The real Hunger Games



This is so my life these days with a boy who is never full!

Hay There!



"Hay There!!"

When my mother was 9 months along in her pregnancy, she went berry picking in a large strawberry patch.  Being so close to her due date, her friends razzed her and suggested that if I were a girl, I should be named "Strawberry Patch Hatch."  Well, I  was a girl--only I came in her 10th month!   What a "Sweet Pea" I turned out to be! haha.  My parents simply "Showered with Love" all the attention in the world on me.  (Okay, so as I teen, I probably didn't feel that way...but now, my mom and I are "Best Buds.")   I have always loved that  Strawberry Picking story...and strawberries!  (Probably b/c of that story.)  So...I was really happy to get this cutting file to make an adorable Strawberry Trio Basket from The Cutting Cafe! It is an "utterly adorable" gift basket!




Make all your sunmer project "berry special" by adding a sentiment from Pink by Design!  I know you will have "Loads of Fun" with these stamps.  This phrase comes from "Country Living."   There are many knee slapping punnies in that set! (In fact, if you haven't figured it out by now, the quoted phrases are just some of what you will get in the Country Living set!)

And...by the way, this project is also for the Party Time Tuesdays Challenge: Anything Goes. I used a digi from Crafty Sentiments, one of this week's sponsors.

OWH Blog Hop

Happy Memorial Day, Crafters!  Coming from a patriotic family, I love parades and flags and celebrations!  Thinking about it, this blog hop is a parade of crafters!




Spy and sentiment from Hambo Stamps!

Here is the sketch I chose for this blog hop!

Well, the parade marshalls have asked us to keep this a short post...
so move on to the next spot on today's parade route!

Turning over a new leaf...

My new mantra, which is not my personality..."It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks."  Repeat it with me...I am going to need a lot of practice!  :)

Now, I'm back to cleaning the fridge and pantry and floor.  Ugh.
