Be Back Later!

I'm currently trying to finish up cards/prizes for a swap on Saturday. Just like me to wait until the last final minutes to prepare.

I'll try and get a post with pictures up on Sunday. So be sure to check back in.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

New Stuff

I hope all of you have had a great Friday and are looking forward to the weekend! I know I am!

Cody is home and it's great to have him back. I'm so proud of all of the hard work those guys and ladies did to help those who were affected by the tornadoes. I love our military men and women!
Here is the bowl of comments for the blog candy. I had wanted to post it when I posted the winner, but was unable to. So here it is. LOL!
Congratulations again Cheryl! =)



This is a great gift idea and it's super simple. I'm sure most of you have seen or tried the stamping on a candle. So here is mine using Everyday Blessings.

Don't forget to leave a comment on BLOG CANDY!! =)

Whew..was last night's party crazy or what? I'm glad that I was able to talk and meet so many of you.

First, let me say thank you! I don't think I can say it enough. I never thought that when I won the Papertrey Apprentice that it would have this kind of effect. I knew that the set was something that I would love, but had no idea just how many were wanting it too. I'm so blessed that I was able to get to work with Nichole and that she allowed me to create "Everyday Blessings". She took the simple verses and my suggestions for a cross and made something incredibly beautiful and somehow it was EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you Nichole!

Thank you to each and every one of you who has left a comment letting me know how much this set means to you. I have read each one and I've even printed them out to keep. It has truly made me so happy. My mom always told me and my sister that we needed to have our own life adventure. And even though, I didn't have to travel very far, I have had my adventure and I'm glad I got to share it with you!

Keep checking back here over the weekend. I'll be posting more things up using "Everyday Blessings".

What a Blessing!

Today has been a wonderful day thanks to all of you!

I want to thank everyone who has left a comment either here or on Nichole's blog about "Everyday Blessings". I have read each one and it has made my day.

It's so great to know so many of you were wanting this set before it was even made. I will never know how many people this set will touch, but just knowing that it may touch lives is the greatest gift that I will receive. My hope is that you will be blessed by having this set and then pass on the blessing to another.

Here is another card using "Everyday Blessings."

Just a couple of days and you'll be able to see the whole set. I'm so excited for you to see it!

Everyday Blessings!

Go and check out Nichole's blog.

She's put up a sneak peek of the stamp set I helped to create!

Please let me know what you think!

No card tonight.
I've got some made, I just haven't photographed them yet.

Now for a little personal info...
A couple of days ago, a strong storm front moved through here. It created many tornadoes that tore though several counties. Unfortunately, there were many deaths.

My husband is in the Army National Guard and his unit is getting ready to go and help with the clean up. Please keep all of them in your thoughts and prayers. I am so proud of him and the hundreds of others who have donated items or are volunteering their time. It makes me proud to live in the Volunteer State!

Please say a prayer for all of those families who have lost a loved one or lost their homes from these terrible tornadoes. Life can change so fast.

Good Night!

Don't the leaves from the PTI's set- Beautiful Blooms match this paper to a T!
I knew as soon as I saw this paper that I wanted to create a card using the leaves from the set.
The small green piece is the reverse side of the AC paper.
And I am using this kind of American Crafts ribbon on everything! It just seems to match! ;)
