One of a kind...candy winner!

I hope you all had as great of a weekend as I did. I was busy busy busy, but it was great! My baby turned 16....time sure does fly! I spent most of Saturday with shopping with her and two of our friends. It was a lot of fun. Isn't she beautiful?! this is her and her friend at dinner. Actually, it was after dinner getting milk shakes and french fries. Her friend had not tried that together. Doesn't everyone love fries with their shakes??

I spent some time being creative this weekend, making some cards for friends. Here is one that I really liked. I used the baroque motifs and words from One True Friend. The card base is Pretty in pink. The 'ruffle' layer is vellum cardstock that I ran through my paper crimper. I layered some polka dot paper from the Dashing set(retired) and added some pink ribbon. The hearts are punched from vellum cardstock, adhered with liquid Tombow and then covered with clear stickles. A 2-way glue pen and dazzling diamonds would give you a similar look.
Finally, I did pick a winner for my blog candy! You all shared some great summer activities! Thanks so much to everyone that shared. If you haven't already, look through the comments and get some ideas for yourself. The winner is....Kath! I loved her idea for making easy ice cream. I plan to try this one. Who doesn't love ice cream on a hot summer day?! Check out her comment for the recipe. Awesome! Kath, send me your address and I will get the goodies out to you this week.
I have more candy collecting so stay tuned!!

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
