Hello Stamper,

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY DARLING HUSBAND!!

I am so happy to say that we have been married for 16 years. It has been long and tough, however through God's grace we have come a long way and are BEST of friends. So with that said remember to tell your special someone that you Love Them. Now on to the fun stuff...

You know I told you that I would be back this evening with the projects and invites for my daughters birthday party, however my day has not gone quite as planned. So I just wanted to say Hello and that I hope all of you have a GREAT Day! and I will be back tomorrow to post my goodies and I will have an extra card to show you. So until tomorrow, Smile and stamp/create something for yourself.

Happy Stampin,

Blessings,

Michele

Hello Stampers,

Sorry it has been so long. I am not sure what I have been doing---just staying busy I guess!

I have made some things to show you today. Here are the cards I made for 2 swaps that I am doing.

Here are the three different colors that I used. At the end of the blog you will see each individual card. Hope you like them. I will include the recipe under each individual card.
My daughter's birthday is on Friday, she will be the big "13"! I made her invitations, thank you cards and a sample of one of the party favors. She is so excited!

So I will be back on Thursday to show you all the birthday items. Thursday is house cleaning day for the party, so it will be later in the day. Hope to see you then.

Happy Monday....

I hope all of you had a great weekend!
I am sorry that I have not posted in the last few days--it has been busy around here. It was my birthday weekend and my family AND friends were so kind to me this year! And I want you all to know that I have met (only online--not in person) some of the nicest ladies on Splitcoasters.
If you had a birthday in February I pray that it was as blessed as mine!!

I also wanted to let yall know if you are wanting to see a cute, funny movie that your daughters could see (mine will be 13 in 18 days---she is counting it down) and my nanny saw it too, it was Confessions of a Shopaholic. We all loved it.

And I have also been cleaning due to not doing it in a few days...so now I am off to STAMP AND CREATE!!!! I will see you later this evening with something fun!

Okay- I will stop boring you all with my crazy weekend. I hope you all had a GREAT Weekend!!!

Blessing!
Michele

Hello All,
I hope you all had a good day! I had a great day. My friend Wendy and I took a short road trip to Gadsden to a scrapbooking store. We had so much fun. To those of you that do not know, I have a dream to one day open Scraps & Stamps. Today, going to this store made my passion and desire of owning a store closer to surface. I do believe it will come true one day-"God can DO ANYTHING you know FAR more than I could ever IMAGINE!!!!" So I am leaving it in His Hands and allowing His WILL to be done! We had a GREAT time and now we are trying to think of ways that we can boost Wendy's Stampin UP business. Then...
came home, started supper, worried about daughter being in lock down at school due to a tornado warning, husband in carpool line...waiting...., Nanny wanting to walk around with a knife to eat an apple (see the end of this post), listening and watching the tv to see where the weather was going. Got supper served, Nanny and daughter to bed...husband and I are watching a movie and I am making cards for the "Male" Swap that I am doing on Splitcoasters and creating this blog. So here are the cards that I made...




Recipe: (all supplies SU unless noted)
cardstock: real red, so saffron (lf), summer sun (rt),
white(HL)
inks: image in stazon, words in basic black
ribbon: real red
misc: mini clips(HL)

For those of you who I have not met in person or on other blogs I just wanted to let you know that my family (husband, daughter and I) live with my grandmother and we her caretakers. She has parkinsons and beginning stages of alzheimer's, so I have to tell you that this blog and the items you see that I make are my therapy. Some days there is just no telling what might happen around here...today was one of those days with her wanting an apple in the middle of a tornado warning. So I look at it this way my husband is saving alot of money!!
Thanks for sticking with me today through my long post. I hope you enjoyed it.
Happy scrapn and stampn til next time!

Blessings,
Michele

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, the computer scares me sometimes. Also my family has had the sinus bug and it is terrible. So I have been a little blah for the last few days.

You all take care, and now I think I have figured out this computer I will see yall tomorrow!
