My happy kids
Here are my happy kids, well, they aren't all kids any more...Bobby is 21 Mat will soon be 18...Jilly is starting High School, and Jake...well he is my kid, even though he is a dog! I had a chance to catch them all at home at the same time, RARE...and I FORCED them to sit for a photo...but you know what? They didn't mind. They were happy. I am so glad they understand my need to capture moments in time, right from when they were babies none of them really minded getting their picture taken, even Jake! LOL
My dad has been in the hospital, with Congestive Heart Failure and his kidneys aren't working. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with my dad, but very few photos. Go hug your kids today and take a picture or two...they will appreciate it someday. Please keep our family in your thoughts as we pray for a speedy recovery. Sorry I have been so quiet, I promise to share a card or two this week.

Invitation for Jillian's Party
I designed an invitation for Jillian to give to her friends inviting them to her birthday party. She loved my idea and made them herself. They are simple and bright, and very "Jill". Here is the first one she made, she didn't like it...said the words are crooked... I told her art from the heart is never store bought perfect. She didn't really listen to that point of view, she just made another one and said I could have this one! LOL
So I kept it, I LOVE it! I think her friends will too.

Jill's Graduation Was Tuesday night. Here is the card I made for her:
They showed a slide show with pics of the kids from pre-school until 8th grade, I cried of course. 11 years at the same school,(pre-school age 3 and 4, kindergarten and then grades 1 - 8) that is a whole lot of memories! She got a new charm bracelet for graduation, she was so happy!
The boys got her flowers that looked like ice cream and a gift card to cold stone.
She was happy with all of the gifts she got. She was so happy to be called "freshman" and sad at the thought of leaving her friends. We don't have a high school so the kids pick from bunches of towns in the area. The school she picked is a huge campus with so many kids she will be lucky if she ends up with one person she knows in any of her classes.
I am sorry I have been so absent. My schedule should be getting back to normal soon. I am finished with my job at the church at the end of next week. Stamp camp is this Saturday. We are going to be stamping a stack of cards, a great way to have the cards you need for the summer. I have made lots of cards, I will be showing them to you over the next few days.

Another Stamp a Stack Card and NSR "Sunday Drive"
I have been cutting this weekend, I am not a huge fan of cutting kits, I love every other part of stamp a stacks or stamp camps EXCEPT cutting. Here is my latest:
Isn't it pretty? Oh my how I love this set! I have made so many styles of cards with it, I swear it is the most versatile set I have worked with in a very long time. I didn't think I wanted it, because hey...it just isn't my style. BOY was I ever wrong! It IS my style, and then some! Simplicity is what stamp a stacks are all about. This set is perfect for that. I am so happy with this card and I am sure my girls will be too.
It was another beautiful and busy weekend. Saturday Rob and I took our "Sunday Drive" lol. I forgot my camera, I was bummin' and there were so many missed photo ops. I told Rob we would just need to repeat the entire day again. He had no problem with that. Maybe in a couple of weeks we will do it again. We drove up 169 again, past Brooklyn this time. We went to the Vanilla Bean Cafe. Out of this world food. The Vanilla Bean Café opened in 1989, they seat 90 inside and 40 outside! It is by far my absolute FAVORITE place for lunch. I got one of the specials that day, Vegetable Pesto Quiche, served with house salad and fruit. Rob got a beef/bean and vegetable burrito with fresh salsa. We always get glass bottles of soda with the old fashion caps on them. I can't help it, I think they taste better~ Their food is so fresh, I can't wait to go back. I love living in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut. After all of that food we walked across the street to Martha's Herbary. Check out the site and you will know why I love it! Unique gifts, beautiful garden, and so many things that are just "SO ME"! I could LIVE there. From the bird house fence when you enter the driveway to the front door there are so many things to look at. Once inside I want to see every little thing. Of course "no dogs" are allowed at Martha's (we ate out side at the Bean and Jake sat with us, there is a local dog that visits and no one seems to mind.) So I couldn't shop forever, the "boys" were waiting for me. We stopped for a walk at the CT Audubon Society's nature trail, Jake was in all his glory strutting his stuff and sniffing everything in every direction. There were the most amazing birds, I could have gotten some awesome photos. I saw more tad poles than I had ever seen before, the water was black with them! Speaking of black I saw dragonflies with black wings and metallic purple/blue bodies....breathtaking. When I came home I felt so happy. What a great day, and a fun and warm weekend. Ahhhhhhhhhh. I hope you enjoyed your weekend too!
