Today is the first day...

Well today I stopped smoking! I went and bought the patch...had my last smoke and slapped that patch on my arm! I don't know why but just in the past few weeks, I just don't want to smoke anymore. I have wanted to so many times before but only went a day or so and broke down. This time...I WILL QUITE! I put away all the ashtrays, lighters, and cleaned my house. I want to be healthy for my kids and live long enough to see my grandkids!! I don't want to smell like a cig any more. I don't want to be attached always making sure I have my smokes with me. I thought about it and I have been smoking for 25 years! I know this will be the hardest thing to get through and I am scared. I am worried that I won't be able to do it. It's been sooo long that I don't remember how it was to NOT smoke. For all of you reading this, I would love some support. Well it's been 1 day down and the rest of my long life to go!

Some LO's of my DD

I just love the brown and pink together so I made this LO of my DD when she was born.

Another pink and brown LO. This is my DD when she was 3 years old.

My little girl in Kindergarden!

We just had to get some pictures taken of her so we took her to Glamour Shots...Just love this picture of her!

This LO is my DD and my DN. A "Now and Then"

My Daughter is starting a new chapter in her life!

My DD is 20...will be 21 in July and she is moving into her own place!!! I am sooo excited for her but sad at the same time. I want to hold onto her for ever! But I am so very proud of her! She has been working really hard for this and I think she is ready! We go and sign the lease tomorrow! So tonight we are SHOPPING!!! Ikea will be our first stop! You all know I will be taking a TON of pictures so I will update tomorrow sometime on her new stuff!

Happy Friday!

This is a card I made for one of my husbands co-workers. Her grandmother is turning 75 and wanted a special card for her.

My Valentine Cards

This is my first attempt at making a "Waterfall" card. Each heart has a word on it...it reads:

1st heart Will

2nd heart You

3rd heart Be

4th heart My

Then you pull the tab on the bottom in it reads: Valentine

I used the sewing maching on this one...I am always afraid that I am going to break the needle...LOL

This card was so much fun to make!!

This was another fun card to make. I cut the flowers out with my Cricut and then used my fingernails to curl the edges.

I made the background paper myself. I used a big background stamp and heat empossed it. I also used a embossing marker for the inside of the flowers.

This card was a challenge from another website I am on and decided to make it into a valentines cards!

A Special Thanks!

I want to send a special thanks to my friend Michelle for helping me with my blog...I wasn't sure how to do all this...Thanks Michelle!!!
