T Stands for Time for Scrapping!

 ³ The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; ⁴ That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Hello everyone!  Yes, I scrapped this afternoon.  I make a goal for myself every month and it was five this month.  I still had 2 more pages to do!  So, I accomplished it.  I scrapped about the Junk Journal Retreat I attended last May.  You might remember me sharing a photo of all the goodies for junk journaling that I got at the retreat.  Today when I decided to scrap these photos, I decided to do it in the junk journaling manor with book page collage strip, doily, and pockets.  I will share these pages with you today, also I think there is my TSFT ticket in a couple of the photos! 

The embellishments on the pockets were handmade gifts from the hostess.  In the pockets I put journaling and all their names and contact information.  Also sticking out of the pockets are items made in a blindfolded challenge.  Our hostess was wonderful and fixed all meals while we were there.  Yum yum to what she made, too.  

Happy T Day to the T Gang.  You can check out the T Stands for Tuesday party hosted by Bleubeard & Elizabeth over at Altered Book Lover.  We have so fun every Monday evening/Tuesday checking out each other's blogs.  You are invited also.  

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a great week!

T Stands for Tuesday

 ³ The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; ⁴ That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Hello blog readers!  Happy Tuesday!  I am finally getting back to walking even though it is still getting into the nineties.  I walked 8:30 to 10:00 this morning, and it was warm by the time I got home!  But it does feel good to get back to walking.  I am looking forward to cooler weather, as many of you are.

I can't get my photos from today to upload from my phone so I will share some others.  We did go out to eat this past week, and I did remember to get a photo.  We went to one of our favorite places.  They are senior friendly as they give a 20% senior discount and free pie on Tuesdays, so these are from last Tuesday.  Livingstons Diner has been in business since 1910 and have two locations and we go to the newer location.  I always enjoy their murals painted on the walls.  I have shown them before, so took a different photo this time, plus a view of my favorite right over our booth.

Love this one because it shows an old version of our comics back in the day.

Kind of a funny view as it was right over our heads at our booth, but it is my favorite.

My ticket to the TSFT party.  I got to take half of my Chicken Quesadilla home for another meal.  So good.  I love avocado but left the sour cream.  Hubby had biscuits and gravy.  We also took home our pie.  He got chocolate, and I gave him my peanut butter chocolate cream pie after I took a bite. :)

Be sure and check out TSFT over at Bleubeard & Elizabeth's at Altered Book Lover.

 We find many different kinds of replicas of the Keeper of the Plains in our area.

I got my hair cut in July, and these are photos of how my hair stylist decorates her shop on the outside.

I love seeing how she changes everything for the different holidays or seasons.  She decorated very patriotically for July.

  Here are photos from a surprise park I found on the way home from our ladies' prayer breakfast Saturday at our church.  I had followed a garage sale sign, because it has been ages since I went to one, however I never found it.  But I found this neat little park complete with this pond, bicycle sculpture, and blue heron!  

I actually caught him in flight.  I was trying to get a closer photo of him standing, and of course I startled him into flight.

 

I have also crafted a bit this week.  On SplitcoastStampers we do a Teapot Challenge every Tuesday, and we make cards and send to someone who needs encouragement.  This week the challenge was also to use splatters or spritzing, or distressing.  I chose to splatter.  This card has already been mailed to our recipient.  

I used Altenew layering Daisy stamps, and a very old SU! sentiment stamp.  I splattered with a squeezy art gun thing with the SU! markers that matched the ink I used. (Old Olive, Yoyo Yellow and Tangelo Twist.  I also splattered Fun Stampers Journey Silks on here and then lastly added the Nuvo drops to the centers of the daisies.

Happy T Day, everyone!  Thanks for stopping by to see what I am doing.  I hope to go by and see what you have been doing, also.  I might say that sometimes my comments do not take.  I go back and check, but still don't see them, so leave another.  I hope they are getting through, maybe just because of moderation they take longer. 

Thank you.

T Stands for Reveals

3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; ⁴ That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Titus 2:3-5 KJV  (these are verses I am currently memorizing or should say re-memorzing, as I already had in the past.)

 Good evening readers!  I just read Elizabeth's post and she revealed the napkins she is sending, so I will reveal the ones I am sending.  For those that don’t know about our TSFT parties, this is our ninth year and some of us celebrated by doing a napkin and an ATC swap.

Everyone in the swap will receive two each of these. 

I guess, that last week when I didn't post they revealed our ATCs we swapped.

This is the one I swapped.

My first ticket to TSFT

And the one I received from Deb.  Thank you, Deb!  Love this adorable little mouse.

Love those cute bugs! And that mug with the adorable mouse on the ATC is another ticket to TSFT.

  And she used an interesting postage stamp, too.

I received this Happy Mail as winnings for all the cards I made for VSN on Splitcoaststampers.  A Starbucks gift card (another ticket to TSFT!) Oh, and there was chocolate, but I ate all of it before the photograph!  Kinders minis, about a half dozen of them.  I inhaled them. 

Blogger is not cooperating tonight and won't let me put the photos in the order I want them.

Blogger is jumping all around and I can't even type in the right places.  Ugh!  Above is what I used to make my ATCs.  But, not in the photo are the charms and the letters I used.

I made three.

Short and sweet.  Happy T Day to the T Gang.  Stop over at Altered Book Lover and visit our hosts, Bleubeard & Elizabeth and the other t party participants.

Have a great week!

When we were Young AJJ page

 "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." Psalms 27:14

 I liked this theme and wanted to shar a page I did today.  It will be part of a gift heritage album for my sister.  I don't even think she knows I have a blog so I don't have to worry about her seeing it prematurely. 

Chris from Pearshapedcrafting is hosting at Art Journal Journey this month and her theme is When We Were Young. I will share this page with a photo that is almost 100 years old.

whole page

love this TH quote and think it is appropriate for this moment that was ordinary in the photo, but now all these years later quite extraordinary.

This is for the Art Journey Journal theme as well as for two challenges on SplitcoastStampers for the MJJ Challenge and the Inspiration Challenges.

Thanks for looking and stopping by.  Be sure and check out the other pages over at Art Journey Journal.  Thank you, Chris for this theme.

T Stands for Surprise!

 "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." Psalms 27:14

Surprise, I am posting! LOL. Good evening!  It is time for our TSFT party!  I totally missed last week as I had food poisoning and was sick from midnight to 4:00 am Monday morning.  Both my hubby and I were very tired from me being sick all night and not getting any sleep!  The decision was made to skip my blog and just take it easy.  I don't know where I got it or what I ate as no one else had it.  But I know that is what it was because I had it about 30 years ago, same, sick at both ends at the same time!  Sorry, if that was TMI!

Well, all is well now! I have just finished a week of DTGD Challenges!  I always love that time of year as I always am able to get really good cards done.  They are usually my favorites.  Some of them have already been mailed.  Others will be for Christmas, and for occasions as I need them.

Here is a photo of some of them.

Like I said some have been mailed out and I didn't get them in the photo.  Every card is different.  I made a shaker card, tags, sympathy, anniversary, birthday & Christmas cards.  Some were special folds, and some were special techniques.  This is the time of year that I try new things as our hostesses challenge us to do these techniques and folds.  The rest of the year, my recipients' benefit. 

I believe if you look hard enough, you will see my ticket to Bleubeard & Elizabeth's Tea Stands for Tuesday party over at Altered Book Lover.  Happy T Day!  Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great week!
