Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy your visit.


When I first set up this blog I called it Life Keeps Surprising Me but, since it has now become more about papercrafting, I changed the name to be more reflective of what is going on here.

I am so appreciative of those who have elected to follow my blog and I love to read comments that have been left here for me.

Thanks so much for dropping by.

.........................................I'm Back

....
....



Well, it has been awhile since I have posted anything. So much for my resolution to post at least once a week. Here are my latest projects.
 A pop up birthday card.
 Birthday card for DH. Pete is a licensed private pilot, loves planes, especially WWII fighter planes.
 Card I made for a swap.
 2 page LO remembering an absolutely wonderful afternoon and evening courtesy of our sons, Phil and Eric and their wives, Shannon and Amy. We are so blessed.


This is a "Theme" LO I did for a Scrap From Your Stash cybercrop challenge.

I really want to get so much more done. Our granddaughter, Madison, was in her school play (Annie) and I want to do a LO for that. Pete took a photo of our grandson Leo sitting in PopPop's homebuilt 1/2 scale Corsair. Pete photoshopped the photo so it looks like Leo is actually flying the plane and giving a thumbs up after shooting down a Japanese Zero, another WWII fighter plane. I have so many LO's that I have mapped out in my head, now to just get them done.

Watch this space.

    Love what you've been doing. I know those cupcakes drove you up the wall, but that card is soooo cool! One of the best birthday cards I've ever seen.

    Aw, thanks guys. Melissa, I have a book that shows how to make pop up cards and since I needed to make a birthday card I just decided to use the Cricut and Once Upon A Princess cart to make cupcakes. The card in the book was a Christmas card with pop up Christmas trees.
