Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!

This is the Father's Day card I made for Jeff - one of the most "Patriotic" men I know! :-) Not only was he an active Marine for 8 years ("Once a Marine, always a Marine") but soon we expect his younger brother, Ryan to be shipped off to Iraq as a Marine. That being said I decided to make Jeff's special Father's Day card red, white and blue. Fun and easy to make! LOVE the star punches!!! - which I actually keep on borrowing from my treasured friend Kylah. I am waiting to find out if these punches will be retired before I buy them myself.

Wishing everyone a beautiful and very special Father's Day!

Finally got it!

Finally I figured out how to download and post a picture onto my blog!!! HOORAY!!!! - gosh, I just feel so proud of myself! :-) This is the Baby Shower invitation that I have been working on for the past week or so for one of my dear and precious childhood friends who is having her very first baby! I am so so happy for Kerri! She is going to be a fabulous Mama indeed. I just wish she lived closer than all the way down in Boston. I do want to mention that through making and sending off these invites (all 45+) I found out that my addiction to using ribbon on my cards is VERY expensive!!! - especially when you MAIL cards that have ribbon on them. It cost me over $1 a piece to mail these invites - which of course my mouth dropped to the floor at the p.o. when I was told by the lovely post woman how much the postage would cost for each envelope containing my precious B.S. invites. I couldn't NOT send the invites just because of my "shock factor" reaction to the expensive cost of postage (in my opion) - all the guests invited to the Shower had to get invitations or else there wouldn't be a Baby Shower! And besides Kerri is worth every penny no matter what the cost. :-)

Okay, off to more creations!

Hugs and smiles,
