Hi!  Yes, this is my second post of the day!  I just wanted to quickley post a card I made for the Peachy Keen Face it Friday and the Circle blog.  Peachy Keen's challenge is to make something that radiates the warmth of the sun with a PK face.  And the Circle blog's weekly challenge was to make something that is interactive.

So here is what I came up with...

the sun is on a slide that spins...the interactive part  :)

Happy Friday!
Wow, I can't believe that the week is almost over!  I made another layout with Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker paper!  The picture in my layout is one of my favorites ever of my oldest daughter.  This was taken almost 21 years ago at Knott's Berry Farm.  I can remember exactly everything that was happening at that moment!  Her little arms were moving as fast and hard as she could to make the car move!  JUST ADORABLE!  but who doesn't think their babies are the cutest?!

Hi!

Happy Friday!  I'm so excited, I'm going to Scrapbook Expo today!  This will be the first time in years that I've been, hoping for some good deals, but we'll see!  Anyway, Kim at Paper Smooches is having a blog hop.  I'm not in it, but I did make a card in honor of her hop!  Kim has teamed up with EAD Designs to create stickerz and rub-ons, with a new design each month.  Go check out her hop, I know she is having a give away too!

challenge ends on March 24.

And one last thing, I'm still collecting cards for Juliana.  I had a couple cards given to me also and I thank those that sent them, but there seems to be some confusion.  I am not the mother of Juliana, a friend of mine teaches 1st grade and is Juliana's teacher.  That's how I've come to know her story.  She has started chemo this week.  If you would like to send a card to her, you can send it in care of me.  Juliana c/o Liz Munoz, 4851 Lone Tree Way, Suite B, Antioch, CA 94531

Enjoy!

Hi!

Hope all of you are staying warm in the mid west and east coast!  Not trying to rub it in but it's a beautiful sunny morning and a warm 48 degrees.  I hope the cold weather doesn't freeze your creative juices! I have lots of exciting news coming...good things happening...but I can't tell quite yet!  Soon though...

So in the mean time here is a layout I did of my girls when they were so little,  they're grown women now ~ boy, it does go quickly!

I did some stitching on my sewing machine.  You may start seeing me do more of it...I really like the effect!

Enjoy your day!

"It's a Small World" Holiday Blog Hop!

Hi!

Wow!  Can you believe that Christmas is in 15 days?!  Not me...it feels as if it was just summertime!  Well anyway,  Jess at Kinderstampo is hosting another blog hop and this one is about how we around the world celebrate the holiday season.  So you should have arrived from Martha at Dream of Crafting.  I hope you left lots of love for her. 

Now on to my tradition...at our home it's all about Santa, and yes even though my girls are 20 and 22, Santa still manages to swing by our home for some milk and cookies.  He even drops off a little something for the girls.  As long as they "believe" he will still come!  :)  So my project is a plate for Santa's cookies!

don't you just love Rudolf with his red stickled nose!

Look who Jess got to sponsor our blog hop!
