T Stands for Time

 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

 Hello everyone!  It is time for us to all gather over at Elizabeth's for tea, or whatever beverage you are having.  I have missed several tea parties because I just want to do so much!  I could have missed today, too because I am preparing my lesson for the Bible study I lead on Tuesday mornings.  And I got a late start on everything today.  I usually start the day with an early morning walk, but today it was sprinkling, and kind of dark and I thought it might really rain!  As it turned out, it fizzled out and the sun came out.  By then, it was 10:30, so I walked late, and it was warmer of course.  Then I was tired, and it was lunch time! LOL   On one of my walks last week, I met this fellow.

And these guys: Sammy and Ranger, labs.

and these ducks before I even got on the trail

When I left our house, I took a photo of our flag which we put out Saturday, Sunday and Monday to remember our fallen, because in the U.S. we are celebrating Memorial Day.

And our new plants:

This trail is uphill!

And a peek thorough into the woods:

Today I saw this guy crossing the trail, about a foot in diameter.  I am afraid to get too close to get a better photo, because I have been told these are snapping turtles.

I have been scrapping and was looking for photos that I hadn't scrapped and found my ticket to the party for today. Here is one from the last cruise we took in February of 2019. Join us for TSFT over at Bleubeard & Elizabeths at Altered Book Lover.

I can't leave without posting something crafty.  Here is a card I made that is mix media.  I used Tim Holtz distress glazes, distress oxides, and Distress crayons, and Tim Holtz Checkerboard embossing folder.  The inchie images are from stamps I bought locally years and years ago at Mrs. O'Leary's Artful Ilussions.  She makes her own stamps, and you could purchase just the red rubber very cheap.  I don't think she makes stamps anymore, but I could be wrong.  Anyway, I played with my accumulated stuff.  I heard a quote lately.   " I don't buy too much craft stuff; I just shop faster than I craft. LOL Something like that.  Here is my card.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope to stop by and see you, soon.  Happy T Day to the T Gang.  See you next time.  (Notice, I quit saying next week! LOL Sometimes, I just don't make it every week.)

T Stands for Quick Post

Hello readers!  I have been busy over the weekend creating for NSD (National Scrapbook Day May 5th).  I did several layouts plus some cards, all part of the challenges on SplitcoastStampers and A Cherry On Top craft sites.  

I made this card using a technique shared with us on SplitcoastStampers.  It is called Embossing with Watercolor.  

I used oxide inks and put the ink on my glass mat, sprayed with water, then with brush put dabs of it on my watercolor paper.  I let it dry.  Then I sprayed with pearl ex gold.  Let it dry again.  Then inked up my TH Paris embossing folder with London Fog gray ink.  I put my watercolor paper in the embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot.  Then I cut it down for my card.  I took photos of the process, but can't find them! LOL  I will share them when I find them.

Here is my ticket to Bleubeard & Elizabeths TSFT over at Altered Book Lover.  We went out to eat last week to Longhorns.  We love the luncheon special Grilled Chicken & Strawberry Salad with side.  Hubby got the seafood soup and I got the loaded sweet potato!   Delicious!  I brought home salad; of course I filled up on the bread and butter.  Great bread!

I have been walking early in the morning as it has been in the high 90s the last few days.  So, home by nine!  Still, I don't have enough hours in the day!  Thank you for stopping by.  I love hearing from you.

See you next time.
