Quilled Cards…

002

I quilled these cards for the library’s store…

I got the patterns from Craftcreations.com.

(Yes, this card is different from the top one…)

In other news, I don’t think I’ve been this busy in a long, long, long time! Just when I think I can’t possibly handle anything else…something else comes along. smile. The good news is that I’m eating less and moving more! Clothes are starting to fit better!!

We are busy little bees raising money for our Girl Scout trip to Houston. We bagged groceries over the 4th of July weekend and paid off $256.00 more into each of our accounts. Now Abby only owes $138.00 and I owe $399.00. I think we are actually going to be able to pay everything up with our fundraisers!

Then we were in the parade on the 4th of July. Can’t remember seeing us? Let me refresh your memory…we were the float that had the crazy, sweating, yelling woman running beside it. She was yelling at her husband (at the top of her lungs) to SLOW DOWN!!! She was racing bags of ice cold water to the Girl Scouts and racing empty bags back to the float to be refilled and she lost her mind…more than once. She knows people on the parade route could hear her…but she didn’t care, she yelled again. That blasted float was going too fast!!! Did her husband think she had wheels instead of feet? I think at one time he told her to jump on her broom, that then she could keep up just fine…I think she should be locked up for a nice long rest…

Full disclosure: That “crazy woman” was, sadly, me…my reputation in this town will never be the same…Oh – and my husband never said anything out loud about a broom – his eyes said it…we’ve been married a long time…I know what his eyes are saying…

Happy Crafting!!

You are too funny! Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh-out-loud story. Wish I'd been there to see the parade (and you!) in action. :) Pretty cards!

I am proud of you and Abby for all your hard work for the girl scouts and more. You really rock Kim.
Take care and I'll chatter with you later on. Blessings my friend.
