Woo hoo!  just one more day until I leave for the convention, even though I have to work tomorrow too.  I am so excited.  I have a great substitute coming in for me, she was a wonderful teacher in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing department.  Here's a little coffee theme card today!

Thick and Thin

Aren't we all glad it is Saturday?  Just curious for all my dear friends overseas....I notice this when I am in Turkiye for example, but most of my friends there don't get off work on Saturday (just the teachers and gov't workers).  Most people that I know from Turkiye work 6 days a week.  Is that true in your country?
Just curious.

Hello friend

 Last school day of spring break, though I still have the weekend to enjoy before I start back up monday.  I have enjoyed the week and I am super excited to be going to the convention on Wed.  What's funny is that now the countdown to Turkiye is 69 days so I am almost MORE excited how close that is.

Thinking of You

 Here's a lovely Thinking of you card that I did from a kit by PhotoPlay.  I like the bright colors on this particular kit they sold, everything just POPs off the card.  So lovely.

Multilayered Flower

 Happy Tuesday everyone!  I can't believe it's day 4 of spring break.  I am working on various projects to get ready for the convention next week since I won't be at work.  *a little WOO HOO for that.  Here's a project to enjoy today.  Here's a project from Stampalistic that I made at last year's convention.

Just be you

 Well, i really wish spring break had been next week, so that it would have corresponded with the convention.  Instead I have to take time off to go to the convention.  I wasn't too thrilled about using my days off, but I am pretty excited to go to the convention next week.  Are you ready to see all the projects that i make?  I really need to have some NON-LACE time to sit down and craft a bunch of wonderful cards.  I feel like I don't get that much time anymore.

Ahhh, first day of spring break

 Happy Saturday everyone!  I wonder what other schools in the world have a spring break like the USA does?  or do they also have a week off in the spring semester of school?  anyone?  I have LOTS of lace to cut and wrap this week.  Whew.  I am going to the scrapbook convention next week, so I need to be ahead of the game.

Every Moment Counts

Every Moment Counts.  I try to remember that now that vacation is coming up.  That I need to stop every once in a while, and appreciate the time that I have RIGHT now before vacation comes.  Sometimes we are in such a hurry to get somewhere that we are losing what we have in the moment.

Today is an important day at the doctor.  Your prayers and thoughts and good vibes are appreciated.

 Well, I say that but really everyday of life is a celebration for me!  Everyday that I get without any seizures and my health back is truly a blessing from God thanks to Dr Aboumatar.  So even though there won't be an everyday celebration here on the blog for the rest of the year, there is an everyday celebration that I am living on!!

Love&Laughter

 Here's a lovely card from a kit by Simple Stories.  I just love the beautiful flower, so pretty.  I can't believe it's the last week of the month already.  I am just nine days from Spring Break (nine working days) and the following week I will be going to a convention in Irving Texas!

Question of the day:  Hmmm, what type of supply or stamp topic do you not tend to use in your crafting?

Me?  Believe it or not I don't use die cuts that come with the stamp sets.  I don't use alphabet dies (I occasionally use stickers), I don't use much twine or twill which is weird because i love lace

Dear Sandra, I miss you

 Here's a wonderful image from one of my favorite artists!  Sandra Caldwell.  I am sure some of you are aware that she passed away unexpectedly.  It made me quite sad, but her memory lives on in these beautiful images that she created.  I was on her design team from the start and worked with her at several different stamp companies.

Question of the day:  what shape/size of cards do you make?

Me?  I still think my favorite size is 6x6
