Summer is coming!

 Well, we have been back in Maine for about a month! It has finally warming up!! I have been busy making cards and gardening and playing golf!

The cards above were made from the SVG file from my Scrap Chick.  It is her freebie for the month! I love it! Easy to make too!!  It is such a cheery card- Don't you think!

I also purchased this SVG from My Scrap Chick because I love how the stars explode from the card. 

It is called a Tuxedo Card and Scrap Chick has a bunch of different designs.

Just to show you I haven't been too lazy since I got home- I have been working on adding some rustic looks to my backyard.  I planted succulents in the teacups I got from the thrift store.  

I did paint this bike but I love all the rust that is on it and hope to add some more this season.  I also think I will add another basket of flowers to the rear of the bike. 

This birdcage was fun to do!  I love the purple color against the black.  It was a challenge since 

the opening is very small to put the flowers in.  But I can't wait to see how it does.   That is my update since we got home.  I will try and do better in posting items this summer.  I think it is going to be a fun one!  Take care!

Happy St. Patrick's Day (past) & Happy Easter!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Ok, it did get away from me! The time is just flying by here in Florida!  

There is so much to do here!  We did go to an Irish restaurant just before St. Patrick's Day!  We would never go on the actual holiday!  It was busy enough before the holiday- can't imagine what it would be like on the holiday!  Anyway, I made some St Patrick Day goodies for our golf league this year.  I got the SVG file from My Scrap Chick.  I just love their designs!

This Monday I will be bringing some Easter treats!  This SVG file was free from My Scrap Chick too!

I love the fact that they do provide a video that shows you how to put together the project!  I did add

some stuff to the back of the box- I love the cute bunny tail!  I also didn't use the dispenser since I added some wrapped candies to the box.  But the dispenser is a really cute idea!

Diamonds in the Ruff is the name of our golf league.  It is a fun bunch of women who love to have

a good time!  We might not be the best golfers but we do know how to have fun!

Our time here is very quickly coming to an end  I say that but I know that back home (Maine) just had

a big Snow and Ice storm!  We won't be heading back until that is all gone!  I hope!

Ask me how hard it will be to leave this beautiful place!  But I do feel the pull of home.  Our families are there and it is nice to be able to spend some time with them!  Hope everyone is well and having a fun time crafting!  

Happy Valentine's Day 2024

I had such fun making these LOVE BUG lollipop holders!  I purchased the SVG file from Spot of Tea Designs over on Etsy.  You can find them here-

They are really easy to make and such fun!

I made them for our Women's Golf League called Diamonds in the Ruff.  This group of women are so much fun!  I am not the greatest golfer in the world but it doesn't matter when you play with good company.  I love them all!!  I think I made about 25 of them. 

I did add the wording and embellishments myself.  We were all bitten by the LOVE BUG!

 

Just to share a couple of pictures with you- the above picture is a puzzle I did 

recently.  Isn't it beautiful!!  I think puzzles have come a long way.  This was a

little more difficult since it does not have a square border.  I loved it!!  

This picture was taken by a friend.  She takes the best pictures!  I am so grateful that

she shared this with me!  It gives me a sense of peace and calm.  I thought I would end my

post with it to pass that feeling of serenity on to you!  Hope you have a fabulous day!!
