My 13 year old


I felt bad not posting a picture of my birthday boy on his birthday. We did take pictures, I just didn't have them ready! here is one of him blowing out the candles on his home made ice cream cake. He is a really cute guy. Not that I'm biased or anything, he really is cute! He is going through the "I won't cut my hair" stage...I don't love it, but I love him and try to pick my battles. If you know what I mean... and, don't look at me, look at his cute little smile. He is telling his brother that he is going to eat the whole cake himself. Little turkey!


I learned long ago that a small cake is better than a big one. It is better if we can cut the whole thing up and eat it in one sitting than if we have leftover cake. Can you guess who eats the left over cake? Me, that's who. And I don't even like cake! But, my hips do, boy, they hoard it and save it forever...Kind of like me and patterned paper...

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...

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...
