Easter Eggs

Happy Easter!

We had a large family gathering yesterday to celebrate, fellowship and mostly eat for Easter. We've not gathered together for Easter in years and everyone had a wonderful time.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for an egg hunt, lawn games, guitar playing and a pontoon ride on the lake.

Most people want to decorate their Easter eggs or fill the plastic ones with candy (which we did for the egg hunt), but my family wants me to Devil theirs for consumption!

I do believe this is the most deviled eggs I've ever made at one time. And the containers were empty when I brought them home!

S&S Sketch #115

This week's Stars & Stamps sketch can be found here.

To be honest, the sketch really didn't appeal to me at first. 

But after playing around with it, I think I like my interpretation.

What I don't like, however, is that all of my sentiment stamps are at the Gorilla! 

Luckily I had my handy dandy Dymo Label Buddy.

Paper: Bo Bunny "Timepiece Collection" and some very old Basic Grey.

Thanks for taking a look! 

S&S Sketch #114

When I saw this week's Stars & Stamps sketch challenge, I thought "gate-fold." But I've never done a gate-fold card! So I gave it a whirl.

Paper from MME "Lost & Found, Union Square"

S&S Sketch #113

My interpretation

I've had the rub-ons for so many years I've forgotten when I bought them.

No clue who the patterned paper is by.

I bought it for a project 5 yrs ago and this was all that's left.

The ribbon is from the inside of a sweater to keep it on the hanger. 

It was annoying me and when I cut it out, I envisioned it's real purpose!

Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend!

Driving Miss Daisy

Since her very first car ride, this is how Miss Daisy travels

In this photo, she's 2 hours into a trip from the Gorilla back to Harrisburg.

She's 11 weeks old (plus a day) and so far, she's turning out to be a great dog!

(PS: I was at a stoplight when I snapped this photo)

Need a Barber?

Then head to Main Street, Pulaski, VA. It's not often you see a genuine Barber Shop with not a single Great Clips or Super Cuts anywhere to be found!

While visiting with me at the Gorilla, my dad said he needed a haircut and wanted to find a real barber shop. This was perfect! I asked my Dad what he thought of the place, he said, "It's an Ok Barber Shop!"

Good Ol' PAAS

Brings back childhood memories! However, back in the day, no self-respecting Easter egg would have a TAT!  They were called Stickers! 

It's a Heart

Do you ever use your imagination to find images or objects in the clouds on a cloudy day? I use to love to as a kid and occasionally still do now.

On this practically cloudless morning, no imagination was needed to see what form this group of clouds looked like.

Have a blessed day!

Communion Sunday

The table was set and we partook. 

A trip to Salisbury's historic downtown

On Friday, March 2, a couple of girlfriends, my sister and I visited Salisbury, NC. The purpose for the trip to was to shop at a fairly new scrapbook / craft store called "Peanut Doodles." What an adorable store! I purchased a couple of stamps, inks and dies. I'm sure I didn't see all the store had to offer, so there will definitely be another trip in future.

Heading home, we passed the Salisbury Post and this caught my eye:

One of the stamps I purchased was a set Hero Arts designed for Operation Write Home:

I think the first clock I stamp should indicate the time that was on
top of the Salisbury Post!

To my friend, Dixie, this is how you determine what time to
make the stamp without stressing!
