For the longest time, I have not been able to sign on and post. Just now, quite by accident, I was able to sign on and post this note. I hate to think I will have to start another blog. The problem started when I changed my last name on Google. Bummer!<br />
<br />
Hope to post something new soon. This is a very busy time of the year for so many people. See you soon.<br />

I appreciate all the comments left the last several weeks on my different blog postings. We just returned home from a long cruise with limited internet access. ( My phone was never turned on...withdrawals here but I did it...haha) I didn't want to post I was leaving for a long cruise.<br />
<br />
We left on Oct. 4 and returned home Nov. 16...exhausted but having an awesome time. We flew to Rome, toured and caught Koningsdam Holland American Cruise Liner. We did many ports-a-call in Italy, Greece, Croatia, Crete, Malta, Turkey, Montenegro, Sicily, Spain and Portugal. We then did a transatlantic cruise back to Ft. Lauderdale, rented a car and drove home. I saved for a long time for these cruises. Weather was great. I won't bore you with 1000's of pics. Here are just a few.<br />
<br />
As of this evening and tomorrow, I will catching up on many blogs I follow. Again, thank you for all the comments left regarding my cards. I worked very hard to create and pre-post before we left for the cruise.<br />

I made this card for her. My son is back in medical school a 100 miles away. He tries to get home as much as he can. In the meantime, she is the head Nurse Anesthetist for a hospital in Greenville, SC and having a 6 year old, 3.5 year old, and a new puppy to manage pretty much by herself, I find is a tall order and "balancing act".<br />

I made this small notebook/handbook to place in my little condo for family, friends and that rare ocassional renter. Inside are pages that show: rules governed by the HOA, phone numbers for us and emergency numbers and addresses, passwords, codes, favorite restaurants, things to do within a 10 - 30 minute drive, check-in and check-out procedures and coupons.</div>

The camera shots aren't that great. There was a tropical storm going on and I was doing my best to take the photos outside....LOL<br />

For some reason, this little House Mouse called <a href="https://stampendous.com/shop/whats-new/monster-mouse-rubber-stamp/"><span style="color: red;">Monster Mouse</span></a> image always makes me smile and laugh. (I don't think they sell this one any more. Mine is a clear cling stamp.) OK, I know the reason...my brother would do stupid/silly things like this to me growing up. I also remember him throwing a pair of scissors at me. They missed my back because I slipped and fell. They continued flying over my head and hit the refrigerator leaving a dent in it, and just missing my mom as she was walking into the kitchen. Boy, he got his fanny spanked big time. (Ps...Yup, same brother that does the monkey faces at age 70. In all fairness, I had been antagonizing him.)</div>

Living right on the ocean, I get the most beautiful sunrises and even sunsets on the other side of our condo. I'll post a few photos below. I see lots of cruise ships, tankers, cargo ships and sailboats too. (We won't talk about the hurricanes.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ocean is a little rough right now due to another tropical storm going by. We have a FULL MOON right now and the moon reflecting and shining on the water is breath taking which is how I got the inspiration for this card.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was a very quick, clean steel die I used to made 4 cards. This was another very inexpensive die called <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32989053427.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3ca14c4dt1G9JQ"><span style="color: red;">Sailboat Frame</span></a> from Aliexpress. I used a circle punch for the moon and made the <u>moon reflection </u>on the water with my Silhouette. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, my card. I made 4, leaving 2 without a sentiment until needed. Next, a sunrise from 3 days ago starting at 6 am. I got 3 different pics all within 35 minutes. Lastly, a sunset I got last week from the other side of condo/home.</div>

When Stella and Gus from <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Bugaboo Stamps</span></a> first caught my eye, I knew I was going to be making cards with them. I wound up being on the Bugaboo Team for several years. I'm excited to be back creating with many of the characters that Jodie created.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I usually have a story to go with my cards. ( What inspired the card.) Here it is: My grandfather was a doctor in a so-called "one horse town" in the South. As small as it was, there were plenty of people to fill the cells of the jail. Being concerned about these people, my grandfather (whom we called Daddy Doc) would visit the jail and offer free health care. What I don't understand, every year the present and former "jailors" along with the officers of the law and Daddy Doc would take a huge group picture behind the jail!!! WHAT!! Go figure. I hope I can find that pic and I will post one day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The<span style="color: red;"> <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/products/stella-identity-theft?_pos=1&_sid=a1f3a827e&_ss=r"><span style="color: red;">Stella Identity Theft</span></a> </span>image was used, along with the sentiment from <a href="http://gingershouse.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Ginger's House</span></a>. I cased <a href="http://stamp-n-play.blogspot.com/2019/09/bugaboo-stella-identity-theft.html"><span style="color: red;">Stamp-in-Play</span></a>. I added some keys and hooks from some old punches. I colored with copics.<br />
<br />
I'm entering the <u><span style="color: red;">Catch the Bug Challenge</span></u>: ANYTHING GOES ( If I can't get to a computer to link my image, at least, I can give a "shout out" to Bugaboo Stamps and the fab team that help bring these awesome characters alive.)</div>

This little die has a lot of meaning to me. I met my husband in 1969 at Pawleys Island, SC. He had driven by our beach house in a baby blue VW Beetle. It was an awesome summer before I headed off to college. OK....I'm telling my age now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found this VW Beetle die at <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/">Aliexpress</a> called <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32917719689.html?gps-id=detail404&scm=1007.16891.96945.0&scm_id=1007.16891.96945.0&scm-url=1007.16891.96945.0&pvid=6d520454-0e4b-4c21-80e0-808ba7fd0d91">Highway Road Car</a>. The center VW Beetle represents Clemson University. Go Tigers! The yellow represent my happy color.</div>

All little boys I've been around enjoy acting like little monkeys. My brother is now 70 and I can remember as if it was just yesterday that he was acting like a monkey. When I remind him of the 'good ole days', he'll give me a monkey face and sound. He still makes me laugh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyhow, <a href="http://cutitupchallenges.blogspot.com/2019/09/challenge-183-into-woods.html"><span style="color: red;">Cut It Up Challenge #183</span></a> with the theme <b>wood(s)</b> brought back old memories which inspired me to build this card, but it will go to my grandson....not my brother.LOL (However, I have sent him plenty of monkey cards..haha) Now you know my secret, unless it is a seasonal card, past memories inspire my cards 90% of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every bit of this card was made using die cuts. I bought the monkey set from Aliexpress, but when I went to get a link for my blog, the page was gone.<br />

.... It's <a href="http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/2019/09/hmfmc-300-anything-goes-with-option-of.html"><span style="color: red;">Challenge #300 at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge</span></a> with an optional theme "Christmas". This little House Mouse came off my CD. I can't find it anywhere on the web to give a link. These days, computers don't come with a CD reader so I'm transferring them on to a thumb drive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cyberfriends, if you have ever followed my blog before, you can tell by my cards lately that I'm very predictable. I will try to improve, but it will take time. I'm still getting my feet wet again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use copics for mouse and ink. "Merry Christmas" was computer generated on Silhouette Cameo and I added the ink drops. Stockings were die cuts from <a href="https://wholesalecraftingsupplies.com/products/big-stockings-die-set-gina-marie-designs?_pos=2&_sid=a91d50524&_ss=r">Gina Marie Designs</a>. </div>

I had lived in Greenville, SC all my life except during my years in college in Charleston, SC. I've been a passionate beach, water, ocean lover all my life. I now have the opportunity to do just that!!! I now live in Cocoa Beach, Florida.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are pics I took just the other morning. I awake many a very early morning. I grab a cup of coffee and head to the balcony. I get quite the morning show any given morning. This particular morning, I grabbed my old IPhone 7 and took these pics from 6:00 am - 6:35 am....that is how quick the morning sunrise changes..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last pic is on the other side of the building where I am able to grab a a pic of the sunset. We have the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Banana River on the other. (We won't discuss hurricanes.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also just finished a renovation on a little condo across the park from us. It's also on the beach but not as high up. I'll share the renov pics in a few days.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But cyber friends, this is why I love the beach!!! God's beauty!</div>

Just FYI: Just found out I was the winner at <a href="https://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/2019/09/hmfmc-300-anything-goes-with-option-of.html"><span style="color: red;">House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #299</span></a>. I'm a happy girl, lady, female, person!<br />
<br />
Traveling and cruising on ships is a very <u>happy time</u> for me. I'm traveling as much as possible; you don't know tomorrow's forecast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made this card for my grandson Wyatt; who, like most little boys, are infatuated with trucks and cars and any thing with wheels...LOL He loves the family zoo outings. We have the Blue Ridge Mountains close, so I thought I would throw in a few for the card.</div>

...well maybe not in Cocoa Beach but we try our best to wear "T-shirts" with Fall colors. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have said it more than once....my stamping addiction began when I was in Hobby Lobby back in 2005 and I came across the Stamp/Card making Department. I didn't know one even existed!!! My eyes honed in to the cutest <span style="color: #0b5394;">HOUSE MOUSE</span> stamp. That was it....I was hooked!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have created with this image several times in the past. To change things up a little bit, I used a CIRCLE instead of a square box to accent one of the mice. I forgot what this technique is called. I also did a print and cut on the mouse sailing to the ground using glitter marker and pop-ups for dimension. Lastly, those lovely stitched leaf dies by <span style="color: red;">Lawn Fawn</span>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The blog started years ago for ME. I was inspired by the movie "Julia and Julie". I would post a new SVG each week and offer it free to anyone that requested it. At the end of the year, I had posted wellover 100 free svgs, so I definitely met my goal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took a long break and I'm back. I need to set a new goal even though I'm starting in September. My goal....to make a card for each of my two grandchildren each week and to make 2 cards to send to a friend or family member....that makes a total of 4 cards a week...a pretty tall order. They won't be near as detailed and intricate as I have made in the past, but will be made with humor and love.</div>

My awesome blue-eyed, red-headed granddaughter is having a birthday soon. I want to lavish her with several cards leading up to her birthday. I won't be there for the celebration.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought this donkey svg some years back from <a href="http://svgcuttingfiles.com/catalog.php?item=2171"><span style="color: red;">SVG Cutting Files</span></a>. This time around I'm making 4 cards to have on hand for upcoming birthdays. I just don't know why this donkey always makes me smile. The little flower is a die cut also from years past. ( I may add google eyes for fun.) I used a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spellbinders-S5-180-Curved-Borders-Creator/dp/B00AYTRFV4/ref=asc_df_B00AYTRFV4/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid={creative}&hvpos={adposition}&hvnetw=o&hvrand={random}&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl={devicemodel}&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584413735400100&psc=1"><span style="color: red;">Spellbinder A2 Curved Borders One</span></a> die cut.

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sunny beach weather is back after Hurricane Dorian. Did anyone notice that the hurricane was never referred to as "he" or "she". Hummm...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyhow, I'm slowly returning to card making. So many of yal out there have way surpassed me on the new and improved techniques, machines and gadgets. WOW! My goal is just to be able to make cards to send to family and friends. OK...a challenge now and then would be fun.</span></div>

We have been team members on several blogs, but she continued when I stopped. She has continued to be my inspiration until I could open my boxes and find for my inspiration.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I bought this simple little beach die from <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33023117800.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5833450297Myqt&algo_pvid=3b333d37-4365-410a-a7c2-cb29ffc1dcc9&algo_expid=3b333d37-4365-410a-a7c2-cb29ffc1dcc9-4&btsid=8ac1e527-1ba8-48f6-9a1e-cd99f7d8ac54&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5,searchweb201603_52"><span style="color: blue;">Aliexpress</span></a>.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm now living in Cocoa Beach, Florida. We had a visit from Hurricane Dorian. We were lucky this time and came out with minimal damage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've missed creating cards and trying to get my feet wet by creating some simple, fun beach cards. I wasn't able to bring all my supplies in my move, but that just makes it a fun new challenge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These dies were bought on Aliexpress.com through different companies. I stitched the edges, and created my own sentiments using my dear Silhouette Cameo. I was so excited to brush the dust off and seeing it still turned on.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Used some ranger inks on background paper and adding splashes of water drops. (Thank you Lola for the inspiration.) Added shaker eyeballs on crab and used Copics to color. The little cocina shell was found right before the storm several days ago.</td></tr>
