Trisomy 21

Good morning!  Today is 3/21 and I am celebrating with my nephew Jamie.  If you aren't familiar with Trisomy 21, I'll explain.  Somy means gene and we all have 2 copies of every gene that makes up who we are but in Downs Syndrome or Trisomy 21 there are three copies of gene 21.  It can cause mild to severe retardation as well as heart and lung  problems and other health issues.  Jamie has been the biggest blessing our family has ever had, just the thought of him always brings a smile to my face and when I am around him I am happy.  He loves music and sings and plays several instruments, his favorite is the guitar.  Jamie was certainly no mistake, God knew we needed him in our lives.  I love you Jamie Bush!

It's almost over......

Just a quick post to remind you that SAB is ending March 22.  If there is still something you really want, you better hurry!  To make it even better, I will be giving FREE shipping and Free taxes on your $50.00 order plus you get to choose one FREE item.  If I get at least six people ordering $50.00, I will also draw for the Hostess benefits. 

Congratulations

Good morning!  I have been playing with the All Dressed Up dies, I am so glad I bought them.  I have so many ideas of things to make such as ballet tutus and wedding dresses and dresses with jackets just to name a few.  These will be perfect for scrap book pages and cards.  for this one, I cut three dresses in Whisper White and then cut 2 of them down so I could add the layers to get the longer length.  Sorry the photo is not the best but all white is hard for me.

Happy Spring

 

Good morning!  I am pleased to say that I am now rested from my busy weekend, yesterday I was too tired to move but it is amazing what a good nights sleep will do for you.  I have another busy weekend coming up, I am going to SU Regional in St. Louis along with a few friends!  I am taking this card as my swap, actually only the card front.  I think this little frog is adorable from the Spring Sampler stamp set.  I chose a simple design since I am going to try to make 150 of these.  Thanks for stopping by!

Sycamore Street

 

 

Good afternoon!  Quick post to show you a cute card using some FREE SAB DSP(that's a whole lotta initials!).  I just noticed in this photo there is no sentiment added to the card, guess I will need to decide what o use it for and then add it.  Thanks for stopping by!

Spectacles

Good morning!  Spectacles...that is what my grandfather called them and when I got new ones recently I told my girls this and they thought it was funny, so that is the new "hot" word around our house right now.  I saw this idea of adding the googly eyes and the nose  by Linda Callahan on  Stampin' Connection(a website for demonstrators) and loved it.  This stamp isn't in a catalog right now but is available as a Single Stamp and can be found here . 

  Item # 132673   $7.95

Hope you have a blessed weekend!

Hope

Good afternoon!  I am frantically trying to get ready for The Pink Event which takes place on Saturday.  there is so many things I would like to accomplish but it is doubtful that it will happen.  Today's project was made with the All Dressed Up framelit dies(which I said I wasn't going to buy because I didn't need them....but as you can see I changed my mind).   The DSP is retired, I have used every piece of pink I have. 

Yesterday I had to do something that I have been dreading.  I had to register my Shelby for High School(:  I can't believe she is going to be 15 in October, where did the time go.  Thanks for stopping by!

Thoughts of You

Good morning!  Today's card was stamped with a stamp from Million Dollar Moments which is a Hostess selection from the Spring catalog.  The sentiment is from Rain or Shine and the DSP is from Sunshine and Sprinkles.


And the winner of the blog candy is......Angie H!  I have your address and will get this in the mail to soon.  Thanks to all who left comments, I appreciate you all.

Everybunny

 

 Good Monday morning!  I just love decorating paint cans to hold treats.  I have an event coming up soon so I am trying to get several of these made.  I used the Everybunny stamp set to decorate the Label framelit.  The trim is Daffodil Delight and is retired. 

Here is what the top of the can looks like.

Guess what today's post is......#1000!  It is hard to believe I have been doing this since 2008.  It has been wonderful getting to know people from all over the world, even though we may never meet in person I count them as friends. 

Here are a couple more things I found, Prima Flowers.  One package has a few missing.  I will draw for a winner tomorrow before I post.
