Many Thanks

Hello crafty peeps! I hope you're having a great week. I just returned from a trip to Nashville, TN for my brother's wedding. Because of Lexi's health issues, I made it a very quick trip.... back & forth between California & Nashville in 72 hours! Needless to say, I'm a wee bit tired. The wedding was amazing & I had so much fun, but I'm glad to be back home with Lexi & my other babies.

For today's post, I have a set of four 4 x 4" thank you cards. I just got this stamp from CTMH & I think it is so stinkin' adorable! I also made matching envelopes, which I am very into lately....

XOXO

Hello crafty friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday. I've been so consumed with taking care of Lexi that it's hard to focus on anything else. It turns out she is in kidney failure now, in addition to the liver tumor. It wasn't just an infection, like we had hoped it would be. For the most part she is in good spirits, so we just take it day by day & treasure every moment with her.

I have made numerous cards over the past few months, but have just never gotten around to posting most of them. So I'm going to start with this one....

SIZE:  A2

CRICUT:  Expression & Gypsy

CARTRIDGE:  "Simple Cards"

PAPER:  K&Company

EMBOSSING:  Cuttlebug with "Swiss Dots" folder

STAMPS:  CTMH "In My Heart" & "Simple Stitches"

INK:  CTMH Exclusive Inks "Desert Sand"

Giveaway Winner!

Hello friends! I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to announce the winner of my giveaway. We found out last week that, in addition to her liver tumor, Lexi is now in kidney failure. We had a really rough few days & I was thinking it was time, but then yesterday she sprang up with bright eyes & has been eating & she's taken me for 3 walks through the vineyard since yesterday. Miracle of miracles! I know not to get my hopes up because her condition is fatal, but I'm just enjoying & treasuring these days when she is her happy self again!


And now.... on to the winner!....

Congrats to you, Diana!!

I already have your shipping info, so I will get this prize bundle on its way to you early next week. 

Thank you to everyone who entered & I'll be back soon with some more cards to share!
