Thank Ewe (again)!

One can't have enough thank you cards on hand. I like to have a supply of them at school because once in a while I get a little gift from my little darlings (no I don't mean my own two kids) and this way I won't forget to thank them if I have these cards on hand. So, I think winter has returned to Chicago. We are supposed to get another 3 inches of snow tonight. I'm praying real hard the weather man was wrong. We haven't had snow for a while now and it's been great. But this is normal for this neck of the woods. One day it's in the 60's and the next day it's snowing, go figure!
Last night was prom night around here. Casey went to her junior prom and had a blast. As soon as I get some pictures on the computer I'll post one. I know it was early for prom but it was just a junior prom. The girls (and guys) looked so nice, but boy have the dresses changed since I went (as Casey say, "back in the day"). So this past week we had prom and we also got our drivers license. What a week! I don't know if I like this driving business yet. She seems to find any excuse to go out just to drive. Casey even offered to drive her brother to his friends house.
Before she didn't even know he still lived with us. Teenagers!! What do you expect! Anyway, have a great week and thanks for stopping by!!

Thank You!

So, last night I found my mojo (finally). I had to make a bunch of thank you cards for my kids to send out. They each just had birthdays and Dan made his Confirmation ( I didn't expect him to receive any gifts). Now that the cards are made the next task is to get them to jot down a note in each one and send it out. That'll be the hardest part. Oh well! Now I'm off to my second job these days, bingo. I help out at a school that does bingo. We have alot of fun. High School tuition has to be paid somehow!! So have a great day and Happy Spring!!

Get Well (yes, again)!

Another get well card. Just a quick post for now. I am in the middle of making cards and had to check something out on the web first so I thought I'd post this one and run. Once I get my mojo going I can't stop for even a minute. Lately it's taking a lot to find it. So, have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Thank Ewe!!

Here is one of my favorite thank you stamps I have. I've used it quite a bit. The patterned paper is from Archivers (and my scrap drawer) the rest of the paper is SU. So, this is a big weekend here in Chicago. We have a huge Irish population here in Chitown so needless to say Let the Parades Begin!! Casey is in one of the parades with her marching band. Now all we have to do is pray for nice weather and I mean temps above 50. Otherwise it's a cold day. This is just a short, quick post. Have a great weekend and TOP OF THE MORN' TO YA!!

Under the Weather

Just a quick post today. I stayed home from school this week a few days so I was busy making cards. Here is one I paper pieced. Sometimes I think the image turns out better when you do it this way. I really like how this card turned out. The image is from MFT. The paper I'm not too sure about, it was in my scrap drawer. Off to run many errands. Tomorrow my son makes his confirmation and all he wants special to eat afterwards is Oreo pie from Bakers Square. That's an easy one to do. So, I'm off to buy some pie. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Get Well

Here is a really simple card I made for a neighbor of mine. Isn't this little guy cute?! I think he is an SU image (I was at a friends house when I stamped him and can't remember where he is from).
Once again, the public schools around here are off for the day (Casimer Pulaski day) and my school is not. That's okay, I have a great class this year. Anyway, thanks for stopping by.

What a Cutie Pie!

You can never have enough birthday cards for kids. Every time I send one birthday card out low and behold another birthday sneaks up. I guess that comes with being from a family of 11 children and oodles of nephews and neices. So I like to stock up on birthday cards. Now sending them is another story. Anyway, This cutie pie girl stamp is from a CTMH set. I have no homework tonight and it's pouring outside (thank God it's not snow!) so I guess it's a great night to scrap. I'm off to get something done tonight!! Thanks for stopping in!!

Looking For Spring!!

I just the SU stamp set with all the different petals (I'm not sure the name of it). I borrowed it from a fellow stamper and this is what I came up with (so far). I decided to stamp a sentiment on the left side when I am ready to use it, I just couldn't decide what I wanted it for. The paper is SU riding hood red and the petals were stamped on paper from an Archivers pack. Anyway, on to more stampin'.
By the way, here in Chicago we were teased the last two weeks with some pretty good weather, 50's and 60's. However, yesterday was another story. We had another snow storm and more snow was dropped on us. ENOUGH WITH THE SNOW! Thank goodness we purchased a snowblower this past fall. So have a great week and I am going to pray that all this melts as fast as it came. Thanks for stopping by!!

Cheers!!

Well, here is my last card I have made to post. I had better get busy stampin'. We are off school this Monday so I have plans to stamp with a friend of mine. Woo Hoo! So, if you are from Illinois then tomorrow is a special day around here. It is Abe Lincoln's 200 birthday. My school has many awesome activities planned for the day, including balloons all throughout the school. At 12:00 noon there will be bells ringing statewide. It's sort a cool. My class is really getting into Abe Lincoln and having a blast with fun facts about him. I know, I probably sound corny, but that's the teacher in me. Oh and by the way it's also my son's birthday tomorrow. He will be 14 and he has the "I'm so cool" attitude that goes along with it. Fun, huh?! I don't know how my parents made it through 11 teenagers. Anyway, have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Treats

Just a quick post today. It's been a long day and these old bones are heading to bed. Today was the 100th day of school and in first grade it's a BIG deal . Our children came to school dressed up like they were 100 years old. What a hoot!! You should have seen them, canes, walkers, housecoats and powder in their hair to make it look gray. We even had a visit by a 100 year old great grandma. Then we strolled through all the classrooms throught the school and a ton of fun 100 day activities in the afternoon. It was a blast and the children really enjoy the day. Now only 76 more days left.
This card isn't one of my favorites. The image is a fun one from MFT but I just don't like the colors or even the way it turned out. I thought I would post it anyway because I am running low again on cards. So, thanks for stopping by and a have a great rest of the week!!
