Happy Anniversary Darling!!

Oh Happy Day!!! Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my DT posts yesterday... hope it inspired you to join in on the fun... fabulous prizes are being given away, so you don't want to miss a thing!! i didn't forget, i just didn't have time to post about it, but Happy Belated Boys' Day to all that have boys... i didn't make any treats for boys' day because i don't have any boys... BUT, that will soon change... 99.9% sure we hope.. LOL... had my ultrasound yesterday and we are having a BOY!!! i couldn't believe it! i was for sure it would be another girl... that was a nice gift in celebration of boys' day for the hubby... Yay!!

Today is another very special day in my life... May 6, 2001 is when the hubby and i started dating... we made it legal and official on May 6, 2006... so today, we celebrate 9 years of being together... married for 4 years, but together for 9... wow!! ups and downs, rain and shine, we made it through... TOGETHER!! so today's showcase is the anniversary card i made for him...
this is the inside of the card...
i just loved the colors on this new Bo Bunny papers and bought a few sheets at BFC's last ad sale... it was perfect to make a loving and somewhat elegant anniversary card... i used the cake topper Ian and Anya couple from TGF and many flower and foliage punches... lots of layering and rhinestones... also entered this into the CA&F Wild Card Wednesday - May Flowers challenge happening over on the blog now...

Hubby asked what i wanted for our anniversary and mother's day together... he thought i'd ask for another set of diamonds... LOL... but then i said, "more craft supplies?" hahaha!! he just laughed... well, it could be cheaper than diamonds right?!? keyword is could.... =D

now i need to finish up some Mother's day cards... boy am i busy... and then i have to go through a whole bunch of DD#2's clothes and give some to charity... since we finally know what our next baby will be, it's time we can get rid of things we were saving... Thank you for stopping by today... hope you enjoyed viewing this card... should have a few more to share soon... next card to share will be the one i made for my April OCS partner... See you all soon!! for now... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY DARLING HUSBAND!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Valentine Treats...

Happy ALOHA Friday!!! ooh, can't wait to start my 3 day weekend... okay maybe not... i don't count Monday as a do nothing day... it's gonna be a busy one... anyway, i hope you all enjoy the last day of the week and are ready as ever to get your groove on for the weekend!

here's my episode of Wild Card Wednesday at CA&F on a Friday... LOL... this week the challenge is issued by their guest designer Lysa and boy did she throw out a great challenge... Lysa wants to see you create those Valentine's treats! perfect for me to get my buns moving on my Vday creations... but, in the midst of creating my 1st one, i think i threw my shoulder out cause boy does it hurt... thankfully the DH wrapped it for me... should be better today... here's a pix of both creations as i made 2 for this challenge... the mailbox was my first, but i didn't like it very much so i decided to make something else...
this double pix of the mailbox just shows it with the flap closed and the bottom pix of the flap open with the goodies sticking out... my concept was there, it just didn't turn out the way i really wanted it to... still think it's cute though... i didn't follow any patterns... it was basically free hand... used some scrap, cut it down to the size i wanted and then bent the heart DP over some solid CS... cut a strip of scrap CS and used a heart nestie for the flag...i like this one better... i used the biggest heart nestie for the base... then cut strips of plain CS to hold the 2 hearts together and then just decorated the outsides... on the front i used a 2 size smaller heart nestie and then adhered Little Pink Anya (my version of little red riding hood, LOL) using pop up glue dots... punched out some hearts that i layered to use for the front and the back... also use the tiny hearts to glue here and there... on the back i did the same thing except for the extra heart nestie in place of the image... to and from will fit perfectly on the round edges of the red heart.... too bad i couldn't find it in my signature set... well i have the from, don't know where the to went... inside this treat holder i stuffed some conversation hearts that are individually wrapped... mmmm, sweetness...

Both Alice Anya and Little Red (or Pink) Anya is from the Signature set available at TGF.... these Anya's fit perfect on small treats and so forth...

Thank you everyone for your get well wishes... your comments really put the extra light in my days... so happy to have such caring and thoughtful friends!! although i'm feeling much better (sick wise) now my arm is in pain! LOL... gosh does it ever end.... hope it heals up soon, don't want to waste a good weekend mending my arm... Wish you all a HAPPY day and i'll chat with you all again soon!!! Huggies!!

CASE of Aloha!

Wow! what a day has it been... ok, so it didn't stop raining by the time i left for work which had me squeezing the whole 15 minute drive... it was still dark out which made it even worse... darkness, rain, do not mix with me.... so i'm driving with 2 hands on the steering wheel, scared shirtless everytime someone merges next to my lane... was very relieved when i finally reached the parking lot to my office... ok, maybe not because there were a bunch of weirdos hanging out in the rain the next building over... so i lock myself in my car, checking out my surroundings... finally i see one of the probation officers pull up and i knew it was my que to hurry up and get in the gates before he walked to his building... yah, i know this is hawaii and all, but man are there some whackos out there... LOL, you'd think i was writing a horror story or something... LOL.... no, it's real life...

eventually the rain subdued and the sun tried to shine through... went to the hospital at 11 am and waited 2 hours for a doctor to finally release Grandma... so, I officially brought her home today... it was nice that my boss gave me the rest of the day off... umm, not exactly, i'm using up some family care day vacay... i'm surprised we even have something like that... but hey, why not... then i come home to my sweet DD#2 with a 102.3 temp..... ugh... so after rocking her to sleep (along with my arm) i managed to get in some craft time... =D
a k-lusive kreation made for the Wild Card Wednesday challenge over at Club Anya and Friends... this week, we are to CASE the fabulous creation by Robin Mck... you can see her card and read up on the official rules over on the blog... trying to use up my mounds of scrap, i decided to use these pretty sparkly papers from DCWV... basing my solid colors on blue and yellow... oh i just LOVE HG Sing... and you can get her from TGF.... the sentiment is from the Anya says set that you can also get there... funny, this CASE-d card is an addition to a case of goodies being sent out this weekend... alright, not a case but a box... LOL... same difference right!?

well, hope you stuck with me until the end... my horror story (LOL), my good and bad news and then my creation... i'll have one more for you tomorrow... probably sometime during nightfall... Wish you all a wonderful night... Thanks for visiting me today... you know you all make me smile... feels good to be back on a somewhat daily basis... =D
