Happy Thoughts

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Today is Kelsey's 33rd birthday! 

She is my youngest and the baby of the family. 

Just don't know where the time has gone! 

Here is a picture from Sunday when we all went to the Rail Trail for a bike ride. 

It was a fun day! 💗💗💗

Today my card is using lots retired products (as usual) but I am trying so hard to use what's in my stash. This retired Magnolia Lane DSP was one of my favorites. I have a whole complete pack of it plus another pack that is just about used up. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Thoughts (retired Million Dollar Achiever Set 2021)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow, Basic White. Magnolia Lane DSP (retired 2020)

Accessories: Beautifully Celebrated Dies, Low Profile Petal Pink Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Today we are in for thunderstorms which will cool things down for the remainder of the week. We are in for a cool, rainy Memorial Day weekend which I'm ok with! LOL

This recent heatwave was a bit much for me.

My thoughts today...

Happy Birthday, Kelsey Lynn! 

Hope you have an amazing day!

Grateful Fun Fold

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

And welcome to November!

Trick or Treat Night 2024 is in the books! It was good and we had our usual 20-30 kids. I was very surprised at a couple teenage boys that came by and how polite and kind they were! You don't see that very often!

We took Bailee out with us to hand candy out and she loved seeing all the kids! Every year we sit on the tailgate of the truck and greet the kids as they come up the driveway. Here is a picture of Shawn & Bailee. It was also the warmest Halloween on record! We did not have to wear winter coats, hats or gloves....just t-shirts!

Also here are 2 pictures of Kelsey in their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costumes at work.

And then one of the entire Lion's Pride Restaurant. Halloween is such a fun day to see people dressed up!

So, now the fun part comes of putting Halloween away! 

Thanksgiving will come out on Saturday because I don't want to over do it.

Today I have another fun fold card to share with you using a set called More Than Autumn.

I love this set and it's coordinating dies! I made this card to send to Kelsey since she is my pumpkin spice partner in crime. LOL

Card Details:

Stamps: More Than Autumn ($ Million Dollar Sales Achiever Set)

Ink: Memento Black, Pumpkin Pie, Stampin Blends-Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Exposed Brick 3D EF, More Than Autumn Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Pecan Pie Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Her & I have both been hitting the Pumpkin Spice pretty hard since about August. I found my Premier Protein Shakes came in Pumpkin Spice flavor and I wasn't sure I'd like it but it's really good used in my morning coffee! She will definitely get a laugh out of this card!

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Hope your all enjoying the weekend so far!

We are off to doggy day spa this morning and boy, do my girls need it, badly!

They were scheduled 4 weeks ago but we had to cancel their appointments because Gigi was sick.

She's better now but they both really need a bath & haircuts! I know they will feel so much better!

Anyways, I had a chance to do some stamping yesterday as I still need a few Valentine's Day cards.

I already had my pack of From the Heart Specialty DSP out on my table so I played around with it some more. I'm trying to get it used up!

These are the 2 cards I made...

My thoughts today...

This is a picture of Kelsey when she was a little girl. 

She may have been kindergarten age in this picture. She was a clown!

She loved Elmo! We still have her Tickle Me Elmo doll.

And here she is at 27 years old with Shady!

💗

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
