LIKE A BUTTERFLY

HI, SOME WILL SAY, OH MY...ST. PATRICK'S

DAY ALREADY.....AND SOME WILL JUST SMILE. THE HOLIDAYS GO BY SO VERY QUICKLY, YOU HAVE NO TIME TO ENJOY THEM. SO I GAVE MYSELF A HEAD START. I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND COOKING CORNED BEEF, AND ALL THE TRIMMINGS. YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS IN MY TWENTIES EVERY ST. PATRICK'S DAY WE WOULD GO TO THE PARADE, AND THEN WE WOULD ALL GO TO MC GOVERNS PUB. THERE WOULD BE THE SMELL OF CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE, AND IRISH MUSIC. EVERYONE WOULD BE DANCING, AND HAVING A MERRY OLD TIME. THEY EVEN HAD GREEN BEER. MC GOVERNS IS GONE NOW, ALL 7 OF MY BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S WERE THERE THROUGH THE YEARS. TWO OF MY BROTHER'S MET THEIR WIVES AND TWO OF MY SISTER'S MET THEIR HUSBANDS THERE. BRINGS BACK A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES. HAVE A GREAT DAY. RIZZI

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

I WATCHED SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS THE OTHER NIGHT, IT IS SUCH A SWEET MOVIE. I LOVED THE ENDING AND THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECT FOR VALENTINE'S DAY.

GOT A PACKAGE IN THE MAIL.......IT WAS FROM MY NIECE KAREN, FROM "OVER THE BACKYARD FENCE."

SHE LOVES VALENTINE'S DAY LIKE I DO.

ALL FOR ME :)

PURE CHOCOLATE BLISS

"YUMMY" GO A HEAD TAKE ONE..................

WHEN I OPENED MY GIFT IT SMELLED SO GOOD, LOOK AT THE HEART CANDLES, AREN'T THEY JUST PRESCIOUS

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A VERY CHOCOLATE VALENTINE'S DAY, AND LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY MY FRIENDS. RIZZI

MY NEW CARD MAKING BOOK

I BOUGHT A NEW BOOK THE OTHER DAY ON CARD MAKING. I USUALLY MAKE MY OWN CARDS, BUT SOME OF THE NEWER CARD DESIGNS TODAY ARE SO NICE, I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND MAKE SOME.


WHEN YOU MAKE THESE CARDS, YOU USE A RUBBER STAMP TO MAKE YOUR PICTURE, THEN YOU COLOR IT WITH COLORED PENS, PENCILS, OR PAINT. I EITHER WOULD DRAW A PICTURE, OR CUT SOMETHING OUT AND PASTE IT, ON MY CARDS I WOULD MAKE.

HOPE I CAN DO THIS, IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT EASY.

I THINK THESE CARDS ARE SO NICE. SO I GUESS I WILL GIVE IT A TRY. MY COMPUTER HAS NOT BEEN WORKING THAT GREAT SO I MISSED A LOT OF DAYS THIS WEEK.

MY SON-IN-LAW PAT GOT IT WORKING, THAT'S A GOOD THING. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND. RIZZI

MORE VALENTINE CARDS

I FINISHED MY VALENTINE'S FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THEM WITH YOU.............................................

KEY TO MY HEART........................

I MADE THIS ONE FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER JENNA, SHE LOVES TAYLOR LAUTNER FROM ECLIPES. I THOUGHT SHE WOULD GET A KICK OUT OF IT.

WELL, THAT'S IT, HOPE YOU ENJOYED ALL THESE PRETTY VALENTINE'S, I ENJOYED MAKING THEM.

TODAY IT GOT SO WARM OUT, IT FELT GOOD. NOW I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING, BUT I KNOW THERE IS STILL WINTER A HEAD. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.
