Springtime means....

lots and lots of yard work! While I love it, I really think my yard grew over the winter. It really seems soooo much bigger! It takes a lot to get it in shape from the winter months. Crape Myrtle trees to cut back, (we have 10 of them), shrubs to be shaped, (let me tell you, no one would pay me for this skill I'm lacking in!), weeds to be pulled, soil to turn, moneky grass to fight... you get the idea. Buuuuut, since spring came early, I've flowers blooming already, butterflies everywhere, some serious pretty going on in the backyard! Plus, it looks as if Jessica has been bitten by the flowers in the yard bug. She spent the better part of yesterday building a flower bed in her front yard. After 234 text messages and 187 phone calls, she has one finished... and it looks really good! Even with all the yard work, I've still found time to clean house, do laundry, go to work, and scrap! Sheesh, no wonder I'm tired! Here is my May entry for my Project 12. A sketch from Pagemaps was used.

My first real try at stamping with markers. It's so neat, even if I do sound a little strange blowing on the stamp!

A little paint can make naked chipboard pop.

Thanks for taking time to stop by. Have yourself a wonderful day!
