My August 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit – the Hope Box from our own Shelli Douglass – arrived last week so….I wanted to share it with you and give you a little good news about it, too! 😉
This kit contained everything to make nine pretty cards – full size A2 cards (with decorated envelopes and everything!). #nonekkidenvelopes 🙂
November’s cute, Jolly Gingerbread kit contains enough supplies to create one-of-a-kind Christmas crafts! Whether it’s a gift card carrier, traditional card, or tasty-looking tag, this sweet and seasonal kit is the key to heartfelt holiday gifting. With curly cutouts, sugary stickers, and delicious die-cut designs in a special-edition box, a jolly holiday will be on its way with this kit!
Check out our fun little promotional video to sneak a peek at the Jolly Gingerbread Paper Pumpkin Kit!
Good Saturday, y’all! Hope you’re ready for a great weekend – I’ll be hanging “virtually” with a BUNCH of Stampin’ Up! Leaders today – and that’s what I got to do yesterday, too! Awesome info being passed to us – using a platform that is ALMOST as good as being there.
I laid in some extra candy just to make the experience more “real”! 😉
The other day, I got my August Paper Pumpkin in the mail! It’s called World’s Greatest – and it’s full of….great! 😎…goodies to make 9 cards and coordinating envelopes!
Can you tell that one of the designs is a shaker card? Well…trust me on this. It totally is!
And they ALL have foil accents – which is too fun!
Lots of great sentiments for you, too – for the kit projects AND for future cards!
The stamp set – called World’s Greatest is – like ALL Paper Pumpkin stamp sets – exclusive to the kit.
The kit – again like ALL Paper Pumpkin kits! – comes with everything you need to make the projects – as well as the instructions! 🙂
Once everything is together – this is what you’ll have! And – you KNOW how I feel about envelopes! #nonekkidenvelopes 🙂
And – you don’t have to stop there – you could make a few “as directed” cards and then go off on your own. Here’s some ideas for you! How cute is that pencil?!?
You can check out the “official” Stampin’ Up! video for this month’s kit right here!
So – there’s what August looked like! September’s kit rolls in….FALL!
As the autumn season approaches, prepare to celebrate with the September Paper Pumpkin Kit! There’s so much to love about fall—some love the haunts of Halloween, many love the time to give thanks, and others love the changing colors and cooler temperatures. Whatever you love most about fall, September’s kit has everything you need to celebrate the season your way!
September’s kit is a must-have for those who love to celebrate all things spooky. But, for those who DON’T enjoy the Halloween haunts, the multi-occasion stamp set – combined with a variety of die-cut and reversible paper pieces – offers many ways to customize your fall crafts!
The Hello Pumpkin Paper Pumpkin Kit includes enough supplies to create projects celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the autumn season. Make them all the same, or mix ‘n’ match!
Here’s the deets….

On 10 August, the state of Iowa was hit with a derecho storm. If you have seen any videos of it – it truly looked like a hurricane had hit Iowa. Uhm – because it totally had – winds in the 100+mph range (that’s Cat 2 territory, folks!) With no warning to speak of. To say it was devastating is a bit of an understatement! 🙁
As a result of the storm, at least 43% of the corn and soybeans grown in the state were lost. Which will be seen in the supermarkets where you and I get our food! But beyond all that – many in that state are hurting, have lost their homes, schools and businesses and some are still without power (12+ days after the storm and with daytime temps in the 90’s ). Many farm families lost everything and are left with a huge mess to clean up prior to planting next spring. With so much destruction, they can really use our help!
There’s an organization in Cedar Rapids, IA, called the Iowa Giving Crew, a Cedar Rapids based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that’s helping to get power restored to those still waiting, is feeding those in need, provides 3 meals a day and is helping with the cleanup. They’ve got a Facebook page that you can see here with photos and details about the help they’re providing.
In an effort to help, I’ve set a goal of donating $500 to the Iowa Giving Crew.
There are two ways you can help me to reach my goal:
Shop Online: For any orders placed through my online store between now and 31 August 2020 I’ll be donating 20% of your merchandise total to the Iowa Giving Crew.
Make a Donation of $25+ directly to the Iowa Giving Crew:
As an added bonus, I’ll enter anyone who either orders $50+ through my online store between now and 31 August 2020 OR who makes a direct donation* to the Iowa Giving Crew by 31 August 2020 into a drawing for a brand new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!
*Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses. Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine. Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight MT on 31 August 2020 to be entered to win the machine. One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Tuesday, 1 September from all of the entries received.
Questions?
Drop me an email at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net with any questions. I so appreciate your help and donations to help the good folks in Iowa!! #iowastrong #derecho2020
Watch for more details – but…here’s the gist! 🙂
There’s lots of great reasons to join Stampin’ Up! and I’d love to have you join my team! See all the bennies here – and watch for more details as we get closer to September! If you’ve got questions, give me a shout and we can chat! 🙂

Finn Fan Fix
Most evenings – Finn does one of two things.
I ask – are you ready for bed or do you want to go outside?
He responds by either heading down the hall to the bedroom or to the back door to go out.
Okay – a lot of his answer depends on where he’s standing and where he’s “pointed” when I ask it! I think he goes out sometimes with no real need! 😉
On the nights he chooses to go outside – I put his blinky light collar on and tell him to hurry and come right back.
When he comes in he makes a beeline for bed.
Usually – I can snag him in time to take the blinky light collar.
Sometimes…I miss…
You gotta be quick – once he heads to bed….he’s like a HF on a laser! 😉

Hey y’all – happy Friday! Sorry I missed you guys yesterday on YouTube – it was one of those days where I was at the mercy of the medical establishment. And – since all things run on their time-line (and not ours!), canceling our video just seemed like the prudent thing to do!
But…I missed ya! 🙁
For today – I thought I’d give you a peek at the July 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit called…Summer Nights! It’s a lot of fun – it makes luminarias and postcards if you make it according to the instructions in the kit! There’s also an Add-On – with note cards and envelopes to transform the leftovers – or the primary pieces depending on what you want to do! – into regular cards. Check out the kit!
First up – there’s the exclusive Summer Nights stamp set and a Blackberry Bliss Ink Spot…
Then it all opened up to reveal the goodies needed to create nine postcards and coordinating envelopes, as well as nine die-cut tealight bags.
I also bought the add on…
…and made cards and envelopes!
First – here’s the video that shows you how the kit goes together “regular”…
And here are the cards you could make with the kit goodies and the Add-On!
I love these lanterns strung on the twine, don’t you? With the fireworks in the background – it really says easy summer nights!
This next one is one of my faves! Here in Georgia, the lightning bugs have really been in out in force this summer! Like…more than I’ve seen in a long time. They often come right up to our windows and “bug” us! 😉 These cuties on this card – yep. They’re JUST like that!
The last one looks like summer on the boardwalk! And actually makes me think back to two summers ago when we were in Seattle before our cruise. We walked down to the pier and there was the giant ferris wheel! We didn’t ride it, but…it would have been fun. HIGH – but fun!
I’ve got cards and envelopes left-over – so they’ll be awesome bases for more projects! I think they’ll be great for birthday and congrats cards, don’t you? And – did you notice the uber-cute lightning bugs on the inside of the envelope flaps? #nonekkidenvelopes!
So – let’s talk August Paper Pumpkin for a second!
It’s the World’s Greatest kit and it’ll help you celebrate and appreciate life’s champions and everyday heroes.
Lately, it’s become abundantly clear who the everyday heroes are—they’ve been around us – but now we’re REALLY taking note! Teachers, doctors, hairdressers, nurses, delivery workers, cashiers, and even our friends, kids, and family members go above and beyond to enrich our lives. These people are truly the world’s greatest at what they do!
Celebrate and appreciate the everyday heroes in YOUR life with the August Paper Pumpkin Kit. The cards included in this kit are specifically designed for celebrating life’s champions! Check out this quick video to catch a glimpse of World’s Greatest by Paper Pumpkin.
Here’s some deets:
And – while this kit will create cards that’ll be great for ANYone to receive, they’re especially perfect for the men in your life! Yeah for masculine cards (we all KNOW how hard it is to create those, don’t we!!?).
Be aware – if you want get THIS kit, you MUST be signed up for Paper Pumpkin by 10 Aug. Sign up on 11 Aug….and you’ll get the SEPTEMBER kit. Which is probably awesome – but…it’s not THIS one!
If you’re not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – there are two ways to sign up – check it!
You can sign up for a subscription where you’re billed monthly for your kit – click here to get started.
Hey y’all! Happy Tuesday! Hope you’re having a great week. Had a good day yesterday for my birthday. We had Popeyes for lunch – did a little shopping – and got our first of the two-shot Shingles vaccine – yes, WE know how to celebrate a birthday, for sure!! LOL!!
I really want to thank all of you for the wonderful birthday wishes I got all day – in the mailbox – in the InBox – on Facebook. I appreciate each and every one of you very much!! I’ve hijacked Finn’s spot today and tomorrow – cuz the cards I’ve received are wonderful and I want to share them with y’all! 🙂
My bright yellow Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin Kit arrived the other day and I thought I’d put it together lickety split – cuz…it really looked like a great kit!
As soon as I opened the box – I knew I was right – it IS a great kit!
I found the sweet exclusive Box of Sunshine stamp set and a Basic Black Ink Spot…
…and all the pieces and parts to make eight cards – decorate the box for sending/gifting – AND leave me with plenty of leftover elements to use to create more cards!
The eight cards went together really quickly – some stamping – a little sticker-sticking and some dimensionalizing and…
How sweet are those cards?
And – in the spirit of no-nekkid-envelopes….SU! pre-printed them for us with pretty gold-foil accents!
So pretty and fun!
I decorated my box – and will pick one of the four card-designs to include when I mail it out!
Box of Sunshine, indeed!
So – in case you’re wondering – here’s Sara with a quick video on how it all goes together!
Cool, right?
Well – I’ll tell you what – the July Paper Pumpkin looks to be very cool, too! Check it out!
Celebrate the magic of summer nights with the Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin Kit! In this exclusive fun-filled kit, you’ll unbox enough supplies to create nine postcard-style cards, coordinating envelopes, and die-cut tealight bags. What’s even more spectacular about July’s kit is the ADD-ON you can purchase along with it!
The Summer Nights Add-On includes 24 card bases and envelopes in coordinating Summer Nights designs. This add-on is perfect for helping you expand the Summer Nights creative experience beyond the Paper Pumpkin kit. Between the add-on and the leftover supplies from your Summer Nights kit, you’ll be crafting a summer night worth celebrating all month long!
The Deets:
Summer Nights Kit
Kit contains enough supplies to create nine postcards and coordinating envelopes, as well as nine die-cut tealight bags.
Summer Nights Add-On

Note: During demonstrator product testing, SU! learned that the Summer Nights Add-On could make at least 20 additional cards when combined with the leftover pieces from the Summer Nights kit. Whoo-hoo!!
Okay – they had me at “tealight bags”!! – and I bet lots of folks are going to be excited for those, too. Which means…this one could sell out in a hurry! So…if you’re already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – don’t suspend or skip for this month! If not, but you’d like to sign up, there are two ways!

Finn Fan Fix
Finn agreed to let me use “his” space for a couple of days so you could take a look at the cards I got from teammates, customers and fellow demonstrators – all of whom are ALSO my friends! I am lucky, indeed! 🙂
These two fun-fold beauts are from Rosie Kean – one of my Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew (CNCK) Team!
My Upline (aka – the reason I’m in SU! at all!!) Amy Koenders – sent this gorgeous Birds & More card!
Faith Simpson – a customer and also a fellow Demonstrator – created this wonderful Grace’s Garden card!
This sweet card came from a friend I met on my last business trip before I retired – Beth Kist invited me to dinner and some card making! 🙂
Karen Finkle – a long-time CNCK-er, sent this pretty card!
Another CNCK team member, Shirley Gentry, who lives in GA, sent this poppy-strewn beauty.
Final card for today – my friend Karen Ksenzakovic – my Amy’s Inkin’ Krew teammate, sent a little tropical garden my way!
Come back tomorrow to see the rest of the cards I’ve gotten this past week! Every day has brought some more happy mail! Whoo-hoo!!

Happy Happy Hawwwmp DAAAAAAY!!!
Hope your week is going swimmingly!
My post today is two fold – to let you know about a fun event taking place TOMORROW – that YOU can take part in! And, for the second fold, to share a quick look at the seriously-cute May 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit called A Kit In Color (you’ll see why in a just a second).
First – tomorrow, 21 May 2020, is the Stampin’ Up! Day of Service and Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin’ Up!, will be going live on her Facebook page at 2:00 PM MT to create 20 cards with the COVID-19 Give Back PDF and she’s inviting everyone to join her!
Here’s Sara to tell you all about it in her Facebook Live Video!
If you want to join in during the live event – here’s what you’ll need handy to make the cards with Sara:
Card bases
Designer Series Paper – any will do!
Scissors or a Paper Trimmer.
Adhesive
Embellishments
Printed copy of the Share Sunshine PDF Download (which can be purchased here for $12 US – it’s digital so you’ll have it right away!)
So that you can prep your Designer Series Paper before the event starts – here’s a PDF of the instruction/cut sheet!
If you’re unable to participate in the live craft party, the replay will be available to view any time on Sara’s Facebook page!!
Okay – fold one done! 🙂 Hope you get a chance to “hang” with Sara – she’s a lot of fun and it’s all going to a great cause!
Fold Two! Paper Pumpkin!
My May Kit arrived yesterday and I opened it up right away. I’d heard good things about it and was anious to put the cards together!
I found a cute stamp set – and a Misty Moonlight Ink Spot!! Whoo-hoo!!!
Plus a bunch of die cut designs, banners, CLOUDS!, twine, vellum pieces and ADORABLE puffy flowers in the new 2020-2022 In Colors (plus Purple Posy!) – with card bases and envelopes to make 8 full size cards and 4 notecards!
I got busy right quick and, about an hour later (okay – twelve twine bows sort of slowed me down. Don’t judge!) – I had them all done!
How. Pretty. Are. Those!?
This set REALLY showcases the new In Colors and lets you see how well they work together!
The first full-sized card is based on Just Jade with the pretty rainbow “postage stamp” die cut on the front! And – do you see the flowers?? They’re sort of “puffy” and I love them!
The second full-size card has super fun clouds on a rainbow base! And my favorite sentiment in the whole kit!
Finally, there are four notecards, with a Purple Posy base. This one is really fun – and I kept hearing Mike Myers in my head saying “Groooovy, baby”!!! 😉
I didn’t do anything to the insides yet – I’m keeping them blank so that I can add a sentiment as I need one. Happy Birthday. Congratulations. Welcome to the Team! These are great cards – ready for any occasion!!
Here’s a quick how-to-put-it-together video! JIC my highly detailed instructions didn’t help. 😉
This is a great kit – and…the June kit – created with lots of input from Sara herself – looks to be equally awesome!
This exclusive Sara-inspired Paper Pumpkin kit is here to help you #sharesunshine. It includes supplies for eight handmade cards and is specially designed to help you create a box full of cheer. Once you’ve made all the cards, use any leftover pieces to decorate the box. Fill it with yellow goodies, add the included adhesive label, address it to someone special, and brighten their life with a little sunshine!
Here’s Sara again to tell you more…
And here’s the deets!
Box of Sunshine
Box of Sunshine Information: This kit includes extra pieces and stickers (including a sticker label) to help you create cards AND a Box of Sunshine filled with treats and goodies to send to a friend. (Treats not included! Darn it!)
Now – like the May kit, I have a sneaking suspicion that this one could sell out in a hurry! So…if you’re already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – don’t suspend or skip for this month! If not, but you’d like to sign up, there are two ways!
You can sign up for a subscription where you’re billed monthly for your kit – click here to get started.
OR…
…you can do a Prepaid Subscription!

Just a note! To get the June Box of Sunshine – you MUST be signed up/active by the 10th of June. If you sign up on the 11th of June…you’ll get the JULY kit! Copy??

Finn Fan Fix
Finn is a…teensy bit…of a medler.
Not a lot – I mean, he doesn’t dig in the trash.
Mostly.
Or chew things to bits.
Mostly.
Or…steal things.
Mostly.
Unless…it’s a peppermint wrapper.
And then, all bets are off.
He’s standing in the front of the tack room door, all innocent, waiting for me to let him out.
Real casual.
Whistling, even. To throw me off.
And it almost worked.
Huh? Wrapper? In my mouth?!?
How in the world….????

Good morning and happy Monday, y’all! Hope you had a great and wonderful weekend!
So – I’ve got a couple of things on the agenda today – first off, I want to give you a little peek at the April 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit – called My Wonderful Family.
I decided this month that, instead of tearing open the packaging and making the kit myself, I’d….save it and give it away!
I assume y’all would be okay with that? 😉
I gotta tell you – when I watched the Paper Pumpkin official “reveal” video…(if you’re viewing this post via email, click here to go to my blog to view the video
…I ALMOST changed my mind! I mean- it’s got FUN FOLDS!!! And trees and leaves and birds and such!
But…I stuck to my guns.
Here’s a little look at what you’ll get if you win the blog candy – or HAVE gotten if you’re already a subscriber!
It’s got a cute little stamp set and a Pear Pizzazz ink spot…
And all the goodies you need…
…to make 8 full-size (A-2) fun fold cards with matching envelopes!
And – YOU can win a full kit all ready to go!!
How?
Well – cool your jets…we’ll get there! 😉
Before that, though – let’s talk catalogs!
The NEW 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, in fact!
I’ll be ordering boxes of the new 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Catalog on 5 May, getting them ready with my info, a wish list, info about my Online Host Clubs, etc and, hopefully, mailing them NLT the week of 18 May. (The new Catalog goes live for customers on 3 June 2020)
If you want your copy sooner.. you can join my Stampin’ Up! Team and get your new catalog with your new catalog product preorder on 5 May! Click HERE for info on joining the Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew!
When your catalog DOES arrive….here’s what it’s going to look like!!
And…we’ve got NEW In Colors – one of which (Bumble Bee) you’ve already seen in the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP! But – here are the rest for you to get ready to craft with!
And…the May 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit will give you a full-blown chance to play – way before ANYONE else!

On my video on Saturday night, I mentioned that I’d made a big batch of homemade granola, using a yumm-o sounding recipe my mom sent.
And – I got requests to share, so… here ’tis!
This is a Vermont Country Store recipe – they sent it to my mom in an e-mail….
How does this relate to Finn?
Food. Finn. Hello?
We makin’ granola for us, Mom??
I love granola.
What’s granola, again??
It’s called Lumberjack Granola – I’ll give you the recipe as written and then my substitutes/changes. 🙂
Ingredients
8 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup hulled sunflower seeds
1 cup hulled pumpkin seeds
2 cups walnuts
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup golden raisins
2 cups almonds
1 cup canola or olive oil
1 cup dried cranberries
2 cups pecans
1 Tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 cup shredded coconut
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
In a large stainless-steel bowl, combine the oats, sunflower and pumpkin seeds walnuts, almonds and pecans. Stir with a large wooden spoon (or clean hands) to combine.
Transfer about 4 cups of the mixture to a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse to coarsely chop, but do not make the pieces too small. (This is just to slightly reduce the size of chunks to bit-size and you can skip this step if you prefer really chunky granola.) Transfer the chopped oat mixture to a second large stainless-steel bowl. Repeats until you have coarsely chopped the whole batch – again, not too fine.
Toss the oat mixture with the salt. Pour the maple syrup and the oil over the top and stir with a wooden spoon or clean hands to completely combine the liquids with the oat mixture. It will look just slightly moist.
Spread the granola evenly over the two shallow roasting pans or rimmed baking sheets in a single layer, about 1″ deep. You may need to do this in two batches. Bake, stirring every 15 min or so to keep the granola from burning and turning the pans to bake evenly. Toast to a golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer back to one of the large bowls.
Toss will still warm with the raisins, cranberries and coconut. Let cool before packing into large mason jars to keep up to 2 months.
My changes
Get ready to love this granola. And – if you’re of a mind – it would be awesome in trail mix form – add m&m’s or chocolate chips when the mix is….almost completely cool. We didn’t do that. Wanted to – but…we’re using as cereal, so…
We can add the chips into our cereal bowl on the down-low!
Enjoy!

Hey y’all – my March No Matter The Weather Paper Pumpkin kit got here the other day and I’d been hearing from folks that it’s an awesome kit! So…I got into it yesterday!
As promised, this kit has an additional stamp set and the images coordinate perfectly with the “main” No Matter The Weather Paper Pumpkin stamp set! It didn’t take me very long at all to have 12 cards (with envelopes) all ready to spread a little spring cheer and encouragement!
I love that you get TWO stamp sets – and they coordinate perfectly!
The No Matter The Weather set is the one I used mostly to make the kit per the instructions…
And the FREE extra set I used to create insides and envelope fronts (the envelopes came lined!)
So…I put the kit together exactly as directed (I’m a rule follower, what can I say!??).
In addition to the Basic Gray Ink Spot and stamp sets, there’s all the die cut images and sentiment banners/circles you’ll need. Plus some super cute acrylic “raindrops” to add to the card fronts!
For each card, I completed the front – then did some stamping on the inside and envelope front.
This first design has a cloudy sky with bright rain boots stuffed with Spring flowers. Those are die cuts from the kit. Then on the inside, I stamped the flower basket in Basic Gray and added Grapefruit Grove flowers.
The envelope is lined with Shaded Spruce and I added more flowers on the front!
The second design features a line of fun rain boots – all popped up with dimensionals and embellished with wrapped Baker’s Twine in white-and-green! I added some rain boots from the extra set – the outline image in Basic Gray and the flower-dy-fill in So Saffron. So they weren’t just “floating” in mid-air, I added the “ground” image from the Whatever The Weather set in Basic Gray.
I repeated the boots on the front of the Petal Pink-lined envelope, too.
The final design features more rain boots stuffed with flowers – these are die cuts, popped up with Dimensionals – and an adorable bunny! For the inside, in Pear Pizzazz, I added grasses (this might be my favorite grass image EVER!) and then a Basic Gray bunny. These are both from the free extra set! The little hearts – stamped in Petal Pink – are from the No Matter The Weather set.
I added more grass, bunny and hearts on the front of the So-Saffron lined envelope to complete the set.
If you enjoy a quick video how-to, then here’s one that’s just right!
If you’ve got this set – go ahead and put it together. And – if you want a refill of these cute cards and die cuts…here it is in the Online Store!
Next month’s kit is looking to be equally cool!
My Wonderful Family – is all about building and nurturing relationships through papercrafting. For April, we created a fun, family appreciation themed card kit that will make it easy for you to share your heart with those you love the most: mom, dad, daughter, son, sister, and brother. April’s kit even includes Mother’s Day and Father’s Day sentiments, giving you the perfect way to show your appreciation for beloved parents on their special days with a beautiful, handmade card.
The Paper Pumpkin team knows that everyone’s clan is unique. With that in mind, we’re providing sentiments that would include anyone in your life who feels like family; for instance, “brothers” and “sisters” who have helped you along the journey of life.
And – really? Isn’t that connection – from afar! – especially important right now with all the craziness going on in our world? This kit is timely in so many ways, don’t you think?

All of Finn’s hard work in the garden is starting to pay off!
We planted this past weekend – braving drifts of pine pollen in the pursuit of….peppers!!
In years past, I’ve bought tomatoes and my most-wunnermus Ancho Magnifico Chiles as plants. And while they worked great – they were SPENDY! The plants themselves weren’t too bad – but SHIPPING live plants….Yikes!!
So…this year, I bought seeds and the equipment I needed to start them indoors and parlayed this…
into…
and then….
Okay – I bought those lettuce (buttercrunch) starts at the hardware last week. Instant gratification, yes. But those tomatoes and marigolds (mighty pest fighters!!) and TWELVE CHILE PEPPER plants!! – are all seed started in the kitchen!
We also planted spinach, turnips, mustard, and collard seeds…
And we’re building two more raised beds for the tomatillos, pole beans, yellow squash and spaghetti squash. I hope I can make the squash work – I’ve had problems with it in the past. Maybe THIS is the year!!
I’m sure with the help of my green-pawed-pooch, we can’t go wrong!

Tuesday was like a Monday for me.
I went to the doctor cuz my knuckle on my hand had been hurting for a while. Thought I’d whacked it on the treadmill – exercise…it’ll getcha! But – when it just kept hurting to the point I was annoyed with it…to the doc.
And she told me that she suspects I have…wait for it…gout.
What. The. HECK!?
That was pretty disappointing, not gonna lie. Felt pretty danged old. And also? I have the “rich man’s disease”? I am SO not rich and hollandaise sauce does NOT go well on cauliflower rice. Like I said – disappointing! 😉
Got home to….this.
Which was just so cute and sweet that it made me feel ALLLLL better! 😉
Not less old – but definitely better! 😉

This is a non-Finny Finn Fan Fix!
This is a seedling update!
So…I planted two BioDomes last week – veggies and flowers.
I placed the two BioDomes under the grow light.
16 hours on. 8 hours off.
And then – carefully peeeeered into the domes every day.
Every day….nothing.
Not surprising – a watched seed never grows.
Or…something like that! LOL
But then. THEN! Yesterday…..lookee lookee!!
See ’em?!? Plants! Little plants sticking their little plant-heads up!
According to my careful planting chart – those are marigolds. Which I’m growing to plant in and among my Ancho Magnifico Peppers and my tomatoes.
Happy dance happy dance!
See? Even Finny is thrilled beyond measure!
