Card Kits

I made this card from a kit.... I didn't think I would like it.... but, it turned out really well. The butterfly is the best part... don't know if you can tell from the picture... but it has 3 layers, and then a rhinestone head.... then a brad at the top of the Birthday wishes

These next 4 cards are from a little kit that I bought. I was cleaning up my desk and came across them... they are very simple... but, I am glad that I got them done and ready to use!!

Cute Cards!

These are some cards that I made in my new little craft area!! I cleaned up a corner of my garage, and now I go there to be "creative". I have done it a couple of times now, and I think that I really enjoy it!! I just love these Mary Engelbreit pictures... and I was able to incorporate them into my cards... LOVE IT!!!

Happy New Year!!

Scrap Your Day (for a year)

So, I had some extra time today, and I was poking around shimelle's site.... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, her inspiration.
Well, I came across THIS journaling idea. I think that I am going to attempt it. I have always wanted to take pictures for a whole year... and now I think that I will give it a try!!! I am looking forward to it!!!! You know..... this MAY BE my last year!!!!

PS - have you seen the WONDERFUL doxie valentines @ Target??

Challenge for 2011

Well, I have some much deserved time off from work!!! I don't have to go back to work til 2011. So, I was catching up on my blogs, and sorting through some of my emails... and came across this blog entry. I follow this blog pretty regularly. She had a challenge going for last year - but, I didn't participate!!! This year her challenge is every other week she will post a word relating to God. Then our challenge is to go to the Bible and find scriptures that are meaningful to us based on the word posted for that week. She will go through the alphabet 26 words - 26 weeks!!! Then, we can make a scrapbook page/journal entry/card - anything we want. I just thought this might be a great thing to do for the new year!!!!

Great Christmas Present!!

Things to purchase for my pups!!

Didn't realize how long it had been since I last posted!!! I've been making cards, and collecting ALL KINDS of cute doxie pics. I hope to have some more time in the next few weeks.
Here is a picture that I don't EVER want to lose... it is just too cute!!!

Remodeling Woes!!

I am home today – trapped with my "crazy doxies" and a construction worker.

We are getting our bathroom remodeled – VERY EXPENSIVE – but, worth it. Don't think we could sell the house without getting it done. We don't have plans on reselling in the near future – but, I don't think we are going to retire here!!

So, anyway… I hate being STUCK home. Don't mind being home when it is MY choice – but, I have the most flexible schedule – so that left ME to be home.

Trying to stay focused on the things that need to get done… but, would much rather just lay down and watch a movie!!

Oh well….

2 VERY different cards

One of my FAVORITE bloggers: Jennifer McGuire has a 7-day challenge going with a fellow blogger. Each day they will share a card they both made with the same stamp. I could not believe how different both of these cards are..... but in I absolutely LOVE both of them!!

VBS

I've only got 15 minutes left in today to post.... and I skipped yesterday... YIKES!!
Well, tonight and tomorrow we are having VBS at our church... I know.... Friday night and all day Saturday??!!??!! What is that all about?? I thought the same thing.... But, I think this is going to be good. Tonight went well. Tomorrow, I am going to be teaching 2 different Bible stories, 4 times each. It should be fun!! it will be a long day - but I hope a rewarding day!!
Tonight we had Robin Garvin come with her special friends.... what a special lady!! I loved every minute of it. And our AMAZING children's pastor pulled off a wonderful night for children!!! Thanks Pastor Becca!!

Hopefully more tomorrow... if I'm not COMPLETELY wiped out!!

New Fave!!
