I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon with a few lovely ladies that I used to work with at the Seattle Times.
(l-r: Krista, me, Lori, Jill)

This is an incredible group of friends- they are beautiful, classy, smart, humorous, and totally FUN to be with! Thanks ladies, for your company and spending a superb afternoon on the waterfront doing what I'm best known for - EATING OUT! :)

A card in 20 minutes

There's a challenge for blog candy on Glenda's blog, Glenda's Papers, Scissory & Rocks: Make a card in 20 minutes or less and this was a fun card to do! See the challenge here:

The hardest part was punching eggs through the textured cardstock (and the bird too).... They came from the Impress store in Seattle/Tukwila. Their sale starts today by the way....20% off everything! I believe it lasts through Sunday. Enabler, I know....

Good luck! :)

Autumn Leaves brand clear stamp set for sale

This set is from Autumn Leaves. It's sort of a large stamp set but the images range from big to small so it's a great variety and they stamp beautifully. The set for sale is new/unused/unopened. I am not sure how I bought a duplicate set, but the new one is for sale.

$15 includes shipping. I will send it in an envelope. If you'd like insurance please add $1 more.

Email me if interested - eyp963@msn.com

Thanks much!

More PTI stuff

This is for the sketch from PTI. The colors got sort of 'glare-ful'....it's actually Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze, and So Saffron...with a big flash to throw the colors off!
I wanted to get this up before the PT drawing, so I had to use this pic. My house is on the dark side and I am a terrible photographer on top of that!
The larger flowers are popped up on dimensionals, and the saying looks crooked but it is straight on the card.
Have a great evening and if you are looking at PTI, good luck with the button guessing!

Paper Trey Bagabox

Here's my project for the PTI bag entry! I hope it's not too late....

Holiday Card Share 12.07.08

Just a quick card or two....they're not photographed that well because I took the pics at night. You know how it is in Seattle where skies are grey during the DAYTIME. I did my best.

Erin's in the fountain again...

All the grandkids have always loved playing in the fountain outside the kitchen window at my MIL's place....When we were there in September as my MIL passed on, the youngest kids all held up the tradition - and ended up in the fountain. (One of the kids used to carry buckets of water from the beach over to the fountain and it reminded us of the Sorcerer's Apprentice - soooo cute!) That was 16 years ago though...

For now I thought these pics would be fun to share:

I wish it were warmer here in Seattle but we've got stormy weather today. :(
