I have selective hearing. I am sorry, you were not selected!

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

I have been neglecting one of my favorite challenges!

I have images on my desk! They just need colored and/or put on a card!

 

I think the image is called Jelly Bean Heist....It's old! I have friends that stamp me images and mail them! Colored with Ohuhu markers. It's on a die cut from AALL and Create. An SU sentiment, twine and flower gems from my stash!

Colorful Options March 2026 Celebrating Green It's mint green!

Die Cut Divas Celebrating Spring/ Easter is in the Spring! 

House Mouse #460 Anything Goes/Option theme of Green 

Little Red Wagon Challenge #848 Include an Animal/ Mice? 

We Love Stamping Wildlife or Anything Goes If Mice are not wild animals I'm in for the Anything Goes! 

I have found my vacuum cleaner bags! I have been looking for 6 months! I was actually looking for something else. Which I found!

I have been busy. Of course I have! Been playing Scrabble, Mahjong and Wingspan! We've moved Wednesday suppers to Sunday, and take turns! Went to suppers at the Trinity Church this past weekend!. One was for the Grade 11 French class. They are raising money to go to Quebec. It was a chili supper by donation! Saturdays' supper was 2$. It was cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes and carrots. It's to raise money for the unhoused. So far they have placed 4 men, and the men were at the supper to help out. The mayor was there, just a lot of support! 

Our library is running a Fund a Friday campaign. The government has not increased funding for libraries since 2009 or something crazy like that. Our library is only open 4 days a week! They're looking for ideas to fund raise! 

Been walking. A. Lot. Out at Duck Lake where the birds are not waiting until the lake is thawed! There are swans, herons, ducks and geese for sure. My phone thinks I should get healthy (new phone), so trying to do my steps every day. No, it's not 10,000. Funny thing is, when it gets closer to bedtime, and I am not quite at my steps for the day, my phone tells me there's still time! It's not too late! Good times.

Already signing Bryson up for summer camps. We have a family reunion in the middle of July in Alberta, so him and I will go, then he will just come home with me! He's already making plans, because I got sick last summer, and then we moved! We didn't do some of the things we wanted to! 

Better go!

Talk to ya later!

Weather is a bit cold. Not the -30 we had for a stretch last winter, and seriously bit into the cherry crop! I have heard that if it happens this year, the cherry growers will be in trouble! We are -5 during the day, -10-12 at night. Supposed to last all week. I can live with that!

I had lunch with a GF today. The place we were at had peony buds poking through in a flower bed next to the building!

I am delighting in the few minutes daily of extra light!

I made this card for my moms dear friend who's birthday is on Valentine's Day. Previous years I have baked a cake and took a pitcher of margaritas. She's not well, so will probably just be cake. 

I have lasagna soup in the slow cooker! I have a few more cards to make!

Tomorrow's my shift at the Tuck Shop!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!  

Happy Almost Friday!

Good day!

The weather has cooled down a tad!

I have a card for Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round! Their challenge this month was to include a holiday hot drink of some kind.

I inked up for the first time this cute HM image called Lip Smakin' Relaxin'!

 

I just can't make a card lately and have everything go right!

Too much on my mind I guess!

I thought I was putting my puffy paint stuff on the marshmallows.

I'll have to read the containers more carefully next time....because those are the sparkliest marshmallows and lips I've ever seen. It came out of the tube the same......why would I think it was anything else!? Until it dried!

However, I think this will be my grandsons Christmas card, and he'll love it!

I am also linking this up for

House Mouse Challenge

Go figure!

I do not find every Challenge on the internet and participate......I do the Christmas Cards All Year 'Round; and seriously; that's just common sense!
I'm going to make a conscious effort to play along with Craft a Scene, because I LOVE Stampscapes.

BUT!
I have been in awe of this site since I found it, I think my weakness might be the House Mouses!
I've followed, and drooled over the creations shown here for a long time...all right, I'm a lurker!

But look......I made a card for the Challenge!

Not the best picture; I couldn't get little Bumble to show up better; he really is done in black, I just did a little pink in his ear, and on his nose.

And stickles for the bubbles.

It's a 5 X 5, and of course embossing folders aren't, that's why I have the black edge on the left...and I'll tell you THAT was a nightmare to peel & stick!

OH well.

I did it!

And ya know what!?

 If I had more time, I'd participate in more challenges!

There's nothing wrong with that!

I love seeing what you guys make for what site;

 I always check them out,

and of course I'm envious!
