Bon Appetit!

Good mornin' peeps!

This is the card I made for my niece's bridal shower. I'm putting a basket together with breakfast items, pancakes, syrup, muffins, jams etc. with shrink wrap & placing this card with ribbon on the gift that I will put together when I arrive in San Diego. I shipped it out a few weeks ago so I wouldn't have to carry it on the plane. I'll see if I can take a picture of it after I wrap it. I luv how this came out.

I have so much to do to get ready for my trip, right now I'm doing some laundry & I hope to get to the closets & get out the bins with our summer clothes so I can figure out what I'm going to bring. So much to do so little time. Gotta go! Have a great day!

A Penny for your Thoughts...

Good morning all,

Hope you had a great Easter, mine was fabulous! Any time I get to spend with my kids is always a joy! I get to see them again Saturday for my birthday celebration, their taking me to Boston for some fun activities!!! I can't wait...wow 2 weeks in a row to spend time with the kids that's a gift I always treasure!

Anyway, onto my card. Jessica's best friend Sarah is having a baby in August & I wanted to send her & Troy a congratulations card. I saw these Whiff of Joy images last year & just had to get them along with the wedding images I bought, hehehe...I was thinking ahead! I also have the one with Willow holding her baby & will probably use that one after Sarah brings her newborn home. These images are so precious, I love them! I look at this image & wonder what is she thinking? Is she thinking about what kind of mother she will be or if her baby will be healthy or smart? Didn't we all go through the same thing when we were pregnant, so many thoughts go through our minds. What do you think she is thinking of as she sits on the swing?

It's a beautiful day here in New England, right now hubby is working in the yard for awhile & then we are going to go & enjoy this fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Look what I did today!!!

Hello peeps!

Well I had to clean house today to get ready for our Brunch with the kids, yep you heard me right, I said Brunch not Dinner. Marc & Sarah are having dinner at Sarah's brother's house so that's why we're doing Brunch for Easter. It's a change of pace & who knows...we may do it again, we'll see how it turns out. Anyway I decide to alter my laptop with Decor Elements today, I just couldn't wait any longer...so keep your fingers crossed for me that this laptop will be A-OK! You know my history with Dell so hopefully the Toshiba will be my Best Friend Forever!!! Hehehe!!! So far so good, it works like a charm, "Knock On Wood" me knocking...can ya hear me? So I took two pictures to show you my "Oh so Pretty" laptop....I LOVE it!!! I put the flowers the same way as in the catalog this time because the Toshiba name is nice & flat & the stems can go right over the name with no problem. I like it better this way.

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter! Thanks for stopping by today!

RAK from Jen

Hi peeps!

Look what came in the mail last week. I was totally surprised by this thank you RAK from Jen...OMGosh! Jen I luv it, you put a big smile on my face when I needed it most. I was feeling down about turning 60 next week & you gave me the boost I needed, thank you so much my friend! Go on over to Jen's blog & see how creative she is...I promise you won't be disappointed.

OMG I am so excited...I just found out that Teri & Linda are going to be in Vegas at the same time I am & we're hoping to get together while we're there. I'll make sure we take some pictures. I can't wait to meet them!

Well that's it for today, have a great day. I want to wish all of you a Happy Easter! Thanks for dropping by!


From Jen I luv the googly eyes on the strawberries! Thanks so much Jen, I love those stamped images & can't wait to play but that will have to wait till I get back from vacation.

Wedding Card

I'm soooo excited, I just love how this card turned out...it's so pretty! I wanted to try out my flower soft & this was the perfect card for it...what do you think???
I've made this card before for my son's wedding but I didn't have the flower soft & I think it added just that extra bit of WOW factor to this already beautiful image.
Hope you like it as much as I do, the picture just doesn't do it justice.

By the way I found a video of that stamp store in Vegas if you want to see it click HERE...isn't it Awesome? I can't wait to go see it. Whenever your in Vegas go take a look.

Well that's it for today folks. Have a good one!
