Butterflies In Flight




 I was scrolling through YouTube 

the other day and found this 

intriguing pop-up card.




I hope I did justice to this design.





It's quite complicated, for me anyway. 

But I watched the video, stopped it 




and rewound it many times 




while going through the steps.




The artist name is Sarah Trebilcock

and I'm putting the link here 

to her video on YouTube.

Just in case any of you want to try 

making it.

Have fun!!!

And God bless you all. 

You're blogging sister,

Some Days



  

Some days you've got to do

things you don't want to do,

like take a bath!



Hang out the wash.



Pull weeds and harvest.



But when the work is done,

it feels so good,



and you can kick back and relax.




That's when you have time to 
enjoy your surrounding
and the fruit of your labor.











Even take a nap 🐢😁🐢



Then there are days when 

you have to face the fact 

that your Kayaking days are over.



And sell it 😒




My 80th birthday is 

right around the corner.

I know that I could get in it,

paddle around for an hour or two,

but on the return . . .

I might have a terrible time

getting out of it.


Let's face it, there are days

when getting out of my 

easy chair is hard, LOL.

Thank you all for stopping by

have a wonderful week.

God bless you

Flowers, Scarecrow and Yard Sale Finds

 


Hello Dear Friends

&

Welcome to my garden :)





Some of the morning glories 

are starting to bloom. 




As well as other flowers

and the blackberries 😁





🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸





This year I made 

a new scarecrow. 

Starting with a chair,

a wig head form,

and a pool-doodle. 




 

Last week there was a

 neighborhood yard sale

just a 1/2 mile from where

I live and I found two

outstanding finds.




First this pretty wooden

wall plaque.

I added it to my headboard.

  



$1




Then this used once and didn't

like rice cooker with a steamer

basket. 

I love it!!!




$2.50

Well, that's my post for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I wish there was a way 

to have a glass of lemonade

and a dish of cookies

to share when you visited.

God bless you all!
