In Sympathy

Hi everyone:

I have had several friends from work who recently experienced a loss in their family and wanted to show them that I am keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.  I have such a hard time expressing how much it hurts my heart seeing them in pain and hope their card was able to show them that.

Look at what I did ...

Hey:

As I stated sometime ago, I have been wanting to do more altered projects and when a friend from work asked me to make some for her boss, I was like, well I can't make her any monogram cards because another friend from work had already asked me to do that, so a hunting I went.  

 

I came across a writing pad folder in SCS and was like, I'm going to give that a try.  I was very pleased I did, because I LOVE IT and it was so easy - you use a decorated file folder and that's all (well, of course you have to embellish a little bit) - it was easy peasy.  I haven't had a chance to talk with Amy about it since she hasn't been in the office this week, but can't wait to get with her to see what she thought (the lady who gave it to her said she loved it).  I can see teacher's gifts in this and know that I will be using technique often.

 

This is the card I gave her to wish her a happy birthday. 

 

Hope everyone is having a great week - we are having beautiful weather and from what I am hearing, it's going to be an even better weekend.

Sunday night

Well, it's Sunday night and that's means one thing - a new week is about to begin :)  I for one am truly blessed to say that, especially after all the bad news coming from Japan and everyone involved in the tsunami - my heart goes out to them all and will be keeping them in my prayers and thoughts.

I am gearing up to start scrapbooking my Nova Scotia trip Jim and I took back in 2007 (yes, I know, I'm very behind) and went through all those pictures this weekend (wow, what a job).  Here are a few of my favorite ones - I'm sure I'll be posting some layouts as I go along.

Also this weekend, Patrick started his own blog (http://mississippiensis.blogspot.com/) for his school science project so if you get a minute, please go by and leave him a comment - he gets so excited when he sees more people have visited :)  He has told me that he wants to keep up with it and hope that he will - he'll have a lot of fun.

Well, I'm headed off to bed so I can start the week refreshed - we had to spring forward this weekend and will be loosing an hour of sleep tonight :(

Enjoy

Woo-hoo, it's the weekend

Hi everyone:

I hope everyone has had a great week and is looking forward to the weekend - I know that I am.  I am slowly getting back to doing some creating, but want to show you something that I did last weekend for a very special friend's birthday, who loves purple (hince the color).  This was a very fun card to make and I just love the sketch (I got it from Paper Crafts Magazine) and know that I will be using it often.

Enjoy your weekend and I'll be back soon.
