Happy 1st Birthday

A Mother’s Day Salute

My mom passed away many years ago but I am fortunate to have lovely woman in my life to lean on and vent to

I lost my mom many years ago.So Mother’s Day is a very difficult day for me to absorb. Because of this my three boys and my husband make it a tradition to fuss over me every year. They Shower me with gifts food flowers and their company for the day. I love it but It took time to get use to because  after all as a mom its your nature to take care of others. Growing up in a family of 6 is a lot  of work for 1 mom to handle but my mom she did it. She did it with patience and grace .Her heart was as big as eternity and filled with love kindness compassion and respect for us and others.  She always made time for each and everyone of us. She was an amazing women who never asked for anything from anyone.She was a giver and never spoke badly about others.She was a creative and a talented seamstress. On picture day her lovely handmade dresses made there first debut . She cleaned the house at night when we were all asleep so she could spend her time with us during the day. I always felt love no matter what happened in my life I knew she was always gonna be there for me. She was my angel on earth. So when my mom was diagnosed with cancer right after I graduated from high school, my whole world came to a stop.  I couldn’t imagine living in a world without my angel.  But fate steps in and there is nothing to do but plead with god.But when the pleading and the bargaining does’t work god steps in and gives you a gift. My gift was my husband of 35 years who got me through the worst moment of my life, my moms death in 1984. He became my angel when I needed one the most.Then there are my three sisters and two brothers to lean on as the years pass. So although my  beautiful mom is not on earth she is my angel in spirit now. Everyday I feel her love warm my heart and surround my soul like an enormous hug. My mom taught me love kindness respect patience compassion and there is beauty in all things. She always said if you are having a bad day someone is having a worse day so embrace it to make a better day tomorrow.I thank my mom for making me who I am and giving  me her strength to raise three wonderful boys.So Embrace life and make everyday count no matter what. Create a great memory that imprint your heart and others forever.

 

Happy Mother’s Day

A toast to all the moms out there This day is for you. Enjoy  yourself and create an un forgettable memory with your children or pet I know Mothers Day has passed But its never too late to celebrate some one special in your life.. A mom is someone to treasure each and every day. Because you never know when faith will step in and take her. I also understand that some people don’t have a good relationship with their mom because of difficult situations or hardship that has manifested in life .But in my heart I know everyone has a special women or person that. has made  a difference in their life so reach out and let them know.

There are so many little boys who love trains out there.My nephew who just turned 7 is one of those boys.I made this card especially for him,I was amazed at how easy it was to make with the help from Karen burniston.I purchased this die which did all the cuts for this card.Its amazing how creative you can get When you don’t have to worry about what size the card should be or how to make the cuts in a pop up.The creativity is all that is left.I used a mixed amount of dies and accessories to complete this card.I hope you like this card as much as I enjoyed making it. The smile on my nephews face was the most rewarding part of this whole project. Thanks for visiting. Have a creative day!

Moveable Greetings

 

So kids grow up and parents get older. It’s hard to make a unique card for a grown young man.This Card was made for my son who is now 27 years old.Where did the years go.He is a gentleman that likes to wear blazer and colorful suit coats. He loves to wear bow ties not the ready made ones the ones you have to tie yourself. It’s not an easy task I have a hard time tying a regular tie never mind a bow tie.He is a self learner and reads all the time He is intellectual and athletic. He has been wearing glasses since he was 16 years old. So this card was created For my kind sweet caring loving and creative son. As you see it has personality just like him.Take time to think of one of your favorite realities and have a creative day.Talk to you soon

Graduation Time

Hooray for the Graduates!!!

Hooray for the Graduates!!!

Reach for the Stars

Reach for the Stars

A big weekend for graduations. It’s interesting how fast time flies by. Its seems like we just celebrated high school graduation, for our middle child, now its college graduation. The biggest problem about graduating is the fact the real world is cruel, yes crueler than high school. It’s hard to adjust when you have to do a 9 to 5 job everyday. College yes, there are all nighters and parties but you don’t have a set schedule. You get use to sleeping in because class is in late afternoon. Having a day without a class so you can just stay put and do what you want.
So if you are a graduate this weekend congratulations. Enjoy the celebration of your achievements. Eat drink and be merry,the real world is right around the corner.
