Another Birthday Card..

Well January is almost here..My girls are gone swimming at the Rec Center and I am home coloring and posting this card..Today is a funny day for me..I do not feel myself...not to sure why but I guess we must have some of these days to love the good days...For those of you who know me I treasure my family and my friends very much..I do not make friends easily and the ones I make I keep very close...I think that I am a fairly nice person but I do not have time for bullpoopy...So my hubby says that it is very clear when I like someone or I do not...I have tried to change and by all means I do not judge...for I have a ton of dust under my door mat...also under the couch as I see the sun reflecting off of the floor...Another day..Ok enough already and lets get on to the card..I colored a Giddy Birthday Girl..She is from Prairie Fairy Site...This is a Canadian gal her images are very cute and I love the big face..Although my face is off on this card..She is colored with Prisma Pencils blended with Gamsol...

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends who celebrate...

Card For Lori Boyd Challenge!!!

Ok it has been awhile..There have been many changes going on in my life that if I should start to write about them it would take forever..Sadly we had to put down our Choc Lab Riley this was very heartbreaking..she had Cancer and we did not even know...My Parents have started to move in and we gave away my brothers boat...For those of you who do not know me I lost my brother in a car accident about fifteen years ago and his boat was one of the last things I had left and you know when you think it is time and u go and make all of the arrangements...well lets just say it was one of the worst days I had this year..When I saw this challenge I thought boy those colors will def cheer me up and this image is one of my favs...I love the rain, i love frogs and rubber boots...what more could I ask for...This girlie Lori her designs are grt..very family orientated..If you have a second you should pop over to her blog http://loriboyd2.blogspot.com/ ....so without further ado here is the card I made hope you like it I know I do...thks for stopping by and guess what another 2.5lbs down...hoping to hit 10lbs this week...take care and be safe..

Mom and Dad Almost Here!!!

I have completed another card at first I was very unhappy with it...I think the problem was Arthur's hair still not to fussy about it.  If you have any suggestions I am more than willing to listen to them.. Other than that I am ok with it..Onto another thought this is my second week in Weight Watchers and I think it is going ok, last week I had a loss of 2.4lbs which is good but now my mom and dad are going to be here,,,let's just say they do not watch what they eat at all a tad nervous...So I decided to set a new goal and that is to stay firmly on track to hit my 80lbs loss...I know what you are thinking 80 lbs wow that is like loosing a lab from my body...I will get there..My husband bless his sole tell me he married me this way I am a great person, mom and wife...I hear that but you ladies know when you have to do something for yourself it gotta get done...and you bet your ass I'm gonna get er done..Enough about my goals if any of you have certain goals and would like to share them let me know would love to hear them...Ok today's image is from no other than Stampingbella and it is Annie & Arthur..hope you all like and this one is going to go into the Spotted Chick Challenge..If you want to see some eye candy without the weight gain take a gander at her amazing cards..Well love ya and tootalou..

Hot Hot Day!!

Well in Massey Ontario it is very hot so I decided that I would take my two bestest girls to see a movie...If you know me I am a Harry Potter junkie so this is what we went to see...The movie was great and both of my girls loved it.  My mom and dad are moving home this weekend I am a little nervous but also very excited...My mom and Dad are great people and I love them very much...Lots of of friends think that it will not work living with them but I guess time will tell...So do I have a card for ya?  Of course I do the card I am showing you is one I did for my best friend Tracey.. She asked me if I could make her a wedding card so I said sure.. I fell in love with this card..I have to say it is one of my favs..Well I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it...I am going to enter it in Digis with an Attitude...The image is a digi I bought from Tiddly Inks..
