Creating Again

I have been away from my blog for a VERY long time.  I started a new demanding job and put my crafting on the back burner.  Well this same job has given me a new outlet for creating my craft projects.  I design and produce many projects for people at work, family and friends.  Some are great some are not, either way I would like to keep track and document my projects.  Please bear with me as I fuddle my way through this process.  I have also become a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant, because I love their stamps.  The quality, designs and value are all a motivation and inspiration to me. Join me on my journey through card making, scrapbooking and home decor projects.

Padraic's Card

My husband has a cousin from Ireland who turned 50 over the weekend. He is a rancher, so I made him this card. He loved it. Thanks Annie and Padraic for all you did.

For Dalilah

My Niece Dalilah just had a birthday and she love Elmos so I made her this card, stuffed with money of course!

Tyshona

My little sister graduated this year so my mom and I decided to take her and a friend on a cruise to Catalina, Ensenada, and San Diego. Ty and Ruthie were so amazed at all there was to do on this floating hotel, they had a great time. My mom and I have been on quite a few cruises so it was fun watching them have their first time. Go Patrick our favorite dancer in the cruise shows.

VSS fo California

I am a Family Readiness Volunteer for the state of California, for the Army National Guard. I was selected to go to Dearborn, Michigan in July as the volunteer support staff. There are representatives from all 50 states and 2 territories. I had a great time and met so many people and fostered tons of new friendships. So I wanted to share a few photos of us.

For My Husband

My husband retired recently after 36 years of service in The US Army. I started working on his album but got carried away working on the party so I only did a couple of layouts for his album. 36 years, there are TONS of pictures.
