Well, such is life . . .

It's been a tough week.  I received a call on Tuesday from my boss with some upsetting news.  Upper management had made a decision that they will no longer have any employees working from home (which is me).  What can I say - when it rains, it pours!!!  Very upsetting news!  Thank heaven my Hubby is the bread winner, but this means that we're going to be cutting down on our extra spending.  **Translation - Celeste doesn't get any new carts for a while!!!!!**  :(

I can't be too upset, I thought it would happen eventually I just hoped I would have more time.  It is hard for me to accept, and my boss had a hard time too.  I have been her assistant for the last 5 plus years.  We work AMAZINGLY together!  She is one of my best friends!!!  I wanted to give her a card to thank her for being such a great boss, but more importantly, my friend!  She's one of those people that touches your heart and soul!! 

This card was made from some paper I got at a local paper/envelope store and scraps.  The word 'friends' is from Gypsy Wanderings and the flower and dragonfly is from Home Decor. 

Mom and Dad's Anniversary

My parents' anniversary is at the end of the month.  I'm so glad to have such wonderful parents!!!!!!  This is a card I made for them, hopefully they don't watch my blog too often.  It's made from my new Home Decor cartridge (LOVE IT!!!!!), I hope you enjoy. :)

I wanted to take a close-up picture of the heart.  I LOVE IT!!!!  I think it turned out perfect!  Well - perfect enough.
