Hi It's me...........

All of our kids are away at college, so I spend plenty of time missing them! My 2 boys live together and are about 2.5 hours away. My youngest, our only girl, lives 4 hours away. I've gotten over the "blues" about them flying the nest...but I still like to let them know I think of them often and miss them even more!!!

Sent this to my daughter.........

And here they are...the 3 kids I miss so much! I am so proud of them too!!
 
 
Wow!! Can you believe I posted a new card everyday this week!?  It felt great to have 2 days off, and it felt even better to get some crafting done!
 
Have a blessed Friday!

Wishing I could....

Lately, I've been missing my sister. God blessed me with 1 sister and 1 brother, and even though they only live an hour away we don't get to see eachother as often as I'd like. So there are days when I'm really missing my siblings.

I am sending her this card...I'm sure she will enjoy it!

And a correction...on the last 2 posts using this paper, I stated it was Heidi Swapp..don't know where I got that!! It's actually Heidi Grace!  Sorry about that!!!

Have a wonderful Thursday!!!

The Latest "Buzz"

 Hi there!!! Yes, I know..it's been a while. Sadly, I just don't have the crafting time I had as a "stay home mom". But now when I get to sew something up or make a card...it's a real treat for me! LOL

I bought this image the other day at Mo's Digital Pencil. I just love BEE images and this one I think is adorable!!!






The paper is a few years old, found it in my stash. I believe it's by Heidi Swapp, it was a 12x12 kit at one time...thank goodness I had some scraps I found were perfect for this image!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!! Check back tomorrow for another card using this same image!

Be Blessed!!

Easter Treats that keep on giving....

So sorry this is posting late. I meant to come back earlier during the week but our internet was down.

I wanted to share this idea with you. I found these super cute plastic mason jar mugs at WalMart for $5! With the bright colored lids and straw they are just adorable for those cool summer drinks!!!

I filled them with Easter candy and tied on a ribbon. I was going to add an Easter banner but forgot. Oh well...you get the idea:
Enjoy the candy today...and the mug for many more days!!! Great for those hot summer days ahead!

 
Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
God bless!!!

Happy BEE day!

Happy Wednesday to you! Yesterday I showed you that new Tiddly Inks image I inked it. I have a thing for "Bee" images. I have several by different companies. If you scroll down you will see one I purchased from Whimsiedoodles. I just love BEE images. Maybe because Honey has been in my family for many years! My grandpa and dad were beekeepers.  I've had uncles and cousins who sold their honey to Sue Honey, very yummy! And now my nephew is carrying on the legacy! You can read all about it here: Perez Beekeeping

So heres today's version:

Just BEE Cause

Whoa!!! I cannot believe it's been THIS long since my last post!! Just over a month...and it's been TOO long! I really miss being a SAHM...but since all of my kids have left the nest to go to college I went back to work. I would love to be a SAHW (stay at home wife), but for now, I have a part time job. And..I do LOVE it! I work 20-25 hours at an office and still get to work at Country Hugs: making and selling my crafts! I have the best of both worlds!

I actually had some "ME" time Sunday afternoon to work on some cards. Oh how I missed that too!!! I purchased this one from Tiddly Inks on Sunday morning and couldn't wait to ink her up!!!
