hydrangea.


I made this next card for my brother-in-law whose birthday was yesterday - him and Punxsutawney Phil


I hadn't bought anything new paper-wise in a while. I went to a small local scrapbook store (on my way home from chauffering the daughter somewhere) I haven't been to in probably over a year and this creative imaginations paper was screaming out to me 'hey... take me home - and whilst you're at it grab some of those buttons!' I did make a few cards with the CI buttons but this particular card has some buttons from my own stash. Oh and the stamp is from Stampin Up!
Let's see what else have I been up to - reading. I read a book called Escape by Carolyn Jessop (about her escape from her life in the Fundamentalist LDS church. It was a little repetitive - coulda used some more editing in my opinion but) it was a pretty compelling story.
An absolutely brilliant book I recently finished is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Suggested by my friend Donna. I thought why would I want to read a book about a guy who joins the circus? But knowing Donna wouldn't steer me wrong I got it from the library. Wow. What an amazing book - if you're looking for something to read - run - do not walk - to your library and get it. You will not be sorry.
Lost was on the other night - do you love Lost? I do! Now if you've never watched Lost you can catch up on all the seasons by watching on ABC.com They have all the episodes online! However that's a big time investment now isn't it? Okay. Well you can also catch up by watching this video - Everything you need to know about Lost in 8 minutes
Even if you are all caught up this video is hilarious!
Okay - its Super Bowl Day - gotta get moving - Go Giants!

Tracy, you are my inspiration. I have no idea how you can create such beautiful crafts, take care of family, do all you do and still have time to read! Beautiful cards!

Two beautiful cards - classic tfp! You totally sucked me into an extensive Amazon session researching those two books and the other 'recommended reading' that accompanied them - thanks for the reviews, I love to hear about good books for my next library trip :)
