Candy winner!

Yesterday was a super busy day! We had two soccer games, a birthday party, a spaghetti dinner/auction, scuba lessons, and a workshop. That is my excuse for not posting. I was dead dog tired by the time I got to bed! The good news is, my daughter did awesome at soccer and my son made it all the way through the game...actually on the field! I had to bribe him and his coach did some pretty awesome pep talking, but he made it! All the parents made a point of praising him and telling him what a good job he did. Granted, he was given a spot to guard on the field and that is where he stayed. I mean, literally. His feet did NOT move, but he was out there. He cheered for his team and he tried to watch the ball, but he stayed in his spot. He awesome coach moved his spot now and then to keep him in the thick of the game. It was awesome. He had a great time!


I wanted to share a really cute card that I got for my birthday. This is the card Shari made me. I like it a lot because of the colors, but also because she figured out how to use the sticky shapes! I couldn't get the backing off of them when I tried, but she did. It looks awesome in person! she used bashful blue and berry bliss patterned paper for this card. I love the hodgepodge hardware in the lower right corner. (Don't have any of this new set yet...) Thanks for the great card Shari!

I also want to announce my blog candy winner. I had a fun time reading about all the things you like as a you grow older. Seems like most of us like the fact that we are wiser, calmer and basically not a teenager! My random pick for the candy is...........

My favorite thing about getting older is the attitude adjustment ... you kinda roll with the punches and stop worrying about the little things ... or things that you can't change.
Deb, I totally agree with you on this one. Don't sweat the small stuff is a great motto that I try to use a lot! Send me your snail addy and I will mail you the blog candy! Thanks everyone for your comments and mostly for visiting my blog! Have a great Sunday!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I

Bloggers challenge and candy

I know I said I would post some blog candy yesterday but I didn't even get near my computer! What a crazy day! I had planned on doing it the night before but...I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I was so dog tired that I laid my head down on the counter for a minute. My son came into the room and said, "go to bed mom, dad and I will do the dishes." Now, who in thier right mind would turn down that offer? My boys HATE to do anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating. I immediately turned off my water(boiling for herb tea) and skedaddled upstairs and went to bed. I'm no dummy! The kitchen was not cleaned to my standards, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth! Speaking of gifts, I have a little blog candy offer today. In honor of my 8000 hits, I am offering the following: A simply scrappin kit "Just Delightful", a stamp set "Delight in Life", three mini spools of ribbon, some acrylic tiles AND a copy of the latest

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for
