So Loved

My Best Friend had surgery last week.

I wanted to make her something more than just a card.

Not that homemade cards are the bomb,

they are!

I  just wanted something different.

Here it is!

A few things that I have learned from her are?

1. That it is ok to Hoard special scrapbook supplies.
2. Watching chic flicks over and over is an awesome way to spend a day.
3. That people will only do to you, what you allow them to
4. That food can tie people together
5. With hard work and a Dream, 16 years of working with someone is not long at all.
6. That friends turn into family
7. That minutes and hours have magically turned in to cherished memories.
8. That respect is away of saying I love you.
9. Laughing so hard you can't stop is a great way to start a work day.
10. Me realizing God put you in my life for so much more than I ever imagined.

She is recovering great and doing amazingly well. I admire her in so many ways and am truly grateful for her. I look forward to making many more memories together.

a gift that keeps GIVING..

This year for Mothers day I gave a gift that keeps giving, and even better made with LOVE.  I got a small Pizza box and decorated it.  Inside I put 30 or so homemade cards, of all occasions.

   Here it is!

Thanks, Vicki

Paper Flower Wreath

I have been waiting to use my new Cricut cartridge, (art philosophy by close to my heart) I got last June. It has a lot of different 3D flowers.  I get so excited when I think of all the stuff, I can do with these beauties.  First up is a Spring/Summer Wreath. Take a look.

DIY painting..

Hooray… I love new paint, I love the feel of a newly transformed room, I love the clean feeling. I love decorating, planning it out. I love how it emulates your personality. So Mr. C aka (My Mr. Right) he came to the rescue again. It’s been 4 years since we moved in to our home. He has painted the boys room, Whitney’s room, Payton’s room, the Theater room, the Kitchen, and all main living area, foyer, hall ways, etc. We still have a few more to go but, this time it was OUR MASTER BEDROOM… We have all Black Furniture and a couple years ago, my MOM agreed to make my QUILT so we chose Black, Red and White. She got the quilt done just a couple of months ago.. You what til you see it. It is AMAZING! Thank you MOM! I love it so much.

The Quilt!!

Before Pic. Cream walls, White ceiling..

OK.. Here it is! 

WOW.. Right?

a simple gift

It’s that time of year again, and I have some girls close to me Graduating High School. They are both going to college so I though cooking utensils would be nice. I saw this gift idea on another website and the utensils were sticking out of a pot with other flowers. I liked it, and thought it was super cute. But this is my version of a flower bouquet wrapped in tissue paper.

My advice to those Graduating, moving on or just getting thru another day!!

it’s MAY..

Well, it’s May and I still haven’t got around to blogging about Easter or The Clark County Fair. I will write about Easter first. We spent Easter weekend in Beaver this year. We had a Baptism with the Lopshire family. After that we headed out west of Manderfield with the Bradshaw’s. We had a picnic and an Easter Egg Hunt. (Thanks, Grandma Glenna), we also went on a hike to see Indian writing. We visited and rode the 4-wheelers around. We had a great time and it was nice weather. The following day the Easter Bunny found his way to the kids. We had a great Lunch and Egg Hunt with the Cox’s. (Thanks, Grandma Ally). Payton would only choose the Pink eggs. I’m not sure what that is about. We had a beautiful weekend with family, and I was reminded how Blessed our lives really are. I can’t help but think that Heaven is Here, on Earth right now. 

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!! VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL
