Irene

What a wild weather week it's been here in the Northeast!!

Last week there was actually an earthquake here on the east coast!  I personally didn't feel it, but lots in the area did.  The epicenter was located in central Virginia, about 50 miles from my sister's house in Fairfax County!!  She happened to be in Target at the time, and she said that things just started shaking and falling off shelves.  Pretty scary when this is not something we have seen in our lifetime!!

Then, this weekend, Irene barreled into the area.  Although at times I felt the 24/7 coverage was a bit much, the media and local officals did an excellent job of preparing us for the storm.  We fared pretty well, only losing power for about 8 hours, and no major water or debree in the yard.

What we couldn't prepare for however, was the devestation that came after the storm, and the flooding that is all around us now.  We have family and friends that have had to evacuate, and have lost so much in their homes.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to them all.

Wow - I just realized that it's been a while since I last posted!  Boy has this summer been busy!  It seems like just a few days ago Morgan was graduating High School, and now we're getting ready for school to start in 2 weeks!!

Today is a gloomy/rainy day here in the Northeast, and we are actually getting ready to "batten down the hatches" because hurricane Irene is getting ready to head this way this weekend!

So, today's sample is a very colorful, summery card, mostly to remind myself, that summer is not yet over, and I will still be able to be "poolside" for a couple more weeks!

Happy Left Handers Day

Happy Left Handers Day!!

I guess I saw this on Yahoo, and when I looked at it, I found that there is an actual website for Left Handers!  I have been one my entire life, but it never occured to me to look for information on the subject!

This card actually made me think of trying to "adapt" to being left handed.  Growing up, my mother would always get flustered trying to teach me how to do things - ironing being one of them!  She would try to show me left handed, but since she wasn't, she couldn't iron, and it would make it very difficult for me to learn.  I finally told her to just iron with her right hand, and I would just turn it around and do it my way!!  Once I started learning this way, it was very easy to adapt!

Stamps:  House & Home, Curvy Verses

Card Stock:  Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Baja Breeze

Ink:  Baja Breeze, Calypso Coral & Basic Gray Stampin' Write Markers

Accessories:  Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Punches:  Scallop Oval, XL Oval, Paper Snips, Stampin' Dimensionals
