Gracious I have really been trying to keep up with this whole blog world but seems lately there are not enough hours in the day. I thought when we moved from NYC I would have so much more time but that is not the case at all.
This post is for the April Papertrey Pals challenge, like I mentioned above better late than never :) Our wonderful hostess this month was Liz and the challenge was to use some of our pattern paper that we have been saving for a rainy day. Well just so happened back in April I needed to make cards for a gift to give to Emma's teacher, LOVE Mrs. Barnes........ she is the best and I am SO THANKFUL that we landed in her class when we got to NC.
Here are a few of the cards that I made for her....
And here is a little of what I have been up to with my local partner in crime AKA my sister Lisa
This became.......
that :)
and the beautiful part is the farmer we bough our strawberries from uses no pesticides.
We are going back tomorrow to the famers market for more strawberries, I guess the 76 jars we made were not enough so we are going to make more to last each family for the year.
AND
Asparagus is in season and they are AMAZING so I am going to pick up some asparagus and for dinner I am going to make sauteed' shrimp with my seasoning, asparagus, grape tomatoes served over pasta
AND
I will buy enough strawberries to make a cream cheese strawberry tart YUMMO.
Last but not least I took a crazy cardio kickboxing class today and wore my heart rate monitor during the class......... OH MY LORD I burned 905 calories in 45 minutes. Now that is just crazy talk right there but I for sure have earned a Spaten with dinner tonight.
HAPPY WEEK!!!

And I love the jam idea... I need to go back to the farm and grab some more for jam. I've never done it before but it's worth a whirl.
And I hear ya on the blogging... sometimes I completely lack the energy and othertimes -like now- I get really into it.
WOW Sue Ann! What a fabulous collection of cards! My fave is the second one with the little bird in the tree :) Those strawberries look delicious and the jam looks even better!
Sue Ann.....You have been one crazy, busy girl!!! Love all of your cards but the one with the stars is just fabulous!!!
Hey there Sue Ann. Nice to see you! I just love the birdie card. What great paper!! BTW - where can I place my jam order. YUMMY!
Oh how I wish I was your neighbor so I could score a jar of that jam! Sue Ann your cards are wonderful. I was especially drawn to the one with stars and the tag banner. The combination of the patterned paper and all the embellishments are just perfect.
Oh my - I am craving some of that yummy jam! My granny used to make fig jam and flavor it using strawberry gelatin. SO good!
The cards are fabby... I especially love the one using MS4 and the Tag Its. (both of which are still in there original packaging at my house)
Love you, lady! SO glad to "hear" from you!
Now I NEED asparagus and it's only 7:30 am...!
Your pesticide-free strawberry jam looks divine. Wish I was there with you helping!
I'm sorry you don't have more time...are you just involved in more activities now? More driving? What is it that's different?
All of your cards would be welcome at any home, but I know Mrs. Barnes will adore them. That first one with the flower and stem is SO sweet. And don't think I didn't notice your stitching too... AWESOME!
Sue Ann! Yay! So nice to see you and your YUMMY post! Those strawberries look better than the ones in Plant City, Fl (Home of the Strawberry Festival!)
Your daughter's teacher is super lucky. I'm certain she will LOVE those cards! I love the ric rack stem! Beautiful, beautiful!
