My sanity? Anyone see it?

Well Thursday I picked up my son Mike's dog. They are at Country USA. So I had 4 dogs til Saturday when my other son, Charlie needed a puppy sitter for his dog. They went to Milwaukee to help a friend move. So since yesterday I have had 5 dogs in the house. Our 99 pound, 3 yr. old black lab, Dakota, our 55.5 pound 6 month old lab, Lexi and 11 yr. old Scooter at 9.9 pounds (pomeraniam). Mike's dog at 55 pounds and maybe alittle over a year, Duece, and then little 7 pound, 4 month old puggle, Diesel!
I need a bigger house. Oh and a bigger bed, they all want to sleep with you too.
All in all, they are fun, but alot of comotion.
Well I am off to get ready for church! God Bless!

Poor Birdies!

If you look under my ground feeder (for birds outside), you will see Lily hiding under there!What a sassy little kitty!

Catch of the Day on Father' Day



Here is Mike with the fish they caught! Mike caught a 21 inch walleye! Ron got the other one.

Father's Day

This morning my son (age 23) came over and went fishing with my husband. Mike is my hubbies step son, but you wouldn't know, he thinks of both the boys as his own. Loves them as if they are his own.
When we were deciding wether or not to have children together he said, do we need more? We already have 2 healthy boys! When I met my husband now, my boys were 2 and 4 yrs. He loves them like they are his and wouldn't have it any other way. They are now 23 and 25, and we did end up having a daughter, age 17.
We just got back from Dairy Queen!
So far, I think he has had a great day and it is only going to get better, as everyone will be here for supper. We are having lasagna!
Hope everyone else is having a nice day too.

Sympathy Card


The stamp set is from PapertreyInk and the set is called Everyday Blessings.

Remember that the Occasions Mini Catalog ends June 30, 2008 so if there is anything you would like to order, let me know. Think about those cards you need to make in the near future and review the dormant list to see if there are any stamp sets you could use for those cards because you might forget about them later since they won't be in the new Catalog.

God Bless,

May Stamp Club Cards

Most of, if not all my inspiration comes from SCS! Thanks to all the wonderful artists that share thier creativity!

This card is using the Chalkboard technique, which I learned from Beate Jones! She is a wonderful artist!

The second card is using chipboard.


And this is a card with Garden Whimsey




Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day!
