Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Last weekend, I made some little treats to send off to my “kids.” While they are grown up, they still enjoy Easter treats, so I made up small care packages for both of them and their significant others. I have to admit that I didn’t have a lot of time, so these are pretty simple, but at least I got them done and mailed!!! Yay! Tami White posted some… Read More »

Just Breathe

It’s finals time for my daughter and her boyfriend in college!!! That can be such a stressful time of year, especially with the holidays looming. I know they’ll both do great, but I also know they both love getting little surprises to lift their spirits. This past weekend, I worked on putting together some “finals” care packages with fun treats to let them know we’re thinking of them and wishing… Read More »

Rustic Birthday

This week was my son’s 23rd birthday!!! Yikes! It’s crazy to think about it. The years go by way too fast. He was just a little kid, and then in a blink of an eye, he’s already graduated from college and is starting a life on his own. So today, I wanted to share his birthday card with you. I had a lot of fun making this card. It uses… Read More »

I make eight sets each year to share with close family and friends. They fit in a standard size frame and everyone… Read More »

Beachy Birthday

My Brother-In-Law is celebrating his birthday this week, and he’s a really great guy, so I wanted to make an extra special card for him. He lives in Southern California and enjoys relaxing (like all of us!) So, I thought why not create a beach themed card for him? I love the lounge chairs from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and thought they would make a great centerpiece for this… Read More »
