Fab 5 Day 2

Good morning to another Fab 5 day! Today's challenge was using Spellbinders. I used the squares and scalloped squares on this card. Don't forget to visit everyone else and see all the fun ideas.

P.S. I found my Copic pens in the last box I opened yesterday. What a relief! Still looking for ribbon, rubber mat for my Cuttlebug, and a few other choice items I miss.

Have a great day!

Hi everyone! I am sorry I haven't been keeping up my blog very well lately....well...err..maybe a few months too long! Anyway we are getting all settled in here for the most part. I am having a hard time finding things as boxes are labeled and the contents inside is not what I am expecting. I just found my Cuttlebug last night. I have yet to find my Copic markers! Which is really having me in a panic to say the least.

The picture above is the room that is going to be my craft room when all is said and done. Though it doesn't look like it, the color of the room is Dreamsicle orange. I am changing it to a green. I will take more pictures when it is done and all put together. It is a nice large room so I will have plenty of area to organize my goodies (once they are all located)!

The other picture is of the sunrise out my back door. This doesn't give it any justice! It was so pretty and colorful! I ran to get my camera and in that short time it had already changed. We have the large oak trees in our back yard with spanish moss hanging from them. Since we are on the marsh area off the river everyday egrets, geese, duck, herons, and other birds fly in. In the morning I love getting up and going out onto the porch with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise and listen to the geese and other birds on their morning missions. It is a relaxing start to my day.

Other than unpacking I have been staying pretty busy. I started taking some classes, found some of the local libraries, grocery stores, post offices, and all of that good stuff. We have joined the local Richmond Hill Historical Society. They have guest speakers every month and arrange trips to local interest sites. We went and saw the Henry Ford Plantation a week ago. They have taken the land and made it into a private gated community. Very beautiful! Savannah is about 20-25 minutes away. That is where you will find the malls, Bass Pro, and all of that type of stuff. We did go to the historical district a few weeks ago to celebrate our anniversary at the Olde Pink House. Wonderful, delicious dinner! We had a really nice evening. We are planning to make another trip soon to check out the rest of the area.

Well, I promise to keep up better with my blog. I have given my address and phone to Leann if anyone is interested. If you are every down our way give us a call! Miss you all!

Fab 5 Day 1

Well, is everyone ready? Back to the fun Fab 5. Today we are using Judith stamps. I hope you like my Halloween card. It was interesting to make a card when you are challenged with what you have....lol. If you read my earlier post you know I have yet to find my Copic Markers-among other things.I pop dotted the little ghost sheet so it added some dimenion. So today's card was colored with good old fashioned crayons! See you all tomorrow.
