Hello Again and Happy September with a YEEHAW! :)

Coffee of the Day - Pumpkin Spice (to celebrate being back to blogging again!)

Hello to all of you lovely peeps!  :)

I know I have been away from blogging for a bit. I took a little break toward the end of the summer, but am back again to say howdy! to put it plainly, Latte dying just took the stuffing right out of me.

I can't say that much eventful has been going on, unless you count numerous car repairs, hubby & I celebrating 29 years of marriage, and watching all 5 seasons of Downton Abbey as excitement. a lovely fall when the front porch stairs collapsed, but other than that, life is just rolling right a long. I hope all of YOU are right as rain!

I have been crafting while away, so will be showing some of those projects in the next few posts. My first project to share is one of the cowboy cards I promised back at the beginning of summer. I'll have another one in to show in a jiffy....

The images are by QKR Stampede and Eureka, papers are from the Carta Bella Giddy Up digital collection, burlap ribbon is May Arts, bark star is from Live and Love Crafts, while everything else is from my stash. inside is the verse that was used for the summer at Camp, Acts 1:8.

Thanks for hanging in there with me! I will try to start making my way around to your blogs in the next day or so. :) love ya oodles!
Jennifer

Coffee of the Day - Maple Walnut

Hello everyone! I am returning from a bit of a hiatus.

the good news is that hubby and I are working on putting together a light box so that I can take photos of my paper craft projects. the even better news is that I am doing some behind the scenes crafting. some I won't be able to show you for a while, but other things I'll be posting soon!

I'll also be doing a bit of spring cleaning here on my blog. give me a bit and you will hopefully see a little difference in the next week or so.

To celebrate my return to blogging, I'll be putting together some blog candy. you'll want to be sure to pop in for that! :)

tell your friends that the coffee pot will be perking once again! I know all of you look forward to hearing about the Coffee of the Day! :)

so pass on the news...... big things are happening here!

Most Extraordinary Computer

Coffee of the Day - Pecan Buttered Rum

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you are doing well.

not a whole lot is going on around here. I'm getting excited about Thanksgiving next week. all of my guys will be home, so I'm thrilled to have my entire family together again for a full house! :)

the other day, David and I went out driving into Cleveland. had lunch in Little Italy at our fave bakery/deli and then decided to pop into the most beautiful cemetery as we were driving back home. it was the Lake View Cemetery and truly one of the most lovely places I have seen in a long time. we spent well over an hour there, while I could easily spend several days roaming the grounds.

over on Facebook, I've been trying to do a month of thankfulness, with a post each day if I'm able. Today I am thankful for my computer. it might sound crazy, but I really am thankful for all I am able to do with my computer and the places it takes me. most especially, I am thankful for the people I have come to know. that includes each of YOU!!!!! :)

this quote seems especially poignant today.

have a great weekend! Jennifer

Just a Hello for the Weekend...

Coffee of the Day - Pumpkin Spice

Hello! I hope all of you are doing well! have big plans for the weekend?

not much is going on around here.... I'm spending a bit more time in bed these days. had some stuff come up that has knocked me down, so into bed I've gone. thought I had better do a little post before someone comes along and hacks into my blog... that seems to be happening more and more these days to blogs I've been following. one day it's crafty stuff and the next you're seeing posts about computers for sale or even more.... ummmmm.... 'interesting things! ;)  would hate to startle any of you with that! I'm sassy enough all on my own. grins!

on that note:

love and hugs to ya!
Jennifer
