Princess Anya

Morning and Happy Monday! I got up early this morning and started cleaning the house and homework, thank goodness i'm good at multi tasking... hehehe So it was so nice yesterday it was about 78 degrees and we walked around Old Sacramento, this morning I wake up and it's all coudy outside and looks like it's going to rain! I love Anya stamps, they have to be one of my favorite companies aside from Whippersnapper stamps. I love whimsical looking stamps ...

I found this little stamp at one of my favorite stamp stores ... I made this card for a friends daughter, she wasn't feeling well so I stopped by Micky D's and put a gift certificate inside to help her get better. Well short post today, have to finish homework, laundry and have to head to school for a extra credit assignement.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time, happy stamping!

Thank you ~ Bouquets

Hello my blogger friends, hope all is well with you all.... I can't believe it's time for Halloween already! Where has this year gone? Man ... this year has flown by for me, how bout you guys? It seems like the older I get, the faster time goes by, this means i better make the most if the time I have ... at the rate time is flying by, I'll be 75 in no time .... hehehehehe just kidding, but time is flying by!

So I made this little card for a friend of mine, she has been so good to me and helped me out in a time of need. hope she likes it ...

So with this being the month of Halloween , I'm excited to make some cards and some little treat things for a few of my friends kids ... I love mailing out things to kids, they seem to get excited to see their name on a package. I usually send my niece and nephew stuff in the mail ... they love it. I've been doing it for years! they have come to expect it now, but are always excited to see what's in the package.

Well it's time ti head to work ... hope y'all have a beautiful Friday and a good weekend! until next time, thanks for stopping by!

Dog Day Afternoon

Hello - long time no blogging .... ive been so busy and haven't really had much time for anything. My craft room is a huge mess, I keep buying things but haven't got the time to use them. I'm still going to school and working part time. I love my job, but I'm tired .... So i love the card below, I used my cricut, a cuttlebug die cut and i had the little fence. I stamped the little dog and cut him out ...

I added the little bees and i think the card came out pretty good. Now i'm not one for HSN or QVC, but the other night I couldn't sleep and was watching HSN, they had this Easy Sew on special and I have to say that I was suckered in and bought it. I made a card using my new toy and will post it tomorrow ... well it's Sunday and I got called into work, so i'll catch ya later, thanks for stopping by!

I'm back

Yikes, I can't believe that I have been gone for over a month, I have been busy and trying to get my life back in order since my car accident. Did well in summer school, got A's in all my classes, now starts the Fall classes.

Thanks to those who wished me well and a speedy recovery from my car accident. Well my car got totaled out and that really made me sad. I loved my Fusion! The good news is that GOD is good and my bills are going to be taken care of! I was so worried about that. Man, when Mayhem hits, it's like a big ole bowl of distruction and can turn your life up side down. I'm feeling better, back still hurts now and then, but I guess it will for a while. But the good news is that i'm on the right road, and recovering .... I was blessed to be able to get a car, it's not a Fusion, but a 2007 dodge charger. It's not new, but i like it, it's big and roomy and makes me feel safe. well, i have some creations that I will be posting tomorrow .... thanks for stopping by ... i'm going to try and be a better blogger :)

The Devils Handy Work

So the pics below is the Devils handy work. Life is going good and the devil sent in his wicked soliders to wreak havoc in my life, but he forgot that I'm a child of God and he will see me through anything! Ahem, devil, my heart belongs to God and nothing, and I mean nothing can change that! I will always WIN with God on my side ... GAME OVER!

On Monday night July 18th, I was stopped and getting ready to turn into the parking lot of my job and WHAM, some jackel hit me from the behind. He didn't even hit his breaks.

I have to say that Ford built a excellent car, his car is all bashed in ... What a mess .... Thank goodness I'm ok, have a samll concussion, along with neck and back pain ... but I believe that God and all of heaven was watching over me. the ambulance took me to the hospital and was there for a few hours while they did tests... so now i'm at home resting and taking it easy ... Head still hurts and i get a little dizzy still and my back is killing me, but i'm getting better every day. I continue to pray that the guy who hit me is ok, he was hurt as well.

Ok, so other than that, i'll get back to craftying soon .... thanks for stopping by and take care!

I used my Bags and Tags Cricut die cuts, I used this lovely cotton candy pink bazzill paper and then I ran it through my cuddle bug. I used the Pumpkin folder. I love this little stamp, It's Marci from La La Land crafts.

it's hard to see but I rubbed some pretty pink ink on the pumpkins and some grassy green on the leaves and vines. I used some pink puff for the dots on the handle. 

Here's a picture of the back, it's a little better and you can see the pink on the pumpkin and the green on the leaves and vines. I think it came out pretty good of I do say so myself!
