August 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

Well, this summer is sure flying by!  My granddaughter is spending weekdays here with me while Mom and Dad are working and her older siblings are either working or taking classes.  We're having so much fun.  I'm teaching her how to paint and we work on projects every day.  And, she's a talker, so we never run out of things to chat about.  I'm going to miss her company when she has to go back to school.

My flower gardens are so beautiful right now, but it won't be long and they'll kind of look like this "End of Summer" kit.

The Boo Update --

I got a box in the mail one day.  After I removed the goodies, Boo claimed the box as his.  He has been taking his afternoon nap in it every day.  SO . . . I decided we might as well spruce it up with little mice poking their heads out of holes.  What surprised me was when I put the decorated box back on the floor, Boo walked around the entire box to see all the new decorations.  He must have approved because he curled up in his box and went to sleep.  

I'll be back in September.  So will Boo!

July 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

Working on this Blog Train kit was so much fun.  It rained all day and there wasn't much I could do outside. The colors were just perfect for creating a walk in the woods.  With all the rain we've had, everything is green and lush outside.  Somewhere in our woods, I've been hearing an owl, but I have yet to see it.  So, I'm not sure what kind of owl it is, but it has such a soothing sound in the evenings.

Here are some textured papers, stamps and graffiti in the same color scheme as the Blog Train so you can add a little extra flair to your pages.

"Look!  I'm upside down!"  Sometimes I think he does stuff like this just to make me laugh.

Happy 4th of July!

A day with sun, sand and surf is usually a pretty good day.  Don't see much of that these days, but this color chart brought back memories of all the years I lived in Southern California.

What good is a big body of water without a sandy beach, right?!!  Better yet if that sandy beach has seashells :)

The Boo Update --

At least once a week, my husband sits on the floor with Boo for a good grooming.  You would not believe the amount of loose hair that comes off of that boy.  But, here's the catch -- if I try to groom him, I usually need a band-aid.  Sometimes two!  He's a "Daddy's Boy" for sure, unless it's meal time.  Then, he doesn't care who puts the food in his dish :)

Til next month . . .

I love this time of year when the perennials break ground and leafy bases start forming.  It's just a matter of time before the flowers start blooming.  And along with that, there will be bugs.  I don't even mind that so much.  I'm just so glad it's NOT winter.

Couldn't forget my garden fairies and their "rides" :)  As a side note, I originally designed all the characters in these two kits as full size garden decorations.  The wood pieces add that mystical charm mixed in among the blooming flowers.

I stuck Boo in the kitchen sink when he was just a tiny little guy and let the water drip to keep him entertained until I could finish what I was doing in the kitchen.  From that day on, it became a daily thing.  This never gets old!  

Happy Mother's Day!
