final ICAD cards . . .

I finished the ICAD 2016 challenge. I can't say I like all of my cards . . . but it was fun and gave me the creative boost that I like about doing challenges. I started off following the prompts . . . but I found it easier to keep up if I just played around with whatever came to mind. An index card a day for 61 days . . . although I think I have 62 cards. :)
Another hot one here today . . . although instead of 108 it is only supposed to me 102 and in a couple of days we are supposed to back down into the 90's. As much as I like summer . . . and the heat - I am thinking somewhere cooler for a few days sounds like a good idea.

summer stuff . . . .

Reading . . . reading . . . reading . . . I love the extra time I have in the Summer that I can spend reading. I think a trip to the book store is in order though . . . I am nearly done with these.

Lily and I have a Summer bucket list . . . we can now cross off "getting a pedicure" and going to lunch. I am going to have to add "a trip to the bookstore to that list and take Lily with me.

Lunch with the girls . . . I love when they are together. Charlotte tries to keep up with everything Lily does . . . and they get so extremely silly at times. I LOVE SILLY!

fun with index cards . . .

I was a little impatient with this card . . . but I like the idea.

This one was just a card that I tried paint, brushes, and pens on. I liked the way it looked so decided to include it as one of my ICAD cards.

coffee and cards . . .

I get behind on posting my index cards. I am actually just behind on posting anything . . .

I thought I better put something up here.

My mom left this past weekend and it has been sort of quiet with her gone. I am still off work . . . I am beginning to believe I get more accomplished when I am in a routine and going to work - (if that makes sense) . . . since when I am working I always seem to complain that I need more time. I tend to be a mess of contradictions though always.

(I am pretty sure it is both why I make Richard crazy and also why he loves me.)

. . . I guess I just need to embrace that - whether I am working or on vacation.

I had a plan to go into work today to get a couple of things done. I am putting that off until tomorrow.

I think I am going to go pick up Lily . . . and we may just wander today!

quick post . . .

Shopping with Charlotte . . . always fun!

This one loves to shop!

A few cards from last week. I am a little behind, but working on getting caught up.

My mom is still visiting and I am making the most of the time she is still here. She leaves the end of this week and I am already dreading saying good bye.
