Summer is Here

Well if you can say Summer arrived in SD now is the time to say it. We have been busy enjoying the pool, DH's fire pit, gardening and in general just cleaning up the place. We have been to the zoo, fair and movies and have had fun as a family however the toll I have to pay with more activity is not fun. DH went to pick up some patches for me this AM when he takes D to the Dentist...(Lidoderm- they really help my hips do not do anything for my back). The girls and I entered many craft projects in the fair this year on Wednesday we plan on going back to see what type of ribbons they have won. Even little J was in on the action with handmade soaps she entered her little frogs and turtles. I have been working on projects for this event with the girls and some for myself the ones I have not scanned or taken pics of I will show when they come home.

For my card I broke out PTI's With Sympathy set, if you need a brilliant sympathy stamp set I totally recommend this one and SU's Praying for You.

I was so happy to find a snipet of my Mother's hand writing and it looks marvelous on this page. LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I so hate my personal handwriting but understand how important it will be to my family later in life, I have really been trying to scrapbook more in my own handwriting and it is a struggle.

Totally can't express to you how much these photos and the meaning of this page has for me simply beautiful.

This page was made for the Faih Sisters Challenge you can find it {here}

With Sympathy

I have such an aversion to making sympathy cards along with masculine cards they are the two most difficult classifications of cards for me. I have the most awesome set from PTI and have only inked it up twice. Well the other day that changed, I put some raspberry fizz ribbon with the true black and was on my way. I love how simple this card was to create and how beautiful it became.

SCA3C15 Still Black and Blue

It has been one rough week around here with myself being sick with the Flu and just this am little J coming down with it. I feel so bad for her, laying on the couch like a dishrag in need of folding. It is hard to keep this one down, you know when she is acting like this something is up. She is only 3, we are limited on what type of cough and cold medicine to give her other then TLC and some Motrin every 6 hours. I have managed to finish a project that I started last week before the sickies came to visit, just put the finishing touches on it today using some new PTI goodies...
