Friends
Hello sweet neighbors and friends! As some of you know, I have been out of town for the last ten days and I certainly know exactly what Dorthy means, "there is no place like home"! Grampa Art and Nanny (me) took my daughter's four kids to the beach for a week. Oh what a riot that was. Four kids in four different places on a beach! The kids had a blast and I did too. Grampa Art is still recovering!!
From left to right - Grampa Art age unknown, Caroline age 10, Joe age 8, Sarah age 5 and Nicole age 12. Yes that is me age - just south of 70!
I really had a good time swimming with the kids. This is me and grandson Joe - he is yelling help and Nicole is coming in for the kill. I thought those varmints were gonna drown me. But I showed them - LOL!
Every now and then kids seem to get into trouble and when they do, Grampa Art takes them to "time out". You can tell by the looks and posture they are not too happy.
After all that sun and sand it is time for some snow and I do love snow.
I hope y'all have enjoyed my post and my Mr. Snowman and friend card. I also wish everyone a very good summer and I am holding our friends in New Mexico and Northern Colorado in my prayers. For those of you who do not know, the fires are raging in the Southwest and over 180 homes of been destroyed in Colorado.
My best to you and you know I love all your comments.

So happy to have you back and creating even if it is a temporary rest. When do you leave again? I love your card, it is the cutest ever. I am loving your coloring and the colors you used. Beautiful coloring on a beautiful card. Are you resting a lot?
I forgot to tell you again how wonderful your photos are. Love them and you look fabulous!!! Beautiful kids.

You deserve a standing ovation for handling all of those younguns! I hope it was a memorable experience! Love the frosty look of your card. With a heat wave arriving tomorrow in PA, it may be the last chill I feel for awhile. Love it!
Love that family photo, so darn cute! You look fabulous Sandy! I don't blame Art one bit, it would take me some time to recuperate from 4 kids at the beach. Love your card, the colors are so pretty and wintery, that sparkle is a great touch, too. Love everything about it!
Hugs~Kathy
Hello Sandy, lovely lovely pictures! I could not help smiling at the time out one! and wished I would have been in the water with you...
Your card is delightful. but please...no snow. let me enjoy a bit of hot weather. pleeeeeeeeeeeease. Love your papers, and your design. love the little snow falling behind the snowman. love that image soooomuch. Hugs.
Sandy you look just south of 60! and those could all be your kids yet with the energy you have! They are sweet and 3 girls, lucky grandma. I am so envious of you in the ocean, wish I were there too with my 4 extras. On to the fabulous card, I could use a little frost, 90 and humid today in MN. He is sooo darn cute, I have such a soft spot for snowman and he is a darling one, I love how you colored him and made it snow. I love your card, welcome back!
Oh my gosh!! What a blast!! I'm sure your GKs will remember this time forever (even if some of them had time-out, that is just too funny!!!). And your card looks awesome!!!! Love the little extras you added around and on the snowman....he's just too cute!!
Next time bring the GKs down here and we can craft a little on the side!
Welcome back! Glad you had a blast and your grandkids are beautiful!!! But really do you need to be choking the youngest one...poor kid:) kidding of course. You're a better woman than me to love snow. But of course your card is too sweet and just love the different tones of purple and green together.
Shelby
Love, love your Mr Snowman card....could use a bit of him in this heat and humidity! lol I also love, love the pics of you, hubby, and grandkids....they are so cute and it looks like you had a blast! : )

Looks like you all had a fantastic time, well, for most of the time at least! Beautiful family you have Sandy too, lovely photos. Which beach did you go to? I'm assuming it's the Atlantic side but the water looks surprisingly calm! Love your snowman card, although I'm not quite ready for the snow to fly, it's nice to think cooling thoughts on the Summer Solstice. Lovely to see you back home again.
Hugs
Brenda
Sandy, love your pictures of the beach! I'm jealous - we are still having yucky weather here. Grandkids can be so much fun at that age! Loved your card and looking forward to more to come.
hugs, Ruth Ann
A lovely Christmas card with cute image. Great photos, glad you had a good time, I'd wondered where you had gone! I kept checking and you were nowhere to be found. lol Hazel x
It sounds like you had a wonderful time with your grandchildren! What special memories you've made for them. I only had one grandparent alive and I treasure the few times I got to spend overnight with her! As for the beach, boy do do I wish I had been there! We are in the middle of the 90's and humidity! Ick! Your card was a welcome relief to the heat! Love all your little extras with the liquid pearl and sparkles!
Hugs!

Hi Sandy, thanks so much for sharing your lovely photos, it looks as though everyone, especially you, had a wonderful time. I love the water, but not the ocean, too many creepie crawlie thingys in there! Love your Christmas card, the snow on it looks so real.

Here I am, scrolling past your bazillion wonderful messages to leave you another one. ;)
I cannot believe you went and did that to yourself. Good grief chica! I'm happy you got the vacation with the grandkids though, before you went and pulled this stunt.
I always think of you and how your fun self is doing and now I will think of you even more and hope for a full and speedy recovery. I'll certainly try to tickle the funny bone for your amusement as well...it's not located near the hip so it shouldn't hurt too badily.
I'm so sorry to hear that this happened to you!!!! Thank you for letting me know, I'll keep you in my bestest thoughts. ;)
Hugs,
Lisa xx

Oh Sandy I was really really upset to read your comment about what has happened to you! Your comments always cheer me up and I can tell by looking at your pictures that you are such a happy carefree person! I really can't say how sorry I am that this has happened to you. I am sure though that you will soon be up and about because your grandchildren obviously kept you fit looking at the pictures of your lovely holiday you had with them. This will hold you in good stead for a speedy recovery - its all about positive mental attitude and I am sure you have oodles of that!! So chin up girl and keep smiling - big get well soon hugs - Susan your UK friend xx

It is soooo kind of you Sandy to leave such lovely comments thank you so much x x x The comment you left asking how did I learn to make the card.. the inky one.. you know Sandy.. I was just playing.. I took some ink pads as the pics shows and smeared the backgrond gently.. inked the edges and then stamp over with assorted stamps.. I had no idea what I was doing just having a wee play... But I did like the results in the end.. and ended up with really inky fingers... great fun.. Have a play when you are feeling up to it... its fun.... Big hugs May x x x
