Unrelated Catch Up! (Pt. 3)

Mish Mosh today. ::AKA "The Story of My Life".::







Today I am sharing some samples I've put together at my second up-line, Jerilyn Wood's team meetings.  Mind you, I only assembled them.  They were her creations.

Don't you love this little card? It's a money holder style card.  How often have you given or gotten money in a card over the years?  Pretty often, I am guessing.  Isn't this a lovely alternative to the money card that you see the president's face through?!  I mean....save the money....just give me the card!  ::OK-busted.  Depending on how much money I might be missing out on!  :)  I mean, it might be enough to buy some stamps, cardstock or some bling with, and I wouldn't want to miss out on that!::  ;) 

Fabulous Florets stamp set; Whisper White, Basic Black, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Rose Red cardstocks; Basic Black Classic ink; Basic Black 5/8" Satin ribbon.

Just look how simple this card is to create but what a statement it makes as well!

Jerilyn is so generous with all of her downline, and it is very much appreciated!  Not only do I get exposed to products that my humble little hobby wouldn't often if ever afford, but she regularly gives us all gifts of product as well.  Then we get to take them out for a test drive!  ::Thanks Jerilyn!::

Flirtatious Specialty DSP; Pretty in Pink, Wisteria Wonder,Whisper White, and Pumpkin Pie cardstocks; Pumpkin Pie, Wisteria Wonder, and Melon Mambo Classic inks; Delicate Doilies and Curly Cute stamp sets; Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch; White Baker's Twine; Basic Rhinestones.

I hope you enjoyed these samples today!  I still have a few more days of catch-up, so bear with me.  Keep in mind these are all ideas you can use for yourselves, if not with the same sets we used if they have expired, but that the layouts are always relevant.

There is supposed to be a big warm-up today, hubby told me last night.  Generally I'm in favor of that in January, but it always seems that the calves go through health challenges when the weather can't decide what season it wants to be, much like people do.  So, the thought really doesn't thrill me that much.

Then there's the challenge of crossing the driveway with two five-gallon pails of milk for the calves, when it is solid ice with water over the top.  Gotta love that.  It's difficult for anything to stay upright in that situation, much less doing the Bambi "dance" with full pails!  ::I know.  Now you've got to get that picture out of your mind.::  As I told Vicki last night, I never thought I'd be concerned about "breaking a hip" at my age!  ;)

Late last week when we had the same water-on-ice situation out there, I had to set my pails down, stay bent over, and do a "step-step, pail-pail; step-step, pail-pail" maneuver across to the other side.  I had two thoughts: 1) If anyone sees me they're going to think I'm 90 years old, and 2) If any machinery comes along, they are going to wait for me to cross, and I don't care how long it takes!  Of course, all the while I was hoping no one would see me at all!

Vicki said I should have sat on the pail, and scooted to the other side.  A bottom wet with milk replacer didn't seem like an attractive option either, however.

Ah, such is the glamorous life of farm wife.  ;)
