Paper Piecings

Paper Piecings – Birthday Card

I asked permission from simonsaysstamps.com to use their designs to make paper piecings.

This is the first one I’ve gotten done so far. It’s from their Simon Says Clear Stamps “Zoo Animal Vacation”. It’s an Exclusive Set and sells for $14.99.

I made this Birthday card for Madi’s 9th Birthday!

Madi wants Mona to redo her bedroom in Giraffes.

Here’s some more March weather.

This was the dark cloud that gave us the hail that day. We only got a little hail and snow, but Gina got alot of hail and snow.

A few days later we had a wind/dust storm. We get these all of the time, but you never get used to it.

The tumbleweeds fly by us during these storms. Sometimes they are as big as our cars!

Then to make matters worse! Our neighbors always take all of their tumbleweeds, push them into the road for the wind to blow away. Doesn’t matter that there are people driving by, they continue to do this. Then alot of them blew into the small vineyard across the stree and were all stuck inside the grapevines.

This part of living in this part of Eastern WA, wind,sand,tumbleweeds,sagebrush. We have cold winters and hot summers.

I miss Northern California!

Yesterday was the first day of Spring, we had a sunny day with 72 degrees. This morning we woke up to 47 degrees and rainy.

Windy and another storm!

It’s very windy again and very dark clouds surrounding us this afternoon.

I took this picture in our back yard, looking to the West at the very dark sky.  In person it looks darker than the pic.

This pic is out my front yard, showing the clouds moving in and getting darker.

(Sorry about the camera reflection in the pic, didn’t want to go out in the wind again!)

The last weather report I heard, said we may have thunder storm this evening.

Well March definitely roared in like a Lion this year, sure hope it leaves like a Lamb. We sure could use some calm weather around here.

Better go bring Lucy back in, she’s out in the back yard.

Trip to Klamath Falls, Oregon

We started hitting snow south of Bend, Oregon on HWW 97.

As we got closer to Klamath Falls there was more snow.

Some of the family gathering for pics. Just outside our rooms at Days Inn in Klamath Falls, where part of us stayed.

Driving to Running Y Ranch just out of Klamath Falls, we hit a whiteout! It was very scary! Part of the family stayed here.

All of these were taken out of the windshield driving down the highway.

The storm broke up a little.

Our trip home: more of the same weather.

Our trip seemed like it took forever! But we’re home now!
