I Love my Mom

I made a special card for my Mom for Mother's Day.
I credit my mother for my love of all things crafty.  My Mom can do just about anything and I have always admired her for that!  No joke- she can do almost everything, and if there happens to be  something that she doesn't know how to do- she takes it as an opportunity to learn something new.
My Mother is a phenomenal seamstress- she is "sew" fabulous!  This is one quality that I never truly appreciated about her when I was young.  I wish I had learned this skill when she tried to teach me years ago.  She has a sewing machine that she wants to give me- so I may use it as an opportunity to learn something new.  :)


I used the Nifty Fifties cartridge for the image and DCWV  "All About Girls" stack for the background paper.

I am submitting this to Getting Kricky With K Andrews Simply Sunday Challenge: Sew Fabulous.

My Kids are Awesome!

Click HERE for the Teacher Appreciation or the Disney Blog Hop!


Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mommies out there.  I hope your day has been fantastic!

My day started this morning with Avery waking me up and serving me breakfast in bed- eggs and toast.  **smile**
After one bite, both girls (and Dad) were on the bed handing me cards and gifts!  I'm so lucky to have such beautiful kids and such a wonderful husband who love me so much!

Here is Avery's card she made.

...and Mackenzie's



We had a great day today.  Hope you all did too!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hi Everyone!!
Welcome to the Teacher Appreciation Blog Hop, hosted by my friend Jen, from Jen's Craft Corner.
I am honored to be among such incredibly talented ladies.  You are in for quite the treat today!!
If you just happened to stop by my blog (Thanks btw!)-  make sure you go back to Jen's site to start from the beginning.  When you leave here- stop by to see everyone along the way!

Teachers are awesome!  Whether you Home School or send your kids to Public or Private school, there is no other profession that I have as much respect for as I do for Teachers.
This is a school year of "Firsts" for my twin girls.  The first year in a new school, the first year of switching classrooms and having different teachers for different subjects, and the first year (for one D) to have a "boy" for a teacher!!
Mackenzie helped with the next one for her teacher!

Look what I've got--- some Blog Candy for one lucky follower!!

In my house- with two 10 year old girls- 
We think of Hannah Montana!!

First Attempt

Hi Everyone!

I tried something new today- Heat Embossing!
It's a little trickier than I thought it would be.  I guess the people who make the tutorial videos for heat embossing make the videos for people like me (clueless at embossing!)

It took me a few times to get it to look decent (I burnt it twice!), but this one turned out pretty good.


Heat embossing is pretty fun.  I can't wait to practice more and get better at it!!

Stop by tomorrow- I'm in 2 different Blog Hops!

Wal-Mart Haul

I had to go to Wal-Mart today and had no intention of going near the craft area- which I didn't.  The reason I didn't go near the craft area was because the entire craft area (or what was left of it) was in the clearance isle!!  Everything was 50-75% off!  
I spent $100.00-- but look what I got!!


I was so excited!!

Speaking of excitement--- my E2 should be here tomorrow!!
Wa-hoo!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
