Last day to celebrate

 Well, I say that but really everyday of life is a celebration for me!  Everyday that I get without any seizures and my health back is truly a blessing from God thanks to Dr Aboumatar.  So even though there won't be an everyday celebration here on the blog for the rest of the year, there is an everyday celebration that I am living on!!

Love&Laughter

 Here's a lovely card from a kit by Simple Stories.  I just love the beautiful flower, so pretty.  I can't believe it's the last week of the month already.  I am just nine days from Spring Break (nine working days) and the following week I will be going to a convention in Irving Texas!

Question of the day:  Hmmm, what type of supply or stamp topic do you not tend to use in your crafting?

Me?  Believe it or not I don't use die cuts that come with the stamp sets.  I don't use alphabet dies (I occasionally use stickers), I don't use much twine or twill which is weird because i love lace

Awesome Friend

 Here's a great multilayer card from Photoplay. It says, "You are such an awesome Friend."  I totally love these cute card kits.  They are fun to make (either in the way they show you or like me sometimes, any way I want) when you want to do cards but either don't have all the materials at hand or don't have the exact mojo needed to stamping, coloring, layouts,.....when stuck, I like to pull out these kits and create a handful of cards to get going again.

Question of the day:  do you every use card making kits?

Me?  I love card making kits from all companies, esp ones that have ready made pics.  It's fun to just put cards together either following the directions or not (I often change them from the directions), but sometimes I just wanna craft but lack the time and immediate inspiration to just pop out a few cards.

You're Special

 Here's a cute bear card from Krazy Kreations.  They sell these cute kits in sets of three.  I think you are supposed to make three identical cards, but you know how well that goes for me....lol (it doesn't).  The great thing this company has is this amazing glitter paper that you can stamp, color,....you take your copics, color it, then use wonderful peel off stickers and put them on top to make the bear and the flower.

Question of the day:  what's your favorite tool to use when making cards?  

Me?  i think mine is my Misti

For the DH

I have HUGE thanks for my DH who has stuck by me through all this.  The sickness before surgery, the surgery, the HUGE amount of changes after surgery and now....the wonderful normal life post surgery (with occasional panics about going back to pre-surgery life).  What a trooper he is.  He's the best, i tell you what, the BEST!  I had to whip out this Penny Black stamp, coffee theme of course just for him!
