Hi Donna. I am figuring those up now. I have physical therapy that I have to stop for, however, I will get everything added up and posted today so that tomorrow I am all caught up and things can go back to normal for me. Also, yes once I change the letter in my siggy line it changes in every single post I have on here.

Come on ladies, get your butt into gear and get back here, don't you know I am lonely, bored and in need of a run and romp!!! Send Kerra with brandy flask!!

I will have to craft if all else fails, I spent a whole 50 mins in the working environment this morning and that was too long, I need the super long vacation. Now that would be nice. A vacation in the craft room where meals are delivered and someone comes to dust and tidy every day..... yep, where is Elizabeth...(she is the housework fairy)

It's very obvious that Elizabeth hasn't been to MY house!

DCinkit · 10-03-2012, 08:49 AM

Bev,

After Elizabeth goes to your house, send her to mine. Okay? She can make the rounds. She's a friendly fairy and does a fabulous job with her feather duster!

triasimite · 10-03-2012, 08:54 AM

She's going to have her work cut out for her here. "Kiljoy Was Here" is obvious on every piece of furniture!

However, if Elizabeth has a breath of energy when she's done, it's off to see Diane!

DCinkit · 10-03-2012, 09:36 AM

Thanks Bev! You're a good friend to share!

Donnaml · 10-03-2012, 03:01 PM

Not real happy with the outcome, but here you go.

triasimite · 10-03-2012, 03:03 PM

Thanks for the comments girls! I've made four cards today. A friend from church brought a sack full of greeting cards she had received and wondered if I could use them. I cut them up and made three cards (so far) out of the parts and pieces and I plan to give those three to her Sunday. The rest I'll plan to make up and donate to a nursing home for the residents. I've been in this craft room all day...AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT!

Donnaml · 10-03-2012, 03:06 PM

Great cards Bev and Marion. The quilling is just perfect

Hello Friends,

Some have already finished their Letter F cards. That was fast!

Here's a riddle for you:

The more you take, the more you leave behind. What is it?

That's it! You got it.

I love baby's footprints! I like to make footprints in wet sand.

laurenscraft · 10-03-2012, 04:09 PM

I love making wet footprints in wet sand at ebbing tide, so you can look back and see them, gives me a real relax holiday feeling....

Cards are me · 10-03-2012, 05:01 PM

Great work, Lauren. I like making footprints in fresh snow.

laurenscraft · 10-03-2012, 06:44 PM

Oh my that would be cold on the foots!!!!

Cards are me · 10-03-2012, 07:18 PM

Ok, bootprints, and yes, bare-footprints would be very cold.

Lauren, what are you up to today?

laurenscraft · 10-03-2012, 08:24 PM

Oh that makes sense, but I thought you all might breed 'em tough over there!!!

Yvonne I am up to making my scrap bin pretty!!! Yep I am a crafter and make cards and have my wall of inspiration, but very little else is decorated in my craft room, so I am on the job to change all that!!!

What are you up to this evening (night) ???

DellsDani · 10-03-2012, 08:29 PM

I'm not sure if anyone else is up, however I am. I have ten pages of chatter to go thru so I can add up points and what not so I will be here for a little while if anyone wants to chat.

laurenscraft · 10-03-2012, 08:33 PM

Hello Dani, I am here for a little while, have a project to blog..... to publish later while I craft some more.

Cards are me · 10-03-2012, 08:38 PM

Well, it it 10:30 here and my eyes are staring to close. I watched TV tonight and puppy sat for our DD. He is so cute, 1/2 pug, 1/4 beagle, 1/4 terrior. He is about 14 months old and still has the puppy in him; so, very busy.

Dani, how are you feeling?

DellsDani · 10-03-2012, 08:46 PM

Hello Lauren and Susan. I am hurting tonight but I had physical therapy today so....you know I have to figure out how to mention something to Dawn. Maybe y'all could give me advice on this. A few days ago she came with me to physical therapy and the therapist asked her if she would be willing to help me with some excercises ... Well it's been 2 days and she has yet to help me. I can't do it without her because I am supposed to lay on my belly and while she pushes down on an area I am suppose to push up into her hand. But she's not helping me. All she does if she isn't working is sleep. What do I say?
How are the both of you doing?

laurenscraft · 10-03-2012, 08:58 PM

Dani I am doing really good, it is mid afternoon, warmish with just a light breeze. Spring is really here and I am loving it.

I am not so good at being really tactful with people Dani. Maybe you could just ask here when would be a good time for her to help you like the therapist asked? And then be quiet.... ask over coffee or a meal or something and SMILE while asking.... She may have forgotten, most of us are in a world of our own and if it does not have 'me' as the benefit we do not give it a thought.

Cards are me · 10-03-2012, 09:03 PM

Dani, that is a tough one, I would just ask her to let you know when she is ready to help with your excerises and then set a time. Hope that helps.

I am doing OK, mom seems to be weaker everyday when I call. My girlfriend is coming for a few days on monday, have to do some cleaning.

Tomorrow our DD is going to do my nails, she is an esthetician. Lucky me!

laurenscraft · 10-03-2012, 09:06 PM

Susan I am sorry your Mum seems to be getting weaker. Are you going back to her?

I think I need an esthetician to help me look esthetically pleasant.....

But they would have a real challenge with my nails.... I have veggie nails...Iwork with fruit and veggies... I pack them .....

Cards are me · 10-03-2012, 09:09 PM

Lauren, that is funny we both said the same thing to Dani.

Yes, I will go back. I have to pack up her apartment and make sure her wishes are met. What is a daughter for other than doing nails!!!!

How is the crafting going?

DellsDani · 10-03-2012, 09:14 PM

Lauren, she (Dawn) lives here with me. I have said to her "Dawn since you are awake can we do my excercises?" She will say "Sure just let me wake up a bit." And then she falls back to sleep. Ugggg
Susan, honey I am so sorry your mum is getting to be so weak. Is there anything I can do to help? Make cards for a swap you are in? Or birthday cards that you may need made? Anything you can think of I am here to help you. And you know y'all are in my prayers.

laurenscraft · 10-03-2012, 09:17 PM

Susan it is funny that we both said very similar things.... I must be better with people than I think sometimes.

So hard for you to do the packing up of the apartment. Feel for you.

Oh the crafting went well today I finished my scrap cardstock box and have done a post that will publish in about 3 hours. I like him.

And I am in the process of doing more eggshell background, accent pieces to make embellishments out of.

Are you getting any crafting done?

DellsDani · 10-03-2012, 09:28 PM

Lauren your envelope holder is just gorgeous. You are soo taleneted. Uggg Ladies I need to take a break...I am starting to doze off again and I still have 6 pages of chatting to go thru. ugggg...I have to say I am sooo glad the pm's are all sent out for the Santa swap. I do not want to ever fall behind like this again. Everyone knows this alphabet challenge is my baby and all I want it to do is grow. So I have to stay on top of it. kwim?
