A change is as good as a rest....

Or so my mother always said. I don't know about that these days. I have had tons of changes going on in my life, but I don't exactly feel rested! 
We are all moved in and functioning well. Almost all the boxes are gone....if you don't look in the garage. I am really enjoying my new house but missing my old 'home' and friends terribly! I appreciate all the calls, emails, and cards from everyone. You keep me going!
I haven't set up my office enough to stamp yet and it is driving me crazy! 
My goal was/is to get the kids areas all set up first so they could be settled to start school. Everyone but Jared started last week. He starts tomorrow. Then, maybe, just maybe, I can get MY stuff together!
I did do something creative the other day tho....I had ordered these Ginormous Flowers for my white van but then changed cars. My sister really liked them so we attacked her suburban with them. Aren't they great?! We did both sides and a few on the 'tail', all with one set. You get a LOT of flowers!
It looks great and makes it super easy to spot your car in a sea of cars at the mall. There are lots of choices in the new catalog....order something for your car! They are way easy to put on, don't hurt the paint, and are easy to remove when you want to change them. Do a different theme for each season! LOL
My goal is to actually stamp/scrapbook this week. Cross your fingers!!

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...
