Sympathy Card

This was made for a former co-worker whose son committed suicide. I pray that God will give her peace.

Praying for You Card

I made this card for a friend who has been having a tough time lately. Who doesn't need to hear that someone has been praying for them?

Happy Birthday Cheryl!

A co-worker is celebrating her birthday today. She always gives me a hard time about being older than her -- even if it's only 8 months. The "old" jokes sometimes get us through a tough moment at work, so I don't mind. Of course I had to give her a hard time, since she is now as old as me!

The inside of the card says (I think -- I don't have the card here with me), "And think about the fact that you're now as old as me!"

Eat, Drink & Be Scary!

I spent many hours on this layout and think it turned out pretty cute. You can click on the picture to see it better, or go to the auction.

Monkey Business

These pictures were taken last year at Christmas. Here is the journaling: Ashlyn was a monkey in New Hope Baptist Church’s production of “A King Is Coming to Town.” Courtney stood on one end of the gym and told her to run to Joey, who was standing on the other end of the gym. She ran across in front of the singers/actors during the jungle song. Of course the timing was perfect during the songs, and someone chased her with a net (and she never knew it). She did so good for a two year old!

Everybody loves a parade

I finished this earlier simple layout this week but didn't get a picture taken until today. Photos of Ashlyn's first parade last year.

Thanks for my boss

Since today is boss' day (or bosses' day - I've seen it so many ways), I made this card for my boss.

I got to scrapbook -- yeah!

After two crazy busy weekends, I had some free time and took advantage of it by scrapbooking. I invited my neighbor over, and the two of us had a lot of fun scrapbooking and catching up while our husbands watched the NASCAR race. I re-did my two title borders that didn't sell on eBay and made them into layouts. Click on the pictures for a better view.

A Hee Haw Christmas

For the past several years my Circle (ladies' group at church) has done a variety show to raise money for missions. We provide a meal and then do a little variety show with skits and singing. We usually try to act very goofy, and I think we do a good job at that! LOL. Last year we did "A Hee Haw Christmas." These are photos from the show. I always do goofy sign language as "Sister Tammy Faye." I get so many requests, specifically from the older folks at church, to do this. I've told them that Sister Tammy Faye has retired! LOL. There is one photo on this layout of me doing my sign language, although it is very blurry.

What? A French Fry Box?

Yep, it's a French Fry Box! This is my latest creation for eBay. It's a fun little gift idea.

Check it out!

A Card for a Great Principal

Our ladies group at church recently found a local school that has many kids attending that are living in poverty. The principal is a wonderful woman who is doing so much to help these children and their families. She says it is her God called mission to be there to try to help. She's set up a fund that people donate to so shoes can be purchased for needy children, or clothes, or whatever. She is trying to get a single mother's power turned back on (which we are helping with) that has been off since June. We wanted to send her a card to tell her how much we appreciate her doing what God is leading her to do. So, here's the card I made. The inside says, "Just as you are being a blessing to others."

Wedding Ribbon Plate

I took my ribbon plate (which I love by the way) (I can't remember where it came from -- maybe Southern Living At Home?), and decided to decorate it with cuts from my Cricut for a little reception I'm hosting this weekend for my brother-in-law and his new wife. The only people at their wedding back in July was them and the preacher. So, I'm having dinner, a wedding cake, punch, and music this weekend to celebrate. This will sit on the piano. Hope you like it!

New eBay items . . .

I listed a few new items on eBay tonight for our So Long Summer event. Here's a sneak peak of a new border:

A sympathy card for Harriet

A sweet coworker lost her Mom last weekend. Even though her Mom was 87, Harriet still wasn't ready to lose her. We never are! I talked to her this week and told her I thought her Mom will be waiting for her when she gets to heaven. I hope this card brings her comfort in a small way.

The Beauty of Fall

I have really enjoyed making this border. I love the colors of fall! This is now listed on eBay. Cross your fingers for me that it sells!
