40 today!

Oh, how I wish!  But my ex daughter
in law's hubby will be 40 in 
a few days.  I consider her still
my daughter in law and him
my son in law and love them both 
very much.  When their children
were born they called
their parents and me!  They've
always made me feel included
with  all the kids, not just Bri
and Ethan and I'm grateful
for that.  Kids can use all the
love they can get.





I forgot to take a picture, so I had
to rip open the envelope
and make a new one, but I really
wanted a picture of this.  I love
how it turned out.

Another birthday for a dear friend
next month and here is
her card:





So pretty on the outside and a snarky
quote from Phyllis  Diller on
the inside.  One of the reasons for
that is that she sent me a picture
of a cat that was made up
to look like Phyllis Diller.  I don't know
where she finds this stuff, but it 
was hilarious!  So I
remembered I had this stamp and
thought it would be perfect.  Kelly
is as nutty as I am so we mesh
perfectly!  I barely hold on
to my sanity most days, but
that's OK.  The voices guide
me through and most of the
time they have some pretty good
ideas!  No, I don't really hear voices
(much) but my sister Robin says
I have multiple personalities
so that must be what I'm hearing...
Just kidding.  Maybe.  Have
you wondering now, don't I?  Well,
here's one thing for sure:  I don't
suffer from mental illness, I enjoy every
moment of it!!!!!!!

  5. I'll call you tomorrow or Sunday! I need to know how to make the envelopes. The set is really neat! It came with a paper cutter, cute edging scissors, 1000 pages of card stock, 500 pages of pretty paper, 500 stickers, glue, glitter tape, glue tape, ribbon and twine and all kinds of things! It has a booklet but shows mainly, scrapbook page ideas... I was looking more for tags and tassels and cut outs with a clear layer of plastic to keep them in for the "mint to be" jars for his wedding. I still need to work on my speech!!!! Lol! No clue! Lol! I will make him proud though. We will talk soon cause I need your help.

great design, not so great colour!

This card didn't come out like I hoped. I don't like the colour of the card stock. But it's still a great design. ...
