It's hard to believe tomorrow is Easter already! Well, I've been holed up down in my craft space trying to get some of the things on my to do list done before I have to go back to work on Monday and my list doesn't look any shorter! (insert sad face).
I've been working on a scrapbook for my daughter Jenn for her benefit we had back in June. I thought I was ready to do this and it's harder than I thought it would be, but I am now down to just three more double pages before it is completed. Jenn was diagnosed with Breast Cancer over an year ago and she has been through a lot this past year as a single mom with two beautiful boys. She made it, as she is cancer free!
My older daughter and a co-worker put together a benefit for Jenn, and it was very sucessful! The pictures are wonderful, looking at them and seeing how so many came to support her and all the items that were donated for the cause. It unbelievable how caring and supportive people you do not know are at times like this. It really blows you away!
Well, there is another cause out there that needs our support, so if you haven't seen Gina K's new "LOVE YOU TO PIECES" then you need to drop by http://stampsforacause.ginakdesigns.com/ see what all the talk is about. By purchasing this set, you will be helping to support a very important cause Autism Speaks. Did you know that 1 in every 133 children are affected? 3 out of 4 are boys. In truth it is amazing how many families this touches. So please go order your set now and $8.00 of your purchase will go to Autism Speaks.
OK, so I finally started on my Easter goodies this evening and will get pics posted tomorrow when the lighting is better as I seem to be in a learning curve with how to take pics that are good for posting. ")
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!
Thanks for stopping by!

Proud to be a Women
Spotted this on Scrappin Stef's blog and thought it was good to share!
It is good to be a woman:
1. We got off the Titanic first.
2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
3. Taxis stop for us.
4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
5. No fashion faux pas we make, could ever rival the Speedo.
6. We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.
9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.
11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked
12. If we marry someone 20 years younger,we are aware that we will look like an idiot.
13. We will never regret piercing our ears
14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.
15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

Treat yourself
I am just loving this bella. Makes me think of my best friend in Az. When we were neighbors in California and things were stressful or we just wanted to have a few hours of me time, we would call one another and say time to go for a cup of coffee at IHOP! So this card is going to be in the mail tomorrow to Arizona and even thought we can meet at IHOP, we will still share a cup of coffee and think of each other.
Spring flowers
Well, not sure what happen to the beginning of Spring, we are in the 40's and not looking to get back to some Spring weather until sometime next week hopefully. We had high 80's on Monday and Tuesday and dropped to the 40's Wednesday evening. I took my three youngest grandsons to the park on Tuesday and forgot the sunscreen, (not good) as they all ended up with sunburn on their faces and necks. Boy did I feel so bad, poor little guys.
With Spring break this week, I'm not getting as much stamping done as I would of like too. I've been spending my time playing with the grandsons, since I don't always have the chance with working full time. I had Matthew and Nicholas spend the night on Monday and Taylor on Tuesday and enjoyed my time with them so much. Nicholas decided he was going to be a big boy and learn to use the potty chair. He is such a character and we had to get out some stickers and a piece of card stock taped to the refrig so we could show our process with each time we made it to the chair. He actually did quite well, only one accident and of course that because mama forgot to ask him if it was time while he was busy playing outside.
Tonight I was able to spend some time with my stamps and took a stab at making a diagonal tri- fold card. Decided to make it for an Easter card. I even cut on some of my Basic Gray paper and liked the Springing look of this Phoebe paper.

It's in the genes
Sorry, lots of post today but one last item before I leave for the day. I will be having company spending the night tonight so won't have time to play on the computer. Our little nickleman and Moose will be spending the night at mamas tonight so I will be playing with the grandson.
Ok - I walked into Hunter's room the other day and found his creative juices where working as he created his very own railroad town with anything and everything he could find. Yes that is cardboard, milk carton and your guess is as good as mine. I will be hiding my chip board from him that's for sure.
Happy hello
A Happy Monday to everyone, another bella creation with flowahbella. Thanks for visiting, all comments welcome.
