Happy Engagement

A good friend of mine is getting married and the shower is today. So here is the card I made to go with the gift we got her. The image is a Bella and the inside says "Welcome to the wedded bliss club!" That is an SU stamp. The heart paper is from DCWV and the rest is SU. She works with us and I think we are enjoying her engagement as much as she is. Anyway, I know this is a short post but at least I posted. I'm sure you have noticed that they are far and few between with my posts. Lately it's hard to find time to make cards, I'm already looking forward to spring break. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

Miss You

Sorry if this isn't the best picture. However, this really is a cute card. I made it for a friend of mine to send to her son in the army. The image is from MFT. On another subject, has anyone else out there been getting strange comments left on the posts? I have. I don't know where they are coming from but they creep me out so I delete them right away. On another note, we've had a ton of snow the last few days but not as much as out east. So noone around here is complaining too much. Anyway, enjoy the rest of the week and thanks for stopping by.

Batter's Up!

Isn't this guy cute?! He is from Rubbernecker Stamps. This card was made for my nephew who turned 6. He loves to play ball. The pictures lately haven't turned out that great. Sometimes if I zoom in too close they are all blurry and I don't notice it until I print the picutes. Maybe it's time for a new camera (or photographer). Anyway, enjoy the card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Warm Winter Hello

Just when I thought the snow was gone (everything melted) it snowed again today. I know, it's January in Chicago but a girl can hope!! I thought this would be a good card for a day like today. The snowman image is from Rubbernecker. It's a good one. I haven't done much stampin' lately, I've been getting headaches like crazy lately. Once the headache hits there's no doing anything. As soon as the headaches are under controll I'll get back to the stamps. Pray that it very soon.
So, have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

Think Pink

Here is a card I made for my neighbor who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. The stamp set is from MFT. The pink paper is from SU and the rest is left over paper I had. I just wanted to let her know we are praying for her. Well, we're back in the swing of school again after the holidays and it feels like I never even had a break. However, we are off this coming Monday for MLK day. Yippee!! It sure sounds like I don't like going to school. That's not true. It's just nice to have a Monday off now and then. I'm hoping to get some stampin' done this weekend. So, have a great weekend and day off on Monday (if you are one of the lucky ones)!

Patriotic Cards, Why Now?!

I'm sure you're wondering why these cards this time of year. Well, our kindergarten teacher's son joined the army and my class adopted him and will be sending him cards and pictures over the next many months. He came in to visit our class before Christmas and the kids were excited to meet him and put a face to the soldier we'll be sending things to. So here are some cards I made for his mom to send to him. I made several more cards and will post them as time goes on. They are not all patriotic. I'm sure he will appreciate any mail he receives. The kids are all excited to be sending letters to him.

Well, we here in Chicago are in for another major snowstorm tomorrow and the rest of the week. Of course, right when we all go back to school after the holidays. I wasn't feeling well the whole time off (severe migraines) and today is the first day I feel better and now I have to do school work, go figure! So I'm off to get something done. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday, Mike!

This is a birthday card I made for my brother Michael. He turned 60, yikes!! All the paper is from SU, the stamp is from Great Impressions and the ribbon is from Target's dollar bin (it's self stick). So, how was everyone's New Years Eve? Mine was very uneventful. I have a major sinus infection and have had a headache since Monday. So I've been sleeping alot and 2010 came and went and I didn't even know it. I'm trying to get some stamping in here and there. Anyway, have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Beauty Queen of '09

Isn't she a riot! This is another Rubbernecker image. The inside of the card says, If You've Got It, Flaunt It! How true. The paper is SU, the ribbon is from Michaels. I colored her in with my Prisma pencils. When I saw her I just had to have her. So we're down to the end of '09. I sure hope 2010 brings good things for everyone. I think we are planning on staying home for New Year's Eve. I think I would rather be at home then out somewhere and have to drive home with all the crazies on the road (plus, sometime I can't stay awake late, lame, I know!). So, have a great New Year's Eve and enjoy the night. Thanks for stopping by.

I Don't Do Mornings!!

I just love this image from Rubbernecker stamps. She's such a happy person!! If you haven't checked out their stamps you'll need to. I colored her in with my Prisma watercolors. The paper is SU and the floral paper is from my scrap drawer. the sentiment inside says, I don't do mornings, heck I don't do afternoons, either!
By the way, I did try pumpkin pie. You should have seen it. My aide set up two chairs in front of the class, one for me and one for the kindergarten teacher (who also hasn't tried it). We each had a forkful and chased it down with pop. The kids were histerical watching us. It wasn't a pretty sight and by the way, neither one of us liked it. I let one of the little girls come up and try it and when we gave her a forkful she held her nose. It was so funny to see a 6 year old holding her nose and trying to eat pumpkin pie. What a sight! Needless to say we have a ton of fun and laughs in our classroom (and yes, we do get work done)!
So, I hope everyone has a great holiday and as always, thanks for stopping by!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Woo, hoo!!

Believe it or not, we have one more day left of school before 2 weeks off. Woo, Hoo!!! I know, most of you are probably off by now and I am jealous. Don't ask me why we are still in, I don't know. However we dont go back until Wednesday the 6th. That's the good part. Anyway, here is another Christmas card very much like the last one. I really liked the paper and the stamp so I thought I might as well make all my cards with this paper. I really hoping to get alot of stamping done over break. I have quite a few orders to fill.
Okay, want to hear a good one?! The kids in my first grade class all agreed to try to eat something new at Thanksgiving dinner. I also agreed to try pumpkin pie, I have never even tried it because I think it looks just gross (I'm sure it's not). Well, the day came and went and I just couldn't come to taste it. Being the honest teacher I am, I admitted to my class that I didn't try it. So today one of the kids asked when I will try it and my most WONDERFUL aide and very dear friend offered to bring some pumpkin pie to school tomorrow for me to try in front of the class. I think I feel the flu coming on. What do you think?! So I'll let you know whether I tasted it, liked it or was grossed out by it. It should be an interesting day in first grade tomorrow.
So, that's it for the week. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy!!
