BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!!!!! RIGHT???

Hi there everyone!! How the HECK are you??? GEEZ!!! I'll tell ya!!! If it's not one thing it's the other!!! I tell you what......I promise....NO MORE PROMISES!!! Hehehe!! I will make it a point to post something for you as often as I can!!! How's that??? I truly believe that I am MORE susceptible (spelled wrong I am sure, dad!!) to colds & stuff, since I have not been working full time. I mean, seriously!! When I worked 10 -12 hours a day, Kyah in pre-school, I was exposed to all kinds of grems and super germs!! In a dental office...you got it all!!! I have never had such a run on being sick!!! I am SO DONE with it, I can't even take it!!!!! I LITERALLY was on the couch for at least 3 days!!! The only time I got off??? To feed little mouths!!!! Quite interesting , when you are the only one they have to depend on!!!! Ya know?? My poor DH has been working like crazy and well....ya know!!!! So, anyway, 'nuff said!!! Don't want to bore you all!! One last thing though, thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers for Kade and Eric!!! It really means A LOT, to know that people care!! Eric, obviously is great; he's back to work. Kade is doing great too, he just is a little swollen & black and blue yet,but we were to expect that.

Ok........can you believe it??? I actually have a Bella for you??? I am really working on this, huh?? Hehe!! Everything I used is from a Shoebox Swap I was in on Bellaholics. I LOVED the paper that was included with this image!!!! It really went well together and was a nice heavy weight, especially for background paper! I am not to sure about the ribbon placement though!!! Oh well, hope you like it anyway!!! I will be back SOON!! Haha!! With another for you!! Remember, check those mailboxes!!!! New Year's cards and hey......maybe even a Valentine's one or two!!! Haha!!! I don't want to miss anyone!!! You ALL are the best and I appreciate you!! Until next time........ENJOY LIFE!!!!!

~I thought I would share this pic of Kyah on Christmas morning! I just LOVE how it came out!

THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!!

Hi everyone, how are you?? I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas!! I wish you all a BLESSED New Year!! I just want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers, it truly means a great deal to me! A BIG thank you too, for your patience!
Eric and Kade had their surgeries and are on the mend!! Both surgeries went well and I am SO glad that we are thru it!! I apologize for not posting in awhile, but, to be honest, it was a tad busy around here. Eric's surgery was the 23rd and Kade's was the 31st. Everything always happens at once, doesn't it? I wanted to have a card for you; of course I was so anxious to touch base with you all, that I don't have one!! So Sorry about that!!
Ok, so, if you have followed my blog; you know that there is a challenge ending today, over on Javablustamper and Friends. Don't forget to check it out and enter to win!! You know me, I LOVE to share!! The challenge ends tonight at midnight and I will post the winner tommorow. Hope you all have entered!!
Last bit of business, it was my plan to get all of my Christmas goodies out BEFORE Christmas!! However, with all the excitement around my house, that didn't exactly happen!! SO..........
If you did not receive your Christmas card..............Be on the look out for your NEW YEARS card!!! I have a few to get out yet and will have them out VERY soon!!! Thanks again for all your support and most of all for caring!!! I will be back tommorow with a card for you!!! Until then......ENJOY LIFE!!!!!!

CARDS,CARDS, & MORE CARDS!!!

Thank you everyone!!! I SO appreciate ALL of your kind words, about Kade. I also am VERY thankful for you keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!! It really means a lot!! We had a surgical consult today; the Doc said he wants to wait and see if it will correct itself. Now, I am all for that and would PREFER nothing more than that!! NO anesthesia is just fine with me!!! However, I am taking him tomorrow morning, for a second opinion. So......we shall see! Let's keep our fingers crossed that this other Doc will agree with the first guy!! Thanks again everyone for caring and I will keep you updated!
Alright, now that I have given you the scoop, I would LOVE to share my latest creations!! It's a slow process, with everything that's going on, but I am still positive that I will get them ALL done!! Hehe!! I hope you like these latest editions, I really do!! I believe, though, that I am partial to my chick card. I know it's not your traditional Christmas card and I didn't have a "Cutsie" saying to make it more seasonal. I think you'll like it anyway!! It is perfect for the intended recipient, hence the whole chick thing. I have to thank all those AWESOME ladies, who swapped images with me, for the Bella Christmas card. I didn't have any Christmas Bella stamps, so this worked out GREAT!!! The last card I made using my NEW SNSS set! I LOVE the little penguin! Isn't he cute?? Well, I must get to bed, big day again tomorrow!!! I am glad you stopped by tonight and hope to visit with you again soon!! Oh yeah, don't forget your mailboxes!!! Remember to check in at Java and Friends on Friday!! Fun,Fun,Fun!!!..........ENJOY LIFE!!

GLAD YOU STOPPED BY!!!

Hey everyone!! How are you?? Ready for Christmas?? Haha! Right!! Ok, so maybe some of you are. A HUGE congrats to you! Alright, let me first say, sorry about the whole goal thing!! I am trying, ok?? Really! Hehe! Anyway, just a few quick things to share tonight, for I am EXHAUSTED!! Long day today!!

First of all, I want to thank my dad for my A-DAY card, he sent me!! Thanks so much dad, you ALWAYS remember!! For those of you who don't know it, I am adopted. I am the VERY fortunate one to have, not one, but TWO, birthdays!!! Or should I re-phrase that and say TWO SPECIAL days!! My dad has ALWAYS acknowledged, the day they adopted me, as my 2nd birthday(sort of speak). So, thanks again dad!! You're THE BEST!!!

Now, I have one other small family thing to share. I try not to bore you with all that. If you could, maybe keep my son, Kade, in your prayers!!! I would SO appreciate it!!! The Doc told me today he needs some surgery, now mind you it is supposedly minor and very common. However, you know how it is......he's 18 mos old and they have to put him under to do it!!! So, you can only imagine..... I am FREAKING out!! To say the least!! Guess it's a MOM thing, right?? Anyway, thanks so much. We are trying to get it taken care of before the end of the year.

Alright, enough of that! I wanted to have more than one for you tonight, but, as you can see that didn't happen! Check it out though!! Isn't she THE CUTEST???? I just got her, recently, from ATS. She is a Digidownload. Now, I NEVER tried those before, but, hey they are WAY COOL!! You should check them out!! I thought about adding some ribbon, but, I really liked how it was and didn't want to take away from her SPARKLY wings!!! Not your traditional Christmas card, I know, but who could resist!!!

I Also leave you with some cute pics I took of the kids!! You know me.....I just HAD to share!!! By the way, those of you who are members of Javablustamper and Friends, watch for some exciting things coming up!!! I would like to post some challenges there and maybe have a prize or two, ok maybe more.......we shall see how it goes!!!! I am so glad I have met all of you!! Thank you so much for your support and kind words!!! Until tomorrow............ENJOY LIFE!!!!

****REMEMBER.......Check those mailboxes!!!!!!! HEHEHE!

HOLTZ, SASSY, & WOJ!!! OH MY!!!

Hey!! Here I am again!!!! Imagine that!!! How was your day today?? Hope you and your family are healthy!! I understand it's BAD this winter, so far!! Boy, don't I know it!!!! Ok, so as promised, I have 3 more cards to share!! Yay me!! That means 3 closer to the KAZILLION I need to get done!! Hehe! In past years I always picked a design and mass produced it!! Haha! However, this year I feel there is just TOO many choices, ya know?? Sooooo, I will make several at a time and design as I go!!! Time consuming, I know, but, more fun??? YES!!! More unique?? YES!!! Here are my lateset ones to share!!
This first one, I LOVE!!! I used my new Sweet N Sassy set; I felt the kitty was appropriate! I used my new liquid applique, I got from my Bella Sistah Carri!!! Thanks girl!!! Now my FAVE part about this card though, is the holly!!!! You know how you look at a card and KNOW it NEEDS something?? Well That is exactly what I did here. So, I took a green prima and cut off the petals to make this holly!! COOL, huh???? See?? Outside the box again!! I'm tryin'!!












And this next one is a WOJ image I got from one of you AWESOME ladies out there! I can't remember who, it's been a LONG month, SORRY! I LOVE WOJ! Don't you?? Hey, how do you like the cheerio I caught in the picture?? I guess if I could crop it, I wouldn't have to share it with you!! I know I like to share, BUT, not my cheerio covered floor!!!! OK, so maybe it's not covered; you get the jist don't you?? Or is that GIST?? I would have taken another pic fpr you. but, alas it is riding the postal highway!! Hehe!











Ok, last one!! I have really been liking the whole TIM HOLTZ thing!! Have you ever visited his blog?? I have a link along my side bar!! You should! He's AWESOME!! VERY unique! Anyway, my previous post had a card using Tim's techniques and here is another!! I used his Alcohol inks and silver metalic, along with glossy paper and his blending tool!! Then I embossed my image. After all that I finished with a CTMH sentiment, courtesy of Carri, of course! All I can say is WOW!! LOVE it!! It's fun too! I have only scratched the surface with this stuff, so I need to keep practicing!! Hope you enjoyed sharing time! Hehe! I sure enjoyed visiting with all of you!! I'll have to work on some Bellas for next time! Hope you all stay well! Hope you'll stop back again soon!! Until next time........ENJOY LIFE!!!
**Oh and no cheerio in that last pic!! Hahaha!!

I think my family is FINALLY well!! Haha!!! I have spent the past several weeks being ill and treating the ill!! I am telling you.......ENOUGH already!! Am I right???? I had THE WORST stomach pain, EVER!!! I am SO glad that is over!! Of course it made its rounds thru the family and I was the LUCKY one to get it TWICE!! Can you believe it??? First colds and then the stomach BUG!!!
