Hi ladies! It has been awhile since I lasted posted anything. Sorry about that but I have been very busy. I know, I know, I say that a lot but it's the truth. I honestly do not know how so many of you can post a card every day. I used to but by designing and blogging my cards every day I fell behind doing so many things around my home and I was not able to keep up with my family and friends. Not cool. Sharon of Nasty Wench's All Things Crafty is having a card contest. Just go here for more information. If you want to enter a Mother's Day card you have until May 1st. :) Here is the card that I am submitting.
Stamps:
Mother and Child by Magenta. Sentiment from River City. I purchased both stamps from Stamping Memories.
Card-Stock:
Bazzill (rose color) Stampin'UP! Always Artichoke and Whisper White. Designer paper is from the Tea and Silk Collection "Nijo" from Prima Marketing. I purchased it from Stamping Memories.
Versafine Vintage Sepia.
Accessories:
Cloth lace from Wrights. Dazzling diamonds from SU. Butterflies punched from the new Martha Stewart butterflies punch.
The butterflies look so much prettier in person.
I have been doing the same things that I have been doing for the past few weeks. I walk each day except for yesterday and today because it has been raining. More rain for tomorrow too. :( I have been working around the house, cooking, laundry.........you know the drill. I have been trying to catch up with friends and trying to stay caught up with my family. So far so good. My photography class is going very well. The only thing I seem to keep messing up on are my assignments. Other then hat I am learning a lot. I had no idea there was so much to learn about taking pictures.
Are any of you going to the Creating Keepsakes scrapbook convention in Manchester, NH? I think it is on May 16th and 17th As it stands right now I will be there. Wayne will be taking me so I would be going on Saturday. I sure hope that I will see some of you there. :)
I hope that all of you are doing fantastic. I sure hope that your having the wonderful sunshine that we had all of last week. Smile. :)
Your card is so beautiful. Peaceful even.

Very Pretty Mary. I hate this time of year because it just makes me miss my mom all the more. This year is 13 years that she has left us. My sisters and I call ourselves orphans.
I use to make her a card and include it in the bouquet that I would bring to the cemetery, but I stopped doing it because someone would steal the flowers right off her grave. Isn't that so awful! Now I plant something in my garden in her memory instead and I call this Mothers Garden.
Keep up the good walking. It must make you feel so much better.
Tootles,
Gail
