August is ending!

Well, I can't believe it's the end of August already.  Seems like both I just got back from vacation AND that it was forever ago that I was on vacation.  Hmmm, how does that work?!  Well I am thankful either way.  Thankful to have had such a wonderful vacation and thankful to be home.  But, here's a little thought of vacay....  


The card says, "Hoping your day is just PLANE AWESOME"  Hugs everyone!

Bird

 

Here's a CAS card using a patch (fabric patch from sewing) that I adhered to the card with glue dots.  I thought this lovely bird would make a good card and I added stitching behind it in ink.  What a quick and cute card to make using a simple item from Turkiye.

Crabby pinch

 Wow, the end of the second week of school is nearing already.  It feels like it has been so fast and yet so slow at the very same time, lol.  we are in a new facility which as I am sure you would guess still has a lot of kinks to work out.  {sigh}  Posted this card today because i am told this about a dozen times "Thanks for being there in a pinch,"  well, that's my job!  To take care of all those little things.

Missing the cold weather?

Missing that cold weather yet?  I hear so many complaints about how hot it is.  OMG, really people, it's still not as hot as it's going to be next month.  For me, I DON'T.  I don't miss the cold weather at ALL.  Sorry.  Bring on the heat.  I don't love it, but I will deal with it.  WAY better than I will deal with anything cold  I will go out in the heat, but not in the cold.  Any day.

Funny Owl

Here's the funniest owl card that also has some coffee.  It says "You've BEAN on my mind a LATTE."  ha.  You know I love that.  At this point I am missing the coffee from Turkiye.  I know I can just make some myself, but it's so much nicer to go somewhere and have it fresh made for you.

Today marks the first day back at the NEW school.  Hmmm, I wonder how  I will get in the front door.

you light up my life!

Sharing this fun Unity card today to celebrate getting home and being with the DH.  Glad to be back and see him and hear all about his summer and tell him about Turkiye.  It's not like we don't communicate in short bursts through texting in the summer, but that's not the same, I'm sure you all know that.


The lace store will be reopening as soon as I can unpack, take photos and lol, WAKE UP.  Est is Aust 4.
