enjoying spring break

I love April, it is one of my favorite month's of the year. The kids are home all month (off -track), the springtime weather is really nice which means lots of outside play, visiting parks and long walks around our neighborhood and lake.

Another thing that I love about April is Kalee's birthday. Yes Kalee's birthday was on Saturday and I am now a mother of a 12 year old. How did that happen so quickly? Seems like just yesterday she was in diapers, and just learning how to walk.





I am very proud of her. She is growing into a beautiful young lady and I am very lucky to be her mother.
Since the kids have been home all week I haven't had a whole lot of time to myself. I have been finishing up some projects but most of them are for calls so I can't show them yet. I got a card picked up the other day for the September edition of Cards Magazine. :) woot woot! I wish I could show it to you, it is one of my favorites (using Echo Park for the Record and Epiphany Crafts). Hopefully September will come soon, so that I can show it to you in print. :)

Be back tomorrow with some fun cards that I am finishing up today!

exciting things are happening!

this sums it up.


Want to know why??



Because I have great friends:




and because I get to do what makes me happy:



I was recently asked to be part of something BIG. I can't say what it is yet but I can promise you that it is going to rock.
I feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity and thankful to be able to spend my time doing what I love.
I have been very fortunate to make strong bonds and friendships in this industry, and to have the chance to work alongside some truly talented and amazing gals. Exciting things are in the works.
Stay tuned and I promise I will share just as soon as I can :)
