Our new RV. Perfect for our camping and Geocaching trips. We call it Geo-camping.


















It's a 22 ft. Salem made by Forest River.
































The bedroom is at the very front, the full bath at the rear. Perfect for us and our dogs.

We love this RV, but are having some difficulties with it. Please visit often as we blog our experiences.

Some projects to share.

Some of my more recent projects........

These are a pair of birthday cards. I made one for my mom and the other for a close friend. I especially like this card. It's unique, but very easy to make. It folds perfectly flat like a regular card, but is a little fancier when opened. It's fun.





My stepson graduated from high school from South Kitsap High School last month. I wanted to make something a little different for him. I took one of his graduation invitations and cut out the mascot, year and crest. Using the class colors, this is what I came up with. He really seemed to like it.







On Mother's Day, Don & I got together with my mom and a couple of close friends for breakfast. My best friend, Terri, was supposed to join us, too. Unfortunately, Terri unexpectedly ended up in the hospital. I made an exploding box card for each of the ladies. Each box has pictures of their own husbands, children and grandchildren. They really loved them. It takes me several hours to make one, but I think they are my very favorite type of card.







I hope everyone had a Happy 4th. of July. Thanks so much for visiting.

April 7th. is our 14th. wedding anniversary.

I wanted to do something a little different for my husband's card. Something special for a very special husband. He's the love of my life.

I made Don this little box card. I think it's really cute.First you remove the lid.

The sides fall open. Each side has three pages.Each page has a picture or special sentiment on it. One picture is from our wedding.

A few pages represent things we like to do together.

I think this little box was what I was looking for........something really special.

Thanks for stopping by.

Card Patterns challenge card for sketch #7

This is a neat sketch from Card Patterns. It's #7. They put a new one out each Friday. The deadline to get your cards in is the following Friday at 11:59 p.m..

I especially like this one. I'm going to save it to make more. I tied the larger flowered piece on with the ribbon so it is removable. It could be saved and used for a bookmark.

Here is the sketch.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day.

Happy Birthday, Ryan!!!!!!!!

This is a fun card that I made for my little brother's birthday. He's a guitar player and lives and breaths guitars.

I used the Sketch Reveals March 15th. sketch from Deanne Burton's blog called Just My Sketches. I love her sketches.

Have a great day!!
