Little Pink Flowers

Forever, For Eternity

That's what is engraved on the inside of my wedding ring.  Andy and I wrote our own wedding vows and that's how he ended his. 

I purchased this Bella stamp quite some time ago and just got around to using it.  Guess who's valentine card this is going to be??? *wink*

The card itself is very plain but I didn't want to take away from the matt, ribbon and glitter that surround the main image.  It looks so elegant IRL.

Are you getting ready to show the one you love how much they mean to you?

Simply Special

I recieved this beautiful card from Julie with a very nice message inside that really brightened my day!

Thanks Jules!

I usually don't participate in these things (I'm so sorry) its not because I don't appreciate you thinking of me, just because I'm so busy and the same questions come around so often that I can't think of anymore quirky or little known facts about myself - well at least not ones that I want the general public to know about - LOL!

Anyway, my blogging friend Charlene tagged me with this photo tag and I LOVED the idea!  The rules are that you need to go to where ever you store your pics on your computer and upload the 6th pic from the 6th folder.  LOVE IT!  Here is mine:

 

I, like Charlene, cannot believe that this was the pic I found!  I was so looking forward to uploading a beautiful pic of one of my boys - LOL.  Anyway, this is our laundry room/half bath pre-renos when we moved into out home.  Here is the after pic:

  A tiny bit better hey!  LOL

So the really funny part about this story is that I was so proud of myself because I was going to challenge you to make a card using your photo as inspiration - but when I saw that photo - YIKES!  I'm thinking that card would be pretty nasty  - LOL!

I'm tagging my friends Julie, Jacque, Charmaine, Jodi, Christi, and Jessica!  Don't cheat girls - OBVIOUSLY, I didn't! LOL!

Just Because I Love You

Being the Mom of a teenage boy is a bit of a challenge (especially when his Dad is away working).  Isaiah has always been a really great kid!  Very easy to parent but I do have to admit that I'm finding it difficult to find a balance between being a parent and yet making sure he knows that as he approaches adulthood we can be friends too.  Sometimes the parenting part overshadows the other!!!  Don't get me wrong - I think kids need their parents to be parents!

Anyhow, I wanted to make Isaiah a card just to let him know that no matter what changes - my love for him will never change!  I came up with this:

 

Go hug a teenager!

Sealed With A Kiss

We are so excited everytime we get one of our sets in Rubbah - the images are so much crisper - we just love them and are very happy to be offering you top quality rubber stamps.  Here is a card I made with this set.  It is so versatile for any "loving" occasion - Valentines, Anniversary, Wedding, Engagement, or just to say I love you to that special someone!  We have also released a new sentiment set to go with Sealed with a Kiss that has 5 new sentiments made especially with this set in mind!

 

Now go find someone you love and Pucker UP!!
