Good Morning,

I am sorry I have been so unorganized with my posts. In fact I could not even think of a title for this post. My back is still bothering me so I have not been getting much of anything done this last week. I had a wonderful trip to see my Aunt in Brampton which seemed to help for a little, then of course back to work, which seems to have stalled any healing. Thinking I might have to see a doctor about it since it has been a week and doesn't seem to be getting better.
Now that I have updated you on me, I do have a card to show you. Rosie was at a birthday party last week and so here is the card I was able to make for the little boy. Very pleased with myself and the card cause I was able to us a wobble on it. Most of the papers were bought at Micheals and is either Recollections or one of those all occasions paper pack. Stickles of course were used on the candle wicks as well as the cheeks. Was probably not needed for a boys card, but it looked so nice. The die cut is one I did from the smiley card cartridge on my gypsy. I wish I had video'd it case the wobbles are really cool. And as always I did use my ATG gun to put the layers together. I hope you enjoy and have a good day. Woohoo Grey''s Anatomy is on today as well as Private Practice two of my favorite shows for a Thursday plus Big Bang Theory. Enjoy your Thursday. Thanks as always for looking.

Thankful Tuesday.

I hope everyone is doing well today. I just have a quick
post to share with you. A couple of weeks ago my sister
and I went for lunch on my day off. And as the bill came
she grabbed it and said it was her treat.
Well as most of you know my goal for 2011 is to
try to keep up with all the occasions
for sending cards.
So what a perfect occasion to send a card,
a thank you for a lovely lunch
and such a nice gesture.

Now I have always like that saying "I like/love you a latte"
being that I am such a latte lover. This cute little cup
was cut with my cricut from the smiley card cartridge we
got from the last gypsy update.
The googlie eyes were just dollar store buy, and the stickles on her cheeks
were a dollar buy at Michaels. The stamp is an acrylic stamp
not sure the name. And the paper is from
Me & My Big Ideas specialty cardstock paper pack, and well
as my usual stand by Michaels Recollection. As always
I have used my atg gun for the adhesive. I did something
different on this one for the pop dots. I used some fun foam the
same colour as the paper to pop up the image. I believe it was
from Creations with Christina that came up with that wonderful idea.
Hope you enjoy, I am aiming to put another post for tomorrow
with another card. Have a great day and thanks for looking.

A Big Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Just a short post today. It has been very busy around here these days and so I haven't been doing much crafting. I have been reorganizing my craft space which once I am happy with it I will post a few pictures of it. Plus getting laundry caught up and put away. On the weekend though my Dad was very kind to come and hand our family's chandelier. Now I say family's because it was given to my Grandfather as a thank you for helping out a family during a difficult time. Then once it didn't fit into my grandparents home it was passed down to my mother, and now to me. I think it looks very elegant and am happy to have it hanging above my grandparents dinning room set once again. In my own family we have been telling lots of stories about my grandparents and the items we have now acquired from them and Rosie (my youngest) has started to take an interest in the stories and is thinking about the things she would like once they no longer fit into my house. I am thinking that could be a while my dearest daughter.
Anyhow on to the beautiful picture of my new chandelier..........

So thanks so much for the great job done Dad! Excuse me for going off on a proud daughter moment but there has never been a job around my house that he hasn't been willing to help me out with, and that is without complaint about the job at hand. Of course he has other complaints about my house but that is another post, lol. We went to the hardware store and got what we needed (after asking an associate for help) and headed home and he went straight to work. He knew what to do! Dad even was able to find a solution to what we thought was going to include another trip to the hardware store for a new piece. I know he doesn't read my blog but I know that my Mum does and will pass along the praise I am giving him for a job well done. Thanks Dad I love you!! So this card is what I am sending him as well as a thank you because he doesn't read my blog, so shh! Mum don't tell him about the card, lol. I used my new smiley card download on my gypsy. The cardstock is recollections from Michaels, the googlie eyes are from the dollar store, stickles for the lips, swiss dots embossing folder and the background paper was also embossed with a cuttlebug folder but not sure the name (oops), cuttlebug, and of course my gypsy and cricut. The adhesive I used was mono adhesive the liquid type cause of the embossing as well as some pop dots from the dollar store. Hope you enjoy and have a Wicked Wednesday it is all down hill the weekend now!!
