I belong to a local MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group and they are the greatest. Last week they had a guest speaker who was a certified laughter therapist - didn't even know there was such a thing. She was awesome. I've always know laughter is good for you, and luckily my family and I laugh a lot!!! I just didn't know how good for you it is. There are studies that suggest that laughing appears to be almost as beneficial as a workout in boosting the health of blood vessels. Laughter relaxes arteries and boosts blood flow. She said that laughter has also been shown to decrease belly fat - WOW! I've been doing this for ages, can't image how big my belly would be if I didn't laugh like I did. Wishing everyone a fun, happy, laughter filled day!

Happy late Valentine's Day! Here are a couple of cards I made. I also made these candy bottles. I took empty Fuze drink bottles, washed them thoroughly,decorated and filled them with candy. Everyone seemed to like them, but it did take a lot of candy to fill them up.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Sometimes life gets in the way of my crafty fun stuff. Here are some soccer cards I made for the coaches and a soccer graduation card for one of the boys on my husband's team. We play soccer year 'round. Who knows, maybe I'll get in shape and do it sometime in the near future.

Here is a cute card I made for my niece, Beth, who moved to Nebraska. We miss her, but she is an awesome young lady and will do great things.

I love stampingbella - don't you? Here are some of my bella and fella cards. I even found a store in Indiana that sells them, which is great because I'm bad about wanting my stamps right now - lol. The horse card was for my sister, she loves them. And the fishing card is for my niece and it is such a cool coincidence, her name is Stacey and the stamp is called Staceybella. Stacey takes my 80 year old mom fishing all the time and she is a marine biologist for the state (and basically fishes for a living).

Seth's Cake

Besides making cards and scrapbooking. I love to bake. Here is a picture of the birthday cake I made for my son, Seth's, 15th birthday last month. He has an awesome aquarium and is really into fish. I got the idea from a lady's website where her mom had made a similar one for her.

Bella Recipe Swap

Here is the page I did for a Bella recipe swap. It was awesome (except I made my page the wrong direction - sorry). Thanks so much to LeAnne for hosting this swap.
