My day adventures today took my son and I to

old st. charles... Wish you could see what a beautiful day it was today... a little breezy, but just beautiful... My son and I took a long walk around old St. Charles and also by the old train tracks... I did not get to go to any stores because first of all my son is very curious and likes to touch everything plus it was just tooo nice out to be indoors... We got a bit of ice cream and just enjoyed sitting on one of the benches out there and enjoyed the day and scenery and the cute little birdies that came by us without being scared... We gave them little pieces of our ice cream cones and they loved it....

I was very happy to share this mommy and son time since YES my date to start work is APRIL 10th....... I just found out earlier this afternoon.... I am very happy about it, but also a little sad because it's a week away and actually okay it's on my birthday.... When she told me I was thinking in my mind not on my birthday pls.... OH WELL!!!!!!!! That's life and I am thankful that I at least have a job now.......
Thanks for reading and I hope you had a great day today...............

truly beautiful

just wanted to share with you that TODAY is I swear the most beautiful day I have seen in a while... THE SUN IS BRIGHT, THE GRASS is green and the SKY is the bluest blue...... No cleaning for me today... I am running out to go and enjoy this day I am not going to waste this day, sweeping and washing and vaccuming.........

Hope you enjoy it as well.........HAPPY SPRING

and this creatively beautiful card
was sent to me by Linda H...
check out her blog link on the side over
there called StUDiO StuFf GiRLs..

thanks a bunch LINDA

One of my favorite flowers by the way. 

and a few more simple tags.. 

my friend Jennifer has the same facial
structures as this lady in the picture.
Jennifer I hate to part with this tag, but it's
yours.  

more and more...
Becky and Linda H. one of these is for you... 

a little more 

okay last night I got inspired so here are few pictures of things I made.. Mostly tags or cards...... 

I'm a soccer MOM

Soccer starts in full force this Sat.
Two soccer games, a practice baseball game in between and then in the evening we are taking the kids to see the Steamers play their soccer game... I am going to be soccered out this weekend..... 

buttons, buttons, buttons

I am loving these buttons I bought a
couple of months ago... They come in this little plastic bag, but for the life of me I can't remember who makes them. The colors are great though.. 

woke up today

with a better attitude... Even though we might have rain again today I am feeling great..... I don't mind the rain you know... because it brings life and who doesn't enjoy a good thunderstorm once in a while... the other day it was just me feeling blah, but today I am trying to be my usual normal kooky self... I actually even feel like making something... with all the beautiful inspiring work on all my favorite blogs (on the side bar over there you see it) how can I not want to create today........ I feel a tag or a card wanting to be made..

HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!! love, just me

The sun did come out

thanks ladies for all your nice comments on my gloomy day yesterday.... The beautiful sun did come out today and cheered me up a bit...
I don't know, but I have been in such a rut... I had such a good weekend, but for some reason instead of feeling like I felt on Saturday today I am feeling like I am on cloud ZERO...... I am thankful because nothing bad is going on.... I guess I am feeling like I am in LIMBO waiting around for something to happen.... I did interview today for another insurance company, but it seemed like they were asking me questions that really did not pertain to what I did at my previous job... I don't think they did their homework on my resume and maybe I was not as interested as I thought I was. Plus, their hours would not work around my MOMMY schedule at home.
I don't know. I believe in the phrase it's not meant to be so maybe right now I am where I am supposed to be, but in a way I am kind of stuck in the middle somehow..... floating in the unknown... don't like the feeling.

Thanks Mary Ann

I received this beautiful gift from
my long time friend Mary Ann. Thanks so much for such a great gift.

 

altered cabinet card

I received this great altered card a week ago from my friend Becky........ Just thought I would share her art with YOU. 

rain, rain go away you are making me
depressed again today....  

a few atcs I made a while ago
for a orange/pink swap 

create today..... 

have you hugged a loved one today???? 

what's your favorite color?

My favorite color is green. No, not because
it's the color of money....i'm not that kind of girl.... I really don't know why it's just a beautiful color in my book. 

simple card for someone special.... 

FRIENDSHIP makes memories

MARYANN your little package is ready and
will be on it's way. Thanks again for your friendship
and for all the goodies you sent my way the other day. 

I made this Tag a while ago for a
demo I did at RED LEAD...

Happy belated SPRING......  

I made this card today..... I have been wanting to create for
the last few days and have been in the mood, but also
have not....... So I made this today and I hope you enjoy.

No my usual, but I got inspired by LINDA H. latest
creations and by Pam Garrison.......

Check out their links on the side Pam Garrison and
Studio Stuff Girls.............  

Prayer request PLS

yesterday my friend lori and I decided to get together at the Chocolate Cafe and talk for a while. Out of this friendly visit Lori told me about this man named MIKE (that she doesn't even know she just recently met his sister at the church she attends) has just found out his body is full of cancer and they are just giving him 6 to 8 weeks to live. Can you imagine someone telling you that you only have 6 to 8 weeks to live....... I CAN'T. I don't know his last name all I know is that he just told his children this past week that he has cancer...... Not that he might not be around much longer........

I AM ASKING FOR PRAYER for this man. This is all I can ask...... IF YOU pray pls include him in your daily prayers......... HIS name is Mike........ PLS PLS PLS remember him in your prayers.......... I thank you and GOD BLESS.................
