Busy time

Its a busy time here in the Johnson household. School is only a month away and have 3 girls to get school supplies for.

Getting ready to help my sister harvest her garden.

I am having surgery in August, only taking one day off of work.

My position will be ending at the end of August, so I am looking for a job.

and

I have decided to have an open house in September. I have been a Stampin Up demonstator for many years and never wanted to have any classes or sell Stampin Up products.

I thought I would share my love of stamping with my friends.

Wedding Card

I made this wedding card using the Sizzlix Textured Impressions Wedding Set #2. I love using the textured impressions and texture plates in my cards.

It's Friday!!!

I used the Fifth Avenue Floral to make this card along with some scrapbook paper from Stampin' Up.

A gift for Kelli's Teacher.

Here is another card I made for Kelli's teacher.

On Thursday, my daughter Kelli finishes her summer school class and I have made several cards for her teacher. Here is the sock monkey that I made.

Our vacation

On Thursday, we drove to Six Flags and enjoyed the day there. The older girls got to see Jesse McCartney in concert.

On Friday, we drove 3 hours up north to Legend Lake. Mark's parents live on the lake. We went fishing, boating, tubing, and swimming. We had a great time. Kelli loved collecting as she calls it sea shells by the sea shore or the pond or lake....

Taking some much needed time off....

We are getting ready to take some much needed time away. I hope everyone had a good week. I will post next week.

Take care

Busy picking black berries

Spent this week picking and freezing black berries for this winter. They are so good on ice cream.

Hope everyone is doing good. Will post more tomorrow.
