It's All About The Journey

My Card From the Paper Pumpkin

I would have loved to have had an Easter card to share since it is Easter Sunday. Unfortunately I was not able to make any Easter cards this year because sometimes life just gets in the way. But I did make a card usingthis months Paper Pumpkin supplies that I recieved a few weeks ago. The neat thing is that you can use just what is in the box or use other embellishments,punches or stamps to dresss up your card a little more. I decided to dress my card up just a little bit. And the time that I spent was perhaps an extra 12-15 minutes.

 

I used the new A Round Array stamp set and the new matching punch that goes with the set. I also used the  stamp set That's The Ticket and the Ticket punch. I used the tiny heart punch, used Melon Mambo card-stock and a tiny pearl to the heart.

I wish that I had an Easter photo to share with you but since I have not colored eggs or made any Easter projects this year I will just have to share a photo of Grace, not an Easter photo but one that I took in March and her dress certainly looks like an Easter dress. :) I hope to see her soon because she is growing so fast and I sure do miss her.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful and very blessed Easter day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay warm, stay safe and SMILE BIG! :)

 

A Get Well Card

Ciao! I made a get well card today using the My Digital Studio. I was editing photos from a photo shoot  that Wayne and I did last weekend. Anyway, I decided to take a break from that and make a card for this weeks PPA challenge. While I was making this card I realized that I have not made a get well card in a very long time.  It would be nice to have a few on hand because you never know when someone just might need a card to cheer them up.

I put my order in today. I have a smash book from another company but I love the colors that this one has to offer. I have decided that I will be making my smash book about Wayne and I. :) No big surprise right?

Lastly, I have 2 photos of little gracey. I took them when I was baby sitting her about 4 weeks ago. I took about 90 photos of her playing together. But I promise to only share 2 of them with you.

This is Grace holding my cell phone behind her back. A tad funny that she seems to think I can not get my phone away from her. Ha-ha. She is such a hoot. Oh and by the way, we had a police officer visit us that afternoon. I went to the door and asked him what I could do for him. He began asking me if I was okay and if the baby was okay. I was holding Grace while talking to him. I told him that "yes we are both fine why do you ask?" He said well mam, someone called 911. I looked at him in shock and explained to him that no one called from my home that it was just me and Grace. He then asked me if she knew how to dial 911. OMG! My little Gracey all of 1 years called 911 on my phone. Thankfully, the police officer had a sense of humor. Hence, the photo of Grace trying to hide my phone from me.

Here we are playing peek a boo. We played all day witht he exception of her taking a 90 minute nap and when I fed her lunch and a snack. This is the very day that Grace walked all by herslf. Her Mom  was back at my home when Grace took her steps. So we were both able to see Grace take her very first steps. Okay, enough about my sweet baby Grace.

I hope that all of you are enjoying spring. We still have snow on the ground and it is suppose to be 40 degrees tomorrow. I'll take it. :)

Stay warm, stay safe and SMILE. :)

My Birthday

 

What a great birthday I had this year. I thought I would share a little bit about it. That means I'm going to try and do it with less words and more photos.  I know.......good luck with that. :)

But first.........

The Paper Pumpkin arrived at my house today, despite the very heavy snowfall. I am so excited to make some cards. It looks like it is going to be lots of fun.Click on this and all photos to see them larger.

Due to the storm that hit us today (my birthday) Wayne took me out last night so that we could celebrate it. What a guy right?

 We went to the Rockingham Mall in NH. Love that mall. I went to Sephora and bought more facial items like Hope in A Jar and  the Miracle made by Philosophy. I aslo picked up a tube of Boscia Bright white mask. I swear by all 3 of these products............and a few others. We then wet to Bare Minerals and I bought 2 compacts of eye shadows and 2 new brushes. I love thier makeup and thier skin care. Buying skin care for my birthday is so different fom what I would have purchased on my prior birthdays. Just goes to show you how I think as I am aging. :)

A quick trip to Pandora where Wayne bought a new bead for my bracelet. And lastly, Bon Jovi's newest CD. The green card holds a gift card from my son Jeremy. He came to visit me before Wayne and I headed out for the afternoon and night. Before coming home we went out to dinner. I had a wonderful birthday thanks to Wayne and my son.

When I woke up this morning we had lots of snow. And by the time Wayne went out to snow blow the snow was at least 6 inches high, very heavy and wet.

 

I know his head is cut off in this photo, I did it on purpose. I'm trying to be a bit more creative with photos of Wayne snow blowing. How am I doing? :)

And this is what the back of our yard looked early this afternoon. Poor Wayne has to go back out tomorrow morning and snow blow again. For so many reasons this is a birthday that I will not forget.

Stay safe, stay warm and SMILE. :)

Thank you for stopping by to see me, I truly appreciate it.
