Been in a downer mood..

I have been in a depressing mood lately. I guess its finally getting to me not having any friends out here to hang with. Its gotten to the point where I dont want to do anything except sit and read. Im pretty much giving up trying so hard and still having noone who wants to hang out with me or at least return my calls. But anyways...here are some cards I made on Friday to have on display for the event I did Saturday. Most are cased from someone else but since most of the time when I see something I like. I just print if it to make later. So it'll be hard and time consuming to give credit where credit is deserved. Also there are simply too many cards to sit here and give out the recipes for. So if you see something you like and wanna know what I used to make it, leave a comment. Thanks!

Samples for Display

Making display cards

First, as I was checking my reports I noticed that I got promoted to Senior Asst. YAY!! So as a congrats gift my upline Nicole gave me this super cute note pad and book. Isnt it funny that I just used that same paper for my last card. LOL! Then since I am doing more vendor events I went over to her house yesterday and made some cards to have on display. I am going to be making quite a bit more today, will post tomorrow. And finally, I received a question from Tammy about my flashcards. As you can see in the picture I used a rotary cutter to cut the chip board. Note that now that I used it for chip board..I'll have to buy another one that is only for fabric. Its about 2 1/2 X 5 1/2. What I did was made a template for the inside cards and add some cm and cut the board, then used that board to cut the second piece. Its probably alot easier to just get the On Board Accents and use the pieces from that. Also it looks like they used the tag corner punch for the inside cards. Its alot of work, or mostly...it just takes alot of time. Im also going to put eyelets on the covers so it'll move smoothly and look nicer. Like I said in the other post...its not quite done yet. I hope that answer your question Tammy! Thanks for asking!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Well I had a very busy pleasant Mother's Day yesterday. In the morning, DH made breakfast for me....but I had to walk him thru the whole process. Who would have thought pancakes were so difficult! LOL! Then he took my oldest son to get some flowers..as you can see here. I just planted some lilies in the front of the house so I think thats why Donovan picked these. I just love lilies!! DH also helped him write his name on the card...sooo cute. They also got a balloon but it got a hole as soon as they got home...oh well, its the thought right?! Then we all went to a going away party for one of DH's buddies. It was at a beautiful lakeside park in post. Very pretty but was very windy. Donovan wanted to go fishing sooo bad. Well have to get him a fishing pole soon. Then we went to Target and Kohls for Mother's Day sales. Then DH was craving spagetti for dinner so we went to Dirty Dave's pizza and spagetti palor...it is very rare to get a nice meal for the 3(1/2) of us for only $20!!!! So over all it was a very nice Mother's Day.

ABC Flashcards

Here is the ABC flashcards I made last night. I only got to O, still outta of red paper. I pretty much copied page 157 in the SU catty with minor changes. I thinks its just sooo cute! Well I just got back from an event I did in Auburn, only 7 other vendors and hardly any people stopping by. But I got a good lead with one of the vendors and I got a free foot massage!!! YAY! So not a total waste of time. I wanted to make up a bunch of mother's day cards to sell but I dont have any SU mother's day stamps. Plus I had 1 day notice of the event so no time to get one...oh well..live and learn right?
