It's Time Again, for another Challenge #26!

Hello crafty friends,  Today starts another challenge at FarmQuest Country Christmas.   For this challenge I designed a cute trio of Snow Peeps, they are all decked out with colorful scarves each holding a plaque of Love* Faith* and Family*  after all, isn't that what Christmas is all about.  Adding in some sparkle using Stickles in Frosted Lace.  And speaking of the Holiday Season.. it's almost here!   Which I can hardly believe.   Here is the card I made.   Here in my neck of the woods, this weekend we could see temps going up to the 60's then plunge down into the 20's over night.... well.. this is the mid west what did we expect??  Possible snow flurries... we'll see... the weather people do try their best to predict.  :)  Be sure to check out and add in your creation to FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge = November 7th - December 5th.   Be sure to leave some comment love, I enjoy reading.   Thank you for stopping by, Blessings, Mary

Challenge #25 starts today

 Hello everyone,  today begins a new challenge over at Farm Quest Country Christmas Challenge Blog.  

Here is the card I made:   This is my own photography that was taken when my husband and I were out driving around in the country on a very cold January day in 2019.   This is one of my favorites.  I love the way the tree branches frame the sunshine.   Shadows of blue across the wind swept snow.    There is beauty in the winter with the reminder that Spring is not too far off.    I hope you liked scenes from Indiana.  

Come join us for the Blog Challenge, October 7th - November 5th

Blessings,  Mary

Hi all, Winter Images

 

Is it too early for Winter themed images?   If you are in the U.S. side of the woods, Summer is coming to a close and we'll be welcoming the Autumn time with all its beauty.   Then by gosh,  Christmas is right around the corner.   But for now, as we walk into the stores around town we are greeted by all things ghostly and eerie.

The above image is PNG, I'm not really that familiar with the difference between that and JPG.   You may resize it to your hearts content, just flavor it up the way you like it.

Let's see lets play another round of what surrounds me. 

The movie that's playing is, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner from 1967

It's a slow going story.   Sometimes I do enjoy watching a slower type of movie. 

Other types I enjoy watching, not all will be listed:

Love is a Many Splendor Thing

The Sound of Music

Love Laughs At Andy Hardy = Mickey Rooney

Pride and Prejudice 1995

84 Charing Cross Road 1987

The Spirit of St Louis

Walk The Line

The Out Of Towners

TRON = My husband's favorite from the 1980's

Anyway,  I will close this post and say good evening to you.

Blessings, Mary
