Just A Quick Post!

Hi Everyone!! I meant to post these pictures a while ago.. but if you are anything like me, I can never get too many ideas on cards n such. These photos were taken over a month ago at least. I was at a stampin up party for a friend and fellow stamp club junkie :) Her name is Teresa. Jenny Peterson is our consultant and I cannot take credit for these cards.. they were made by Jenny. I just wanted to share them though.. because they are just so darn adorable. Truth is.. I carry a camera in my purse 99% of the time. I had forgotten these were on the memory card. I was reformatting it and such.. and discovered I didnt post these.. long overdue but better late than never.. and Jenny.. these truely are adorable cards !!!! (her style is much like mine!) Happy Stamping!

"The" Cup!!

I love Starbucks. I love this cup. When looking for it last year they had sold out. Bummer! I spotted this in Muskegon at the Starbucks drivethru. Woohoo!!! I see they are about again. It is a good thing! On Ebay last year these insulated cups were going for $40 and $50. Insane! Now, I have my own.. for $15.00. Que Ganga! :) Just wish a Starbucks was closer to get it filled with an Iced Mocha Cherry Latte. Have a good day!

Moooooooooooooving Right Along! More To Do!

Hi Everyone! Well I survived Memorial Weekend.. the weather was BEAUTIFUL for Michigan this time of year. Really.. I couldn't have asked for better weather. I didn't have a full house at the Inn, BUT all in all it was a decent weekend and numbers were showing this May was up from last year. THIS is a good thing! I can't complain about that. So, today, I did a lot of running for the Inn. It was a full day. Starbucks, (I found THE insulated cup that were on sale on ebay for $40 -- ill have to show ya's!!), Menard's, Sam's Club, Costco.. and oops.. somehow ended up at the mall (how did that happen??). I did buy an outfit.. for my 25th (eeep!) Class Reunion. Stopped at this HUGE greenhouse in Allendale (home of GVSU  - Go Lakers - The University I attened eons ago and graduated from!) and then had a quick dinner and home. Covered a LOT of territory.. was a VERY productive day. Here are some pics. Now, keep in mind, i was getting strange looks at the greenhouse. I love spring.. I love the flowers.. the colors.. the smells. I bought flowers.. herbs.. a few bushes and a tree.. tomorrow, guess what I'll be doing? You guessed it.. playing "jane  gardener". Have a great day!! Happy June!

Yay, Lee!!!!

So, one of my most favorite things I watch yearly has ended. Last night was the big night. Lee DeWyze has taken the season 9's title of "American Idol". Yay Lee.. you rock.. and it was very much deserved. I do have to confess.. I also love Crystal.. I know both will be very successful. I wish them both much success!

With Spring Comes Yard Workin` Stuff!

Hi All! I've been slacking blog wise.. my creativity on making stuff and stamping and all of that fun stuff has been put on the back burner til things settle down just a bit getting ready for the "kick off" to the summer season at the Inn. I thought Id take a few pics of some of the lil improvements and such I've been up to. I usually like to do a few projects outdoors each spring. The next big project will be a new fence around the pool area. Oh joy! LOL. So, here are a few pics of the grounds.. (not as fun as the stamping stuff but.. necessary stuff). I think Michigan jumped from early spring into summer.. it is 80F plus today.. talk about roller coaster weather! Have a great day! And.. to all of my Canadian Friends.... Happy Victoria Day!

We made a few Graduation cards (one has a pocket inside for goodies.. like money or a gift card, we made a small goodie box and also made a "best wishes" card.. which could be used for a lot of different occasions. So, now.. i sit and wait a week until the UPS man brings stamp club goodies that I can fondle and sort :) Happy Crafting!
