Card Club at Ellen's

Card club was at Ellen's last night. Here are the two cards we made. Ellen is oh so clever. The sand on the beach one is sandpaper. Thanks Ellen, it was lots of fun.

This weekend is my Hostess Club Make and Take. I'll post pictures of those cards later this week, so be sure to check back then.

Mother's Day Card

Here is the card that I received for Mother's Day from my husband and two girls. Guess who made it? My husband....and I think he did a pretty good job. He was so funny. He came up to me Saturday night and said, "Okay, I've been super busy. I just didn't have time to get a card. Can I use your stuff to make one for you?" He actually got off pretty easy this year. All I asked for was a few hours of craft time. I think I'm going to cash it in this Sunday.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers, soon to be mothers, sisters, aunts and any anyone else that "mothers" somebody they love.

I want to especially wish my mother Happy Mother's Day. She won't read this, but I put something very similar in her card. My mother is very special to me. As I'm sure all your mother's our to you. She is ALWAYS there. I call and she comes, I cry and she comforts. She is the best mother anyone could ask for. She loves unconditionally. She helps me with my daughters and I don't know what I'd do without her. I love you mom. Thank you! I hope I can be as good a mother as you have been to me.

Quick Thank You's

Here are some more quick thank you's. I really did not expect people to be so generous with my second child. However, I know that when it comes to baby clothes its hard for me to resists. So any excuse to shop for them, I'm game. We also had B baptized this past Sunday, so there were more thank you's to write for that.


Lots going on this weekend, well all month. This weekend we will be celebrating my dad's 80th birthday. He doesn't turn 80 until the end of the month, but its so close to Memorial Day weekend this was the best time to have it. My nephew will also be confirmed at our church on Sunday and of course its Mother's Day on Sunday too. The whole family will be going to brunch on Sunday morning. It should be a lot of fun.


Have a great weekend!

Simply Scrappin'....Man, I love this stuff!

Okay, many of you probably have used the Simply Scrappin' kits from Stampin' Up! before, I have not. I just recently ordered two different packs, Petal Party and 2 Sweet. These are so cute and they have everything you need in them to make several projects.

Before I ordered the two packs I decided to hold a Simply Scrappin' class after I had seen a few demonstrators using a pack to make several cards. I really had no idea all that was included. These really are a great deal. I can't wait to try them out and see what I come up with.

If you are interested in attending the class, just let me know. The date for the class is June 6th from 10-2 and the cost is $30.

Here are the two kits that I ordered.
