RAK's

Hi everyone,

I have a couple of RAK's to share with you today.



When I opened this package from Allison, I had to give a whoop, whoop & laughed out loud! I had commented on her blog that this was perfect for me cause it already had my initial on it & low & behold she told me later that when she read my comment she thought I had ESP or her cover was blown! She had made this one for me, insert laugh here!!! :o) It's gorgeous Allison, & the card is sooooo beautiful I luv it, thank you so very much! You need to stop by her blog, she is one funny lady & very creative, so run along & take a peek you won't be sorry & you will go back for more!




This adorable card & candy bar holder came from Deanna I luv the colors & this DP is so beautiful in real life! The candy bar did not stay in the holder for very long, as soon as I saw it I ate it right away & boy was it delicious! That's the chocoholic in me, who can pass that up? Certainly not me! Go on & hop over to her blog she has a lot of great ideas & does a wonderful job creating! Thank you so much Deanna!

Well until later have a great day & thanks for stopping by!

BB Q DAD

Hi Ladies!

Hope you had a wonderful day today. I had a few things to do for me today, like get my hair colored & go to the get zapped by my electrologist...always a fun thing to do, yes? She's always very gentle that's why I luv her so much! I'm just so glad that I only have to see her once a year now for a clean up, us dark haired girls really have it tough! I think we have more hair than an ape, hahaha!!!

Had a great lunch with my son & then I decided to go shopping, bought a few things at Michael's & AC Moore & then went to a department store & boy did they have a great sale going on, lots of things were buy 1 get 1 free!!! Yep, I had a ball trying on a lot of clothes mainly tops that I needed. I ended up buying 6 tops & a jacket for $106. that averaged to about $15. a piece...what a bargain! I stopped by there again today after getting my hair done & bought 2 more...couldn't resist, hehehe!!!

Here is another card that I made for father's day & my son ended up picking the card that I thought he would...the lifeguard cat! I really know my son hah? My husband Dan like most men enjoys cooking on the grill, so I think this will be my card to him. I'm very lucky, he loves to cook & has been cooking now for about 23 of our 36 years together. He does the cooking & the grocery shopping, I know I'm a spoiled brat & I know it, but who am I to complain! He just drives me nuts cause he's always trying to feed me all the time.

Well till tomorrow ladies, have a great evening & thanks for stopping by today.

With Daddy's Help!

Good morning Ladies!

What a gorgeous day! Hope its nice & sunny where you live! Today's post will be short & sweet, I need to get ready to meet my son for lunch! My Mother's Day lunch with my son finally, he's been so busy that he just hasn't had the time till today! It's always nice to get together with him & just talk, he has a fantastic interesting job so I'll get to hear more of how modern medical technology has come a long way! But with that great job comes way too many hours of work each week, but you have to sacrifice to make your way & get ahead & in the long run it will be worth it in the future.

Here is the card that I made for Jessica to give her dad for Father's day, I know that Dan will luv this card! Jessica is the sentimental one & this image had a special meaning to her. She remembers dad trying to teach her to ride her bike & wanting to take the training wheels off but being afraid. He took the wheels off but had to put them back on because she was still afraid until the day she said that she really was ready this time. It took a little time & a few tries but when she finally did it she was so proud & so was daddy!

Well that's all for today, have a great day & thanks for popping in & visiting!

Kool Cat - My Life Guard

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I made a few cards this weekend so that I could put everything away & concentrate on making that engagement scrapbook for my daughter. No I haven't done any cleaning this weekend, I know I'm a bad girl! I only have 1 room done & I'll probably beat myself up a bit later, 'cause I know I'm going to go nuts at the last minute but really need to watch how much I do so that I don't hurt my back, so I'm doing a little at a time. I think my plan will be do some cleaning & then go into my stamp room & work on the scrapbook a little, I think that will work out for me. Then I need to make cards for my daughter to give to wedding party & also make a few things for the rehearsal dinner! Jessica & I also have a project we need to work on together for gifts, I don't think that will take too long but ya never know & we really need to get started on it sweetie so it gets here on time! Only 6 weeks to go...wow, it sure did come fast!!!

Well anyhoo, here is a card I made this weekend. I thought this cool looking life guard cat dude was so cute & would make a nice card for fathers day. I made a few cards for my son to pick from to give to his dad, Marc likes to give funny cards so I thought this would fit the bill. I also have a few others for him, but I think he's going to choose this one! Jessica already has hers & she picked a Gina K. design stamp, (she's the sentimental one) that I will post tomorrow! Talk to you again soon. Thanks for dropping by today, have a great day!
