Always on My Mind

Good Monday morning to you!! After a very busy graduation weekend..I am ready to slow down!
I am extemely proud of our youngest child graduating from high school. She is the last to leave the nest for college and will be attending Texas A&M in College Station. Her older brother is a Texas Longhorn, so we will have a Divided House! LOL

Okay, now for our new challenge #113-Chevrons!. The theme for this week was to use the Chevron pattern on your card. My problem...I couldn't find one piece of Chevron anything in my stash! Can you believe that!? So...I googled "free Chevron digital papers" and found some cute tags to print for free! *Link below

is what you are to ME!

Happy Friday to all of you!!! I, on the other hand, don't always look forward to Fridays. Why? Well, I'm a part time "stay at home Mom"...so weekends means..everyone is home with me. Hubby and 2 of my 3 kids. So it's usually more cooking, running around, household stuff, etc that gets done on weekends. It's not that I do not enjoy my time with my family, but I'm one of those "routine girls", I'm used to my weekly routine and this is just a break in that. Which is just fine with me!

Okay....enough chatter! LOL Here's my card for today:

Card Details: Image-Unknown (received from a friend), Sentiment: Create with TLC, Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye,Cardstock: Bazzill (Passionate), Circles: Spellbinders, Misc-RicRac

Embrace your Crazy!

Well, I have to admit.... I have my good days, and I have my bad days. Today, seems to be one of those "off" days. I have so much to do and I'm just not "feeling it". Sorta have the blues if you know what I mean.
The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day........but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by life and let down by some of the people in it.
Not my family....just acquaintances that I feel took advantage of me. Sorta hurts your spirit.  

So..I thought I'd share this card with you. I have crazy days like this rabbit, but instead of pulling my ears out..I wanna pull my hair out! LOL

Challenge #102

Happy Monday to you! Hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine. Now that Spring Break is over, it is time to get back to reality! We didn't do much, but I enjoyed having all 3 of my kids home together. Now they are back to college and work.
Today we've got a new challenge for you over at Craft Your Passion Challenges, this is challenge #102 and the them is

"No image...just a sentiment"

I got this image from Paulette of Create with TLC, it is one of my favorite Bible verses. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it when I received it.


I found this frame and Goodwill for $2, I just love all the pretty details in it. I almost painted it after I bought it, I'm so glad I didn't because I really like the gold with the Prima flowers. The stick on pearls were white, so I colored them with a sharpie to give them that gold, vintagy look. The leaves are a Martha Stewart punch.

Our sponsor this week is:


Thanks for visiting today. Have a wonderful Monday!

A Get Well Wish for You

Happy Monday to you!!! I hope your day is going great! Today I've got a new challenge for you!
It's time for Craft Your Passion Challenges #101. I have to admit, the challenge theme really scared me there for a minute. You see, the theme is to make an Easel Card..something I've never done before. But after reading a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers...I found that it was easy and fun! I am so glad this challenge came about because otherwise, I may have never tried this technique! And now I can see myself making many more of these easel cards in the future!
