Halloween From Our Web To Yours Card - Newton HalloweenParty Framework SpookyStories spiderwebOval

Using Newton spiderweb paper I cut shape of TX using my Cricut. Had to die cut spider first then stamp to get the die to line up properly. Placed the spider in approx location on TX state where I live. Used frame die for border trim look. Used greens markers to give the moon green colors & cream around the moon/bats & spider.

Looked at the Comet last night for some time after sunset in Western sky. Hubby set up telescope (bought this from CBS deal & used for eclipse). The tail of Comet was not very long. Did anyone else see it?

HayThere from TX Platform Pop-Up Card - LawnFawn PlatformPopUp HayThereHatsOffToYou QuinnsCapitalABCs

Made this mostly with Lawn Fawn items.

TX is known for ranches. One of the famous ranches is Southfork used in the Dallas tv show. Located not in Dallas, TX but in Parker, TX which is 27.5 miles NE of Dallas. Tours are offered. Company I use to work for held a bbq on the grounds. Took horseback trail riding and one of the trail trips was to Southfork. A memory from that trail ride does not involve the Southfork Ranch but instead the return trip to the stables. After we arrived at Southfork, our instructor told us that the horses know their way back and some may wish to gallop back faster than others. My horse, Diablo, was the one that took off with me holding on and I managed to stay on the entire ride back. Sad news though, the next time of trail riding I was told my horse, Diablo, had died of cholic.

I crocheted the horse for daughter when she was younger.

TX BlueBonnets nothing but blue skies Decor

Happy Memorial Day!

After the storm we had yesterday here in Central TX the sentiment of this creation is what I'm feeling & hoping for:
nothing but blue skies

We celebrated the holiday yesterday w/ bbq of St Louis Ribs. Hubby grilled the ribs. I made a pasta salad using from our garden: tomatoes (we have 3 types growing: Cherry, Grape & Roma Juliet), red onion (we also have TX sweet onions growing) and Basil (we have several herbs growing).

I like BlueBonnets which are the TX State Flower. They bloom in Spring and do not last long. Couple yrs ago hubby & I bought some BlueBonnet plants and planted them in our backyard under a Mini Magnolia Tree. Each yr they come back reseeding on their own as well as I burst the seeds from the pods when they go dormant (brown) and plant more each yr. I still have some that are blooming in a spot that I did not plant and either birds or wind dispersed the seeds there near a wood pile we have near the garage.

Used Tim Holtz Wildflowers die for first time. Paper pieced the Wildflower using core'dinations blue & green cardstock.
Used many TH Distress Inks on the wildflowers (see list below). Used US embossing folder for first time. Used Wink of Stella pens: clear on the Wildflowers & gold on the embossed state of TX. Heat embossed the sentiment. Added ribbons.

I'm going to use this as a decoration.

Woodpile near our fence where the BlueBonnets that are still blooming in my yard are:

We bought this type of grill because it can be used with charcoal or gas. We like the taste of using charcoal along with cedar chips.

Daisy had to get in on the 
red/white/blue festivities:
