Somewhat past due but here are some Mother's Day cards I made for a personal order

Hi everyone!  I know that I have been away for a very long time now and I do have my reasons...life happened to overwhelm me and I got caught up in everything.  I had a huge order to make 17 Mother's Day cards for one person and I wasn't given to "go ahead" until nearly a week before she needed them which just added so much more pressure and stress.  But when it all came down to it, she was very happy with them all and expressed to me later on that night that she really needed around 35 and that 17 was not enough!!!  She is a very social person which is really neat that she remembers all her friends and everyone on this special day.

I would like to share with you some of these cards that I created for her.  I hope you enjoy!

 Obviously there are not all 17 cards shown here, but she said that everyone LOVED the card they each received.  Hearing that just made my day knowing that they brought a smile to someones face.

So much has been going on lately, I have been without a card now for close to a month.  Just getting it back this past Saturday the 11th of June...ugh!  That was rough having to rely on everyone to take me places or to just do without going places.  And of all places that it broke down was in the drive-Thur of Walgreen's pharmacy pick-up window! DOH!  But it was all good, mu car insurance offers free roadside assistance which includes towing so that was perfect!

I also bought the newest edition to the Cricut family; the Expression 2 Anniversary Edition and I LOVE it!!!

 It comes pre-loaded with four cartridges two of which are exclusive for this machine only.  I will admit though that I have not had as much time to play with it due to the fact that the original one that was sent to me was in some way defective and Provocraft replaced it for me and I just got it in last sat the 11th {same day as I got my car back lol}.  So I have so much to learn from it now!!!

Well I want to thank you all for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day today.

A Day I Never Want To Forget...

As I said I wanted to write according to this list from the "Blogging For Scrapbookers", and today it says to write about a day I never want to forget.  This is hard since there are so many great days to remember & perhaps not so great days that need to be remembered.

So I was searching in my photo's and came up with this one: Mother's Day 2009

This picture here is of my mom and I when I gave her a scrapbook dedicated to her and her life.  She really loved it and shows a lot of people it when they come over to visit her.  The page that it is opened to here is one the left side a page about my brother David and on the right side a page about me.

Can you tell we were facing the sun?  This was a beautiful day we had all spent together at a park near my moms place.  In this photo are Kevin, Kristin, and I. 

Here is my brother David, Lisa {my sister-in-law}, and one of their sons Zack.  They also have another son David II who is not present in the pic but was there to celebrate Mother's Day with us all.

This is Lisa, my mom, and David together.

Last year's Mother's Day was so much fun and enjoyable because I just love it when we can all get together and share in the love we have for one another.  It was such a gorgeous day out, we grilled out and munched to our hearts content! LoL!
