Just checking in....

Just to let you know, I have been crafting. lol Making different kinds of flowers. They are so fun to make. I have also been making cards. I just need to take pictures and post those pics. But, these past couple of weeks have been crazy. Family was here for a visit. Our daughter was suppose to come up on leave but called and said she couldn't. A friend came over and needed help getting something heavy out of the back of his truck. Kevin goes out to help. The "heavy" object was Becky. She came home after all. Happy times. Went to a card class yesterday at the Stamp Cache. Made four cards. They are great. Will show those soon too. One we used cork paper. What a cool concept for a masculine card. You should try it. Oh, and did you know you can use Chalk Ink to emboss with? Yeah, me either. You should try that too. Get your inks out and see what else you can do.

My head is reeling...

Close To My Heart is having their convention right now. Several of the ladies have been posting updates for those of us that weren't able to go. Oh my, I am going to be soooo broke. lol There is a CTMH exclusive Cricut cartridge. Can't even wait to see that! New embellishments. The patterned paper is card stock weight. All new paper packs. New alterable items. Again, I can't wait. I love those. My fave right now is the banner pieces and the recipe box. So much fun. I can't wait to see the new catalog. It goes live August 1st. So, let's get together and make something awesome.

What was I thinking!?

This is the Deshka River at around 5:30 in the morning. I know, what was I doing on the river at that time of day? Yeah, not too sure. They call it fishing. lol So, here I am sitting in the boat waiting for 6:00 to start fishing and thought I would take some pictures. It was foggy and the sun was just starting to peak over the tops of the trees. It looked enchanting. Like being in a magical forest. Back to the fishing. We caught our limit of one each in about 45 minutes. That was fun. My fish was the biggest but not by much. It was about 20 pounds. Felt like I had a car on the end of the line. Very heavy. On our way back, I was enjoying the view. Sunshine streaming through the trees and fog leaving rays of light on the river. It was an amazing sight. The whole day was scrapbook worthy.
