Moving on....

I just loved this card by Michelle. It is so very pretty! I'm not sure how she got it so soft and multi colored, but I'm thinking she might have done the poppin pastel technique here. Just lovely.

After having four different moving companies come and give me quotes on moving my family to Arizona, I think I have decided to do it the UHaul way. It will save me SOOO much money. Did you know Uhaul has load and unload companies lined up for super cheap? Sounds like a deal to me! Besides...I'm thinking, the more money I save on the move, the more I have to spend on new furniture! Right?

It is still raining here in Florida, and I'm loving it. I wish I could bottle it up and take it to the desert with me. I am going to miss it sooo much!
Off to clean house! maybe....

You must have gotten the rain from us. It has been no stop for weeks. Now it's sunny. I am sure Arizona will be hot and dry. I bet it will be nice to be close to family.

Wonderful cards that you have received. I am sure it will be a big help to have family nearby. I love Arizona but haven't been there in about 3 years.

I hope you will continue to blog with us.

Whereabouts in AZ are you moving? I'm in Gilbert, AZ. And, yes, it's raining today, too.

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
