You're Tweet - 2 Challenges

Wow, this was a challenge for me!  I wanted to make a card for Throwback Thursday; this time the challenge was to make use the sketch that she had and to make it 'Cricut-less'.  I also wanted to make something for Serenity Scrappers; the challenge they had was to use pastels. :)  So this is what I came up with. :)

Recipe:

• The stamped images were from My Cute Stamps (a set I got a long time ago)
• Ribbon - a WONDERFUL gift!!!!!
• Paper - scraps :)

Well, I hope you like it!  It was hard for me to make, but I love a good challenge!!! :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!! :)

Guest Post on The Purple Scrappbooker

I am so excited!!!!!  Jen at The Purple Scrapbooker let me do a guest post on her blog today.  I'm so excited (yeah, you'll hear me say it several times)!!!! The only thing Jen wanted was something with the color purple.  After some thought I decided on this card. :)

This one was a lot of fun to make.  I have all of the info over on Jen's blog (click here to visit Jen).

Before you run away, I just wanted to share one more thing. :)  Today is my anniversary!!! :)  Six years ago I married this wonderful man!!!! (Isn't he handsome!!!)  I'm so thankful for everything he's done for me (and our little ones) and the great years that we've had (with many more to come)!!!

In celebration of my anniversary and the opportunity to do a guest post on Jen's blog, I'd like to give away a copy of a clean romance novel called 'Catch the Morning Star'.  It was written by Ruth Davidson, who happens to be my wonderful Aunt (love you Ruth)!!!  You can check out more about her books by clicking here.  Her books are beautiful and clean and make your heart smile!  Just leave a comment here telling me about your loves and I'll pick a winner on March 14.

Again, big thanks to Jen!!!!  I'm so happy I got to do a guest post!!!  Thanks so much!!!  

**Don't forget to go check out the directions for the card at Jen's blog, The Purple Scrapbooker!**

To my hubby - Happy Anniversary my LOVE!!!!!

To everyone - Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!!  I'm really glad you did!!! :)

Another Deep Breath and Good News

I promised to show these pictures.  These are a FEW of the cards that I sent my little sister!  She's serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and loves to give cards.  Well, I don't have much to give; but I knew I could help with the cards!  I ended up making around 100 different cards for her.  She should have received them (hehehe - she had no idea they were coming)! :)  It's not the best picture, but you get the idea. :)

I also gave a few similar ones to my Mom, hehehe - she didn't know it was coming either! :)

**The hehehe's can also be read as mwahahahaha (evil scientist laugh); either laugh is appropriate!** :)

After all of that fun stuff I can't tell you how frustrated I am.  I was watching my little girl sing during our Church  Christmas party (so cute).  When I got a text from a friend (thanks again - you know who you are) letting me know I had won some blog candy (YEAH!!!!!!)!  So I got home and got online and find out that I won it from the wonderful and talented HoneyB.  You really have to see her - she is AMAZING (click here for her blog)!!!!!!!  As I start reading through I question why in the world did I not see this a few days before.  I'd been doing better at commenting and reading blogs (I was terrible there for a little - sorry - again working on sisters' cards).  I finally figured out that all of the blogs that I had 'followed' over the weekend were not showing up on my reader list.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I ended up going back through the hops that I participated in and that I had hopped along for the ride so that I could re-follow them.  Has anyone else had that happen?!

So I have to say to those I hopped with and those others that I came to visit - I'm sorry!!  I really thought I was following, it just didn't work for some reason. Ok, I think I'm done (for now). :)

Thanks again my wonderful friend (again-you know who you are *LISA*).  Thanks to HoneyB I am so excited for that cartridge (I REALLY wanted it)!!!!!!!!!! :)  I also want to say a BIG THANKS to my new followers friends!!!!  I'm so glad you stop by, and I'd love to see your work!  Ok, I really think I'm done for now. :)  Thanks for stopping by (and listening to my ramblings)!!! :)
