Strawberries With Mice :)

Hi Everyone!!! Thank you for the well wishes :) ..I had such a blast with Tim last night, we first went to the movies and watched.. Unknown.. Both Tim and I love the movie Taken that we wanted to support Liam Neeson but what a boring movie LOL!!! I gave it 1 out of 5 stars LOL! Tim said it wasn't that bad, he wouldn't own it but if it was on HBO he would watch it..I won't hehehe...We ate a huge dinner at Famous Dave's and yep Food Coma..It was such a wonderful day and night..I love you Timothy thank you :) ..So today I am off to get another Tattoo and I am looking forward to it but not really LOL!!! it freaking hurts, it's not like when I was younger and embraced physical pain now I go "ouch" and I have to remember my breathing exercises when I gave birth ..the funny part of this is that my tattooist has no tattoos and we asked him why? he said because they HURT!!!! true story..we couldn't stop laughing at that one :) and he looks like he's 14 but he's an award winning tattooist he gets invited to Italy and tattoos people over there...pretty darn cool...anyways this card was made awhile ago but I haven't posted it yet..It's a House Mouse image and I heat embossed over the image and added my colors over it...I like how it came out ..I hope you have a great day..See ya tomorrow
Thank You!!! Come again!!!!

Happy Anniversary Tim

A message for My Love... Today is our Anniversary and I can't tell you how much I love you..I love you so much that I couldn't be without you..Every day that goes by I fall deeper in love with you..I want to hold you forever..When you hold me and I look up at you, you stare down at me and smile...I can't tell you how much I love that you are with me, you have me so spoiled, I'm sure there's not many men out there that would smile at them when you tell them how much money you spend on Stamping supplies and tell you how much they love your cards and when you say Oh babe there's new Nesties coming out he tells you buy whatever you want :) ...And when you say babe there's a stamping convention coming to a city near us, he says Oh let's go and I'll be the holder of ALL your packages :) ....man Tim I love you..I'm sure there's not many men out there that won't let there family hurt (financially) without doing there best to find as many jobs as it takes for his wife to be happy, I have a husband that doesn't want me to work because when he has a day off he just wants to be with me, Isn't that the coolest..I think so...I am deeply in love with you and when I see you my heart pounds and I can't stop thinking of you :) ...I love you so much Tim! and I thank you so much for spoiling me and even though I don't say it everyday I do APPRECIATE everything you do to make me happy and you're the man of my dreams every night and every morning that I wake up...I love you Timothy... Happy Anniversary!!!!!

Pretty Pretty Purple!

Hi Everyone!!!! well it's official the time has come and it's sad but cool..My parents have moved out!!!!! Unfortunately they moved 45 Min's away from us on a dangerous stretch of highway but o well, the house they found is a retirement center, it's gated and has lots of rules, which is perfect..I talked to my mom this morning and she said it's so quiet..Thank goodness! I want them to be safe (of course) so I'm glad to know that..The kids are loving it because my parents new place has a pool, which Tim and I love, only because we don't have to maintain and clean it when done LOL! anyways this project is called a Top Notes Box by Maria Bell..(This one will also be given away during class).. minus candy :) ...It was made using SU cardstock and DSP...The image is Nature Walk from the new mini #121997 (I have a website if you want to place an order at anytime :) ...I used the Crack Glass technique and added just a couple of drops of Stickles on the wings of the butterfly..The purple flower is from Prima but the white flower is from Michael's dollar bin ...Such a simple and fun project..I hope you try it too :) ..Have a good day everyone! See ya all tomorrow
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!
