Missing You.....

Today would have been my best friend's 41st birthday. She was taken 3 years ago suddenly.  She was my friend, my children's Godmother, my confidant, my "go-to" person.  We met at the age of 13, with our too big hair, our acid washed jeans, rolled socks, and 80's music playing somewhere in the background. We connected immediately. 

 And tonight her sister is honoring her memory with a dinner and drinks to toast this exceptional woman. She truly had a heart of gold....and there isn't a day that does by that I don't think of her....

This picture was taken on her wedding day....we hadn't gotten our dresses on quite yet...hence the denim and overalls! 

How long ago it all seems....

So I thought I'd share this silly card.....she is probably smiling down on me. She didn't like serious.....she was about being "light" and fun.  She would appreciate this lil' card. 

So this One's for you Jen!

This quick and easy card was created with the Imagine Machine and the Greeting Cards Inside and Out cartridge.  I just added a bit of glitter, lace, stick pin, and paper straw to make it a bit special. 

Thank you for allowing me to share my heart with you a bit today.....

I Know...Baseball Season is Over....

Good morning! I know baseball is coming to an end and football season has begun....but I kind of forgot I had created this card over the summer! It uses a Crafty Secret's set called, Play Ball. I used my Tim Holtz Distress Markers to color it in. (Love those markers!) I love the watercolored/distressed effect they give to the image. Since I really couldn't use glitter or lace as an embellishment.....I opted for a baseball glove and baseball from the set. ; ) Oh, and a black pearl too! (That's manly right?)

I am off and running again this morning!  I have a meeting at Cort's school today to talk with her teacher and speech therapist.  We are looking into a new communication device for her and we are having a difficult time settling on a device.  So hopefully today we can come to some sort of agreement.  Sometimes this stuff wears me out.......but it has to be done....so I keep plugging away! 

I hope you have a great day, and thank you my friends for visiting this blog.  It truly is my escape from the day and I love your visits!
