Thankful for His Promises!

We had a pretty wild weather day here in the beautiful Pacific NW- nothing in comparison to the Midwest definition of *wild*- but still pretty awesome. I'm a *weather watcher*- love watching storms, clouds, rainbows, etc. etc. God really puts on a display :) Today we had beautiful billowy clouds with silver linings, black ominous clouds, about an inch of hail ( my poor baby flowers! ) and this most awesome rainbow...I just can't help but say a thankful prayer everytime I see a rainbow: thankful for what an amazing thing it is, in and of itself, thankful for the eyes to see the beauty of it, and especially thankful that Scripture tells us that it's a reminder of God's Promise to us, that He would never flood the earth again (and thereby watching over us and caring for us forever :) At one point it was even a *double* bow across the sky.


I love it when you can see both ends! If I had a wider angle lens, I could have gotten the whole thing! Have a beautiful day- resting in the Promise of God ><>

Springtime *Random Blessing*

I made some fun cards for my friends- used up some hoarded background paper, printed the sentiment on my computer, punched the leaves and flowers out of scraps and of course added a little glitz!
This is the inside- I went on Ebay and found a 'lot' of the old flower seed Starbucks cards- took them in and had them load enough for 1 drink:) In hindsight, I suppose it would have been way way cooler to have the card match the Starbucks card...but I started off on a rabbit trail with the other colors....Happy May Day ><>

Happy Tree :)

So my little dogwood tree just bloomed this week- in spite of all the humiliation I put it through by hanging decorations on it, and the late frost we had....I think it's beautiful! And God does a WAY better job of decorating it than I ever could :) ><>

My stamping buddy...

This is Daisy, my constant companion...at least when it's her idea...and usually smack dab in the middle of whatever it is I'm trying to do...stamp,bead,watch tv,read,or sleep :) I've had cats all my live long days, but I've never had one that lays upside down like this! It's her *comfort* position, I guess- she's totally relaxed and ready to nap. Hmmnnnn...did somebody say *nap* ????? Happy Saturday ><>

It's a boy.....

This is for my cousin's daughter's baby shower ( does that make her my 2nd cousin? I never can figure that stuff out!) I've had this little plaid guy forever- I'm going to guess it's a *Rubbernecker* image I bought UM at a convention. Just love him! (or her, if she's pink :) The words are some I made before I started H&S - it's actually a clear stamp from over 15 years ago...It was tons cheaper than rubber back then (and probably is again...funny how things come full circle!) I used a Kaleidocolor stamp pad, and a little bit of my glitter glue gel pen (love THAT thing too!) ><>

I LOOOOOVE Ebay :)

Where else in the universe can you find totally off the wall cheap stuff that you don't need that makes you smile every time you see it ???? Somewhere along the way I must have decided to stay a kid, because my stamp room has all kinds of *toys* in it too (BESIDES the stamps...which of course, are NOT toys....heheheheh) and this is the latest edition to the *toy box* that is my work space/desk :) ><>

Happy Anniversary Dad & Mom :)

Super easy/quick card that I made at a Stampin' Up club thingy awhile back- turned it into an anniversary card for my folks :) Probably self explanatory to you Stampin' Uppers ><>
