Flowers and more flowers.

Here is some more of the cards I worked on over the week-end. I can tell you this much I sure have fun working on these while the kids was playing and running and just going places with their father and other grandmother.  Cheryl loaned my husband some books so he could read.  She loaned him a really good book and he had it finished before we left down there.   He loves to read and I don't so that really works great for us.

Here is some more cards that I worked on:



I have a special friend who I haven't seen in almost one year and she is the one that got me into making my own cards.  Nancy I want to say thank you for all your help.  I hope eveyone will like what they see and enjoy them.

Butterflies and Butterflies.

These took a little bit more time to make cause I had to put the butterflies together.  I had a lot of hard work at first until I figured out what I had to do to get them to come out okay.  But I love the way they turned out so I will be making more of these.




Thanks for coming by and I hope you like what you see.

See what I have been up to in Portland Oregon.

I have been very busy on Thursday and Friday and Saturday.  With NO TV only watching our grandchildren this is what kept me busy.  It is hard for me to just set and do nothing so to do something I brought my making o make Birthday cards.  I also came with my knitting in case I got bored making cards but I didn't.

I made over 30 cards and had some that I left for my daughter in law.  Some I had to finish when I got home.  So now here is a few of them that I have made:


Here is a couple of the ones I made and I'm so glad that I took these with me to get some more done.

Lots more coming on Monday.

This Sunday I will be home from going to Portland Oregon for 4 days.  We brought are 3 of our 5 grandchildren to see the father and New Mom.  They was so happy about coming and the two girls also had appointment with the dentist and they both enjoyed that.  Even the little 4 year old loved it.  BUT they both need a lot of work done on their teeth and now our son and his new wife have a lot of work on their hands.  We left Pendleton at 2:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday and got to beaverton around 7 or 8 pm.  It was a fun trip and the kids was so good.

When we got her our newest granddaughter wanted to show us all around the new house but Mom told her to let the kids show us their own rooms.  We love this place.  It is sooooo big and so nice. There is 4 bedrooms and a family room that we are using as our bedroom while we are here.  PLUS 3 bathrooms but only one tub, but the other two have showers.  It is so big and beautiful.  I would love this place if I lived here.  It is really nice.

Well Thrusday our daughter in law had to go to work so I got my card making stuff out and have made about 20 cards since yesterday and I'm having so much fun.  So watch out for monday and Tuesday as I will be posting them for you to see.

So until I get back home from here take care of yourself and have a great wek-end.  I know we are having fun.  Everyone right now is at the Zoo and having so much fun.  It's to much walking for me my back would be killing me before to long into the walking part.


God Bless and have a great week-end we are.  Thanks for coming by and I will have a lot for you this next week.  See you when I get back.

Thanks for Coming by with us..............

The Finished look, what do you think?

Well I finally got it all finished what I have been wanting to do for three weeks.  But I have been so sick that it was hard to do anything.  I got the kids pictures up with their parents.  Some of them I will change as the kids get older and so on.  Also as time comes I will change the 12 x 12 size pictures also to make them up to date.



The 4 x 6 frames I want to change them to make them black also and so they can lay flat on the wall. The small frames don't match the black frames so I want to change that. We will have to find another wall to put the kids drawing so they know that we love what they do and share with us.



Please let me know what you think of these, I know I like them and I finally got them up.  We are having freezing rain and we can't go anywhere so that gave me something to do.
Thanks again for coming by and I hope you like what you see also.

Chocolate Coconut Truffles - Yummy

Thank you again Lizzy you do a great job on these.

The Story:
Alright, truffles may be a new favorite. First of all, they are totally easy and low maintenance! Second, they are so simple to transport. I freak out when I drive with cupcakes. I seriously need a “Cupcakes on Board” sign for my car window because I drive like an old woman with that precious cargo. These amazing little treats just melt in your mouth.
Ingredients:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup milk chocolate chips
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ teaspoon coconut extract
½ cup shredded coconut

yields 12-15 truffles

Directions:
1. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Scrape down bowl as necessary.
2. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler.
3. Mix melted chocolate into cream mixture until smooth and white streaks are gone.
4. Add vanilla and coconut extract, mix again.
5. Place in a Tupperware and refrigerate until able to scoop (15 minutes).
6. Toast Coconut: Place coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes on 200 degrees until it starts to turn golden brown. Let cool, then put in a ziplock bag and crush using a rolling pin. (smaller pieces stick better to the truffles,)
7. Scoop into small balls (1 ½ tablespoon size).
8. Place in freezer for 30 minutes, then remove and roll into balls using your hands.
9. Roll chocolate balls in toasted coconut and place in mini cupcake liners.




Thank you ladies and I hope you will enjoy these as much as we do.

Our New Little Angel

Hi ladies I want to show you what my husband and I are getting this next Christmas time.  The two you are going to see now we can't have.  But these will look somewhat like the one we will be getting.  But ours will be mixed with Mini Poodle and Maltees.  So that to me means she will be smaller and that is just what we are doing. I will be having another blog candy just before we get our little girl.  I will get a good picture of our little girl or boy.  The mother name is Maggie and if she can do it we want to have a baby girl.  So I will put a picture up and ask for help naming her.  We are thinking if you all come up with the name and if we can't make up our mind about what name we may have to give her two names and we would have two winners.  But that will come about Dec so we all have time to think about it.


These little guys weighs in at  lb a piece so you know they are going to be little.  Our grandkids are going to love ours.



Thanks for coming by and I sure hope you like what you see and now that I'm feeling a little better I will be starting a wedding album and I will share that with you.  Thank you for coming by and I hope you will enjoy.

First three or Last four??

I has been over one year since I started my blog.  I have been having a lot of fun and have meet some wonderful New friends that I wouldn't tried for anything.  I love my blog and I love being on The Hive also.  I have learned so much from all of those wonderful ladies.

What I'm doing today is showing you what I started out with and my last ones.  The first three are the cards that I put on here for the first time of sharing with all of you.  The last four are the ones I did just about two weeks ago.  I have been sick and still is, so I haven't been able to make cards or do anything so I'm here to ask which sets you like the best.









Thank you so much for coming by and I hope you will leave me a comment with which one's you like the best.  Am I making them best or worse and yes I want you to be honest with me. Thank you ladies.

Thanks for Coming by with us..............
