August and Everything After...

(I couldn't resist the Counting Crows reference...it's one of my favorite albums!)

It's August 1st.
Something kept tickling at the back of my mind.

There was something I was supposed to remember today.

Oh Yeah. Voting opens on the Paper Wings Contest. And I entered.
Please vote for me here: Paper Wings Contest.

Hot, Hot, Hot...

Montana is heating up this weekend. It's that sticky, hot heat. No refuge from it except water or hiding in the basement watching movies.

We went to the Farm Table for brunch. Yummy mimosas with my meal. We sat out on the deck and looked out on the farm. Beautiful.

Now I'm home and it's sticky in the house too. I am thinking about going to hide with my book. Or maybe a movie and a mimosa :)

My shop has just hit 75 listings. Lots of fun stuff in there. If you shop between now and the time I hit 100 listings you can use this coupon code for an extra 15% off: RhodaBlog75

I'll deactivate it when I hit 100 listings (because we will have other fun things to celebrate)...so be sure and get your Sale on now!

And, have you checked out the free download here and on Kitty's blog? Tweeted or Liked on Facebook for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate? Running out of time. Tell your friends and get going. I am going to offer some giveaways as we hit key numbers. Let's get this party rocking!!

Happy Hot Sunday,

Choices, Choices

Who knew being a bum could be so hard. I can't decide if I want to color on my computer, or read a book.
Should be an easy call. But, I keep bouncing back and forth.

Book:

A Discovery of Witches. Have you read it yet? It's been sitting in my bag since the beginning of summer. This book has traveled all over with me. Idaho. Las Vegas. Camping. Visiting. Vacationing. And I still have only read the first page. Not because it isn't good, I'm sure. I just haven't had the impulse to read it. Someone give me a kick in the pants. Tell me why I should walk away from the computer and pick up the book.



Coloring. I have this cute sketch that I made a few weeks ago. It is begging to be colored. I just scanned it. I really want to color it, but I really need to get away from this silly computer for awhile.

Add your thoughts to my pros and cons. Let's see which way I can tip the scale :)

Summer is Sucky...

We were whisking through the grocery store today, and someone asked my son how his summer was.

"Summer is Sucky", he replied.

What??!!!

In the car, I asked him how he could possibly think summer was "sucky". Our list of adventures hasn't been huge, but it's a good size.

• Horseback Riding
• Swimming
• Time with the grandparents
• Hospice ice cream
• Fireworks
• Camping
• A long stay with my sister (lots more swimming)
• Carrousel rides in Missoula
• A hike to the water falls at the lake, and then swimming for the afternoon.
• Bike rides to the skate park.
• Playing with friends
  

I'm starting to get irritated. That list sounds really good. Better than I thought I was doing. He says "I just said that because I'm ready for school to start again".

Geez.

Then, why didn't you just say that instead?!

Shh. It's Quiet...

Finally. A day to just be creative.

The kids are off playing.

The hubby is in his shop.

And me? I'm working on fun things to add to my blog and shop. Surprises and treats before the end of the week.

Are you ready?

Plants, Zombies, and More Plants

It's been a crazy two weeks. I've only been home in my own bed for about 2 days out the past 14.

And even with all the crazy, I have been extra creative. Not sure what I will do now that I am heading home and all my ideas are completed.

Think up more ideas I guess :)

Here are my latest creations...



These plants were fun. Time consuming, but fun. There are 16 of them total (not even close to all of the seed packets in the almanac, but I was starting to dream Plants and Zombies. Time to move on to another project).



The Zombies make me laugh. My favorite is the Disco Zombie. Love the goldfish in his platform shoe!!

Let me know what you think.

And if you have any suggestions for new projects, I'm all ears :)

Frames, Frames, and More Frames

It's Tuesday. And I am traveling again. This time I'm in Southern Idaho picking up my kids. They spent the week with my sister.
I have a date with my niece at Barnes and Noble. So excited. Coffee and books!!

Because it's been so crazy, I haven't made any free templates. But I do have some frames. You get to take your pick:

Pearl Frames

Coral Frames

Sand Frames

Download one. Download three. Your choice. A great variety to mix and match on any of your projects :)

Happy Tuesday,
Rhoda
