Peachy Keen - FMS121

 

Looks like Crisp Cantaloupe has become my go-to color for Valentines this year.........probably because cantaloupes make me think of summer which makes me think of picnics and barbecues and grass and warm sunshine..............fun to think about when there is a wind chill of 20 below outside with blowing and drifting snow!  

I am hosting this week at  Freshly Made Sketches!  Join us and have fun playing with shapes!

So Sweet - FMS120,CC2

Love the Sweet Sorbet DSP from Sale-A-Bration this year! Actually I love everything sweet - I've never met a bakery I didn't like! Grandma Millie's is a bakery just outside of town located at our County Airport. It's location is unique and the homemade treats are wonderful but because it is just off the beaten path business isn't booming.  Enter Bakery Boss! Buddy Valastro and his crew came to the area recently and Grandma Millie's got a makeover.  Emma and her parents enjoy breakfast there weekly and were there during the filming of the final update segment of the show. Looks like Emma was more interested in breakfast than the cameras! No word yet when the show will be aired..........

Breakfast is over......looks like she has a plane to catch!

Rita has a wonderful banner sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

The Card Concept is having a texture challenge this week.  The new Decorative Dots embossing folder from SAB adds a wonderful pebbly look to the banner on my CAS card.

Hearts aren't just for Valentine's Day!  Hearts plus the new Banner Blast set from SAB along with Sweet Sorbet DSP make a sweet baby card.  Thought you might enjoy a photo of that sweet baby girl that keeps us busy most days.  Here's Emma and her Grandpa practicing for a new Olympic Sport.......Boxsledding! Sochi here we come!

So Many Thanks! FMS119

The Retro Fresh DSP and lots of stamped thank yous from Another Thank You combine to make a fun way to say thanks! Considering the winter we are having in NY there are many people around here who deserve a huge thanks -  the mailman, the paper boy, the plow crew, that UPS guy :)  How they are all managing to keep up I will never know!  And then there is that amazing septic tank crew - that's right the septic tank crew.  During the coldest week of the winter the septic tank at our camp "went south".  My son lives there year round so we needed help as soon as possible!  A few days after our call heavy equipment showed up along with a crew who managed to dig up the old and install a whole new system in a day. Not easy when it is 12 degrees with the wind blowing off the lake and the ground is frozen!   Of course we did have to make "other arrangements" for a few days.  Notice where my son had them put that other arrangement......he decided if he had to go outside he might as well have a lake view......... 

I loved Cindy's slightly askew sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Such fun!
