Happy 4th!!

I'M BACK!!!!!

I am so sorry that I have not Blogged in months. I had gone to visit my son in Great Lakes for 3 weeks and I had so much fun with him. I came home and got so busy with life and kids that I abandoned my Blog. My son is now in Yokosuka Japan, stationed on the USS George Washington. He is on a cruise right now some where in the Pacific.
Well I am here now to retake my Blog over and I will have many posts to come along. I just got the Cricut Imagine for my Birthday from my husband and sailor. I am so excited to get back up and have fun. I would also like to start making videos, we shall see.

This is my US Sailor (son) he is going to be stationed in Japan as of April 1st for the next three years and deployed on the USS George Washington. I am going to be away for the next few weeks visiting him in Illinois before he leaves. I will not be able to scrap or make cards but I sure am going to have a ton to do when I come back because I plan on taking pictures everyday of us. See you guys in March.

This is the wedding card I made for my niece. I made the flower as well (my first flower).

This is a card I made for my mother, she asked me to make a card with us 5 kids on it and it just so happens that I wanted to join in on the My Pink Stamper challenge making something with spring or that makes you happy and this card does both. Hope you all like it.

Hey everyone, hope everyone is having a happy Thursday. I am going to be a way pretty much all weekend, my oldest son is a United States Navy Sailor and I am going to visit him for his 19th Birthday. He will be leaving the State of Florida on Tuesday, Feb. 1 to go to IL and then he will be stationed in Japan as of April 1st. GO NAVY!!!!!!

I will have some projects posted next week. I hope you all have a great weekend and get some fun crafty stuff done.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all enjoying your day. Well I was surfing the internet today and found something pretty interesting but in some ways funny, I found a knock-off of the Cricut and Gypsy, it is made by Sizzix for $393
