Today & Yesterday

     

We returned home from our grandson's today.

It was sad to leave, because we had such a great time.

But as soon as I unpacked and straightened things out here at home,

I got busy!

Last week I purchased a block of Mystery Foam 

after watching Jane Powell's You Tube demo

about printing with this product.

I was really excited about trying it out.

Above you can see a bit of dried Purple Aster from my garden.

I made a Mystery Foam stamp from the 'dead head'

and then stamped it repeatedly on this piece of card stock:

My first stamp was made using this doily

I printed this segment on a notecard.

I also made a stamp from this interesting weed leaf:

more dried asters:

I stamped this one on a piece of white cotton.

these were all too much fun!

In the meantime, I had a pot of vegetable soup simmering away on the stove:

I am now using some of the veggies that I froze over the summer,

hence the green beans in the block of ice.

Two Christmas pictures of our sweet little Charlie:

I think that his first birthday in November
helped him learn how to unwrap presents.
He had a great time!


I always enjoy being asked to put Charlie down for his nap:

If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a wonderful one.
If not, hope your day was loads of fun.
