Just OLW Blog Hop - May

May 1st, and you know what that means........................... OLW is on the hop again, so here we go!!

Our class assignment this month was to write a letter to ourselves, a letter that speaks of maybe how things are going, or where you want to go.  And leave it to Ali - she ROCKS!!  Have you heard of FutureMe?  Totally cool.  My letter will be sent back to me next year on May 1st.  I'm not posting it here, but I enjoyed writing it, and it will be fun to discover where things end up a year from now.

We were also to include a photo of ourselves, so I went with this one, edited in LoFi.  Perfect for those of us who love all things retro.  Its only 29 bucks and well worth the fun.  It gives you the ability to add films, moods and frames to your photos.

And another, just for fun.



Thanks to Magpie Girl Sheri, for turning me on to that!

Next up on the hop is Miss Cindy, right here. 

If you get hopping too fast and need to start again, the full list of today's hoppers  is below.

In other fun things,  the Magpie Kit revealed yesterday!   If you love Studio Calico and Cosmo Cricket, be sure to check it out!

And on one last note, there's another fun hop going on here.


Enjoy your Sunday, and thank you for stopping by. 



Just Friday

So, I've been up since 4:00 AM watching the royal couple wed - amazing.  I think in my next life I want to be a princess!! 

Anyway, here are the last of the Magpie Kit peeks.  Kits go live tomorrow.  You should get one!

I'm certain I'm going to have to nap today, but after that, I'm hoping to find some scrap time - its tough with the big guy home...........

Enjoy your day.

Just More Sneaks!!

And I'm telling you, you are going to LOVE this kit!!

There's fabric,

and such cool bits and pieces in it - check out the wooden butterfly,



One more sneak tomorrow!!!

Just Magpie Kit Sneak Peeks

Hello all!  Hope everyone had a fun holiday.  We had a great time.  So, check out these cool, clear plates I used on the Easter table,

with a white tablecloth,

       and a little color.

Loved the look of it. 

Anyway, it was a sunny, 77 degrees yesterday.  The big guy (he's on vacation this week) got the lounge chairs out of the shed and I grabbed a book and sat outside for a few hours reading.  It was heaven.   

We discovered this along the way -  a loner, all by itself, with nothing but grass all around it. KInd of strange, I thought,

And now, I am thrilled and so excited to share some Magpie Kit Club sneaks. Full reveal will be on April 30th.  Lots of scrappy goodness you won't want to miss!   So, without further ado.....

  I'll have more sneaks for you tomorrow!  Until then, have a great day!

     

Just Happy Easter

Enjoy your time with family, friends and chocolate!  

We're hosting the fam here tomorrow, so I'm off to the stores to pick up something for dinner and something to wear.  I suppose I should have wrapped it up yesterday, but I got sidetracked with a few bright colored twines............

I'll be checking in early nest week with some of those Friday scrappies! 

Just some cheery

Hello all and hope you are enjoying this sunny Thursday. I've had a crazy busy week at work - one of my new cases that I spent most of  my time on was a double fatality - sad stuff  at work sometimes   - police reports, autopsy photos - but I've gotten used to it.  Kind of.  When it really gets to me, like this week,  I tend to go for the cheery in my off hours.

Retail therapy works - I think I've mentioned my mascara addiction before.  Here, Lancome Hypnose Drama in black.  LOVE

I know, I know.........way too much talk about the royals lately, but  I picked this up,

Summer and wedge sandals.......a match made in heaven!  The Jessica Gabbie Wedge Sandal has found its way to my closet!

Loved finding this in the mail box,

And more cute little flowers in the yard, do you know what these are?

Sorry I haven't posted my Magpie Club sneaks yet, but they are coming soon! 

And now, for the first time this week, I'm off to do a little bit of creating. 

And tell your guys and dolls you love them.  Life is fragile and can be gone in an instant.
