~Fun Friday~

We had a wonderful birthday yesterday for our son and today is his party. We are going to grab Happy Meal's at McDonalds, over to play Putt-Putt, and back to the house to play, play, play! The card that I have chosen for today is a cute and simple Happy Birthday card with some added treats!!! We are headed off for a week at the beach. I'll post upon my return!!

~Happy, Happy Birthday~

Today is our youngest sons 7th Birthday!!! He is very excited. He put in his order for his birthday cake. This year it couldn't be bought! He wanted a devil's food cake with cream cheese icing~made my me! Well, it is made and frosted.........and he decorated it! He didn't really have anything particular that he wanted for a present, so we're off to Toys R Us later! We may be in there hours while he decides what he would like......(The joys of being 7!) For his birthday meal he has chosen his favorite little BBQ restaurant. His favorite is the beans and rice.....Whew! We will celebrate with Grandma and Pop and cousins later this afternoon, a Putt-Putt party with friends tomorrow, and a birthday party at the BEACH with my parents, sister, and brother next week. So here's to our little one~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!~

I love you!
Mom

Wordless Wednesday

~Thank you~

While traveling on vacation I was amazed at the countryside, cars zooming by, children playing, farmers working the fields, and most of all the beauty of our Earth. We were headed home and at two different churches there were signs that said: "Take time to say Thanks for all God's done for you." That seems like such a given, but it wasn't! I find myself praying to God and asking for guidance, peace, patience, etc...., but I sometimes fail to tell him Thank you! I am so blessed at what God has done for me, my husband, my children, our family, our profession, etc.... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a peaceful and thankful day!

~We're Back!~

We had a fabulous and fun family weekend. The weather was great--not too hot!! The beach was not crowded and the boys loved the ocean. We are already counting down until Saturday. We are headed back to the beach for 8 days with my parents, my sister's family, and my brother and his wife!! We always have a wonderful time and get lots of sun. We will be staying in a large house that is located on a channel, which is great for fishing.

I am sharing a card today that I hope you will like!! I really love how the dimensional adhesives make it pop.

I also have some exciting news to share!! I will be taking a Stamp Club over in July! I am so excited to meet this group of ladies and share my passion for paper crafting and Stampin Up with them!! I met with Kathleen this morning and just felt that this group is a perfect match for me.... Ladies if you're reading this, send me a holler!!!!

Until tomorrow,

Leslie

~We're Headed Here~

We are off to a wonderful beach weekend! This will be a short weekend trip but sure to be loads of fun.. The boys are more than excited. We haven't stayed here before, but it sure looks nice. Have a wonderful weekend and I'll check back in Monday.

Thoughts for Thursday

Today I offered my first card class! I had 4 ladies attend and 1 brought her 5 year old grandchild. Everyone had an awesome time. We made 4 different card designs and a tic-tac gift. I belive everyone had a great time and will be back again. I have posted another scripture series card today. When you are down, out, had it, pooped, or just need uplifting, this is the scripture for you. It is now on ebay for bidding. I started the listing at $2.99. The bella card below and another life quote card are also listed too!

It has lots of dimensions to it! I hope everyone is winding their week down and looking forward to the weekend.

Until Next Time,

Leslie
