I'm Here!

Hi friends! Thank you to all who did not desert me in my long absence! Dave and I had the opportunity to go on a Caribbean cruise for our mid winter break! We had a wonderful time, but it's good to be home! There has been so much catching up to do and, of course, back to work! Now I've got problems with my laptop overheating so it freezes when I'm in midpost! I'm working on our desktop now but I don't have any photos of cards on this computer so I'm unable to post a new card until I get one made!

In the meantime I wanted you to know I'll be back to crafting as soon as I can ! Here is a picture taken from our tour bus on Tortola in the eastern Caribbean sea. We are high up overlooking the island of Virgin Gorda. I have never seen water so blue! I think the picture looks fake and I was there!

Anyway, this is all I have to leave you with today, but I am working on my Magnolia-licious frame card between catching up on laundry and bills! I hope to post it tomorrow (Friday) morning! Then I can come around and see what all of you have been creating with this great challenge!

Until then, thanks so much for stopping by!

You are a Peach!

Good morning! We're back at home safe and sound AND I got a card made! I did get my summer kit, but while figuring out what to start with I decided to get out an older image (that hadn't seen ink!). It is peach season here now and the ones we've had are delicious! Diana has the peach and peach branch in stock, but I don't see the Tilda right now. If you interested, be sure to contact her! The Magnolia do hicky dies are marvelous! They cut the card stock beautifully and don't get stuck in the die! Love them!
I colored Tilda in the following colors:
skin E000, E11, and R30
basket Y21, YR24 and E25
Hair E33, E25 and E29
leaves YG25 and YG17
sleeves E42 ad E43
Dress, boots, scarf and peaches Yr21, Yr12, YR65 and YR18

Today the guy is here to clean the carpets and the noise is so loud I can hardly hear myself think! Maybe these pictures will take me back to last week when we were on vacation!

These are sunrises on two different days.

Thanks so much for coming by! Have a great day!
