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!

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

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...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
