It was the hubby’s birthday today. He woke me out of a deep sleep this morning to say goodbye since he was on his way to work extra early. At that point he said in a not-too-obscure hint: “Happy birthday”, which confused me for a minute. Why was he saying that? Wasn’t it my birthday just a month or so ago? LOL!Sigh. I get so busy when school is in session. It consumes. Sooooo, while hubby was at work today, getting spoiled with home-baked cake and balloons (his colleagues are so sweet!), I went What a Day!
This is more of a personal post about a great birthday today. Facebook let my friends know so I had a lot of birthday greetings. Which I like. My husband made it great too. I don’t have high expectations because I have a birthday after all of the partying has past and I feel like I want things to be mellow. Warning: some sappiness ahead.

It has been a year. 365 days have come and gone with a trail of tears left behind. It has not been effortless or uncomplicated.

This was HARD! The Colour Challenge on SCS was to use Garden Green, Brilliant Blue and Pumpkin Pie - not too easy. All I kept coming up with were little boy birthday cards so I had to stray a bit and find outside inspiration. That is when I looked to the Mojo Monday blog for their weekly sketch.The card base is Brilliant Blue and it is layered with white cardstock on which I stamped the oranges and apples from One Smart Cookie. The layer backing the white layer is Summer Picnic DSP.The central pKristina's color inspiration
Hi again! wow, it seems like forever since I last posted on here. I've really been enjoying my new year, it's been full of so many wonderful surprises already and we've just begun! I haven't made anything crafty in an awful long time. It seems like every time I sit at my scrappy desk something comes up. So today I made it a goal to get something creative done and once again Kristina's challenge was there to help me. As soon as I saw the colors she picked this time around I was racking my brain coffee, tea--cards x3

Have you ever heard that expression when you really expected something to never, ever, in a million years happen? This morning Dave surprised me with new COACH jewelry (matching earrings and a bracelet), and I felt super spoiled. When I got to work, I had an e-mail from him with a picture of some flowers also wishing me a Happy Birthday. I didn’t think anything of it because he has done that in the past. He always gives me amazing, awesome, wonderful, thoughtful gifts. Always. Flowers are justDang
I’ve been avoiding writing about myself today. I am bummed out. I shoveled my little sidewalk and walked to the office yesterday and got CRUSHING chest pain. I’ve never had it like that before Today I picked up dog poop, got my mail, did my laundry and made breakfast and lunch. Each thing has caused incredible shortness of breath and chest pain. I am not amused. I did not have these problems to this extent BEFORE the hospital. I certainly didn’t feel good when in there, but sure not this weakBirthday Monsters
Hi! First, I want to thank you all for your comments the last few days, I really appreciate them:)This card is for 2 challenges, SCS sketch and the Way to Use It (incorporate stars into the design).I remembered that this too stinkin' cute set from October Afternoon called Night Light has a little star stamp, ohhh. My nephew's birthday is in a few week's and I thought the monsters would be perfect for him. For the background dp and the monster on the right I used paper we just got in stock from OBirthday Blast

The stamps are Lily and Billy from Pink Cat studios and the paper is My Mind's Eye Laundry Line and is all sparkly and oh so pretty! I notice that I took this picture before I added liquid applique to Lily's coat - it's really pretty with the puffy fringe (you'll have to take my word for it!).I'll be back tomorrow with my hubby's birthdaPandora’s Post Box
In keeping with my current view of things namely, no news is good news, I haven’t collected my post since about middle of June last year. I don’t lose much sleep over it either since the majority of it’s bad news, bills and bitching letters about previous bills anyway…you see I have cleverly devised a system where bad news goes to my post box and good news comes to my inbox. Bravo me! However, I finally had to crack and go empty it. Somewhere between those sinister envelopes lies the renewal noCool websites

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, the blog's hungry, and everything's been scuppered by the struggle to finish fine-toothed-combing the proofs for the US edition of A Secret Alchemy.

Yesterday, my good buddy and fellow Elvis fan Lori Craig (aka stamp_momma) gave me a ringy-dingy and asked me if I had big bloggy plans today. Um, no... why? 'Because it's Elvis's birthday, and we need to celebrate!' she replied. I have to admit, I'm very ashamed that great idea didn't occur to me first! E, I apologize. But thanks to Lori, I've got a little somethin'-somethin' for your viewing pleasure in honor of the King. Please tell me that is the loudest, tackiest card you've seen in |
