Just for Fun

Hello!

I'm afraid the nasty bug that has been making it's way around

the country has landed smack-dab in Northern Illinois,

so I am coming to you from the comfort of my new bed.

{more below}

I have my laptop, calendar, DT submissions,

the current paper crafting magazines, the TV clicker

and a hot cup of tea...I reckon I am going to get a lot done

without the distractions of all the paper & embellishments in

the creative nook.

I actually created these cards a couple weeks ago, but I've not had any blog space to share them ..... LOL

When Paper Smooches offered this sweet tree set called 'Gently Seasoned',

I knew I had to have it.  I used a variety of my FAVORITE inks from

A Muse Studio in Latte, Shell & Slate

The sentiment is from The Paper Company.

I am loving using my Lacey Circle die from Spellbinders and thought it would be fun to stack them for this card.

I have been holding on to this paper from Cosmo Cricket because I absolutely love it.

This card is pretty self-explanatory.

I mentioned my comfy bed a moment ago.

If you follow me on Facebook, you know a few weeks ago

Paul and I went on a search for a new bed and mattress.

We've had the same bed for the past 20+ years, as it is a family

heirloom having been in our family for over 75 years.

But it was only a full size and we felt that it was time to give ourselves

just a little more room.

It's a cherry wood Sleigh bed and we really do love it.

We went on a 4-hour search for the bed clothes and settled on this beautiful

set from Martha Stewart for Macy's.

The new mattress is fab and is the perfect place for me to get work done

while I'm feeling under the weather.

Thanks for stopping by today...and for indulging little personal notes.

I miss just sharing little bits of life with you, so I am going to try and

slip in the occasional post with just fun things I've created.

I'll be back at midnight EST with a new challenge from

CAS-ual Fridays.
