Here's a sweet treat I made to celebrate this coming 4th of July week. This scrumptious cupcake is part of a fun set available over at <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com//default.asp">McMahon 5 Designs</a> today. Makes me wish for a real sugary cupcake to eat right now! :)</div>

We are going to have an exciting 4th of July this year. My hubby is in a really great band called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bartender-4-Mayor/107443322648687">"Bartender 4 Mayor"</a> and they will be the opening act for <a href="http://www.johnmichael.com/">John Michael Montgomery</a> at our city's annual <a href="http://www.cabq.gov/culturalservices/things-to-do/annual-events/freedom-fourth/freedom-fourth">Freedom 4th Celebration</a>. Its a huge event held each year with live music, food vendors and of course Fireworks at the Balloon Fiesta Park here in Albuquerque. Needless to say, we are completely beyond excited! If you're here in ABQ come on out and enjoy the fun with us. Happy 4th of July everyone! </div>

Better late than never right? I had this card all ready to share last week, but when I got ready to photograph it, my camera was completely dead AND the charging cord decided it didn't work anymore. So here I am this week instead. Its more fitting today because we have rain in our forecast for today and tomorrow. I'll be puddle jumping as I try to get my tomatoes planted. :)<br />

I've been spending a TON of time cleaning up our backyard. These past 2 years (almost) have been full of changes and adjusting to our new normal since my dear mother-in-law passed away. There isn't a day that goes by when she isn't in my thoughts. Our backyard has been the last thing on our minds. I really hope to make it beautiful once again. :) Have a wonderful weekend!</div>

Happy February everyone! Today I'm sharing a sweet image from <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com//default.asp">McMahon 5 Designs</a> called <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com//store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1000363">Wishes of Love</a>. Perfect for Valentines Day. I love to combine pinks and greens together. These happy colors make me anticipate the coming of Spring even more. And we only have about a month and a half until Spring arrives. Yay! I'm ready to chase these winter blues away. Come on sunny weather! :)</div>

We are experiencing some beautiful, sunny weather with temps in the mid to upper 50's all this week. And after suffering the most miserable cold/flu over Christmas, I have got SPRING FEVER big time right now! But its too soon here to really do much out in the garden yet except clean it up.... And I DID work out there for a while today. I have tons of work ahead of me in that department. I hope to get out there and take advantage of the pretty weather all this week. I also decided, while slicing up some bell peppers this afternoon, that I would save the seeds this time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE Bell Peppers. Yum!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saved them in separate jars and labeled them according to color. I've not had much luck here in NM growing bell peppers in the past. But I'm willing to give it another shot this year. Wish me luck! :)</div>

Look what is baking in my oven right now! These are<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/176907091584530908/"> Peanut Butter Banana Flax Seed Muffins</a>. I found the recipe on<a href="http://pinterest.com/daydreams505/"> Pinterest</a>. I had a few bananas that needed to be used today and this is where they went. Let me tell you, my house smells <i>HEAVENLY</i> right now. And if the taste of the batter is any indication... I'm gonna be making these a lot. I love baked goods, but I don't always love the way they make my clothes fit. <i>(I hate how that works).</i> But at least this treat is <i>LOADED</i> with healthy goodness! <br />
<br />
I usually only share paper~crafts here but, my interests are soooo varied that I want to be able to share them with you all as well. I love baking, sewing, gardening, jewelry making, repurposing old found objects, dabbling in crochet... The list goes on and on. So, starting today you can expect to see all sorts of things I'm getting into... along with my paper~crafts. I hope you'll enjoy my <i>Very Easily Distracted Attention Span</i> this coming year. Lol! :)<br />
<br />
Ok, the timer on my oven just beeped so I need to go check these muffins. </div>

Happy New Year!<br />
<br />
This is my first card of the year. :) Hopefully, I'll have many more creations to come. (More than I was able to fit in last year at least). I'm looking forward to a creative and productive year. <br />
Today there is a whole new series of images available over at <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com//default.asp">McMahon Five Designs</a> called <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com//store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1001891">Fruit of the Spirit</a>.

It's not often that these men of mine will sit still long enough to take a picture. And they for sure would never get dressed up for one! As you can see T-Shirts rule at our house. (But these T-Shirts are their "Formal" ones). Lol! This picture is soooo special to me because these men are the reason I get up each day. <br />

I LOVE this new sentiment!

I've decided to make this into a plaque for my wall. It's just over 8" x 8" in size. I'm going to mount it onto an art canvas (as soon as I can find a spare moment to get to the craft store) and then hang it in my kitchen. </div>

Hello! How is everyone these days? Is summer starting to wind down for you? It is here. Everyone is back to school and routines are settling in. I'm always resistant to going back to routines initially, but then about a week or two in, I'm pretty happy to be back at it. <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com//default.asp">McMahon 5 Designs</a> has a couple of new images available today, including a freebie. I'm sharing this beautiful <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com//store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1001841">Sunflower</a>. The fun thing about this one is that it is already colored and ready to go. But, you also have the choice of coloring it yourself if you prefer. Have a safe and fun Labor Day!</div>

LAST summer I went searching for a new desk chair and couldn't find one that I liked well enough to spend a chunk of money on. Then, LAST SUMMER I found this upholstery fabric for 2.97 per yard at Wal-Mart. I thought it might work for covering this ugly chair so because it was so cheap, I bought the whole dang bolt. I think I spent about 24 dollars. A year later, I finally buckled down and decided to see if I could do this. It was pretty easy and I can't believe I procrastinated for a whole year to do this. It done in two sections. The backrest is simply layered over, tucked and slip-stitched with heavy duty button thread along the sides and lower edge. And the seat is attached with a staple gun all along the under-side. For the money I spent, I'm pretty happy with it. And I still have plenty of fabric left to re-do my counter stools too. :)<br />

I recently inherited a plain white dresser that looks exactly like the one on the left in the above picture. It <i>was</i> destined for the dump. My father-in-law said take it or I'm hauling it away. I didn't need it at all, BUT... I saw an opportunity to try out one of the many project ideas I've seen on <a href="http://pinterest.com/daydreams505/">Pinterest</a>. And if it came out horrible, I could still send it to the dump. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-98oWjkNlKBo/UClX1gYTkdI/AAAAAAAADdE/_Ev3GsdbW7A/s1600/DSCN5947.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-98oWjkNlKBo/UClX1gYTkdI/AAAAAAAADdE/_Ev3GsdbW7A/s320/DSCN5947.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what I came up with. I used scrapbook papers and Modge Podged them into place like wall paper. Then I replaced the awful U-shaped drawer pulls with some new pulls I found at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. I wanted to dress it up just a little so I decided to use my Tim Holtz Fourishes die cuts to accent the drawer pulls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bfMbKt43VeU/UClX-Tx1e_I/AAAAAAAADdM/WbF6Q0WhxSE/s1600/DSCN5941.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bfMbKt43VeU/UClX-Tx1e_I/AAAAAAAADdM/WbF6Q0WhxSE/s320/DSCN5941.JPG" width="236" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't have enough of either of the papers I used, (even though I bought everything on the shelf), so I had to put the teal paper on the top of the dresser and also along the kick-board at the bottom. The sides are the same as the front. I'm not sure if I like it, but there it is. I'm trying to decide what to do about the white borders that still show. Should I leave them be or cover them too? What do you think? It's still just a cheap-o dresser, but it will work nicely to store craft items I think.</div>

Hello! How time flies. I just cannot believe that it is already August. For us, it means back to school. Literally. My youngest son goes back next Wed. Boo! Hoo! It's just too soon. I wish he could wait until after Labor Day, like when I was in school. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the happy thing about it being August is it's new release day at <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/default.asp">McMahon Five Designs</a>. And I'm so thrilled to share this stunning new image. Sue, knows I love "Sea-Themed Everything", but she didn't know that I also have a love of carousels. I was sooooo excited when she shared this masterpiece with the M5D team. I colored the image and then tried to keep it's softness by using relaxing, beachy colors in my papers. I thought the Memory Box die-cut also gave a hint of a carousel effect too. </div>Michelle's Daydreamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17236768528756953626noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880668858861849598.post-78059186089994564512012-07-31T14:32:00.003-06:002012-07-31T14:42:32.394-06:00I Know Better...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I KNOW BETTER than to walk by Lucky Paws Adoption Center in our shopping mall. Really. I do. But I walked by anyways. And I stopped. And I looked in the window. And this little guy came running over and literally yelled, "Pick Me! Pick Me!" How could I possibly deny him? (I'm such a sucker for cute 'lil fur-babies). He's now our new 2 month old "Bundle of Happy". He's a very busy boy. We've named him Sirius Grey. We couldn't name him Sirius Black because... well he's grey, not black. :)</div>

I just thought I'd pop in and share the results of a little play time I had over the weekend. These glass tile pendants are so fun and easy to make. I used some leftover scrap paper with pretty flowers and stamped a simple word onto them and thats it! I hope everyone is doing well this summer. We are having a HOT one here in our area. </div>Michelle's Daydreamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17236768528756953626noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880668858861849598.post-51735079276043138792012-06-01T08:55:00.000-06:002012-06-03T14:54:34.188-06:00Growing Old Friends<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello friends! It's been quite a while since I've been able to share with you here. This gorgeous new image is available today over at <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/">McMahon 5 Designs</a>. I LOVE the sentiment! The month of May has been a very busy month for our family. My second son, Nick, graduated from high school. Yay!!! We are SOOOOO proud of him! He's work so hard and placed 10th in his class. Anyone that struggles with dyslexia as he does, or any other learning difficulty, or have children that struggle in any way, knows how truly happy we are for him. He will start college this fall with our state's lottery scholarship studying Computer Information Systems focusing on Digital Media. His dream since he was in 3rd grade has been to become a "Disney Imagineer" and help create all of the "Magic" that is the World of Disney. He has such a creative soul and a couple of his biggest strengths are to never give up and the desire to make people happy. I don't see any reason for him not to succeed. We'll be taking a trip to Disney during the Christmas holidays as his special graduation gift because he's always wanted to see Disney during the holiday season. Hubby and I also celebrated our 26th anniversary last week. Wow! How did that happen? Anyways, I hope you're all getting off to a wonderful (restful) start to your summer. I have lots of "to do" things on my list for summer, but will do my best to share some of them here along the way too. </div>

Today I'm sharing this pretty new image from <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/">McMahon Five Designs</a>. I LOVE it! I'm really ready for the warm and bright happy colors of summer aren't you? Do any of you have big summer plans this year? We are planning a "Stay-cation" for this summer so I've been pretty busy trying to clean up our yard and planting some flowers. I want to have my own little getaway right here at home. I'm hoping to have some family BBQ's and maybe plant a vegetable garden too.</div>

Hello! Where has the time gone? It's been forever since I've been able to take time to share something here. There have been so many changes in our lives since last summer. I've taken on so many more responsibilities since my dearest mother-in-law went to Heaven. I miss her every single day. I know she is with me in my heart. Being able to carry on her daily work for her helps me to feel close to her even more. Its like she is sitting right beside me. I love that. </div>

I have a simple CAS card to share with you today. I think this vintage image seems so tranquil. I wonder what she is thinking? She looks like she is dreaming of the day when she will be able to attend a festive party like the people inside. :)</div>Michelle's Daydreamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17236768528756953626noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880668858861849598.post-18680795569608529062012-02-02T07:40:00.001-07:002012-02-02T09:02:04.966-07:00Roots<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have a simply beautiful image to share with you all today. It's a brand new release over at <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/default.asp">McMahon Five Designs </a>called <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1001609">"Roots"</a>. I have to admit, I was completely taken with this image when I first saw it. I'm a "Plant Lady" by day, so this pretty image seemed to fit me in every way. I take care of all the lovely greenery you see in commercial businesses all over town. Its a job I thought I'd do only while my sons were small because of the flexibility. But here I am almost 16 years later, and I still love caring for plants. Something about putting my hands in soil everyday is very uplifting for me. I've used the <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1000824">Spellbinders Foliage</a> and <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1001006">Spellbinders Labels 21</a>, along with touches of <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/store_results.asp?Brand=10&Section=Search+Results+for+Ranger+Ink">Stickles Glitter</a> for this week's card. Have a wonderful week everyone. :)</div>Michelle's Daydreamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17236768528756953626noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880668858861849598.post-84371324748276144622012-01-19T07:00:00.000-07:002012-01-19T11:24:23.892-07:00Peony Love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well, here we are with another new release from McMahon Five Designs. This one is called <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1001590">Peony Love</a>. I decided to play with cheerful, bright colors this week. I'm so eager for the cold dreariness of winter to be over... So if I can't have Springtime in my yard quite yet, I'll have it in my craft room. The dp is <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1001570">lilybeedesign</a>. I pulled out several of my heart themed paper punches and die-cuts for this card and look at these pretty little <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1000513">mini ZVA pearl swirlies</a>! I love them. Have a fun week everyone.

Hello, and Happy New Year my friends! Today I'm sharing a new image from McMahon Five Designs called <a href="http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/store/item_view.asp?estore_itemid=1001582">Thinking of You</a>. I colored this CAS card with my Prisma Pencils and then the snowy area is filled in with MS clear micro-beads I found on special at one of our local closeout stores. </div>

As with most people at this time of year, I'm working on some New Year Resolutions. I've got quite a list going that mostly have to do with fixing up the "old homestead". It's been 11 years since we moved into our current home and its starting to show some wear and tear. I'm in the process of painting my front door a lovely teal color (my favorite color). So far, it looks really good, but I still need to finish the trim. As soon as it warms up above 50 degrees for a day or so again I will be tackling that. I'll share before and after pics when its finished. And I've also decided to start running again. I went on my first run a couple days ago.... and boy I can tell I'm not high school cross-country material anymore!!! But, hey... I'm trying and that's what really counts right? Have a wonderful day everyone. :)</div>Michelle's Daydreamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17236768528756953626noreply@blogger.com1
