Vacation

So sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I have been thoughly enjoying a vacation in Michigan with my children and grandchildren. We have had a fantastic 2 1/2 weeks so far and kind of dread leaving on Sunday. We will really miss the family when we go home.We have been attending church with our son and daughters and grandchildren. It has been so rewarding.

We have visited several places that we used to go to alot. Houghton Lake, Alma, St. Louis, Greenville and Frankenmuth and several apple orchards.
We spent the day yesterday in Frankenmuth with our daughter Laurie. Ate a magnificent chicken dinner at the Bavarian Inn and spent several hours at Bronners the Christmas store. Oh my goodness. What beautiful ornaments and other decorations for fall and Christmas. I am bringing some home with me. There is no other Christmas store in America that compares to Bronners.

We are planning a Thanksgiving and Christmas (combined) dinner on Saturday with all the family here. It will be so much fun and enjoyment for us. We miss spending the holidays with them. Bitter sweet moments.

We will be back in San Diego on Sunday around noon. It will be so good to see my friends and card class members again. I have missed them all this month and will be happy to get back to our normal schedule.

See you all soon,
Love and Hugs,
June

Layered Labels

Finally I am almost at the last card for June. Just one more left to put on. I just don't believe I got so far behind. I guess I will have to put them on before class from now on to keep up to date.

I really appreciate all my card class members and their faithfulness every month. It makes it such a joy to prepare for.



 

 

This is the inside of the card. Because I cut the image out of the card front, stamped it on white and put it behind the card front I felt I needed to stamp something inside. It worked out great.
