Friday Fill-Ins

It's Friday again and I haven't posted one thing on this blog all week.
I better work on that. In the meantime...

Friday Fill-Ins

1. Apples are to oranges as my hubby's thoughts are to mine.

2. I can't wanna and that's all I have to say about that.

3. I think I hear my craft table calling me home.

4. I have immense respect for the American flag.

5. Do what you want to do, but don't expect me to.

6. The dragon was flying to the castle and behind him was a Radio Flyer wagon; in the wagon was a bucket filled with all the latest, cutest scrapbook supplies.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Survivor and pizza (well, not so much on the pizza part), tomorrow my plans include Breakfast at "Barflbees", a bike ride and crafting and Sunday, I want to Go with the flow. I have no idea what is in store for me. It's Mother's Day, which can mean just about anything in my house!

Parts of me have moved.

Things were getting pretty messy here.

SO, I decided to open shop for my cards and crafty stuff.

Don't worry, I will maintain this blog for all other interests.

New blog name "I CARD WANNA".

You are welcome on both blogs. See ya real soon...

365 Cards - Day 65 - Mother's Day Card

Today's 365 Cards challenge wasn't so much a challenge but rather an opportunity to honor a special woman in your life. I am only partly completing this challenge. I have already made my Mother's Day card. I am splitting the challenge into two parts.

1. Honor important women in my life. And important in my daughters' lives.

2. Make a card. Mine just happens to be around a chocolate bar and for an important male.

I made Teacher Appreciation Gifts. Small tokens to give to the teachers at the elementary school that nurtured and taught my daughters. Two have moved on to be excellent students in middle school and one is still learning and thriving at the elementary school. All of them honor roll students. I am a full time work outside the home mom, so most of the credit goes to the fabulous teachers. I really appreciate them and don't show them often enough.

The women will receive a flower pen. Not very original, but flowers make people smile. I want them to smile. Who can write with a big flower on the end of their pens and not smile! The men will receive a chocolate bar. I can't see them writing with a big flower on the end of their pens. And who doesn't smile with chocolate.

Yup, the flowers are all pens. I made roughly 100 pens and wrapped 8 chocolate bars. They aren't very fancy, but my fingers are tired after making the pens.

(and I HAVE to post, right?!?!)

Thanks for indulging me and looking.

365 Cards - Day 64 - Super Sketchy Sunday

365 Cards gave us this sketch to use today:

Thanks for looking.

365 Cards Day 63 Floral Fest

Put 8 flowers on your card. Sounds like a lot. It is. 365 Cards really pushes you to go outside your comfort zone. I never would have put this many flowers before.

I used Making Memories Chloe's Closet collection. And various flowers. Plus ribbon unknown.

Thanks for looking.

365 Cards - Day 62 - Age is just a number

365 Cards continues to challenge me. Believe it or not, my family, immediate and extended, does not, I repeat, NOT, have a birthday until JULY. And the challenge today is to use a number.

"A number should be on the card - a date, age, whatever - but the number should signify the importance of the event."

I will store this card in my card box until July when my husband turns 53.

Thanks for looking.
