Open the Explosion Box

Oh, a nice surprise (this bunny is a little big-used for photography purposes) I do have some smaller embellishments to load inside.  Thanks Pat from The Scrapbook Shoppe on Westshore in Tampa for the idea to put goodies inside the box.  Go visit The Scrapbook Shoppe in person or via Julies's  blog.  Julie and her crew are awesome.

Explosion box

My assistant's handywork

The first casualty of the day.  The Yorkie chewed the face off the Easter chick.  He might find an empty Easter basket on Easter morn.  My friends affectionately call him "The terd"!

Yellow card

A card to my brother to update him and his family on our Dad's condition.

In Her Easter Bonnet

Easter Card

Awoke this morning rested, with an enthusiasm for cardmaking.

Found this card last night in Stamper's Sampler take ten.  Love it.

Have a good day Tampa Bay.

New Technique

I spotted this at Whim so Doodle in St Pete while shopping for The treasure hunt on Sat.

I glued the paper with Pioneer embellishment glue stick to the pre-cut cardboard bird front and back.  Stamped "What's the word bird."  Glued flowers and paper covered clothes pin with above mentioned glue stick.  Used The Big Bite to punch a hole to place ribbon.  I inked the edges for a distressed  look.

Look Birthday Card

Happy Birthday Cindy!

I found this coloring book page on the internet.

Colored it with prisma colored pencils and tried out the Gamsol.

I used the Gamsol to blend.  

Working is good

Worked a twelve hour day today.  I am happy.  Tired, but happy.  It so hard to get cancelled from work.  It feels like the movie is going on without me.  Nursing is always interesting, maybe hard, busy, stressful, funny, I could go on and on.  Everyday a new adventure.  Today I recovered a patinet monitored them, medicated them, feed them, gave discharge instructions, took out the IV,  helped them get dressed.  Upon helping them into the car she turned to me and said, "Have you volunteered here long?"  It just struck me so funny.  

The treasure hunt started today without me.  But I will pick up the slack in the morning.  Cindy and I are off to Sarasota first thing in the morning.  K2 and Making Memories.  

I work tomorrow night for Hospice midnight shift.

Have a good day, Tampa Bay.
