Card Share...

I won, I won, I won! I won the March Mojo Challenge! The prize was a $5 gift certificate from PTI, where I picked up this rockin' grunge stamp set. It's just perfect for those BOY cards! Beth also sent me some cute little embellies. My favorites were SUPER CUTE clay cupcakes made by her daughter! I got inspired and made up a card right away! Isn't that cupcake GREAT?


Another bit of news is that the old fashion rose bush that I got from my friend Mary in Ohio is finally blooming! I can't remember how many years it has been three? four? The flower isn't open all the way, but I couldn't wait to post the photo! WHOOHOO!!! Look Mary! It's blooming! And there are lots more buds.

Happy Monday, everyone! Have a great week!

Totally Random Saturday

This photo makes me smile and lol! This is a picture of BJ. I can't take credit for it... Chris took it with his new camera. My blog share today is all Chris's work. I haven't done anything this week except work... some really loooooong hours... In the meantime Chris was on Spring break, being crafty with his camera and photoshop.

Look at this! Isn't it cool? If you have some 3D glasses, but them on! Chris made a 3D image! He tried using Jena as part of the picture, but Jena wouldn't hold still for the two photos that he needed to make this.

Well, that's it for now. Have a great weekend everyone!

Joy Captured - Hail.

What a NIGHT! Thunder, lightning, and HAIL! What fun is HAIL? It falls from the sky, first at BB sized balls, and then as pea sized balls. It turns the ground white. It makes a lot of racket! AND they make great snowballs!

Add to that lightning, thunder, three dogs barking, and lots of laughter! It was a fun, WILD night!

A visitor from North Carolina...

Meet Flat Stanley... he looks a lot like our nephew Alex.

Flat Stanley came to stay with us for a few weeks...

We went a lot of places: Mission San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point for some whale watching, and surfing at the beach. One of the fun activities, we took him to was the Turkey Trot Race.

He did really well... he came in FIRST PLACE!

Not all things went well. Flat Stanley and Jena got into a little fight... Jena won.

Not to worry... Cheryl just finished Physiology at school, so she patched him back up. He's as good as new. He and Jena made up and are friends again.

It's been fun, but it's time for Flat Stanley to go home. He is leaving with a little mini-book of his adventures.

Good-bye, Flat Stanley.... Say "Hi" to Alex for us!

Joy Captured - Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I love Jim every day, so why celebrate it on February 14th? The reason... two words... chocolate and flowers! I love the flowers that Jim got for me. They are perfect since the stupid squirrel ate all my tulip bulbs in the backyard. I just love tulips. Aren't they beautiful? ... And the chocolate is overflowing at our house today. Gotta LOVE chocolate.

I hope you all had a wonderful day of love!

Joy Captured - Happy Birthday, Jim!

Why is Jim's birthday one of my joys? Well, birthdays mark the passing of time... much like anniversaries. Another year has gone by, with it's all it's joys. {plus, it's Jim getting another year older... not me, hehehe!} He's 59 years old with retirement in sight. I still have years of work left... years and years...

I LOVE you, Jim!

Joy Captured - Flowers from my girl

My JOY this week was coming home Friday night after a 48 hour work week and finding a BIG bouquet of yellow roses. Cheryl cut them from the backyard; arranged them in a vase tied with a pretty ribbon; and left them in the spot where I would see them immediately after I walked in the door.

Big {{{HUGS}}} and KISSES to my sweet girl!!!

Joy Captured

Here's another new project for 2011. I've joined the challenge on Jill's blog to capture my word for the year on film. I've put a lot of thought into it and decided that my word for this year will be "JOY." Here is my first week's attempt at capturing JOY!

There is nothing like watching Jena play ball. If only everyone could be so happy chasing a ball across a field!
