Happy Easter again...


Had another great family day today since George was off again.  Slept in a little bit (almost 8am) and then got up and did a few things around the house before making some cards, doing the candied sweet potatoes that I was taking to dinner and then getting ready.  The morning seemed to zip by, but it was a fun day!

The card above is another one that I did with some papers from TPC Studio (The Paper Company).  To see the first batch with these new papers, check out this post...  This style of card is one I go back to a lot when I need to do some quick cards and these papers were so cute for this!  The label shapes and sentiment die cut were done with my MM Slice.  I gave everyone these cards except my 94 year old grandma who got the card that was in the previous post since I knew she'd like the flower!


We went out to my aunt and uncle's place which is about an hour drive for us.  It was great to see my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc!  I went especially to see my grandma and she was really happy to see us and the kids!  My sister, BIL and their kids went too, so I think having everyone there for dinner made her day!  So, it was home after that and I need to go tuck the kids in since George went out to do a quick grocery shop for what's left of the week...

Have a fabulous week!
Cheers,

Catch-up and a new layout...


Supplies: Scalloped paper is Bazzill. Patterned paper is Daisy D's and MME. Journaling sticker is Daisy D's. Other stickers are 7Gypsies. Lettering is Pink Paislee. Misc ribbon. Pen is an American Crafts Slick Writer.

I got out one of my old Scrapperie kits (October 2007's Indian Summer) this afternoon and played a little. This picture was sitting on top of the stack and I thought I knew what this layout was going to be about, but it took on a life of it's own! I got inspired by some of the stickers/labels in the kit and it went in another direction, but one I was enjoying! I had actually planned on this being a layout for a stash challenge at YMBD, but I added the Pink Paislee (new) lettering right at the end! Oh well! Just have to do another stash layout!

It was a crazy busy weekend this past weekend! I worked Thursday night, Friday night until midnight and then all day Saturday and Sunday! The store had their annual weekend crop this weekend, so it was fun, but busy!

George had yesterday off, so it was a chance for us to see a bit of each other. We did have to take the car in for brakes though and I was on preschool duty in the afternoon. I had planned on going to bed early, but got my second wind and ended up watching The Bachelor! Yes, I got sucked in again! Who do you think he'll pick??

For those of you that have been keeping my grandma in your thoughts, thank you! She was finally moved to a rehabilitation center and will be getting speech therapy as well as physical rehabilitation there. It's still just a day at a time and we're hoping that she make some real improvements!

Well, I'm off to Tracy's here shortly so I can run our taxes through her program and just get them done. I've never done them this late before!! Oh well, they'll get done!

Have a great evening!
Cheers,
