Trixie
I'm a Christian woman that married a great guy and had three kids.
Interests: Well let's see here, what don't I like to do....hmmm...I don't like to clean the bathroom or do laundry...only because i never get caught up.
I do like to hang out with my husband and my kids.
I enjoy gardening and trying not to kill what I plant. At least, I try to plant the stuff that I buy before it dies in the pot. I have a tendency to hack the livin' day lights out of a plant when I need to prune it.
I love to stamp...especially with my sister (Stampgirl) but that doesn't happen often because we live so far away from each other.
I will occasionally indulge in paper crafting things but it takes me quite some time to finish a project.
Old books have always peaked my interest - if nothing else, I like to buy them to sit on the shelf.
I have begun to "look into" digital photography....simply because of this blog.
Cooking calms me...namely baking. My KitchenAid is my best friend in the kitchen.
That should do it - believe me - I'll let you know if something else shows up!

Dusk
I went out this evening, at dusk, to check on the animals and make sure that the goats hadn't jumped any fences, the cattle were still behind closed doors and the chickens had found their roost for the evening. The... Continue reading

The girls and I went to our first rabbit show today. We didn't know what to expect and we weren't overwhelmed nor disappointed because we weren't showing and we didn't know what our goal for the day was. I can... Continue reading

Time for a little rocket science.
It was time for father and son to bond in a way that really only those two could. It was time to build. Time to create. Time to make things FLY! It has to be just perfect. It is a... Continue reading

Because I can & I want to...
I had to cut a section of my backing off the quilt because it was too big. I couldn't let the discarded piece go to waste. Soooooo... I MADE A TABLE RUNNER!!! (I feel so crafty, I don't know what to do with myself. LOL) Check it out... Detail shots... I love the stitching I used for th...

Why, yes, I do, I have three cuddly cows out back that can't wait to for me to show my face anytime of the day. They moo when I open the door. They run to the fence when I walk outside. You would think it is because they love me so much, but alas, it is only because I am the "bread bringer"
I just can't quit the cuteness
of this one. How could I deny her anything? You want a vulture Bailey? Mama will get one...hang on... You want to use your vulture as pillow? Okay Baby, you go right ahead. You need Mama to get you a blanket too? I would, yep, I definitely would. LOL I can't wait to get home tonight and s...
Darling! Absolutely DARLING!
And the birthdays begin...
I already missed one (sorry Pancho) and will have to make a special belated birthday card for that wonderful, beautiful, sister of mine... but I am on the ball for a couple of birthdays next week. YEAH!! (Just so you know, I did make sure that Pancho had a couple bags of Cartel Coffee Beans just...
Cute! Cute! It looks like the Happy Birthday part is a big rubber stamp with the way the color of the paper is :)....are you sure that you didn't tear a stamp apart to make this one? LOL! Audrey will LOVE it! Hope you got enough sleep last night ..... Yawn~
Penguin Palooza
Yep, the penguins are going crazy over here. They all want to make an appearance on the cards. Perhaps I should feature penguins the rest of the month? Hmmm...now there's an idea!! :) I think this card is soooo much cuter in person. I wish you all could see it. Sigh... Card deets: Stamps...
{Love it!}
Scraps from the other day...
It's basically the same card that I made for the TCP Tuesday color challenge with a few minor changes. The base card is a bit longer and the espresso background runs the width of the card. I moved the focal point to the right and used a different button. In addition, I used one of my own imag...
I would like to order 2 dozen of those please :) You are the best and may I have them overnight?
Have an ice day...
I was all over the place with stamping yesterday. Birthday cards, random cards, just because cards...there was really no rhyme or reason to anything I was doing. What irks my jaw about that, is that every single card takes 3x longer to make than it should. LOL Here's a little card I made with s...
Love how you put the ribbon through the cs and very very very cute too!
TCPTUES188 Challenge
Whew, I just barely made it for the Cat's Pajamas color challenge this week. Did you see the color combo? So yummy!! Here's my card for the challenge for this week... I used three different stamp sets from TCP to make this card. I was having a hard time finding the perfect saying for my ca...
The die is to die for! Love it! and that little bird is so sweet - you need a saying along the lines of Season's Greetings with a bird .... or something about singing or birds or I think I need to stop because it isn't my card :)
Such a pretty bird...
I saw this stamp from Memory Box and had to have it. Much like all the other stamps I have...LOL I also used my new Snowflake Lace die from The Cat's Pajamas, talk about love!! Sigh...so pretty! Card deets: Stamps: Memory Box Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Cryogen White & Kraft Inks: Black & Copic...
Beautiful! Where did you get your star for the top?
Alright Dad, you asked for it...
So here it is... The picture isn't the best but I didn't want to use the flash on my camera. There are so many ornaments jammed on it that I couldn't add any garland. Wait til you see it in person, you will get a good chuckle out of it. Oh! Before I forget. Guess who has been a good girl lat...
so simple. so pretty.
TCPTUES187 Challenge
It's a supply/technique challenge over at The Cat's Pajamas this week. All you have to do is get your bling/shine on. So I did... A close up of the wreath & glitter... Purty, purty, huh? I actually have two versions of the above card and my Hubby liked this one the best so...tah-dahhhhhhh...
I love the design of this card! It is soooo cute! and the colors are yummy! Excellent - I am with Dana on this one - I think it is one of my face's...
May Peace be your gift at Christmas
Isn't that the best saying? I love it. It's from The Cat's Pajamas. Yep. Love TCP too! This is the card I made using that saying... It's a different kind of card for me but hey, I like it. Do you? Card deets: Stamps: The Cat's Pajamas Paper: DP is from American Crafts, Cherry Cobbler, Wil...

Well, I gave my Starbucks Christmas tree a little face lift. Check it out: So what do you think? Do you like the tinsel garland & the little star? I definitely think it looks better, don't you? I really wish you could see it in person. So cute. So, so, CUTE!! LOL Al...
Love those mustaches! They were a hit during Thanksgiving with the kids ..... Love that card to and the sparkles on there are darling! I think you should send that extra card to me too!
Only a couple more days left in November...
