RWB Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Today's SSC challenge is RWB and a star too! Well I was able to put together a card today and even though it didn't turn out as I thought it's... growing on me! LOL Some cards are works of art and some are just okay. This one is just okay. I finally colored one of the beautiful Sarah Kay images that my dear friend Priscilla sent me. I am intimidated by all the little details on these stamps. I would've liked to make the bows red and white, but just couldn't see trying to get all those tiny dots white! The same with the picnic cloth it would've been so cute red and white or blue and white. Oh well it's done and it's not horrible I guess. As you can tell from the past few cards I've done I really like the opaque white for wet embossing. I thought I'd go with a different star this time around. I also used star beads...that's what the small silver stars are. I also had some of this red & white fiber from a swap on sb.com probably 2 yrs ago by now.

I thought I'd also post a couple of pix of my flowers. The garden spot isn't weeded enough yet, so I'll only post the ones in pots. The potty chair has red impatiens and a spiky accent plant. And of course I had to have some purple petunias for my mailbox. Once the flower garden is cleaned up I'll take some pix of that and oh I really need to take some pix of my small vegetable garden. The cilantro is nearly to my waist and hey I'm 5'11" so thats one tall cilantro plant! The tomatoes are nearly as tall. The peppers may become overshadowed by the tomatoes hey this is my first veggie garden. give me a break. LOL. The cucumbers aren't that tall but do have blossoms and some of the blossoms even have a tiny cuke on them! So here are the potted flowers.




















Oh and Mitch has been lucky enough
to find a ride for rehearsals. So we don't get to Adrian as much but I thought I'd post a pic of The Spotted Cow. The ice cream place with free WIFI. They have some wonderful flurries there. The hand dipped ice cream is yummy too. Tomorrow Mitch has a ride there but needs me to come and get him. Its funny how you're used to running and then when you don't you think you can finally get some stuff done, but it's nice to just sit and relax for once too! At least I have time to cook a little better than just sandwiches or hot dogs. :D.





Hope you have a great week and I hope to have another post or two this week. Thanks for dropping by!

Adrian

Tim and I are sitting in Adrian MI while Mitch is at rehearsal for High School Musical 2. The Big Boy here has free WIFi but no electrical outlets. UGH. Just gotta use your battery, so hopefully Mitch isn't rehearsing too much longer.

Oh and I twitter now, so if you want to add/follow me I'm CreativeCarmen Mitch also twitters and I he's mdude892002. I follow GMA, Ellen DeGeneres, Emeril, Paula Deen as well a few others.


Guess I won't be on much longer as it appears I only have a few minutes left. Hope you're having a great Monday!

Catch up

Just a quick post. Last week Mitch auditioned for a few different musicals that will be performed at the Croswell Opera House Theater in Adrian, MI. The musicals are High School Musical 2, The Producers, Rent and City of Angels. City of Angels is the only one I don't know anything about. I don't think Mitch does either. Last week Tues he got a call back for HSM 2. He was to be there today at 6:30pm. So I picked up Tim from work and we headed up to Adrian. It's about a 45 minute drive. There is only a short time on the expressway. Most of it is county hwy or country roads. So there is a lot of slowing down to 30 or 35 mph while traveling through various small towns. Of course today it had to rain and snow shower on the way up. It only misted on the way back. We stopped and got some supper and then while Mitch was there for nearly two hours we browsed through Big Lots and Meijer. Then we went back and waited in the car, while reading. I thought he should've been done so went in and checked and they were still going strong. So back out to the car. I didn't want to read anymore since I was driving and didn't want to be sleepy. Here is the link for Croswell if you're interested in taking a peek. It's funny, though it is much nicer than the Modjeska it still smells the same when you enter the theater. I guess it's that historic theater smell :D. Here are some photos I took on the 21st.

Adrian is growing but I was surprised to find that the closest Michael's is the one I go to in Toledo!! There is a Big Lots right next to Hobby Lobby how funny is that? But of course HL is closed on Sundays.

Noah is spending time with a new girl. He stayed with a friend last night and then I drove him to this girl's house today. He watched 3 movies with her today. Friday night he hung out at the mall and went to the movies then too. I thought he was just with guy friends as that's what he told me and this girl was hanging out with her bff. Well when I get there to pick him up he's taking forever to come out to the car. When he finally does show up he's with two girls. Of course it's the girl and her bff.


I went to SIT's monthly crop yesterday and I really didn't get much done. I didn't pack as well as I thought so I only started one thing and worked on a card. We played games as it was SIT's 4th birthday. And of course it's a pot luck crop, so there is always yummy food!

Next week Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog begins. I hope you check it out and try out the challenges.

I ordered for the first time from PeachyCheap. I will let you know what I think when I receive the stamps. There was an alphabet clear set on Friday I believe, couldn't pass up the great bargain!


Have a wonderful week!
