Another card

I created this card for a challenge at papertherapy.ning.com

it is a brand new ning started and so far has been lots of fun. several different challenges up right now for cards and scrapping both. check it out if you have time to play.

well I have come to the conclusion that God really does love me. LOL (I already really knew this but) my daughter, hubby and 4 children already live with my husband and I and today she invited my son and his 2 kids to come over .she was going to babysit his kids at my house ALL day. NO,NO, NO. I love them all so much but 6 kids in one house all day is just not my idea of a relaxing Sunday afternoon. anyway my son get called away and couldn't come. whew!!! what a relief!so now I can finish a few other things that need done so bad .

anyway I have found kind of a cool place online. it is shophomade. a place where you can post your handmade stuff for sale and there is no fee. so this card is up there for sale at the moment. I have no idea how much traffic this site gets or how many things sell on there but I am going to try it for a little while anyways. Heck whats there to loose for free.

This is a Christmas card I made for my little brother who just happends to love birds

Hi everyone, I just thought I would post another card I made this week. This one was made out of lightweight chipboard so that it stands up. it was made as an encouragement/ thanks card for a friend who helped out our family with some food this week. My husband has now been unemployed since just before Thanksgiving. But honestly the hardest part is just not being able to go buy all the new scrapping stuff. Its killing me!!!! I want so bad to go buy those copic markers and more paper of course! LOL like I dont have enough to last the next 10 years! It wont hurt one bit to use up some of the stuff I have already. Then when he does go back to work I might have some room to buy some new stuff.

actually my daughter and her husband have finally found a house and will be moving out sometime in Feb. That will be so nice. I might actually be able to move my scrap stuff back into the spare bedroom instead of taking up my entire living room.

Im back

Boy has it been a long time since I got on here and updated anything. well there has been so much going on I cant even tell you. Most of all I guess I need to tell everyone that Simple Treasures has closed. I am so sad about this but the store just could not make it in this economic nightmare.I am not going to try to play catch up however I will show you some art my daughter and I have been working on. she has made this wonderful ATC for me yesterday. it is her very first.

Her second one is equally as beautiful. I cant wait to share more of them with you. I think she is finding something hidden way down inside her that has never been come out before.

Over the holidays, I came up with a plan to scrap my granddaughter a recipe album of all of our favorite dishes. I had my grandson take the photos of us cooking together in the kitchen and now I am working on an album that I hope someday she will really cherish. I am including even the most simple recipes like mashed potatoes. Have you ever noticed that people make mashed potatoes different? Here is one of the many cute photos that he took of us in the kitchen.

I have been working on cards so here is a couple of the latest ones I have made.
