Finally, time to garden

My mom and my great niece came out for a few days.  I finally had a little time to do a bit of yard work, and did my yard need it. We would fill a wheelbarrow full of weeds and trimmings then mom would take it behind the barn to dump it.  It wasn't long before my niece decided that the wheelbarrow would make a nice ride.

I just came back from my scrapbooking night.  It sure is nice to get out with friends and share ideas. I thought that I would post another picture of a card that I have made in the last few months.

In April I went to a quilting retreat and met some very nice ladies. One of the ladies made cookies to bring to the retreat.  They were fabulous and I asked for the recipe. She mailed it to me and I thought that I should make her a thank you card. Thus, this card was made. I will edit this post later and include the recipe.

Updates to my blog.

I have been playing around with the format of my blog. I am not sure that I like it very much but when I have more time I will try to do some more work on it.
I thought that I should post a photo of a card that I made recently.

 This was a thank you card  that I made using the Wild Card cartridge for the Cricut machine.  I cut out three sunflowers and then put coppper stickles on the centers of each flower.  I used 2 Stampin Up punches to punch out the sentiment and then tied a bow around the front of the card with some satin ribbon.  I got the idea for this card from "MadebyMomo" at YouTube.  If you get the chance search for her videos there. She does fabulous cards using the Cricut. 
     That's all for now.  I must get to work finishing a quilt.
