Happy Mail!

Today I received some birthday happy mail!  Grant you my birthday isn't until the 7th, but I couldn't resist opening the packages today.  This first packaged the mail lady dropped off at our front door since it wouldn't fit in the mail box.  Aren't my parents awesome!  They know me so well, love my Bath and Body supplies and I for see a shopping spree in my future, between the gift card they sent me from Kohls and the gift Kohls send.

This next package of goodness was bought up from the mail box by hubby.  It's from an amazing women who is so thoughtful and kind and always  thinking of others.  Many thanks goes out to my dear friend Cindy L, I'm so blessed to be able to call her my friend.

Just love all the goodies Cindy sent.  Can't wait to try them out.  Isn't the card adorable, the inside even has and amazing saying for August birthdays!

Time to Catch Up!

So sorry life got a little busy.  So now I'll take the time to catch up on posting some projects that I had made up for my Card Buffet Event last month. 

This simple card isn't given justice in this photo, but thought I would share it anyway.  It was created with generation stamping.  I added some glitter to the first generation flowers, because glitter makes everyone happy right!?

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I'm a lucky dog today!  Look my winning scratch off....$30 richer!

Next Paper Craft Class

So looking forward to girl time next Monday at the paper crafting class.  I always have a great time with this group of wonderful ladies.  This has been a LONG summer with a full household of boys!

Placemat and Napkin Gift Set

Finally finished up this gift set of placemats and napkins.  I think they turned out so cute.  When hubby and I found the rooster fabric we knew it would be prefect.  The roosters fabric makes me smile.  The placemats came together quickly since I just quilted the front fabric to the back and bound them.  The napkins actually took me a little longer since I was trying out something new.  I make the napkins using the self binding method.  Which does take a little time measuring but I think the end results are worth it!  Hope the individual I made this set for enjoys them.

Garden

My brown thumb has produced out first watermelon of the season and lots of cherry tomatoes!  Can't wait for the watermelon to be ready for picking.

College Bound!

So proud of my middle son Brant today!  He has received his diploma at sixteen and will start walking the  hallways of college this fall.  It blows my mind to think I'm old enough to even have teenagers never mind college students!  Maybe I should really start thinking about what I want to be when I grow up.

You're looking at a future Nuclear Engineer!
