Beautiful Magnolia

My Magnolia tree bloomed out last night and I just had to pick one to share with you!

It's a Dog's Life

I made this card for my Sadie, she is the dog lover in our family....me, I can do without any pets at all...thankfully she chose a small dog, a Maltipoo.  She named him Charlie and he loves her as much as she loves him.  He  may be small but he protects her and if he doesn't want you in her room, you best not try to go in. I opened her door to take her laundry to her and thought I was going to be attacked.  Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations!

I don't have anyone graduating this year except for a great niece who is going to nursing school but I got a request to make 6 graduation cards for a grandmother who has 6 grandchildren graduating this year, two from college and 4 from High school!

Just a Note

Love this rooster...probably because it brings back  good childhood memories and the fact that I love to color images.  

You've been on my mind

I am a terrible blogger these days...just got too much going on I guess.  My favorite flower is the Daisy and I plant some every year only to have them "accidently" mowed by my husband so this year I decided to pot them instead.  So far they have been ok but the problem with potting them is they get dry quick and are easily knocked over.  I guess I will just have to be satisfied with paper daisy's for now.

Frog Birthday

Good morning!  Me and my kiddos are in Dollywood for a few days.  Sadie is in the school band and they are in a competition here.  We used to live in this area and took the older kids multiple times during the summer but the younger ones have never been so they are very excited about it.  It's a lot of walking for me but hopefully I can keep up with them.  Thanks for stopping by!

Dapper Day

Today's card was one of the three we made yesterday at the monthly birthday class.



Hold on to Hope

Today I have another Easter card to share.  This one is very simple which is my style these days.  Thanks for stopping by!

He Brought Hope

Today I have another Easter card using the Crosses of Hope dies.  I love this time of the year because of what Easter really means.  Through His death, burial, and resurrection Jesus brought hope of everlasting life to anyone who asks for it.  He had no sin but took on the sins of the world.  If you don't have this Hope in your life and would like to know more, I would be happy to tell you more!

Happy Easter

Today's card is one of the three we made yesterday at the Easter class.  I loved Easter as a child mostly because my grandfather made such a big deal about it.  He loved to hide the eggs and watch us hunt for them. One year my uncle who was always playing pranks asked if he could hide them.  We hunted for 20 minutes and no one had found a single egg so my grandfather asked him where he had hidden them.  He finally showed us after having a good laugh, they were in a flower pot on the front porch.  He had eaten several of them and spread the egg shells along the path up to where they were but we never noticed since my grandfather always hid them in the grass in the yard.
