Fall is in the air!

I remember when I was a kid...it seemed that as soon as school started the weather started cooling off. It hasn't been that way for a long time now! Maybe it is because I live in Florida. I don't know. It has been getting nicer here for a few weeks, but we finally have weather that lets you leave the windows open at night and snuggle up in a quilt. I am loving it! Of course, nothing good comes without a price. You guessed it. The kids are sniffling. My kids don't ever get really "sick" but they do get sniffles now and then. Ben is home today, and has been all week. Funny, I got a call from his teacher yesterday asking if he was okay and if he just stayed home to snuggle. I told her that was about it. He doesn't have a fever or anything, just wants mommy time. Sometimes that is hard to get around here.

As some of you know, I have my hands in many things these days. One of the things I have been playing with is vinyl art. I actually purchased a (quite expensive) vinyl cutter. The kind they use to put words on the side of cars. I mostly use mine to make home decor. We are having a craft day at church this Saturday and this is the craft I am doing. If you would like to order one, I am asking $25 plus shipping if you are out of the area. Or, if you are in the area and want to come Saturday and make it, you can do that for $22. Or, if you just want the vinyl and can get the rest yourself, I am charging $14. The board measures 24 inches long. The pictures are just clipped to the mini clipboard so you can swap them out of you want to update your pictures or if a child gets disowned or something. LOL
I got a brand new stamp set on Monday from the Orlando regional promotion. It isn't even in the catalog yet! Kim is on her way over and we are going to play! I'll share later. :o)

I want to make one! I have been looking ALL over for one and I wanted to make one, but couldn't think of exactly how I wanted it to look! Can you let me know exactly how you made it? Thanks!

Hello Beckie! I have enjoyed reading your blog! You are very crafty! I got a message from Julie that you would like to order 2 oatmeal, milk, & Honey bath bombs. If you could send me your information to my email account, I will figure postage for and send you a pay pal invoice. Thanks so much for the business!

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
