1. I am a Christian and have been for as long as I can remember, but at this time in my life, I have a Yearning to be able to know Jesus to the fullest..he is the only way I get through my days.

2. My youngest son Benjamin is signing up for Soccer next week and I am not looking forward to it....Soccer is so like the longest season of a sport...GOOD BYE SATURDAYS...(but I will be a good mommy for him) (smile)

3. Although I am not able to have anymore children..(no more junk in the trunk down there)...if there was some invention to be able to have another...........I would.....(yulp even though I have 4)

4. I would love to be able to dance like DANCING WITH THE STARS....hubby and I are going to learn that one day.

5. When I scrap or shall I say, when I am crafting, I like complete silence...no music or TV....(I just can't focus).

6. I watch TV only about once a week and that is for the EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER show...other then that, I don't watch TV.

7. I am the youngest out of 3.....I have a brother and a sister.....brother is 6 years older then me and sister is 8 years older then me...so basically I somewhat grew up as an only child.......LOVED IT.

Well that's it.....hum this was fun....

I AM SO HONORED.............MICKEY PACKAGE

I am so honored to have been chosen to be featured on a blog called INSPIRATIONAL CRAFT BLOGS..one of the team members Kristy Vernon showcased my Transparency card over there today..I had so much fun making this card..it was the first time I had used some yummy crochet flowers....which I happen to love...must get more of them from Rene...she does an awesome job. The Inspirational Craft Blogs is an awesome site...Go check out all the other projects..you are sure to be inspired...Thanks again Kristy.



Lately I have been so into making projects using postal brown wrap paper...I so love the way projects come out using this stuff and it is so CHEAP....can get lots of projects out of a roll...I picked up my roll from Michaels Arts and Craft store...On this little project, I used the postal wrap to wrap up a small gift for a dear friend of mine..I went to Disneyland last week and picked up a little something for her...She is Disney lover (smile)...I wrapped the package with the paper then embellished it with a Mickey head that was cut from the Mickey Font Cricut cartridge...The mickey head is made of vinyl...........love it, it was so easy to sew on...The scallops were made using the George cartridge with the help of the Design Studio software....



Well Hallmark Scrapbook sent me the exclusive DAISY CHAIN Cricut Cartridge today...so I think I will go play with it a bit....

Well I had a wonderful time the last few days in New Port Beach....talk about a wonderful, beautiful city by the water....LOVE IT....I flew down on Thursday to spend a few days with my hubby and just got back last night......We went to Disneyland with a few other friends and acted like a bunch of BRATY GROWN KIDS....he he he....besides all the other functions we had to go to, we just had a great time.....All and all, it is good to be back a little earlier then him, I miss my 4 kids (sign).....Here is my take on the new challenge going on over at the bbtb....The challenge was to use the ORIGINAL cut from the Printing Press cartridge.....Love this cut...I used Cosmo Cricket for this card.....Also I finally got my issue of the Paper crafts magazine that I am in this month.....It is my first publication with them.....YIPEEEEEEEEEEE......both of these cards can be found at my etsy shop.......The original card is slightly different though.....

I am also very honored to have been given 3 YOU MAKE MY DAY awards from: Sharon, DeeDee and Kazan.....these three women are super duper talented...you really really must check out their blogs...I am suppose to award others myself, but it is just way to hard for me, considering I would have to give everyone an award, but please do make sure you check out these ladies awards....
