Cool Co-worker

Thought I would share another wonderful ornament

created by Laura Sunderland. She is friend and co-worker

at Harbor Beach Community Hospital.

This ornament represents the online group I belong to.

For the last two years I have spent a weekend in March

with some wonderful ladies I have met on the Internet.

Special women who meet and chat, while making beautiful cards

and altered items.

They are a terrific group of women!

Shower gift

I made another knot blanket for a girl at work.

She is due soon with her first baby, a boy.

I found some great looking fleece at Walmart, and just

knew this would make a great shower gift.

Love the colors!

Family Weekend

Mom, Jo and the kids were up this weekend for a visit.

This is the first time this year, they haven't been

here since before Christmas.

The highlight of each visit besides seeing

Auntie Kim and Uncle Dan is riding the 4-wheeler.

Jo and Shawn were showing off Shawn's strength.

Shawn, a Freshman this year, will be playing varsity

football at John Glenn High School, as a sophmore next year.

He's 15, and taller than everyone in the family.

I Know I'm Late......

I realize I'm late with the Easter cards, but I couldn't

help myself. I found these stamps at

WhipperSnapperdesigns.com

I just couldn't find an Easter stamp that I liked til I found these.

The one above is woodless, red rubber with Tak-it Over on the back.

Using the Tak-it Over I was able to stick it to my acrylic block

and stamp away.

The card above used an clear acrylic stamp

from the same website.

They have a wonderful selection of stamps and a gallery

full of ideas.

Using Prisma Pencils and Mineral Spirits,

I was able to color these really easy.

I also used Stampin Up! paper, ink, and edge punch.

Cute Note Holder

I recently purchased some 4 x6 "calendar cases" to alter and give as gifts. I purchased mine from Papertreyink.com,
but looking at their website, they no longer have them.

So I did find some at Calendar-case.com
I noticed they offer a variety of sizes, so I will be
ordering some more from them soon.

The Post-it note pads inside are from Wal-mart out of their
clearance isle. They fit just perfectly, and I decorated
the cases with coordinating paper.

Mother's Day Card

I made the following cards for Mother's day.

I used mostly Stampin Up! cardstock, inks, stamps,

and edge punch.
The stamped image is from a set of stamps I
received from a friend on Splitcoast Stampers.

To get the raised impression of flowers, I used

Fun Flock. Using tacky glue I sprinkled this over the image

after coloring and let dry. I realize it's hard to see, but

it was alot of fun to use.

Too all the wonderful mom's in the world......

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Her love is like an island in life's ocean, vast and wide

A peaceful, quiet shelter

From the wind, the rain, the tide.

'Tis bound on the north by Hope,

By Patience on the West,

By tender Counsel on the South

And on the East by Rest.

Above it like a beacon light

Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;

And thro' the changing scenes of lifeI find a haven there.
