Random.org picked #118.

That is Nancy Morgan with this PURPLE card.

I already laughed when I saw her entry. Serves me right that a purple colored card wins a raffle!

Maybe I will learn to love it.

Back from the Mountains

We came back from the Smoky Mountains last night.

We had a great time although we only had rain except for the first day.

It was still fun though. Rick made sure we went to lots of different places every day. I think we rounded those mountains at least twice.

The kids loved the cabin with the gas fireplace, the hot tub and the pool table. It was nice to come back to that. We didn’t really rough it. LOL

Fresh & Freebies winner

Sorry it’s a bit late. Rebecca is home sick and I have a migraene as well. We both took a nap. Darn those allergies. First time in my life that I have some. I think it’s the Azaleas that bloom here like crazy. They are so pretty, but deadly for me.

 Anyway…..random.org picked #157, that is Brenda!

 Thank you all for your kind words. You are the BEST!!!!

I will be hiding back in a dark corner of the house now. Hugs and smiles

We were out today

Sorry for not posting. Guess where we were today?

foot-in-water.jpgrebecca-cold-water.jpg

As you can see, the water was super cold.

It was so nice out today that I had to go to the beach. Austin’s swimming trunks were too small. That boy grew so much since last fall. So he decided to stay home. Rebecca, Lucas and I was well as our neighbors went out and spend some time at the beach.

Then we went out to dinner at P.F.Changs! What a great Sunday!

Sorry no stamping. I started card for the Featured Stamper challenge, but it isn’t finished yet. I can hopefully share it with you tomorrow.

Have a great Sunday evening! Hugs and smiles
