My Funny Valentine

Well, my Valentine added a comment to Saturday's post!  He must have felt bad because I gave him a hard time about the hike up the Sugar Hill!  Bless his heart.  We didn't walk up the hill yesterday at all - I'll have to report later on collecting sap. 

However, first, the cards for today - these were the cards that we had for the class on Saturday.  The first one was for a teenager - got the idea from Stampin Connection, a site available to demonstrators.  I adjusted it to make it look more like a teens card.

I used one of our shaker frames but when I put the acetate on the top I realized that I had forgotten to put the tiny little hearts in it!  So that was it - no 2nd chance there.  This looks bright enough for a teen.

Then my card that I used for my Leadership secret sister, changed a little for class:

I just love this one.  I used the Fresh Vintage sale a bration stamp set for free.  The colors are Cherry Cobbler, gray and pretty in pink.  Ofcourse there's the twittlepated designer paper.  I had to order another pack of that stuff yesterday too.  Already gone through two!

Tomorrow I'll share the treat ideas I've done for this class and a few for the grandsons.  Several more items to show this week. 

Last night I heard the owls here in the back yard.  Seemed funny that I had just mentioned them on SAturday's post and then heard them.  February is the month they start nesting so we are hoping that since they were hanging around here - maybe they were looking for a home.  If so, we'll not have any mice at all - that would be great.  Well, I have one more thing to show you today.  Steve wanted me to try a new recipe yesterday - Creamy Swiss Onion Soup because we have lots of sweet onions that we raised in the freezer.  I also made Sweet Onion Muffins.  This was the best tasting soup we've had here in awhile and we have lots of homemade soups!  This will be a repeat for sure:

this was really yummy and I made my own bread croutons too.  Wish we had "smell a blog" because the house smelled wonderful.  That's all - see you tomorrow.

Mmmmm - I love homemade soup. The added bonus - lower sodium. I may raid your freezer!

Your pictures look very professional.

Yum..soup looks wonderful. How'd you make that little envelope on the front of that card? Super cute.

Very cute cards. I really like the first one.
Okay, now you've made me hungry. I hope you are sharing the recipe. It sounds good.
