Weekend Fun!!!!!

What a great weekend we had.  Jon and Misti asked us to go to St. George with them and watch the kids while they ran a 13 mile trail race. We left Friday morning and set out for St. George.  The weather wasn't that nice but boy did we have fun.  Friday we shopped at the Outlets and enjoyed dinner at the Brick Oven.

Saturday was the race.  Jon and Misti left just after 6:00  so DeWayne and I took the kids to breakfast at the Bear Paw Cafe (one of my favorite eating spots in St. George).  We then took the kids to watch Jon and Misti come across the finish line of the race.  We timed it just perfect.  We had only been there maybe 10 minutes when they came across.  Zoe and Jack played on the playground equipment for a while and then we headed back to the hotel to rest and get showered and ready for the movie in the afternoon.  We went to see Oz the Great and Terrible.  I wasn't too excited about seeing it but I actually enjoyed it.  We had dinner at Poncho's and Lefty's and the ice cream at Cold Stone.  Jon and Misti and the kids headed out Sunday morning.  The weather was beautiful that day so DeWayne and I took a quick trip to Zions.  It was such a fun weekend and such a much needed get away.  Thank you Jon and Misti!!!!!

My March Project!!!!!

Pinch Me!!!!!

I had so much fun putting this fun Pinch Me together.  I did one for me and one for both of my girls.

It was so fun to do and it make's me smile.  I am loving doing the wood projects.  I might need to start doing workshops with wood items!!!!!!!

Welcome March!!!!

Here we are in another month of 2013.  Is time going as quickly for you as it is for me?

It is time for another stamp of the month and I have to say I was not in love with this stamp set until I saw the card below created by Gina Brandsetter.  It totally changed how I felt about this stamp set.  This is a base and shade stamp set and when you check out the card below you will know why I fell in love with it.

Floral Happiness March SOTM

 The stamp is a great Base and Shape set that includes 16 stamps!

$5.00 with a $50.00 purchase or $17.95 to purchase outright.  You can place your order by clicking on the shopping cart on the left and that will take you directly into my ordering web site.  You can also phone me or email me with your order.  

I LOVE CREATING.....

Especially when it is challenging.  The items below are made with the new Claire Papers.  The colors are very vibrant and bright but a little too bright for my taste.  I toned them down by using Champagne Cardstock and it gave them a more soft and subtle look.  I hope that you enjoy these......they will be the items that we will make at my March Workshop.  More information to follow on March 1st.

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

Wishing all of my friends, followers, and family a day filled with love and happiness!!!!!!

I love you all !!!!!

Being Sick Stinks......

There is nothing that I hate more than being sick.  I don't have time for it in my life.  I went home from work on Thursday and had to cancel my Workshop.  Felt a little better Friday went to work and did my scheduled things, came home and was sick from Friday night throughout the weekend.  If I am going to be sick I would  much rather be sick on work time than on my weekend.  Any way feeling much better today and glad to be back to normal.  I have a couple of things that I wanted to share that I have created.  The first one is a card that I created with the new Love Always papers for a swap that I am in, and the second is a cute Valentine's Day Wood Project that I made.  

Card for Sheri's Swap using the For Always papers in the Spring Summer Catalog........

(I used the Mojo Monday Pattern from last week)

Wood Valentine project that I made.......

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and a terrific week!!!!!!
