The sentiment is also a cut file from the Silhouette store and I cut it out of vinyl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I've said this before, but vinyl cuts small lettering beautifully and applies to your cardstock very easily.</div>

<br />
I had so much fun buying all the stuff for stocking it and setting it up. We've been out in it twice now and are just loving the experience.<br />
<br />
Last Saturday we were out at Rye Patch State Recreation area in Nevada. We had a great time and saw the most beautiful starry sky I have seen in my whole life. It is amazing when you get away from pollution and city lights how different the sky can be!!<br />
<br />
I decided to use our challenge this week to dress up our coffee mugs for our motorhome.<br />

Red Hat Society day is the April 25th.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Red Hat Society (RHS) is an international social organization that was founded in 1998 in the United States for women age 50 and beyond, but now open to women of all ages. Its main purpose is to provide women with opportunities for pleasant social interaction, both for reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. There are more than 50,000 members in the United States and 30 other countries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
According to Wikipedia:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In the fall of 1997, Sue Ellen Cooper, an artist from Fullerton, California, purchased an old red fedora for $7.50 from a thrift shop during a trip to Tucson, Arizona. When a good friend was nearing a 55th birthday, Cooper cast about for an idea for an original gift. Inspired by a well-known Jenny Joseph poem, "Warning", which begins “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.” Cooper wanted to encourage her friend to grow older in a playful manner. She gave her friend a red hat of her own suggesting that she keep it as a reminder to grow older playfully and on her terms.[2]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The symbolism behind the red hat affected women Cooper encountered. Those women responded by wearing their own red hats and entering a new women’s movement that embraced a renewed outlook on life filled with fun and friendship, fulfilling lifelong dreams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Cooper repeated the gift on request several times, and eventually several of the women bought purple outfits and held a tea party on April 25, 1998, at which the Red Hat Society began.</div>

I think butterflies are the most beautiful and delicate creatures!<br />
<br />
And, to think they transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly is so incredible.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love to read a good book! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I especially like a page turner that you can't put down, like Jurrasic Park, The Da Vinci Code, The Hunger Games, to name a few. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or, I enjoy reading the classics, like Gone With The Wind or Pride and Prejudice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently I have enjoyed Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty and a historical fiction called The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you like to read? What are some of your favorites?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Are you a fan of jelly beans? If so, do you like the traditional jelly beans or the Jelly Belly jelly<br />
beans?<br />
<br />
Actually I like both, but lean toward Jelly Belly's. My favorites are the pear flavored, pop corn flavored and bubblegum flavored. How about you?<br />
<br />
With Easter on the way I purchased the big jar of Jelly Beans at Costco and have been enjoying grabbing a handful now and then.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Easter, we have an Easter themed challenge this week.<br />
<br />
Our challenge this week is Bunnies or Baskets, share a project with either bunnies or baskets and don't forget the die cut.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Did you like to color when you were a child? Do you still like to color?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
March 31st is national crayon day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I was a child I used to love to color, and when I got the big box of 64 crayons I thought I'd died and went to heaven. I hate to admit this, but I used to like my Barbie color books the best. I loved putting eye shadow, lipstick and blush on them with my color crayons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you have a favorite color? Has it always been the same or has it changed since you were young?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mine has always been, and will always be, red. Love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are celebrating national crayon day with our challenge this week.</div>
<br />
Our challenge over at <b><a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Die Cuttin' Divas</a> </b>this week is favorite color!<br />

This year the festival runs from March 20 – April 14, 2019, it is full of events that honor both American and Japanese cultures and represents a close bond forged between the two countries that began with Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki’s gift of the trees back in 1912.<br />

The time changes this weekend!<br />
<br />
Although I don't like the fact that it is "Spring Forward" and we lose an hour of sleep, I do like the fact that it means we are heading in to spring!!! Yipee!!!<br />
<br />
So looking forward to spring this year! It has been a very snowy, cold winter.<br />
<br />
Our challenge this week is Hello Spring, share a spring inspired project and don't forget the die cut.<br />
<br /></div>

Love your cute polar bear card!<br />Worst winter experience was when my daughter was little, about 5 years old. We had taken a winter vacation to go to the Lake Tahoe area from the central coast of CA where we lived. It was an 8+ hour drive for us to get to my husband's family cabin. Just as we arrived, our daughter threw up. It went downhill from there, as the bug took a turn with each one of us. We didn't feel well enough to drive home and had to extend our stay there. It was cold and we had snow to deal with, which we were't used to. All in all, a pretty miserable vacation! Had a hard trip home when we did feel well enough to travel, because our ears were so congested that it was painful to change elevation on the way down the mountain!</div>

<br />
I'm ready for all of it, how about you?<br />
<br />
Tired of cold weather, wind and snow; looking forward to sunshine and flowers blooming.<br />
<br />
When I start thinking about spring, I think about Easter.<br />
<br />
Today I'd like to share an Easter card I created with a cut file from the Silhouette Design store.<br />
I just love the way this little bunny is balancing a couple of Easter eggs on his nose.<br />

We have had a very cold and snowy winter this year!<br />
<br />
I know a lot of the rest of the country has also. There has been snow in places that pretty much never see snow.<br />
<br />
Kind of makes you think of the arctic.<br />
<br />
Makes our challenge this week pretty fitting :)<br />
<br />
Our challenge over at <b><a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Die Cuttin' Divas</a> </b>this week is Polar Bear!<br />

I think in this day and age we need kindness more than ever.<br />
<br />
I also think it takes far less energy to be kind, than not. Just remember it takes less muscles to smile than to frown :)<br />
<br />
Have you ever participated in doing a RAK (Random Act of Kindness)? I have and I think it truly brought me more joy than the person on the receiving end.<br />
<br />
This we week are highlighting kindness for our challenge.<br />
<br />
Our challenge over at <b><a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Die Cuttin' Divas</a> </b>this week is RAK!<br />

We are a couple days away from Valentines Day.<br />

My husband and I have a tradition of going to See's Candy and getting a 2 lb box of hand picked chocolates! Mmmmm!! That way we get all our favorites in whatever quantity we choose. I look forward to it every year.<br />
<br />
Do you have a tradition with your sweetheart?<br />
<br />
Since it is Tuesday we are bringing you a new challenge and we are sticking with the Valentine theme.<br />
<br />
Our challenge over at <b><a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Die Cuttin' Divas</a> </b>this week is love!<br />

The following is the first verse and chorus of a song by Orleans that came out in 1976:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've been together since way back when</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I never want to see you again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I want you to know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all these years</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You're still the one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want whisperin' in my ear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You're still the one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to talk to in bed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still the one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That turns my head</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're still having fun</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And you're still the one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I feel like this song kind of sums it up for my husband and I.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I chose to use it as inspiration for our challenge this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">Our challenge this week is Inspired By A Love Song. </span> Share a project inspired by a love song and share the song with us and <span style="text-align: center;">don't forget the die cut!</span><br />

Is anyone else out there ready for spring?<br />
<br />
I, for one, would like to tell Old Man Winter that he is no longer welcome! I would like to feel the sunshine and see some flowers :)<br />
<br />
Guess I'm going to have to wait a while longer, more snow is predicted in my neck of the woods.<br />
Oh well!<br />
<br />
Since it's Tuesday, it's time for a new challenge.<br />
<br />
Our challenge over at <b><a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Die Cuttin' Divas</a> </b>this week is a sketch challenge!<br />
