I have been busy making cards.. I guess this is
what I have been in the mood to make lately... 

 

my wish to you today

live

laugh

&

love 

okay, I added a few words to the side
of the journal...
LIVE, LAUGH & LOVE now it doesn't
look to plain...........


I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE A DRAWING
and give it away so if you want your name
put in a bag pls leave your name in the comment section and this journal can be yours...

just because........... 

I agree with Linda......Picasa is quite fun and
it lets you play around with your pictures.....
Here is an atc I did a while ago and it was
altered using Picasa funtions.........  

heres a better picture of the
altered journal using scraps of fabric
that Linda very nicely sent me. 

Thanks LINDA for all the great
fabric scraps you sent me and all the
other goodies: buttons, feathers, wire,
etc....

I couldn't wait to use the fabric so I altered
this journal............. 

A BEAUTIFUL surprise in the mail today

A BIG thanks to LInDA for this beautiful
bag she made for me.......

I can't wait to start using it................

I am loving it.................. and my son was so
excited to see his picture on it..............

thanks again Linda 

okay, well forget my previous post I THINK I GOT IT...............

I guess I am not S........ after all.

I just need to add a few more links, but maybe later after my frustration has
gone away.....

MORE BLOG LINKS TO COME yall..

my life update and a GREAT SURPRISE

I just wanted to update you on my crazy life here....... I did get a job... I think I will be starting
maybe in two weeks. I don't have a set date yet, but I am sure I will be getting a call this week sometime from State Farm with my start date.............. Back to the farm I go.... One good thing about getting rehired is that I get my senority back (10 years) and the same pay I was making when I left 4 1/2 years ago to take care of my children......

Another great thing that happened to me today was a big surprise from Linda...... If you go
on my links on the side you will see her blog called studio stuff girls........... She made me this
BEAUTIFUL purse for me........... I truly appreciate it Linda.... You even made it extra special by adding my younger sons picture on it.....

Let me tell you all that LINDA and I have never met.... We met through my blog.... I will appreciate it even more because of that reason.... She is such a special lady that she made this for me not even knowing me personally. For that reason this purse will be cherished and I promise I will take good care of it... I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I really don't know how I will ever repay you. I thank you for your KINDNESS and I truly don't deserve this. God Bless you always!!!!!!!!!!

I am a COMPUTER RETARD

Gosh I have been trying to add some links to my bloggg for a while now....
Can I possibly be that DUMB.....
I guess so because I can't get this.

I am totally FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a big F

a little easter card I made two days ago.
love this bunny...... 

I recently started checking out this blog called
Inspire ME Thursday..........Every week they
add different themes for art that you may want to create.

I think last week was make a piece of art using
your 5 senses. Touch, feel, smell etc.....

This coming week the theme is to create a work of
art not using your senses. Well, here is my
little card I created not doing my usualllllllllllll.....
I love it, but I am kind of finiding it hard not to
want to add something to it. Like ribbon or brads
or something.

Hope you enjoy............

what INSPIRES you!!!!!
