Tammy's girls

my good friend Tammy

who lives in etown

asked if I could make her some girls :)

oh my I think that is one of THE biggest compliments ever

to have a crafty friend ask for one of my creations

it makes me feel important

and kinda freaked out a little too

not that all my frames aren't made to the best of my ability

but when a crafty person asks the pressure is sure on

and to top it off

Tammy is such a special girl

I have felt like I have been friends with her forever

I look forward to her creations,

I value her friendship,

she gives me so many gifts,

I would trust her with my boys

and I have never met her in person

now doesn't that say it all!!!




Tammy I hope you like your girls

so much of my love went into them!

hugs my girl XO

just because Magnolia Challenge

I did this for the Just Magnolia challenge blog animals & bugs :)

very cute challenge

I love this studio G just because saying

and combined it with some ladybugs

& of course a Magnolia stamp :)

thanks for lookin

We are off to the lake for the weekend

hope everyone gets nothing but sunshine & good times

see ya soon

beautiful in bling

these pictures are actually the boys reflections

in Doug's new bling 20" wheels for the hotrod

I was takin some shots of the progress

and just happened to see Nick's reflection

that was it I HAD to have the boys pose for me

I love how they turned out but I wanted

to be able to see the boys & the reflection

in the layout, I came up with a solution

I put the 5x7 pics into card sleeves

and used the adhesive on the sleeves to glue them in

so I could flip the pictures and hide the journaling in behind

I love how it turned out

clean

very blingy

just like I wanted it

thanks so much for looking

I am working evenings all week

so not sure if there will be any crafty time

but hopefully

see ya soon

my friends

my gurl Cindy sent me this AWESOME award...my first
I pass it on to all of you sweet girls who visit me
who leave me words of encouragement, enabling & support
I could not...well...would not be doing this without you
for all you girls from CS&C I miss you & your lives immensely
but as that door closed...this one opened
I am SO grateful for many of the lifelong friends I made there
that site was the building block of THIS
cause I sure couldn't have thought about my own blog 2 years ago
I have come to meet some other truly amazing girls here
blogland is rich with beauty!!!

I pass this award onto all of you anonymous commenters first...cause so many of you are my friends here in winnipeg & I thank you for taking the time to leave comments...I know it is hard for you but I appreciate it so much!

To my bloggurls...as I make things I think of many of you so often
"oh Trish would die for this skull monkey" or Tammy for these butterflies :)
I say ooohhh black & white is Cindy's fav...she's gonna love this card fer sure (back at you my friend)
or I know this design & coloring is inspired by the beautiful work & spirit of my hero Kim or by the encouraging words of crafting greats like Rach
I think often of the girls with awesome work & a ton of heart like Steph and Noel
and girls I can only strive to be like Betsy, Lauren, Kelli, and Vikki
and to my awesome girlfriends Em, Lisa, Molly, K, Steph, Angie, Sam, and Chris
you girls are all tagged...I am sure you all don't visit me...but I visit you :)
If you do see these friends awards...know I cherish you & pass it on to your friends who inspire you :)
man that took a real long time for this pathetic 2 finger typer to get through!
hope I got everyone's links right but if not you can find all these girls on my blogroll
If you do not know them...get to...they are fanflippintastic peeps :)

wish

miss you Anya

I between puttin some new stuff in my etsy shop

I made this card

I am not sure but I just thought Anya seemed sad last nite :(

miss you was the sentiment I choose

no reason really

maybe cause the house was SO quiet

both the boys were asleep

and Doug caught Zack's flu

so I was givin him tylenol & coolin his cloth

but in between that I was makin this card

I think she looks so pretty

but sad indeed

thanks for lookin

see ya soon

happy mom's day all!

the boys woke me up this morning with huge smiles, I love you's & Zacky sung happy birthday to mom...LOL...yes it was so sweet. I got a few crafty presents from my favorite store...dollarama...handpicked by my boys :) and zack brought home a pink spoon dipped in chocolate & the cutest bookmark with a picture of him, a signature & an awesomely colored MOTHER on the front :) Nick brought me a sweet jewlery box he painted and a very elegant beaded bracelet he strung himself...I am wearing it until it falls off :) I LOVE it but more importantly I loved there obvious joy in giving me the gifts...their pride was evident...their love too...so perfect!!!
we were up extremely early to have breakfast with my mom & sisters before our married lives take over for the day. It was so nice to hug all my sisters, to visit with them over breakfast & just enjoy their company :)
Then we went to my motherinlaws and it was our first sunny, nice day...the kids went off to play with Brooke, my inlaws neighbors 12 year old, she loves the boys and is a goddess in their eyes...so while they played, the adults had champaine & OJ in the front yard in THE fanciest longstem glasses...OMG it was just fantastic...I felt like a princess & we just had so much fun. An unplanned day can just be THE best day ever. Doug had planned to go in the garage & work but my sister came by...we went shoppin...then my inlaws neighbors came over to ensure we came back to my inlaws for a BBQ. So after my sister & I got home, the boys & I picked up steaks & garlic bread & headed over for a huge BBQ. It was just awesome to spend time visitin & laughin & havin an awesome time :) All my boys, Doug included, are asleep now, it's like 8pm lol...too funny...but I could not be more proud of them...or love them more :)
happy mom's day ladies...we all know we deserve it...hope you too had a killer day
