What do you mean it's July 31st!!

I can not believe that today is the end of July, Was it just me or were we planning a 4th of July picnic the other day?? I can not believe this summer is flying bye. I am off today, a rare thing, so that my wonderful husband could take a class for work. I also need to take my eldest son to his school for Senior pics! Yeah, I thought this would be a wonderful neat cool thing...NOT. He's grrrr, because he needs NOT wear his beloved hat, I am grrr because he refused to shave for a month and he looks like moses, so he tried to clean up and cut his face all up, Like I knew he would!

So, I cut the grass, did the dishes, and fought with my oldest child, sounds about normal huh? lol

so, my ponytail wearing, bearded boy is about to go get his pics taken for his Senior year! YEAH ME! lol

I will have a card to share later today.

The Shack!!

If you have not heard about this book. You will.


This book is written as a fiction, but I believe there is a lot of truth in it. I can tell you that this book will change lives, IF people really listen to what God is saying. I am telling you it's incredible!

The basic story is that this loving mans daughter is murdered, God sends him a not to meet him at the very place she is killed. Does he go? Does he refuse Gods offer to talk?? You'll have to read and find out.

Now I have heard good, and negative, but with every book that has to do with Christianity, you'll have the critics. You need an open mind and heart, and it's a hard read, I cried, I healed and I felt how hard it is to overcome "the great sadness"

I have not gotten over mine yet, wonder if I'll get a letter from God.

A card mistake, that turned out okay!!

This is one of those cards, that you mess up, but turns out okay. Remember in paper crafts, it always easy to fix or turn it into something different!!

This stamp is from su, and was sooo not gonna look like this. My crooked lines made for an interesting shape, don't ya think!! lol

**sorry I did not realize this was so blurry**

Nesties, are in da house!!

Well, I broke down and bought some Nestabilities, I ordered them from The Scrapbook cafe, it's here in Jersey, but about 1.5 hours away, so I ordered them and she mailed them to me. Thanks Angela!

I really love them, I love the look of scalloped edges, and it's just something fun! So, I give them an A++.

This card was done w/ some doggy rak'd images. I don't own any pets, so when I won dog related stamps, lets just say I was not that happy!! But, making lemon with lemonade, I called on my pal Sandy, & asked if she could stamp some dog images for me.Not only did she do that, but also sent me some really pretty dog paper. I'll be sending these to cards to cards for Heroes!! So, it was a win, win situation. I get to stamp, play & have fun, and a soldier gets blessed. What could be better!

Untill next time!!

Blog Review!

Hey Bloggers,

Sorry, I have been MIA, for a few days, I thought I loaded posts for the week! ooPPss. I try to load a weeks worth on Sundays, and I guess I did'nt.

Well, anyway, today I am reviewing GAAL CREATIVE, it's Anne Galls' blog. Talking about talent. She is a photo gal, and card maker! Her photos are STUNNING, I was shocked at the beauty in her pics. Her blog is new and there is not much love being given to her. She deserves it, so please stop bye, and check her out!! Leave a comment letting her know you found her and what you think!! It would make her day.

As for what is going on here! Football, Football, Football....We had our parent meeting this past week, and I opened my mouth and now am in charge of the football teams website!! (I have NOOOOO idea how to do a website) So, that will be a task. Had to get the boys new cleats today 50 bigones, for cleats...why do those feet keep growing. The ones he wanted were out of his size so he went up a size, They should go for 2 seasons!!!!

Wound up getting ds#3, his school shoes too! They were buy one get one 1/2 off so, I thought might as well! Got each boy a new shirt for school too! School shopping is hard work when u have 3 boys! The oldest is pretty much fine with a few t's and new sneaks. He can buy stuff he wants, and most of his clothes fit from year to year. He is a Sr. This year...YIKES!! DS#3 is gonna be very very hard to shop for, he's picky, and a hard size to fit. He needs everything. He fits nothing from even the summer. I went to kmart (of all places) and grabbed some cheap junky shorts & t's just to get him buy. He has grown so much this summer!!!

( make donations to....LOL)

Well, I have a cute card and some fun stuff for tomorrow!! Till then...over & out!

Flower card!!

Hey people, how we all doin' today??





I had two of my bestest buds, down on Saturday to play. This card was presented by Sue. The flowers are so fun to make. It was really easy, you stamp with doodles flower (su) and fold the flowers in. She got the bling, from M's and the pp is also SU. Love the colors.!






I am very lucky to know Sue & Mary. I miss them so much when we don't get together. It's sad they live a bit far. (an hour) and we all work. Sue is a RN in a baby ward, and Mary works for a publisher. (cool paper lady) So, we have to get together when we can! It is always a blessing!
