Happy Saturday

Sunrise - Jan. 1. as seen from our back porch.

Scott and family are fostering a momma cat and her 2 kittens.  Here is one staring out the window at AG the family african grey parrot.  It was so cute.  They were nose to beak thru the window.

This is a birthday "book" card I made for Madison.  She turned 14 on Jan. 1  Each section or "page" is closed and held in place with a magnetic strip.

Pages 1 and 2 open up to revel a pocket on one side to hold a gift card and a place for a note.  Lift up under the yellow scalloped edge and turn the page  to revel pages 3 and 4.

Pages 3 and 4 revel a packet of hot cocoa mix and then a rice crispy treat.  Both to be enjoyed while reading your new book or magazine.

Here is the side view of the card "book"

Wow! Can't believe that it has been a week since I fell and broke my foot (ok, week and 3 days!) I go to the orthopedic doc on Thurs so anxious to hear how much longer I am non weight bearing and how long I will be in the chair.   Life in the wheelchair has certainly been an eye opener.  I will be much more tolerate and patient when waiting on Ken to get ready.  It takes me 15 steps to do something I could do in 2 steps.  But we are coping and adjusting.  I have learned how to sweep the floors and mop from the chair, make the bed - albeit it does look a bit lumpy.  Scott came over Tues. and took me to the store.  Before he left he filled the bird feeders to the brim.  By Fri. they were both empty.  They are sitting on the tree and feeders staring at the kitchen window....probably wondering why I am not out there refilling the feeders!  They are so fat - surprised they can even fly (tee hee hee).  What I am missing most is not being able to get out to my shop.  Ready to start working on Valentines and I am housebound!!!  So today I got out the 178 page manual on My Digital Studio and will start learning how to use it and do cards, scrapbook pages, postcards, etc. digitally.  I am looking forward to learning how to do it.  The pictures today were taken between the 31st of Dec. and Jan 1.  Hope you enjoy the pics and enjoy the rest of the weekend.  We have rain today - so outside is wet and grey.  But it is so needed this rain that I am not complaining.  Love to all.  Ken and Glynda :)

  1. Loved the new pictures. I am happy to come and bring you some supplies in if you want to start on something. Monday is a holiday and I am home with the girls, we could come by for a visit. Also, I am not working on Fri and usually have half a day on Wed. So, just let me know and I can come over and do some project together. And to let you know, I am not afraid of house work either, so please let me know if you need anything. Maybe you will want to come out and join us Saturday for the scrapclub, I can come get you!
    Love, Deb
