Dont get so close to change my mind

Lots and lots to share. I am going to have to start posting every few days just to catch up! Let me start out by saying there is a new prompt up at Simply artistic. Here is the card I made for it.
As you can tell we are putting birds on our ATC's. I love birds. Make sure to come play along with us. If you do leave me a link on my blog and I will come leave you some love!

Also a new prompt up for The Creative Type.
Used the new Girls Paperie line for this one. I love buying things at the thrift store including clothes. Being a out of work mother of 4 it has become a regular thing...But I love it! So what is your style?

Went to Columbia state park this weekend with my mom, sister and daughter. We had a wonderful time even tho it rained all day Saturday. I know I may be a big nerd for loving to play dress up, but I totally do. I don't care. I accept it with no problem. Haha!


They had an totally wicked awesome cape I got to wear. It was wonderful! I wanted to take it home and wear it always. I know, nerd.


My fav part of course was the beautiful memories I created with my family. My daughter and I laughed so very hard Saturday night. My sides and cheeks hurt from the sillyness that in sued.


I have to give all the credit to my mom because without her it wouldn't have happened. I love her to bits and she is a pretty cool lady too.




I did however miss my husband to no end. My phone didn't work great so I wasn't able to text him all that much and I couldn't get online at all. It was crazy. Most of the time I really felt like I was in 1852! Ha! When I was able to get texts here and there he always made me feel so very special and loved and missed.

I came home to a clean and organized house. It was totally freakin awesome! He also went down to the flea market and bought me my most very fav snack.


♥Lemon salt pistachios.♥

To top it all off I got out of the shower to find these on my pillow.(the pretty flowers in my vase)


Yeah pretty wicked great right?

I had such a great weekend. I am truly blessed. Now off to catch up on deadlines and 21st century things.

♥♥♥

The words so sweet

New atc for ya. Have you jumped on this tiny art fun bus yet? You really should. It is a great way to use all those extra scraps you have and a lot less time to make.



I made this a while ago. It was for a dt inspiration page we did at AMM. Love my iPhone and my friend Kristi Lewis snapped this photo of me playing with my phone at a crop. It really should be attached to my hand permanently. Hehe!

I have been so blah last week. Haven't hardly done a darn thing. I say hardly. I did manage to make cupcakes. Big surprise right? HA! These ones are Mint Chocolate chip and I used my sweet Mother's day presents my husband bought me.



I truly am blessed. My hubby listens to me and knows what makes me tick. He is such a sweet man. He made my mom and I bbq and I made her boston cream pie cupcakes.



They turned out delish. I used Martha's cake recipe, this cream recipe and this ganache.

How was your Mother's Day?

I just cant get enough

I had a jam packed fun filled weekend. I met up with Jenny T and Tricia W. Even though it was only a few hours I had a really good time. Went to the mall shopped a bit.

Made some jokes at the poor sales persons expense.

Tried on a few hats.

Ate a Monte Cristo.

Bought a picnic basket at the thrift store for $4.00
(pics will be shown soon)

Laughed and said hella way to much.

Saturday spent the day doing a little creating and a whole lot of nothing. Hehe! Aren't those the best days? I think so. Here is a peek of what I made.
Used more of my 35lb box of fun. This was inspired by my cousin. I cant wait to show it off on NSD.

Sunday we went to a BBQ for one of my husbands old friends. She moved back and he hadn't seen her in at least 18 years. I have never met her before so I was a little worried as to how the day was going to be. A lot of his other old friends were going to be there, ones I have met. Thank goodness I made friends with one of these said old friends wife, Erika. She really made me feel at ease and made the day so fun. I enjoyed myself immensely and I think made a few more friends. That's always a good thing.I cant wait for the next get together/bbq.

Lastly I have some fun and inspiring things to share. New prompt is over at Simply Artistic.
Put a bird on it. I did. *side note~ my last card made it on the Lily bee blog.*

The Creative type has a new fun prompt up.


Inspiring you with their other languages. Ha!

So I know I told you my next cupcake would be a boston cream pie but I forgot about Cinco De Mayo. A little change of plans. We are going to celebrate this year and I am going to make Churro cupcakes. MMMMM! Hubby is going to make Tamales and I am thinking something else (cuz I am not a fan) & seven layer dip. Gotta get some fiesta-ness going on in this house. Hoping to have everything spring cleaned by then. Wish me luck.

Looking at this post I feel so blessed. I don't have everything I want or even need, but what I do have is an abundance of love. I have heard that that is all you need. Yes, blessed.

When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it

As I sit and try to type out this blog post my kids are fighting. Constant. I need to make myself a referee shirt. Sheesh! Anyway stuff to share. After all that's what a blog is for right? Sharing. Reminds me of show and tell as a kid. *wink*

The new ATC prompt is up at Simply Artistic. I have to tell you I wasn't much of a ATC fan in the beginning of this little adventure. Doing these prompts has made me love them a little more each time. They are so easy to whip up and so very cute. Wouldn't you agree? Come and play and be inspired! (*used the April AMM kit*)

Kept forgetting to post my flea market finds from a few weekends ago.I finally remembered. The books were .25 each. Awesome deal. The little milk glass dish= 1.00.Love it to bits.
These glass door knobs were 2 for 7.00. That was the most I have ever spent at the Flea market for something vintage BUT they are at least 10 each in a antique store so I got a really good deal. I am going to use them as curtain tie backs.


& lastly I made these strawberry shortcups for work last weekend. They had a potluck and I wanted to show off my baking skillz.I got the recipe off Martha Stewart. I wasn't really impressed with them at first. I felt they were missing something.
So I added my own special spin on them. I cut a small circle out of the top and filled it with homemade strawberry puree. This of course is why I call them Strawberry shortcups. They were delish. Sweet. Perfect.

Next on my Cupcake list...Nutella cupcakes. YUM.

If I think to hard I might lose my mind

April fools day came and went. Did you pull any epic jokes? The only thing I did was told the kids the ps3 was broke AGAIN. They totally believed me and were upset. LOL! I felt a little evil but it was funny.

I had a little adventure Saturday. Cropped with my buddies Diane and Kristi. We had a blast.

Can you tell?

This little moostash prop is from GCD.

Love it. I can't wait for my box of goodies so I can scrap these pictures with the new papers.

The huge mess I made. You would think with such a BIG mess something great came out of it right? Wrong...I did manage to start on a mini book and get one page done.


Wow really you are saying...Yeah really. How can one sit there for hours and hours and do so little. I have no clue. I just do not work well with others. Haha! I have to have my tiny little studio to get my creativity going. I go to crops tho not for the works but for the friendship. My girls nights. Love them.

BTW the new prompt is up over at Simply Artistic. Tara is our guest again. Here is my take.
Who wouldn't wanna trade with Tara? Come play and you might be lucky enough to.

One more thing before you go. The new AMM kit is up and it is awesome. Of course.
I can't wait to play with all those lovely Lily Bee papers and Crate goodies! Fabulous no?

NSD is coming up soon. Any plans?
