 Trying to get caught up with some leftover "chores" from this past weekend...whew, still lots to get done! 

I am going to try to get to this blog a lot more regularly, but who knows...it might be another 6 months before I get on again! I must get a schedule going with this!

After a whirlwind trip to Colorado's Western Slope last week, we are finally home and trying to relax. We had a great time, though. David was teaching a Responsible Liquor Class to owners and employees of liquor establishments on the Western Slope. After three days of the class, I think I could now pass his test!

Living in the country with 35 acres is no picnic! Weeds grow everywhere, and one must keep up to make the yard look presentable. We finally decided to have our friend plant some barley in spots where nothing else grows. Since it doesn't get irrigation water, we planted early in the spring so it would receive moisture from Mother Nature. What a brilliant idea! It is now coming up nice and thick! Hopefully that will keep most of the goatheads from popping up! Those spread like wildfire if not kept under control...much like the Canadian thistle that thrives in our yard, if we'd let it!

I haven't had much time in my garden lately. As I get older, it just doesn't have the same excitement of seeing my little seedlings come up...but, I did get a few things in the ground. I just can't believe it is almost June, and I am just now planting my garden!

Stampin' Up!

Welcome to the new card room blog! This is the place where I "case" and create new greeting cards. (What is "case"? Casing is "Copy and Share Everything"...something most stampers understand and do. But, that being said, we like to give credit where credit is due.) 

Since I am not the most creative person alive, I do like to get my ideas from Facebook, Pintrest, and cards I find on card shelves everywhere. 

My name is Lois Reitz, and I am an independent demonstrator for Stampin' Up! 

Here are a few examples of cards I have made in my card room:

Birthday Card

Sympathy Card

Congratulations Card

If you like what you see, please contact me. I have a monthly class that meets on the third Tuesday of the month, and will be scheduling a Saturday class for those who cannot come during the week. Please contact me if you are interested in learning about stamping, card making, or creating some interesting handmade paper projects!
