More Graduation and Prom Pics!!

Casey had a great time at prom. She went with the same boy she took to homecoming her freshman year. What a difference from freshman year. The dresses were unbelievable. The color this year was blue. After checking out all the prom pictures blue was the most popular. So, this is what has been keeping me so busy lately along with high school baseball for Danny. Now its time to relax ( and get ready for college).

Graduation Day

This is one of the activities we've been busy with these days. My daughter, Casey, just graduated from High School on Saturday. It couldn't have been a better day. The weather was in the low 80's and sunny. She is on to college and she can't wait to go!!

Happy Birthday!

Yes, I am still alive. I have been just so busy and haven't had much time to do any cards or scrappin'. After a busy weekend of graduation and parties I don't want to go anywhere but to my scrap room. So this is what I came up with. I still have 8 more days of school left , Woo hoo! It's been mighty hot around here and that makes for a very long day with the kids. I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend, it hasn't stopped raining here since about 1a.m. Oh, well! Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Now,who wouldn't want a pile of gifts like this on her birthday?! I made this card for my niece who turned 15. The image is a Bella (one of my favorites), the paper is SU and the ribbon is from Target. I colored her in with my prismas. This is one of my favorite stamps, Iuse it so often for cards, so sorry if you see her quite often on here. Anyway, off to get some shuteye and back to school tomorrow. Have a great week.

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.
