I've been a way for a very long time.

Wow, time has past since I was last here. I was taking care of my dad after work each day, not getting home till 8 or 8:30 each night. This took a lot of time. I would not have traded it for anything. You see he had Vascular dementia and Alzheimer. I had so many questions and got a lot of answers. But we also had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed my time with my dad these last few years. He passed December 10th 2015. I'm having a hard time getting back to a different routine. Now I have time to fix dinner at a normal hour, clean my house, spend time with my husband and family. My dogs have enjoyed me being home more. I now can battle the darn blackberries in my yard. Boy did they take over. I'm also looking for when I can work in my crafts. I have always wanted to quilt and do embroidery. I will post what I'm making here for you to enjoy. I'm glad to be back.

Giveaways!

Thank You Cards

Here are some Thank You cards I made for a co-worker. First I have place the items I would like to use in this card out to look over.









Next I stamp the paper before putting anything on it. I learned this one the hard way. The stamps I'm using are from Stamps of life, Stephaine Barnard. I just love them and they don't cost a ton.







Here is a dragon fly thank you .


I stamped the inside with a lot of thank you's and pop dotted the dragon fly.






















Next is another butterfly with a some of jewels. Hope you enjoyed these cards. Have a great day!

Happy Memorial Day

A special thank you goes out to all of the service men and women overseas and at home. God bless to our fallen men and women. Thank you for protecting our freedom and thank you for servicing.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Sympathy and Mothers Day Card

Here is a Sympathy card I made for a co-worker the other day. I used card stock for the card and then some paper from Joann's DCWV. The ribbon was from Joann's as well. The stamp is from Stamps of life. I just love her stamps.



My next card was for Mothers Day, I gave this to my daughter. She has a special book she puts hand made cards in. I think that's great.


I used some card stock I had for the card, the flower paper was from Joann's again by K&Company. Love that specialty paper. Buttons I got at CW along with the ribbon. I really had a lot of fun making these cards the other night. Have a great day!
