I can't believe it's the end of summer already. I think everyone has wished it away in my part of the world because of the extreme heat and lack of rain. We had a busy enough summer though for us! In June we had a mini family reunion on Scott's side of his mom's family. We met in South Lake, Texas at a family member's home and had a great time. Most of our kids were able to come home for a week in June too and we got to enjoy them running around the house. I loved hearing them when I came home from work.
In July we had a swim party for the families that I work with. We had so much fun with all the kids there. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and enjoyed watching the kids swim like little fish! I'm amazed at the little ones and how they are not afraid to get out in the deep end.... WOW! Susi and Heidi came the last few days of July, spent a week and left a day or so after my birthday. Had another pool party for Heidi's former work friends and had a blast with them too.... We ended the season last weekend with one more with our dear friends the Fulton-Park families. That's the largest party because they have so many kids and grandkids... We laugh and laugh and laugh when they are here... they are not afraid to pull pranks on each other, and that's just the adults!
After all of that, here it is the end of August, school has started... but, we are going to a Texas Rangers baseball game this Saturday. It's my first major league game of any kind. I'm anxious. We bought our t-shirts yesterday, got them washed and ready to go. Our seats are just passed home plate towards first base. Sure hope I don't get hit by a foul ball, or a fowl ball either! (pun intended!!!!) Scott is taking his glove in anticipation of catching one. I was to have a doctor's appointment on Monday, but got a call today saying, sorry, but he won't be in the office... WHAT??? Off one of my meds since May and he's not going to be able to see me until the middle of next month... but the good side is I've lost 30 pounds since then! And, still having frequent headaches.... surprise surprise surprise!
But this blog is intended to share my ECLECTIC Cards that I'm making...
I have made cards lately, so let me upload one now....I am trying to see if I can't find an outlet or retail place to market my cards locally.... but, I guess I actually need to take some time off at lunch and go ask someone if they will let me put them in their place of business! Duh!!!!
I really enjoyed making this simply card. I think it is very pretty and classy looking. I made another one like it and put pearls in the side openings of the label. That dressed it up for the wedding that I made it for.
Well, off to get ready for our weekend adventure at the baseball
game.... talk to y'all again soon, now that summer is over!
Hugs,
Barb
