Cha Ching

Well today is the end of my 3 days off and what can I say.......Whew they flew by. I cleaned up my scrapbooking area ( that was a chore all in it's own ) as well I did make several cards. These are the ones I made today. Lady luck should be with us all. These are fun birthday cards for any player. Enjoy.

Childrens Cards

Today is the start of my 3 days off and first on my list was to make some cards. I chose to work on childrens cards from a new line I bought from the Scrap Bucket. It is Creative Imaginations and I just love this theme. Hope you enjoy them.

 

 

I recieved this from a friend who had it sent to her. Thought I would share it with you.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words: Dear God, Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her. Love, Meredith We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had. Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies'; taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note: Dear Meredith, Abbey arrived safely in heaven.  Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.  I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love. Love, God

I didn't do any scrapbooking ( Yet LOL ) but I did make 2 Beautiful Cards staying with the 50 year birthday. These 2 cards are geared more towards a Man's 50th Birthday.
Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day

Cards

Well I decided to make cards. I have a friends 50th Birthday coming up so this was my motivation. I used the same products making 2 different cards.

Saturday Outing

Well it is Saturday and I was up at 7:30 A.M. Got my boy up and out we went to Michaels with my 40% off coupon and my 15% off bonus coupon on ribbon. There are ALOT of New Embellishments out by All Companys. With such a huge selection I only bought sunflowers with bumble bees and ribbon.
Now I am home and can't decide if I want to make cards or scrapbook. If lifes decisions were this simple LOL.
Have a GREAT Day All
