I still cannot believe how fast time has flown this year. My lil' guy will be 5yrs old next month. WOW! I just got him registered for Kindergarten this AM. How weird. I know he will have a blast, just like his big brother.

I'm sitting here in my craft room remembering all the good times I had, with my dear friends, before we moved. It's soooo true....you don't realize what you have until you don't have it anymore. I really miss my dear friends! A note from me to you......make the time to spend with your friends. It could be something like meeting up with a fellow papercrafter (my favorite times) doing what you love, having a cup of coffee, meeting at the park with the kids after school, or even simply just dropping by to say, "Hi." Don't feel like you have to clean your house and get all prettied up, just have a friend over and forget everything else. Nobody cares if you emptied the dishwasher, folded the pile of clothes in the laundry basket, etc. I wish I had invested more time with my friends before I moved. Just know how much I cherish you all even if I'm not in the same city. Just do me a favor and simply love, cherish and respect your dear friendships because you never know what life is going to toss ya.

OK....on to business...HA! I have a couple of cards to share with you. The first two are 3x3 Note cards. They are simple and cute. I made the 3rd card (The black one) for my hubby. I'm going to mail it to him at his work. I am so proud of him and all of the sacrafices he has made for our family. He is a wonderful man!

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Hi Everyone,

We are finally settled into our new home. I unpacked my craft area this week and had the time to make a few cards. I am in such a Happy Place right now. If only you could see the smile on my face! :0) I have to set the timer on my phone so I don't forget to pick up my kids at school. I often loose track of time when I am crafting away.
