Houston we have a problem

We have a problem with the Freebie page not sure why it wont come up as a regular page, it seems like its in the edit mode.   Okay, well I just woke up, I will see to this problem later on today.  I may have to bring the freebies to the front (home) page.   When I'm in edit mode it shows the buttons to update, and I'm clicking on that button but nothing happens.  So thank you Maxine, for pointing that out.   Wowzers.    

This weekend is the big game.... We've never been sports fans, so that won't effect us. lol     By the looks of the weather today, snow must be on the menu.   I don't remember ordering any snow.  :)   See ya later gators, have a crafty weekend.  Hug, Mary    

 

Gribbit, gribbit

 Gribbit, means "hello"...   here is a cute little drawing of a frog couple.  My inspiration came from it being so close to Valentines Day.   

This one won't be offered for free.   I will at some point create a card using this image, but for now its just outlined.

The name of this image is simply... Gribbit. 

Here's "hopping" you have a great crafty weekend.

Hugs, Mary

New page

 Hello crafty friends,  I would like to Welcome our new followers thank you for following my lil' ol' blog.  

 I have added a new page on my blog, Freebie Friday.   I do have some guidelines set up in order to use my images, cause even though I no longer have an online shop I am still a designer of Createful Heart Designs.  :)   

I have been tossing around some ideas of opening up another shop, but for now I am taking some time off.   I don't know that I will ever have another online card challenge it was fun while it lasted but I am way too busy with my job.    When I do decide to get things going again with a shop, I will be sure to let you all know.  The best place to find that info would be on this blog, as I am streamlining things a bit. 

Okay, hubs will be home in a few hours, and I have to get thinking about dinner.  Since its a "soupy" kind of day with lots of rain showers, makes me think of having soup.   :)

Have a good day,  Hugs Mary

Wittle firefly

 I cannot resist wittle creatures like fireflies!  Catching them when I was little and keeping them in a jar was just something magical.   Renea Bouquets has the kit to create those neat memories.   Renea has created these fireflies in such a cute and adorable way!   Of course when I am using glue it doesn't matter if I'm careful or not, the glue seems to ooze out no matter what, so for the bottom firefly I needed to add in more flowers from my own stash and it seems to work out perfectly.  I used Beacon 3-in-1 craft glue, but you might want to use hot glue.   I didn't want to risk burning my fingers just to glue these down.   Now in the kit, you could add a name or word not more than 6 letters, I selected the word Grace because I am always reminded of God's grace towards me.    Eph. 2:8-9    I may add the letters in later, but to show you how this can look I just had to finish it tonight.    And yes, its nearly 3:00 AM.   This was a very easy and fun craft.   I love the touch of whimsy.  :)

Let me know what you thought of this project, leave a comment.   Thanks.  

Hugs, Mary

Yellowstone Park circa 1915

 Hello!   The snow has been slowly melting, would be nice to see it all melt away.   Spent the morning baking a loaf of white bread, doing a few loads of laundry, reading and just relaxing.   This evening as I cleared away things on my desk I ran across this Yellowstone Park travel brochure circa 1915, thought you might enjoy some photos.  :)

As I have looked over these photos I wonder if the little cabin still exists or maybe just the ruins.   Have any of you been to Yellowstone Park?   We've never had the time much less the money to explore those places. 

This brochure was given to me by my husband's parents.

Starting a new subject. :)   I have a couple of projects that I will be working on and will be sharing those with you.  Using these beautiful butterflies.

These pretties came in a package of 5 they are created by Renea Bouquets.  Absolutely beautiful.   This was my first purchase from her company.

I am thankful for all my followers. ♥  Hoping that you all are well.

Hugs, Mary

Have a blessed day.

 

Hello

 Since we are in the middle of a snowstorm it wont be possible for me to be online tonight.  Using my phone just to check in. The internet is out right now and who knows when it will be on again.  

Hugs, Mary

2-2-22

 I just couldn't resist making a post on a day that has so many "2's" .  ;)   Hey, just want to welcome a new follower Chrissy B.!    This blog has been floating around in cyber space for like ever and its time to give it some blog love.  ;)   

I don't really have much to talk about only its another work day after being off for 2 days.    No snow yet just lots of rain so far,  Indiana weather is so unpredictable. 

Let's see I did make a card for CCAYR but I posted it to my other blog me thinks I need to move it over here.     Okay I will do that later on today I need to get ready to go here soon.    Take it easy, if you are in the path of the Winter Storm please be careful.

Hugs, Mary

If it ain't broken....

 Don't fix it.   This goes with the fact that I have decided to stay with this lovely blog after all. Sorry for any confusion.   I just don't want to possibly be associated with a blog that is full of spam, that would not be right.   So, if you would like to become a follower, I would love it.  Thank you!

The other blog - createful memories will become a relic.   Okay, well it's another work day tomorrow.   

Hugs, Mary

If you are in the path of any of these winter storms like we are, please stay safe.   We have plenty of kerosene for the heater if we should have to use it.
