Happy Birthday S!

Today is my oldest daughters 4th birthday. I say this all the time and all you mom's out there know it, it's gone by so fast. What a special day it is....my girl made me a mom for the first time. I remember it so well and thinking, "I can't believe God gave me a girl." I was convinced we were having a boy. Unlike pretty much everyone else now a days, my husband and I (mainly me) decided not to find out what we were having. So, when my doctor said, "It's a girl", I was pretty shocked and happy.


This picture is of us waiting to see Max & Ruby. We were fortunate enough to be able to attend a live performance of the kids show on the same weekend as her party. Which by the way was Max & Ruby themed....no handmade card for the party....I know my limitations.

You Raise Kindness to an Art

When I saw this card at Shelli's blog, I just loved it and knew I had to make it. Of course you can see I modified it slightly. I used a larger butterfly die and the colors are different. I was really excited to use my new Color Spritzer....fun tool.

Happy Birthday Shane!

Today is my husband Shane's birthday. He's a good man, father, friend and husband. I love him so much and most of all he makes me laugh....a lot. This is important and he knows its the primary reason I married him (well there are a few others, but its the most important...heh).

Here's the card I made him.

I Pledge....

Hi Everyone.....

I'm pledging to do this. This is not an easy thing to do, not necessarily texting, but using the phone in general. But you know what, I want to be here for my family and friends and I certainly don't want to take anyone's life. What did we do without cell phones before....we survived. How hard can it be to just wait till your car is in park. Let all do this!

I personally know Kristin and I can't imagine how difficult this time has been for her. I pray that none of us have to experience what she has gone through.

Be safe and God bless us all!

Sugar and Flour

I don't know what took me so long to do these. Level 1 Hostess Set in the Definitely Decorative catalog.

Card Club

Card Club was at my house last night. Here are the two cards that the group made. I'm sure you recognize the first one. I actually made it first before I made my brother-in-laws card. I needed a card for my brother-in-law and loved this one so much I thought I could definitely turn it into a masculine card. What do you think?
