1000 SHEETS OF PAPER BLOG CANDY!

Hi guys.

Just a quick one this morning. Have to work! I am sure by now that you all have heard that Amy Young has used 1000 sheets of DP this last year and with is coming only two short weeks after her blog-aversary she has decided once again to give some wonderful CANDY!

Thanks for sharing Amy, both your talents and your great stamps and paper. :D

Well, I have to get a move on. Be sure to stop by her awesome blog and share your love... Have a great start to your weekend.

Hugs, Lisa G

MADE FOR YOU...

Let me just say sorry for all the photos. I was trying to get a better view of the glitter on the cupcake and the ribbons. For some reason it would not let me delete the set of photos that I didn't want to use. Sorry!

Good morning all.

I hope that you are all doing well. I am have to make this quick again this morning, as once again I am running behind. Gggrrrrr! I am not sure why, but I have not been able to get to bed any earlier than one o'clock every night this week. Of course I still need to be up early for work, sooooo I am dragging a little. I have to say that I am usually the one person with the exception of my Son that can go to bed and be out in a matter of minutes. Needless to say this is driving me buggy.. Oh well, what's a girl to do? heehee....

Ok, getting to my card this morning. Well, I just had to color up Cupcake Anya. She is one of the awesome stamps that I won from The Greeting Farm this week and she is just so darn adorable! I wasn't aware until I was posting this card that I seem to be in a pink and yellow mood. lol...(Not my normal colors) Maybe I am still just so excited about winning all those stamps that the colors are coming from my mood when I see the stamps. heehee.

Well I better get a move on. Don't want to be late for work. I hate that! So guys, have a great day and I will talk at you tomorrow.

Hugs, Lisa G

A LITTLE MONDAY MANIA ON WEDNESDAY...

Hi guys.

Well, as you can see I am running super behind this morning. I am about 25 minutes away from hitting the road and I still have to do my hair and iron my clothes. So, with that being said I will get right to it. My card today is for the Monday Mania Challenge over at CA&F. If you don't already know about it, you should check it out here. I used the super cute SuperStar Anya and put the Mom head on her from Mom and Dad. I just love her sweet face, and if I ever get ambitious I am going to open her eyes up. heehee...

Ok, I better hit it. I think I will come back and add my supplies tonight. Until then, have a great day. Hugs, Lisa G

JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT...

Good morning everyone. OMWord, where do I start? Hmmmm... First let me say thank you to all of you for your prayers for Madison. We had her appointment with the heart specialist yesterday, and they did an echo cardiogram on her...Let me just say I don't think she could be in better hands. They where all so kind and very good about telling her (and us) everything they were doing and seeing as they were doing it. Great, great Dr! The wonderful news is that her heart is very healthy! He said that she has one of the healthiest hearts he has seen and that other than being a preteen and having growing pains he really did not see anything to worry about. My goodness, he sat in the exam room with us for over an hour just talking to us and explaining everything he saw and thought might be going on. He was great about talking to Madison and making sure that she understood it all. As he went over the little things everything he said made perfect sense. He was very sweet about not making me feel bad for worrying about her. He also reassured us that if it had been his Daughter and he had gotten so much conflicting information that he would be right where we were. He did kid me about my ability to worry. lol... His wife is Italian like I am and he was joking about the fact that Italian Mommies have the greatest ability to worry. lol. He went so far as to tell Madison to keep her Italian worrying to a minimum. Aside from having to keep a journal about the pains, Madison does not have to go back unless something new comes up.

Alright, if you have hung in this long I will get to my next two topics today...This one is one that I am still giggling inside about. I am one of the very, very lucky winners from the Greeting Farm's Anniversary blog hop that won the entire August release! I really can not believe it...I am just so happy!If I didn't think I was being greedy, I would play the Lotto this week.. heehee

Oh man am I going to have soooo much fun coloring these wonderful stamps... Yay, me! :D

Ok, now onto my project for today. I have been having fun trying out new things these last couple of weeks, and so I decided to make this mug that I saw on youtube. I am so sorry that I don't remember whose blog or video I was watching. Just know that I did not come up with this one my own, but it is super easy to make and this one is just one that I whipped together this morning before we headed to Madie's appointment. (Had to keep busy while both Madie and Jerry took their showers.) Mitchell went up to Grandma and Grandpa's. (He hates Drs even when he is not the patient.)

I used my Mom and Dad set from the Greeting Farm because I just think they are so sweet and I have yet to use them on anything. I do have to confess that the coloring is not that great as I stamped them and put it one the already made mug, then decided that they needed color. lol.... I had no intention to make it a project for anyone to see, but it was just so fun to make that I could not wait to make a second one to share with you. I am going to make some of these for Christmas goodies for teachers, fellow employees and that kind of thing. I can already see what I want to do.

Alright guys, I work today so I better get going. Have a wonderful day all. Talk at you tomorrow. Lisa G.

HOPE YOUR DAY IS CHERRY...

Hi guys.

Welcome to my first post for the new blog Lollipop Crafts. I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful group of ladies. I am still pinching myself that they asked me to be a part of this. I can not wait to learn lots from everyone.

Today kicks off Lollipop Crafts first Challenge and the theme was picked by our wonderfully talented Kris. She decide on Anything goes, and it is being sponsored by Meljen's Designs . Be sure to check them out. I know you are going to love their variety of digi stamps.

I can not believe how quickly this weekend went. We had a great time with the family for the kids' Birthday party. We did have a huge thunderstorm the night before, followed by a wind storm late in the afternoon on Saturday so no swimming this weekend. Oh well, Don't want to prune to much. lol...

Well guys, after the long weekend of the kids' birthdays and TGF's anniversary I am ready to get to it.

Please keep us in your prayers today. We go to see the heart Dr for Madison today and I am hoping to get some answers. Until tomorrow, have a good one.

Hugs, Lisa G
