Sharing, Caring Cards From Friends


Today I'm sharing some beautiful cards that I received in the mail this week from friends. Aren't they wonderful! I got some more yesterday and I'll share those tomorrow. Linda sent Tilda, Sheri sent the little girl with the fun hat, and Gretchen sent the St Patty's Day card. Like I said, special!
Yesterday afternoon Barry and went to lunch with some special ladies as well. Tina (DIL), Madelyn, and her cousin Meritt. We love them all to death. Tina took us to the Supper Salad Bar. They have the best skinny pizza!
I did get a few cards made and will upload them later to ebay. I also got some fun things from the Whimsie Doodles design group. We're doing something fun on Saturday, so be sure to come back for that. HINT****Dig out an animal stamp!
Have a great day!

Happy St Patty's Day!

I know, it's not a beer drinkin' card, but it is a fun one anyway! I love this saying. It's Whimsie Doodles March release. I'm still having fun playing with my new toys!
In the last two days I've gotten so many wonderful cards and treats in the mail from friends. I will take pictures of them all and post those so you can see what beautiful gifts I've gotten. It really means so much to me to know that all these people care about me and my mental health. Maybe I should say what little is left of it! I've had friends tell me that they see a bright future for us, that they see the end of the long dark road. I've had friends tell me they are praying for us. I can't say how much all of this matters to me. It's really beyond words the love I have felt. Thank you so much. On a lighter note, I'd be happy if just one friend would send the winning Power Ball numbers! I'm happy to share with my 100 close friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm trying to create something today. I got one card done and only a few dozen left to go. I've sold a lot of Easter cards in my ebay store, but with the lower price, I have to sell double to make any money. So now I'm off to stamp.
Take care my friends and readers. You are all loved!

Thank You For Your Love

Thank you friends for bearing with me and my troubles. Your kindness is what gets me through the dark times. Nothing has really changed. We're still in deep money trouble, and I don't know how that will end any time soon, but just knowing you care is wonderful and a blessing.
Hugs,

Break Needed


I'll be taking a blogging break for a few days. I really in need of some down time right now. Things aren't going well at all for us and I need to figure out how to get out from that black cloud that seems to never leave my side. Every day it's something new that comes along. I honestly don't know how to handle it anymore and so I thought I'd take a few days off. Please keep us in your prayers that an answer will come or at least a job for Barry.

Blessing,

P

My Pot Of Gold?

I keep looking, but I don't seem to be able to find it. I keep hearing stories on the tube about people finding theirs. "They" keep saying follow your dreams. Now is the time. It's a perfect time. So I keep looking. Ok, so now I've found the friends, but I still want the gold. I think I should be able to have both!
This card is made using digi stamps from Whimsie Doodles. If you've never tried them before, you can do so now and you'll be hooked! One of the fun things about digi stamps it that you can resize them to what you need. It's just another path in this fun craft. Do I love the smell of new rubber stamps? YES! I just like having it all! The plaid paper is from Basic Grey.
So what's up today? I have to finish working on my budget (joke) so Evan can see where he can help some more. There really is no budget. I just wing it at this time. I had money yesterday, but then we thought it would be nice to eat, and since we eat 3 meals a day at home, we went shopping for food at Wally World. We now have food, but no money! It's one or the other! At least I have 2.06 left! All I can say is sell, sell, sell!
The sun is coming out now and it's going to warm for a change today. I think I'll enjoy every minute of it and that will be my word of the day!
Hugs,

Dollar Daze


That's right, this card was made using a $ stamp from J's. I love it and I love how the card turned out. I saw a post over at Lisa Johnson's blog where she made a card using a similar layout and had to give it a try. I used some SU pp that I was send by my friend Pat. It's so pretty paired up with this stamp. The bling is from M's Dollar stuff as well. I'm just full of cheap stuff today! Notice the lace? More of that binding tape lace.
Today is Monday and I wonder just how crazy it can get. I was glad to see last week end. We had too many bad things happen. I'm sure more things will happen to make it a memorable week. They all seem to be these days, but I hope it waits a while before something bad happens. Money is always my #1 problem, and today is no different. Bills, food, gas, and medicine. Wouldn't it be nice for a change if you didn't have to worry what is going to be cut off for now. Hey, don't mind me...it's grey out today and I miss the sunshine. Life is always better in the sun. That's why Barry needs a job in Hawaii. I need the SUN!
Hugs and love to all,
