What I Love Most!

Here's my lilaccs, herbs, and trees!

Best Mother's Day!

I usually have sad Mother's Days!. Since my mom passed away they have been very sad and hard to deal with.
This year I was really not looking forward to another sad day.
On Sat. night I went to friends floral shop to visit. It was great to get my mind off the sadness.
They we're all busy doing flowers and I just sat and watched the excitement.
They next morning I went to the cemetary and put roses on my mom's and aunts grave.
( Yes they were beautiful roses my friend put together for me.)
I was a little down so I stopped and picked up some muffins and a lemon danish ring and brought them to the floral shop.
I stayed there and left in a better mood.
I fell in love with this chime with butterflies on it at her shop a month ago. They were holding it for me and I was going to buy it.
Saturday night it was gone and I was going crazy. I thought they sold it on me by mistake.
Well little did I know that my dd had gone in there and bought it for me for mothers day!
I was so happy to get it!
I called my friend and apologised for acting so crazy!!!!!
Now the lesson to be learned is be quiet and wait before you say something , especially if it's a holiday and my dd goes in there.
After the day was almost done , my dh came home. My friend sent home this beautiful vase filled with roses, lilacs, twigs and butterflies. It was so beautiful.
What started off to be a sad day turned out great!
Thanks Mel!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Heather and Z!!!
Thanks Steve!

Another Rainy Day!

Well it's raining again today. It's great for my gardens but not my mood.
It's been a rough week.
I had my Dr. appointment. Went ok but I need some tests done. I've been putting them off but I really need to get them done! They can't wait.
Also I'm worried about someone dear to me. She has to get something done that really worries and scares me. Hopefully we'll have good news! I can only pray and hope for the best!
Then just deal and help her as much as I can.
I know I won't stop worrying about her but I can try to make it better for her by being by her side!
Well hopefully this rain will stop by the weekend. I need to get in my gardens. That always puts me in a great mood. It's my relaxing time after a bad week!
Have a great week everyone!

Have a great weekend everyone!
This card is a very simple card. If I get accepted as a chemo angel this will be one I'll be sending!

Happy Thursday Everyone !

I hope everyone is having a great week. Mine has been busy. I'm hoping to get more cards done.
I just signed up for Chemo Angels. I should here back in about 6 weeks.
I know, just yesterday I said there wasn't enough hours in the day!
Well you know me, I like doing for others.
I'll be able to make cards every week for this person. It will be great. I hope they accept me.
I love making inspirational cards so this will be great!

Busy Week !

I've had a busy week so far. I've been making Easter Candy. That takes up alot of my time. Between making candy, making cards, playing outside with Grandson and chatting with my neighbor on the swing, I realize I don't have enough hours in the day.
As you can see, my blog has been changed to this beautiful new background. Thank God for my online friends, One of them made this background and they both worked hard to make it beautiful for me.
I'm lucky to have such great new friends!
Thank you Rita and Penny!
With the weather getting better I'm starting to work in my yard. I have alot of gardens to take care of.
Also I'm planning a cookout for May. I'm making it smaller this year. Just a few people. It was big last year but this year I need to cut back a little bit.
So that should be interesting. I probably shouldn't have it at all but I want to.
I'm still working on my scrapbook room. I still need to finish painting!!!!!
Wish it could paint itself!!!!!
Well I think I'll take the little one outside for awhile before his mom picks him up.

Thank You Rita And Penny!

I want to thank both of you for this beautiful layout background.
Rita I'm so glad I met you. You are such a wonderful person.
Even though I never met you in person, I feel like I've known you for ever.
Penny, you designed this layout and I'm so thankful for all you did to make my blog so beautiful. I know it took you all afternoon to do this for me! I don't know how to thank you enough!
Christina! Your the best! You introduced me to your mom and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I'll enjoy this blog so much for what you all did!
I love you all!

Another Easter Card!

Here's another card I made this morning. I'm getting to like the vintage look. I'm getting to use some of the papers I haven't used before. Very interesting look when you mix different papers.

2 More Easter Cards!

Here's 2 more cards I made tonight. They are out of the box for me too. I kind of like the victorian look but prefer my butterfly cards better.

New Card This Morning!

Here's a Easter Card I made this morning. It's a little outside the box for me, but I still added my butterflies! It was a quick card to make. I guess I'm lucky I made this Easter Card! I don't make many. Easter is a sad holiday for me. I haven't really celebrated Easter since my mom passed away! When I was a kid we celebrated big time.
