Madison's First Birthday!!!

Hi Everyone!!! Just two more days til we start a whole new year. Praying for everyone to have a blessed one. 

The card I made is for my granddaughter Madison that turns the "Big 1" on the 2nd of January. It seems she just got here, now she will be a year old. Wow where does time go.

December Image

Hi Everyone!!!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!! I survived and yes I had a wonderful Christmas.

The card I made to share is done with an image our secret sister group did for December. I barely got this done it time, but I did it. It's a Nellie Snellen image "Hokey Pokey Fairy". I had so much fun coloring her, she is so cute.
I have the whole week off till after the first of the year, so anyone who needs me I will be playing in my craftroom...lol
Hope you have a great week and a Happy New Year!

"With Thanks"

Hi Everyone!!! We have another challenge for you at The Corrosive Challenge. It's "With Thanks", anything that means thanksgiving to you. Thanksgiving is such a great time of year for me.

Home Sweet Home Corrosive Challenge

My first card as a DT  for The Corrosive Challenge. The challenge for this week is Home Sweet Home, and there is no place like home. This was such a fun card to do. As I dug through some stamps I had for awhile I came across this adorable little house. I knew this was the one I was going to do. The saying around the little house I thought was a bonus.

Close up of the little house. 

If you get a chance please join us in the Corrosive Challenge this week. It will be lot's of fun!!

Anniversary!!

Today me and my husband will have been together eight wonderful years. It's the day we met. We celebrate it as our anniversary..crazy huh. We had decided to get married on this day, but  for some strange reason everytime we planned it..it just got postponed. So my husband surprised me with a trip to Eureka Springs, AR. My MIL, youngest son and my DBIL where there. It was wonderful. We stood on a cliff over looking the town to exchange our vows,  but it never change how we felt about the day to celebrate our Anniversary. So there you have it.   Probably more info than you cared to know. lol.
I'm off to share the day with my DH...Happy Anniversary Honey!!

Wishing everyone a very Blessed Day!!

So Excited !!!!

Hi Everyone!!! I'm so excited right now.  I just got the news that I have been invited to be a member of the DT for the Corrosive Challenge's. I have to admit I'm  pretty nervous, but I know the ladies will be very supportive. Thank you for the chance to do this.
Wanted to share a card I made for my daughter-in-law...her birthday is this month, she is such a sweetie.
Thank you for stopping by...

Butterfly Tilda

Hi everyone!!! I think Spring is finally trying to show it's face around here. Beautiful blue skies today and nice temperatures. I'm so ready for spring.

I played hooky from work today, but only to see if I can work on my washing machine again. I have replaced about everything on it and it stills refuses to spin out. Urrr!! I cannot imagine going to long with out it. 

I decided to play some in the craftroom to calm my nerves. I found some really fun challenges to enter, so I created a little cute Tilda with butterflies. She is so cute and reminds me of spring. 

I used my copics to color her and the smooshing technique (I think thats what is called) to go around her. I hope I did it right. It was fun anyway. It did help calm my nerves and I have decided to take it to the Maytag place and see if they can fix it. Crossing-fingers that it does not cost to much. 

Enough babbling for now...and thank you for stopping by.
