Thank You

I can't say thank you enough for all of the love, kindness and expressions shown to me during what has been some really dark hours. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart, I am feeling better but this season continues to be heart wrenching. I spent this weekend trying to get some play time in and I have managed to complete a few projects. Today I'm sharing a project from the Summertime and the Scrappin' is Easy workshop challenge that I participated in over the summer. I am committed to finishing the workshop challenges even though the event is now over. Today's library pocket card was from day 30 of the workshop, I am now completing the projects in random order. I am also sharing this card for the weekly blog challenges over at Scraps of Color. The challenge for week 37 is called Die Cutter's Delight. This week's blog challenge is to pull out our die-cutting machines and make a project using them. I used my cameo to cut the library pocket card using a file from the silhouette store. The paper used is from a Kathy Davis Happiness stack that I picked up on clearance from JoAnn's. The embellishments are from Recollections and the stamp Studio G. Wishing you and yours a great week!

Wednesday Wanderings

It's Wednesday and our nation is pausing to remember the life changing events that took place on September 11, 2001.  Prayers for peace as our nation continues to heal.  Today is also the 75th birthday of my father-in-law.  I haven't had the energy to craft but I got up this morning and put together one of my 'signature simple cards' so that my daughter would have one to give to him tonight. I did manage to complete another project in the wee hours of the morning but I did't have a chance to take  a picture of it.  I will be making a trip to the store today to purchase a card from DH and I, it has taken everything that I have to do the simpliest of things  All card components are from my stash.  Wishing you and yours a great day.

First Day of School

First day of school today, look at our 7th grade tween.  She was tired of taking pictures and didn't want to cooperate by the time I  took this picture with my cell phone as we were getting in the car. She woke up early this morning but we still didn't make our target departure time so we'll be working on fine tuning our morning ritual.  I sure hope it doesn't rain today so that that "school do" will last!

Labor Day

Hello Monday and Happy Labor Day!  Just wanted to share a post thanking everyone for their kind words and expression.    You have warmed my heart; the  road won't be easy but it will be come easier as time passes.  Not too much going on today, I  wanted to craft but I can't seem to focus.

Celebrations

Today as my husband celebrates the day of his birth we will be celebrating the life of my beloved oldest sister.   She was 54 years young,  Fay passed on Tuesday.  I still can't believe it but I am standing on grace; it hurts so bad but I've got to keep pressing on.  She fought a good fight but it just wasn't meant to be!  This is one of the last pictures that me and my sisters took together.

Thinking of You

I'm sending well wishes for a great day to all those that will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the cvil rights march in Washington today.  There will be lots of people so I pray for peace and the safety for all those that will be in attendance.  The weather should be good after all of the rain yesterday.

Today I am sharing another card that I made for one of the challenges of the Summertime and the Scrappin' is Easy workshop.  The challenge was to use a person, mist and some bling.  I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture but I did mist the card base.  The little girl with the heart is one that comes loaded on the silhouette, the stamp is an old one from the Michael's $1 bin and the bling Recollections.   Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Back 2 School

Summer vacation is almost over for my daughter and she'll be heading back to school after Labor Day.  I'm back at work today after being off to take care of my daughter who had an outpatient medical procedure earlier this week; my MIL will be taking  care of her until she goes back to school.  My sister is doing better and should be out of ICU tomorrow; my heart is a little less heavy!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made using inspiration from sketch #186 from Operation Write Home.  I am also sharing this card for week 33 blog challenge over at Scraps of Color and the monthly challenge over at Mema's Crafts .  When making this card I used paper scraps, bling, a CTMH stamp and a foam sticker star  all from my stash.

Thank your for  stopping by, wishing you a great day.
