I'm Taking

a couple of days off from blogging. There is lots going on but no big stuff. See you soon.

Mom's Day

Happy Mom's day to all out there.... My Mom has been gone for 15years plus now but I have several chosen "Moms" at church that mean a lot to me too. I made this easel card for my friend Gini. We share Nursery duties for the "little ones" at church. She liked it... it reminds me of some of our 'little monkeys"we care for each week.

It was fun...

at the Mega Meet. I did get some new items. One of the more interesting finds for me-screwdriver head brads (www.eyeletoutlet.com)-they will be used on some guy cards soon. I did buy another of those great ODBD sets... card to follow this week (plus a bow maker template from them). A few sheets of Bo Bunny papers, and my big splurge... a few Copics. I bought 3 Ciao and 1 Sketch markers. I have been thinking about trying them out and the prices were great so... I did. Here is a photo of our group plus a special papercrafter (Tim Holtz) in midst of a demo... It was fascinating to watch him work in person.

Busy time

Wow... today was a whirlwind... preschool,then Mother's Celebration dinner at church(the guys in our church serve the dinners to the women)! We had a great evening with the Edison choir to entertain us after dinner. Tomorrow is the big Mega Meet event with some of my friends. Off to bed...I'm bushed.

Shop,shop, shop!

I got this cute image from a recent swap. It's from Stampopotomus "Let's go shopping". I made this card to thank my friend who will be driving a group of us to an event on Saturday. It's the big 3 day Papercrafting event called Mega Meet and Tim Holtz will be there for the first time. Although I can't take any classes due to work, there will be many make and takes and lots to see... can you tell I'm a bit excited! I have my trusty index cards organized so I know where I want to visit. There are to be 70 plus booths so there will be lots to see and crowds of others doing the same .

Spring...

Our papercrafting group at church made pages tonight for scrapbooks. Sue cut out the titles for the group on her Cricut along with the birdhouses. We could make any other choices and put the pages together independently. These are my two pages.Photos will be added later.

Shower Time

Some friends of our are having a baby soon. They have decided not to find out whether or not it is a girl or boy, but to wait instead. The shower will include both pink and blue so I thought this would work for my gift enclosure card.That Whiff of Joy mouse is so sweet and who doesn't like a touch of bling?
