Your the Best....SMILE

Awww, Sunday, a day to rest and reflect on the week past and ahead.  It was a busy week making many telephone calls trying to get things settled for our deceased cousin, sending letters, taking care of routine house duties and special visits with my mom.  I know I am blessed to be able to visit with my mom and help her as much as I can.  She is a special lady and always brings a smile to my face.  It is nice to hear her voice brighten when she knows it's me on the phone or paying her a visit.  When making the following cards I was thinking of her.  Next week I get to visit with her and brighten our spirits.  We are blessed with each other. 

All About Love

I fell in love with "The Cats Pajamas, Clearly Swanky Stamps."  They are easy to color and the images are perfect stamped on card stock paper.  The cute little penguin on the card below is just one example of their cuteness.  My sons and daughter-in-law surprised me with a Spellbinder Grand Caliber that embosses and cuts designs out of paper.  What a great Christmas present, of course I love it and them!  Since this is a post about love I can't leave my wonderful hubby out of it.  He is absolutely my soul mate and best friend.   I have been blessed with a wonderful family (including my in-laws) and many awesome friends.  This card is for all of you. . . .

Chili Monday

Made chili for tonight's dinner to help take the chill out of the weather.  We finally have winter conditions and school delays and closings.  Went from the 50's to 30's in less than a day!  Gotta love how Michigan weather changes quickly!!  One card completed and hoping to get more done tonight.

Eary January

Traveled to Texas and started a new adventure.  Met wonderful people who helped us sort through documents and artwork.  Below is the card I made to thank them for their help and generosity while exploring and discovering.
