Feeling a little “gray”……..

Well, if the weather were not enough to get me down………now I really feel “gray”……….
We have had a tough day.  I can’t go into it all, but lots of things having to do with our foster baby.  Can I just publicly ask any of you that feel led to pray for our baby to please [...]

Walk In The Park

Sorry I didn’t post anything yesterday………I was partly recovering from the  busy weekend, but our internet went down on Sunday night and it took some “work” to get it all up and running again. I really missed not having it………glad it wasn’t a long delay! 
I wanted to show you a card that showcases ALL of the [...]

Prom 2009

Well, hard to believe that she is off to prom……….where did my baby girl go???  By now they should have arrived in Ft. Worth for dinner………hope they are having fun and enjoying their limo ride……….I remember how fun it was for me — no, I am not that old!  I really do remember.  Well, here [...]

Proud Mommy Moment!!!

Last night we traveled to Dallas for Sarah to compete in her final Bible Drill Competition.  She got a perfect score — missing no calls — and received the award of  “State Winner Perfect”.  She was so excited and especially so since this is her last Bible Drill ever.  Just had to brag on her [...]

We’re Home

Hello friends!  We are back and I have hit the ground running……….nothing like a swift kick back into reality!  We had a great time of rest and relaxation and we even went Scuba Diving (Introductory Course)!  That is another story for another day!   We were reminded of how luxurious our Stampin’ Up! cruises were from [...]

Stampin’ Journals

These are two journals that I made for some of my downline.  I made a bunch of them last fall for a group meeting and had these 2 left over.  I found them in my office — guess I should send them to my newest recruits!   The “Happiness” stamp was a gift from Stampin’ Up! [...]

Ghirardelli Box

This is a Ghirardelli Chocolate Box that I saw on Splitcoast Stampers.  I re-created it using Parisian Breeze DSP.  This specialty paper is carstock weight, so it is perfect for creating beautiful boxes with little effort!  It has a slight texture to it, and I like that feature, too!  I also used one of my [...]

Luggage Tag from Jennifer

This was one of my favorite gifts from Leadership……….a bag tag from Jennifer — one of my dear friends from Florida.  We met several years ago at Leadership (or convention?) and we have been friends for the long haul.  Love ya’ Jen!!!!!

Jen made this tag with the Big Shop Top Note Die and Raspberry Tart [...]

Thank You from Lindsey….

This is a really cute card that I got awhile back from a local demonstrator, Lindsey, who has a really fun blog, too!  She does some really great retreats nearby with stampin’ and scrappin’ ……..went to one last year and it was a blast!  I thought it would be fun to share some artwork from [...]

Decor Elements in my house….

I love our Decor Elements, but I have resisted buying them for quite some time.  WHY???  I couldn’t decide where to put one in my house, or which one to buy……..but I finally decided to get one and put it above one of our doorways.  It is in the kitchen area where all my workshops [...]
