Bella Thank you's

A close friend needs 15 thank you cards-here are the 1st 4 I've done.

Random creations

Just needed to restock my cards-here are a few I made this weekend.

This first one is pretty simple-used Seaside Sketches from SU-colored it in and tied a ribbon on the top.

And some little girls birthday cards...used some Greeting Farm images my sister stamped for me.

A couple of more masculine or fall birthday cards...Upsy Daisy (SU) and Lovely as a Tree (SU).

Lovely as a Tree

I love this old SU set-came out years ago but is still in the book. I think it is so versatile-I use it for male birthday, sypmathy and even Christmas. Here are a few I did yesterday.

Drawer boxes for Teaghan Olivia Barker Benefit

My girlfriend's 3 year old god daughter Teaghan has cancer and she is holding a benefit Aug 15, 2010 at the Roselawn in New York Mills, NY.

I am making some items for the Chinese Auction-these are 2 of the card boxes I made. The idea came from Splitcoaststampers-here is the link:

I was only able to get 5 cards and envelopes in so I am hoping I'll get time to make some more. 1 filled with birthday cards & 1 filled with Christmas cards. Tried to keep them simple so they would appeal to the most people.

Here is the christmas one-note the ribbon "handle". And a little glam on the top.

This one was filled with the birthday cards.

I'm also making some altered composition books as school is right around the corner.

Crocheted Trim

Made this card today with some crocheted & pearl trim I picked up at Walmart. Alot cheaper than the SU new trim.

Skaneateles Lake

Last Saturday we drove to Auburn and come home by Route 20-went thru beautiful Skaneateles & Cazenovia. Here are some pictures we took in Skaneateles.

This mommy duck-I think my husband said she is a Teal-had quite a few babies-here are some pics of the babies.

I can't believe it's been a month  since I posted. My best friend's husband died unexpectedly a month ago and I made an emergency trip to North Carolina to be with her. Seems like since I got back life has been very hectic. We had our 2nd driveway put in (thanks to Dan Brown and my husband) for a great job-no more having to lug groceries up the steep hill to the back door.

My meager little flower garden is very pretty right now-here are some pictures of my irises.
