Tis the Season for Valentines Day Cards

Hola blogger friends ....
Today has been a good day, I got up went to church and then cleaned the house. Stefani and I went and got a starbucks seeing they don't deliver (how rude) ... hehehehe and then headed to Fairfield. Did a little running around and came home. I did manage to make this little card at my fav Stampin Store, I thought it was a cute way to kick off Valentines day .....

it was pretty easy and something that can be duplicated for any Holiday! Easy Peasy ....

Well most of you know that I have been going to school, I have also been out of work for a year, I was laid off from Washington Mutual when Chase purchased us ... I was there over 10 years ... anyways, I really need to get out and working again, and there is an opportnity to work in retail (i really don't want to work retail) but it will conflict with school. I know that If I stop going to school, then there is a really good chance that I won't go back.

working right now will also prevent me from doing my fieldwork that is requored for me to graduate..... I'm putting it in God's hands, I have been worrying about this and I'm sure that's why I haven't been sleeping well ....

Anyways, hope you enjoy the card! Stefani and I had fun making it....

Second Post of 2010

hello all .... not sure if anyone still follows me, but here's my second post for 2010.. I'm hoping that this is my year, 2009 wasn't to kind to me ... so with that behind me, I'm hoping that this will be my year!

I read somewhere that odd years are never good for Aries', and wouldn't you know, I'm Aries! LOL - After all the trials and tribulation in 2009, I'm ready for anything!
As you all know, I have been going to school, I'm trying to get my degree in Human Services, In May 2010, I should be graduating with my certificate and then hopefully in 2011, I'll graduate with my AA. I'm really interested in helping families with children with Mental Illness. During school this past year, this area has really touched my heart and this group is often over looked and needs help.

Aside from school, I have to say that I have enjoyed my time home, but it's time to rejoin the working world. I miss the hustle and bustle of it all. I want to make new friends and have fun again, I'm such the social butterfly ... I want to have deadlines, talk with other adults and work on projects. I'm sure once I find a new job, two weeks in, I'll be crying that I need a vacation ... hehehe

Since my time off, I thought I would be in the craft room all the time, but the fact of the matter is, I was really bummed and was somewhat disappointed that I didn't have a job. I remember working and I couldn't wait to get off work to come home and craft something up .... well today is a new day, I’m going to try harder to post to my little bloggy and follow others. I guess you can say that I was somewhat depressed, but i'm done with that now. I'm only looking at the brighter things in life and will put all that energy in school and crafting.


Well now on to other things, I was in the craft room the other day and make the MLK card in honor of MLK and my daughter Stefani, she is obsessed with him .... I made the Happy Birthday card for a friend of mine, I used some white puffy stuff as the frosting ... so cool. I also used my NEW copics for the candles and I used my shimmer paint for the cake ...

Now on to the Thanks You card.... My Steffers made that one, we were at one of my favorite stamp stores (Mainely Stampin) and she did a make and take .... I hope you enjoy and sorry for the rambling!

This isn't really a good pic of all the cards, but it will have to due, I have been having issues posting so hope ya'll don't mind. well hope you are all having a good day! Thanks for stopping by!

UGH- Issues posting

I'm trying to post the cards I made, but i keep getting an error... I'll try tomorrow

Happy Holidays Friends

Hi all, well I have been busy making some little crafty snowman and Santa treat holders. I saw the idea in Hallmark and studied them and knew I could remake them at home. They were $5.99 in the store and I made mine next to nothing. I have the 2 snowmen and one half done and then in the second picture, I have a Snowman and Santa one ... arn't they cute???? Well I hope you all have a good Holiday and lets pray the 2010 brings us all some good luck ... and me a good paying job!

Happy Holidays

Hello fellow bloggers, I have to say this wasn't my year, so many things have happened and none of them good, but i'm still here and hope to get back to making cards and scrapbooking soon. I completed my first year in college and feel pretty good about that. I'm done with school for right now but start back up in Jan 2010, i should graduate in may 2010 with my Human Services certificate and then in 2011 with my AA degree.. it's been a long road, but so worth it ...

Hope you all have a fab Holiday and Happy New year and thanks for sticking around!

Bee-utiful Day!

Happy Friday everyone!

It's a beautifual day here in Nor Cal, it's a tad bit chilly, but I love it, it smells like Christmas ... some people down the street from me already have their Christmas lights up.... I love this time of year.

Well I have been so busy with school but this semester is coming to an end and I can't wait. I love the classes that I took, but I'm ready for a break, this semester was brutal and noext semester will only get worse, I have to take 3 class and a field work class - yikes .. but the good thing is that I will have the first half of school completed ... yay me!

LOL i forgot that I had this little stamp on my collection, I was looking for my Ladybug stamp but found this little guy. I think it's so cute, it's actually 2 stamps, the hive and the little bee ... I made the little black dots with my copic marker... Hope you enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Well it's been a while since I have posted to my blog, but i'm back, had a great day today, babysat my nephew Noah, he's 5 and had his halloween party today, he was a boxer... so cute. we rans some errands and then picked up some Mcdonalds and ate.

Noah stamped a few images for me, i'll use then in another card, Noah does a really good job coloring.

I'm hoping to go to the movies tonight, I haven't been feeling well, but since I got my necessary meds, i'm feeling so much better and i'm ready to go! Well it's short post today, hope ya'll like th cards.

I'm a BAD BLOGGER

Hello all, i'm not sure if there is anyone still following me, but I've been a bad blogger..... I have been so busy looking for a job and with school. I forgot how much time school takes ... I can't believe that I have been out of a job for almost 10 months, it makes me so sad with I think about it ... I'm a good person, why doesn't anyone what to hire me???

Anyways, I'm going to try and a better blogger. I haven't been in my craft room in a month .. shame on me! I hope to get back into the groove of things in the next few days!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Tuesday!

Hey all and Happy Tuesday, well today would have been my beloved Nana's 90th birthday, but sadly we lost her 4 years ago to Cancer, you can see her beautiful face at the top of my side bar!
On a better and happier note, I think of her all the time and love her as much if not more then the day she passed! So Happy Birthday Nana, I hope your dancing your chancla's off!

So here is another card that i'm going to send to my friend Pat for her Cards4Kids program, I need to hurry up and get these to her, I have some Halloween cards that I'll share in a few days! Thanks for stoping by, I'm going to try and post at least 2-3 times a week, life is getting in the way of my creating, so it's time I took my life back and run my life instead of letting my life run me ..... Hope you all have a Great Tuesday!
