there seems so much I had to tell you guys
then I found out today
a friend lost her VERY young husband
to a massive heart attack last nite
and all my tidbits disappeared
my heart is aching for her
I made a card & sent it out to her first thing
I met this friend in the craft world and so it seems fitting
that makin that card this morning was my therapy
how I dealt with the loss of her husband
how I grasp the importance of all those I love
how I show her how much this impacts me
how I offer my support
I hope my card gets there fast
love to you K
huge hugs my girl

xmas cards
I have been thinkin long & hard this year about my Christmas cards
so I went with the post card theme
usually I do funny pics of the boys with cute sayings & call it done
but this year Doug says "Let's do somethin different"
firstly you are all thinkin "what does Doug have to do with the cards?"
yep also my first thought...then I thought well maybe he should do them...that'd be different
LOL
but then I woke up & realized if anyone wants a Christmas card this year
I loved this stamp from Tim Holtz as soon as I saw it
so I went with the post card theme
with a wish of peace to all
I just haven't took it yet :)))
thanks for comin by

Doug took the boys to our close neighbours

we shopped
the perfect day :)
thanks for comin by
btw: note the lollipop flowers idea came from my trip to etown
I helped my girl tammy finish off her flowers for a swap she was in
and they were very similar to these, made from transperencies, heat embossed with white embossing powder to let them crinkle up...thanks T

anyone for anya
well I made these this morning...so I won't miss this challenge!
It was great cause I wanted to make Ms.W Zack's teacher something special for halloween
I have been workin too much
the boys have been super busy with all the stuff for school & sports
and I have been spendin every nite at the shop helpin Doug & Clay get set up
so I have had no time for crafts...the upside is I cranked two cards & a bar out this morning in less than 2 hours...pent up craftin frustrations I guess...lol...see ya soon
