If Wishes Come True!

See what wonderful digi's can become? It's the perfect card to see on a Monday, for that matter, any day! Digi papers, digi saying, and a nice punch is all this took! I spent a nice easy day on Sunday doing the things I love. They included spending time with Barry and making cards! Please don't ask which is more important---I don't want to chose! He usually works on Sunday, but traded this week with the lady who works on Saturday so we got the wash done, eat a nice breakfast and work back to back in the studio! He was on the computer and me at my desk!

We bought our air tickets this week on AA for Disney. Another step in the planning. We have been so many times to the parks, but this time we're trying to act like first time visitors and see Disney in a different way. It should be fun!

I'm working this whole week so I can have both Saturday and Sunday off next weekend. I'm hoping I make it. It's a long time to stand on my feet these days. I really enjoy the job, but I get so tired by the end of the week, all I want to do is sleep!

Well I'm off to shower and another cup of coffee. Have fun today!

It's Almost Friday!

I know, I know, it's only Thursday, but Friday is coming---so I've been told! I have off today and I just got up at 11! I guess I really needed the sleep! Barry is still sleeping. It's been a long week so far for both of us. Work has been busy and sleep has been short, but I think I'm all caught up now!

These are some new cards I made this week. I love how they both turned out! The owl card is made using a clip art image and of course, some digi papers. I found that cute paperclip star hanging around on my desk and added some ribbon. The second card is using a Birdie Brown digi! Notice the new paper? The birthday paper was from a new My Mind's Eye pad I found at M's. They finally got something new in!

I guess that's about it from the Zoo. All is well with the kids and we're looking forward to our new Bloomer in July!

Happy April!

Or as we like to say at the Bloom Zoo, 3 months until Baby Bloom comes to visit! I can't believe the time is moving along so fast. It seems like yesterday we were planning the wedding, and now we're getting ready for the new baby! She'll be here before we know it!

It's been a busy month for me. With working and trying to keep new and prettier cards in my store, I don't seem to have a lot of time to write on my blog or even Facebook anymore. It could be that I'm hooked on Pinterest a little too much, but hey, what's a "little" too much! Looking at that site is like having a million new magazine's in your home everyday! I love it!

We are going to Disney! I booked our trip yesterday. I can't wait. A week in the World in September is just what I need. I would say I "need" a trip to Maui, but since it's a killer price, the trip to Florida will have to do! We're going to meet up with old friends there too. A gal I went to HS with and her hubby! It's been at least 40 years since I saw Karen, but as I told her yesterday, my mirror says I look the same, and I'm sure hers does too!

Well happy April everyone. Be good!

I do not know where the month has gone, but I do know I've been busy with work and creating new cards for my store. I've shown you a few of those creations today. I just finished an order of 5 cards with an Easter bunny train on it. I now know why I don't do special orders anymore! I hate making the same card more then one time!

We now have a name for baby Bloom. She'll be called Sydney. It's after Barry's dad. We are thrilled with the name. The week when Mandy has the baby, we're going to take Coco home with us. What a hardship to have my favorite furry grand baby with us!

I'm still working and so is Barry. We have been planning a few trips. In May we are heading to Branson, MO to spend a few days, and now we're planning a trip to Disney in September. Life is getting better for us again. We still our money, but we're able to enjoy life a little better these days.

I'm off again today, but I work the next 4 days to get my 20 hours in. I'd rather have a break in the days I work, but that's how this week is, so I take it slow each day!

Hugs,

It's Gonna Be Another Little Princess!

I guess since I had only boys, I am going to be blessed again with a new little girl in our family! Evan and Mandy found out Saturday that they are going to have another little Bloom princess! We are very excited for them. Poor Grandpa. He said he's going to have to get another part-time job to keep up with his girls! Madelyn had her Grandpa (and her Grandma) just where they want them to be!

In honor of my next little girl, I added this card yesterday to my Etsy store. Madelyn is our dancer right now. I think she likes Tap better right now, but she's so talented either way!

I'm off again today. It's nice to have a few days in a row. Barry is off to the VA Hospital for all his annual tests. He wanted me to go with him, but since he left before 7, I said a big NO! I have got to go and feed the cats for the kids soon anyway and mail my package off. It's so nice to wake up to a sale on a Monday morning!

Have a great day!

Well today is the day! We finally are suppose to find out if the new baby is going to be a girl or boy! I'd love a boy to carry on the "Barry Bloom" family name, but I'd be happily in love with whatever we have for our next grandchild. Manny's mom is visiting from Houston this weekend and we're having dinner with the gang tonight.

Larry, Tina, and Madelyn left yesterday for Galveston to get ready for the Disney Cruise today! The bus picks them up at the hotel and they'll be gone until next Friday! I have cat sitting duties this week. I only have the morning feeding. Justin will catch them at night. I am grateful I only have to do it once a day.

I've been busy making and selling new cards. It's wonderful that the business is starting to pick up again. It's been so slow forever it seems.

Have a great day!

Happy Monday!

 

Good Lordy, it's February already! Where is the year going? I've been down and out for a few weeks off and on with this darn cold and chest cough. It gets a little better and then I start with the coughing again! And believe me, at my age, coughing and trying not to pee is a problem!

We are all doing fine. Larry is still looking for a job, but they are still going on their Disney trip on Friday! I hope they have a wonderful time. It's a fun thing to do! Evan and Mandy are suppose to find out what sex the baby is this week, and her Mother is coming to visit next weekend. See, life just keeps on rolling along!

Barry is off to his work place today to see what's up with his hours. It appears they have changed them, but didn't tell Barry! Nice. I'm off today and trying to create some more new cards. I have been on a roll the last few days and I don't want to break the spell!

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
