What farm is fresh?

I've always thought it odd that this stamp set was called Farm Fresh! I've never yet got a whiff of any fresh smelling farm!!! hehehe
---
Oh well! It still is a set I really love! I'm still working on using up pre-stamped backgrounds and coloring pre-stamped images. Slowly, but surely I am working through my stash. Good thing I've had a stash too. I've just plain not been feeling to creative lately. Too tired, too tired of seeing bad things happening to good people, too tired of feeling tired. It is just all too draining!
---
I guess I've kinda been in a slump lately.
---
Thankfully, I got to spend yesterday evening at a friends house, and this afternoon at another friends house and boy was that time needed muchly! After relaxing with them and seeing all their fun new stuff I got a bit of an itch to play again.
---
But, my creative space is such a disaster right now there is no way anything very good can come out of it! So, I spent the evening doing some shopping and picked up some shelving stuff & baskets.
---
The plan now is to CLEAN UP!!! Wish me luck!
---
(Maybe I will take a before and after shot, hmmmmmm, we will see how brave I am!)

One person...

Great quote: To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world!
---
I think this is one of my favorite luvey cards I've made. Of course, a pic never does it justice but I was going for simple elegance and I think I got it.
---
Her dress is all glitz up and just pops out IRL!
---
I used some super old patterned vellum I found stashed away, Papertrey's sentiment and Wordsworth image.
---
Hey, something old and something new! Kinda fits for a wedding card eh? hehehe
---
Ya, it's late and I'm not stamping enough! Hope you out there are all stamping more than me these days! :)

I thought December was busy!!!

Yikes!!! February has been absolutely jam packed with way too many big celebrations!!! My mom just had her 60th birthday, my sister's 30th & my daughters 13th birthdays are tomorrow and I had my b-day kinda lost in between! :)
---
My sisters and I decided to throw a big party for our mom and this is the invitation we made for it. Kinda simple, her favorite colors and she is a flower fanatic so we thought they were perfect for her.
---
One afternoon a few weeks ago we got together with the 4 kiddies (nieces & nephews all 4 & under) and we managed to make 38 invites. I don't think the 3 of us had been able to spend time like that together in quite some time and it was great to be able to do this!
---
Sorry, I've not been able to post this sooner but we didn't want her to see it and I haven't had much time for the craft table these days!
---
Here's to future stamping time!
