Thankful Thought: So happy that I  save things on my phone... you know just in case.

So today's project is something I created sometime ago for a wedding present. I took a clock I purchased and took it apart and gave it a new look. I used some pattern paper in my stash,  some sticker numbers and colored some sweet little Marci images to adorn the face of the clock.

Please forgive the lighting of the photo...I know it is not the best.

Make It Happen-2016

Hello my friends! I am having quite the struggle being consistent lately...or better yet to begin being consistent. My have things gotten in the way lately...but overall when I look back they are life things and I am totally fine with what has come my way...I just will be very happy to get settled into a routine for awhile and get some motivation pumping. With that being said...hubby and I are on vacation this week and I will be getting that motivation going next week when I get home! Haha!

I want to leave you with a few of the reasons that things have been askew lately...and I do think and know this...never be so wrapped up in your schedule, things to get done, or things planned that you forget about the relationships in your life! Life is short, live it to the fullest!!!

my good friend Kim who I am so thankful for

Birthday Card #1

Hello my friends! I am almost back to my regularly scheduled postings. I am switching things up a bit this week because I have a post over at Scrapbook Blessings Club...you could head over there if you want...lots of cool stuff, great challenges, great tutorials, and all around great people that share great creative items! I will post my Make It Happen-2016 post for this week on Wednesday.

Beginning in January the first 3 months of the year for me are slammed with various birthdays in my family. I have not been on time getting cards to the recipients but I am working hard at doing that!

So here is card #1 for the share!

I was very excited to use some of these items as they were brand new to me and had not been sitting in my stash forever before using them.

Supplies Used:

My Favorite Things: Circle Burst Stencil

Tim Holtz Distress Inks

Bo Bunny : Altitude 6x6

Sorry but I do not remember the stamp set the penguins came from

Paper Smooches: make a wish stamp came from a set with this company

(all of my stuff is still packed from being with my grandkids this past week) 

Did I disappear?

No I have not disappeared off the face of the planet or been abducted by aliens!

I have totally discovered that I just cannot keep up with a posting schedule when my regular schedule is disrupted. So, I will only post when I am at home or have things caught up and can schedule my posts ahead of time. Thanks so much for understanding!

As for where I have been this past week...I have been keeping these 3 little aliens and hauling them all over creation (football practice, football games, cheer practice, baseball practice, school, and to stay with Papa one night as it is very difficult to be two places at once). I kept them so their parents could go on a much needed vacation getaway and reconnect! So thankful I am able to be a blessing!

Valentine Series: Card #7

This is the last Valentine Card in my series...I am kind of sad about this cause I certainly did not do it justice. But, hey life happens doesn't it? So, my thought to this is to pick myself up and just move on and strive to do better in the future.

Thankful Thought: I am glad I have the relationship that I do with my daughter in law...it is nice to be able to help her out and bless her with something I am confident in doing.
