You are my sunshine

This week was a very emotional one. Nevertheless, I managed to fix up a page. A little while back I received a big box of left over paper from a couple of friends. Since that day I used 99% of the paper for my cards and pages out of that particular box. What a great gift!

Monday Monday

The past week was a very busy but productive one. On Monday my sweet daughter-in-law Rebecca and my grandson lil' Nick spent time with me as we were going to make cards for my son's 21st birthday. I posted the card I made in my previous blog posting. My neighbor/friend Amy came over with her daughter Ashlyn and we all had lunch together. We worked on Ashlyn's birthday invitations, which turned out absolutely fabulous!

Tuesday I needed to clean out my crib, what a mess one can make! Especially when you're having fun.

Wednesday was my baby boy's 21st birthday. His pappa(Dutch for dad) came from the Netherlands. They hadn't seen each other in 7 years so you can imagine it was a special day.

They stayed at Panama City Beach for a few days. My daughter Brandi and her two little boys, Carter and Mason, Amy and Ashlyn and my eight year old, Emma, and I went to celebrate with them at the beach for a day. We had a great time together. I just love my family!

I was on an extreme high having such a great day with my children and grandchildren for the rest of the week, actually, I still am. I am so blessed! 

 I forgot all about wearing my daughters 
Disney princess glasses, haha

I stayed busy busy busy, I registered for Summer classes, attended Field day on Friday, took a trip to Georgia on Saturday and worked two night shifts.

Thank God for Mondays!

Happy Birthday Nick!

Tomorrow my youngest son will be 21 years old. Doesn't time fly! 

I made him a card in his favorite color, lime green. 

After having an absolute blast making this card I thought it would be cute to make a matching gift card holder. Tell me what you think.

I found this beautiful embellishment at a Michaels store

The small banner at the right is the same brand as the embellishment at the front of the card. It reads "Joint At The Heart"

This is the front of the gift-card holder and the card fits just snug as a bug.

The back looks like this. I can't wait to give it to him.

Happy Birthday Nick!
