Hi Everybody - Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been doing temp work at a really cool apartment community in Indy called Hunt Club. Hope all the moms had a great mother's day. I did. Here is a picture of the card I made for my mom. Also, a picture of the adorable cupcake placemats that I fell in love with at a craft show and my sons got for me.

Birthday Cards

Here are a couple of birthday cards I made for my niece and my brother-in-law. The cinnamon roll stamp is a set from Skipping Stones. They have some of the funniest sets.

This is the Easter card I made for my mom. Hard to see the colors but it is all purples and lavendar.

Had a wonderful, blessed Easter with the family. Here are some pics of the kids with the Easter Bunny. My toddler doesn't go to anyone but leapt into the bunny's arms and didn't want to let go. It was so cute. Also, there's a picture of him with one of the real bunnies that we got for the kids. This bunny is a girl but my 7-year old named her Junior.

Here's a little card I made for St. Patty's Day. Inside I put a pack of Extra spearmint gum with the sentiment, "You're EXTRA special."

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.
