We met my SIL Beth and her family down there. They were staying for a while but we went down for a day and had fun shopping at the Super Scrapbook Store together. I bought some new JustRite stamp sets and knew which one I wanted to use to make a special card for Sandy. I stamped and punched out the center and it just set on my desk forever. This past week I made her card. It was hard to get a good picture but here it is:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4ET7rqvdD3wY2g6oRbEUUcNFU5wHozVJouvR7XgwMjS7EghZIVWZE0VLKPbLPx1AZaxI6FLqhfL0nEzjYKcXHcG_6aI8npdprHG9s5A_YDg0f0L2fznfEIynKXu5P9GfmziGsgUlCwtoM/s1600/100_3781.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578900989078258290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4ET7rqvdD3wY2g6oRbEUUcNFU5wHozVJouvR7XgwMjS7EghZIVWZE0VLKPbLPx1AZaxI6FLqhfL0nEzjYKcXHcG_6aI8npdprHG9s5A_YDg0f0L2fznfEIynKXu5P9GfmziGsgUlCwtoM/s400/100_3781.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOkzlBti1K1LWnz332mrrBpRhCbJvwa6OqrEaVVVvvRlnURiVixykUretsy_ic_xfyt6Eqp5S9K1ohSj_FmCbrnFklhvH9tqnexu08-SqP6Ihmi1LvHX9wQjGQnB9CdCyaYq9vNlzraiJD/s1600/100_3774.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578900556615416386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOkzlBti1K1LWnz332mrrBpRhCbJvwa6OqrEaVVVvvRlnURiVixykUretsy_ic_xfyt6Eqp5S9K1ohSj_FmCbrnFklhvH9tqnexu08-SqP6Ihmi1LvHX9wQjGQnB9CdCyaYq9vNlzraiJD/s400/100_3774.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Supplies Used:</div><div>Stamp-JustRite Kaleidoscope Set</div><div>Paper-Hip & Lux.

It was a really rough time for her. When she got out she came and stayed a week with us. She went home for the holidays and loved being with her family. She has had a lot of struggles. Mainly not eating. She can't taste anything and she can't hardly swallow. Her mouth is so dry. They have done many test on her and everything keeps coming back good, praise God for that! Time will tell how much better it will get. She has lost 100 pounds and is looking great. The most recent trouble are her kidneys loosing quite a bit of function. So we will have to find out what is going on with that. She has come back to church 2 weeks ago and it was so good to see here there. The great news is that she and her daughter's family are all going down to Florida this spring to spend a week with her Dad.

She has been so strong, going through 2 very strong chemo treatments....3 days each in the hospital, since the first week of June. We are waiting 2 more weeks to see if her tumors have shrunk enough so they can start her stem cell transplant in August. If they haven't, they will put her back in the hospital for the third round of chemo. If you would, please take a small amount of your time after you read this and say a prayer for Sandy.

Thursday she starts a new job, what she calls "My Big Girl Job!" She graduated this past December with a degree in Business Management. When <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Rach</span></span> turned 16, she had me take her to Bob Evans <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Restaurant</span> to apply for a serving job. She has worked there for almost 7 years. Also, over 3 years ago she applied to Montgomery Inn Boathouse over looking the Ohio River. She was hired in as a hostess, while working on getting her experience(at Bob Evans) to become a server there. To serve at the boathouse, you need 4 years of serving experience. It's one of Cincinnati's Finest <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Restaurant</span>.......all the Cincinnati Bengals eat there, all out of town sports teams, lots of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">celebrities</span> such as our local- Nick <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Lachey</span></span>, and the most famous person she has waited on, was President, George W. Bush! She was on the news and in the newspaper with the President!!! How many can say that??? After a 1 1/2 years they made her a server there. She has done so much already with her life, worked 2 part time jobs while going to school full time. This past month she applied to Bob Evans for a managers job and they hired her, being the youngest manager at 22.<br /><br />She can't wait to start this new phase of her life. If your wondering, yes, she is still hanging on to her job at the Boathouse. She told them that she will be training for about 10 weeks and they are willing to work with her. She is such a hard worker. We had fun today shopping for new clothes for her new job. Rachel will be getting up at 4:00 A. M. to be there by 5:00!!! We're SO PROUD OF YOU, RACHEL! LOVE YA, Mom & Dad.<br /><br />I know, I love this polka dot paper!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2H8QzI0CTeUJGm64KQq0Al9GRXalVB6UdOPZTp9QY2Ngfx8HeV3tihtSGX7rfUcs0FNLow-G1wBwM6kLXyZ5rDf3ByqnP74laAWrKY0rbId2m2sxJNNhEn2q_PRJDYMBJRdcnELK9euhN/s1600/cards+060.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2H8QzI0CTeUJGm64KQq0Al9GRXalVB6UdOPZTp9QY2Ngfx8HeV3tihtSGX7rfUcs0FNLow-G1wBwM6kLXyZ5rDf3ByqnP74laAWrKY0rbId2m2sxJNNhEn2q_PRJDYMBJRdcnELK9euhN/s400/cards+060.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486001688029996546" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Close up<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZReVYtzEBXJn1pb0o-JtY_M9GBuoUFFiKE2isLWOxQQOOkiQxxSbupH7_EFIDIwPF7UP2N51He9B36hyphenhyphenuNZeNI52RYukX9Zq4KUW3oSnIsIxg78su6bl9ysY3jfiTRAIViubsMnz50Yc/s1600/cards+038.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZReVYtzEBXJn1pb0o-JtY_M9GBuoUFFiKE2isLWOxQQOOkiQxxSbupH7_EFIDIwPF7UP2N51He9B36hyphenhyphenuNZeNI52RYukX9Zq4KUW3oSnIsIxg78su6bl9ysY3jfiTRAIViubsMnz50Yc/s400/cards+038.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485777291898850802" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I used:<br /><br />Stamp-Stamps Happen Inc.-Right Accessories<br />Paper-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">PTI</span>-Pure Poppy, Beautiful Blooms, White, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ATD</span> Pure Textured <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Cardstock</span> Pad<br />Ink-Memento Black<br />Accessories-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Kaisercraft</span> pearls, Diamond <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Stickles</span>, Spellbinders, MS Punch, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">PTI</span> envelope die,<br />Ribbon, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Copics</span>-R27, 100, C3 and blender<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!<br />BrendaBrendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04863021005992335153noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707772630973983682.post-45863455806466630902010-06-18T13:29:00.003-04:002010-06-22T21:51:41.370-04:00Smile!

It's 85 and hot. I came in from outside working on opening up the pool. Wish I could jump in, but it's not ready yet. Adding more water to it and need to scrub the cover. I will miss my pool cover friends. I would go out between 6-7 most evenings and feed bread to my married couple--the mallard ducks. I also will miss seeing a hawk bathe himself and the frog or toad..could never tell which, I will miss his croaking at night. I know the mallards will be back next year because we 've had them for several years now. The others I will have to wait to see. Below is the hawk and I will see if I can find the duck pics from last year. (I think it's on my old computer). Enjoy!<br /><br />Hawk<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDAScWpq447LIBCjsWY8iCQR7NKEHmK8Y7qJmZ99sybQSL7jezKr9iONAwX9ruvc6ZhL0QeLIy9d0mR7hkWJRW17lx1xpynBB-dXf89TY3anuz7c900UJSiPkLIlA0l-ZXXsqdnQaDsntP/s1600/cards+012.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDAScWpq447LIBCjsWY8iCQR7NKEHmK8Y7qJmZ99sybQSL7jezKr9iONAwX9ruvc6ZhL0QeLIy9d0mR7hkWJRW17lx1xpynBB-dXf89TY3anuz7c900UJSiPkLIlA0l-ZXXsqdnQaDsntP/s400/cards+012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474953148166115842" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbue25qiENi0Qx4ScFBfySOw1VIer2fNsVct-QUYrUQyhcJHLEAeAmhFV83U9_xDhWyw71yTTmZ4yS4z9bjFyxK-CeJmtoRGvOZtdBUx4-pMLIegx5CTsPZ6bxf7ZLorhgPVCQIk1X27tA/s1600/cards+013.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbue25qiENi0Qx4ScFBfySOw1VIer2fNsVct-QUYrUQyhcJHLEAeAmhFV83U9_xDhWyw71yTTmZ4yS4z9bjFyxK-CeJmtoRGvOZtdBUx4-pMLIegx5CTsPZ6bxf7ZLorhgPVCQIk1X27tA/s400/cards+013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474953661449631010" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Finally, I got to play with my goodies and made this card.

They were originally $19.99 for a box of 24 and I paid $3.99 for each one! I purchased the 2 boxes that they had. What a deal! Each of the 48 boxes were stamped 8 different times....my hand did get tired!!! I used a mixture of many different stamp sets. The Ink is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">PTI's</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Rasberry</span></span> Fizz and of course it looked too plain and I did put a pearl on both ends in the middle of the flourish. I really loved how they turned out and they went so well with Sandy's pink and yellow color scheme.

This card was made right before I went to Florida for a few days last week. I didn't get to post it before I left...wasn't even sure if I wanted to!!! Did you ever feel like you just didn't hit a home run with your card? I don't love it...but I don't want to mess with it anymore! So, here's the card, it's been sitting here long enough. I bought the 2 stamps last year when I went to the CHA show in Orlando. I really like the stamps.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdx_pc-lj2E88nfFLwrgTeYJMifZw51_o0GCwL7i2A-XtA6fJM-FbQAEfZZo_EMQPvpSPh6tCE82JDsKKbEGKL-NyiFgcOk7guuFPAND-TyCO7v7MdwaBFE142cbXQQ-6CpBDVMxmJDRIY/s1600/cards+002.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdx_pc-lj2E88nfFLwrgTeYJMifZw51_o0GCwL7i2A-XtA6fJM-FbQAEfZZo_EMQPvpSPh6tCE82JDsKKbEGKL-NyiFgcOk7guuFPAND-TyCO7v7MdwaBFE142cbXQQ-6CpBDVMxmJDRIY/s400/cards+002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470969678134166162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Stamps-Queens Ink stamps<br />Paper-PTI black and white, DCWV DP<br />Accessories-Cuttlebug, KaiserCraft Rhinestones,Silver Glitter, Reasonable Ribbon,<br />Tag Maker-rectangle<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in!

I Won--TwiceI'm on a lucky streak!!! Last week I signed up to be a follower on Elizabeth Crocker's blog. Her generous gift was to let the person who would be her 50th follower pick a print from her gallery of photos. Well, Beth let us know that 2 of us signed up at the same time and she is letting us both be winners! Beth has a huge gallery in Flickr of her work. She takes a variety of different subjects-- which made my choice very hard. I had a half a dozen I was looking at, but when it was all said and done I choose "Beautiful Blue Boken," it's a flower that grows in the state of Texas, which is where Beth is from. Visit her gallery and her blog<a href="http://www.elizabethcrocker.com/live/"> <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Here</span></a>.<br /><br />Then yesterday when I got home from church, I checked and saw that I won a very cute stamp from Debbie Doncaster all the way from South Yorkshire, United Kingdom! How cool is that! Debbie cards are done beautifully with her use of Copic Markers. Also on her blog, she has outstanding pictures of her garden.

How's your Wednesday late afternoon going? It's such a beautiful day today, I just love the sunshine! I made this card for a friend at church. She has had it very, very, rough for the last 6 months or so. Her young daughter just finished up all her treatments for breast cancer. She just returned from out of town after celebrating the last treatment and came home to some very sad news that her mother only had a few months to live. Well, this past week her mother died. She has really gone through a lot and I wanted to make her up a card. I hope it picks her up even if it's for only a few seconds.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjduwdXPEsmmEHoZ0UnmPRboyZDRjMLLeTdMP89unn6bm8p9z2Y8pkJI7AU2Jh67Wu-25y7veTmdTStSNJDnaf_0xSTTrutB7Wgih5WtWd7Pm9m1BLZK3ZPSbN8_L76hok6cyXg3hH96Bcp/s1600/cards+045.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjduwdXPEsmmEHoZ0UnmPRboyZDRjMLLeTdMP89unn6bm8p9z2Y8pkJI7AU2Jh67Wu-25y7veTmdTStSNJDnaf_0xSTTrutB7Wgih5WtWd7Pm9m1BLZK3ZPSbN8_L76hok6cyXg3hH96Bcp/s400/cards+045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465298790486608594" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Close up...I really like using pearls!...(I think you know that by now.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiJK-77ILlgDt5RsL0AaTWx7RlcGZ59jAHkFw7HYychK1YBqdOXOploqtJEMIen7tj3EuNk00L4EbdZHSH1K2_iL__SiPJ2j8BYD2qngEbWj9grzpxmwquMh4A1JI7L23bBgep6bROxpw5/s1600/cards+049.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiJK-77ILlgDt5RsL0AaTWx7RlcGZ59jAHkFw7HYychK1YBqdOXOploqtJEMIen7tj3EuNk00L4EbdZHSH1K2_iL__SiPJ2j8BYD2qngEbWj9grzpxmwquMh4A1JI7L23bBgep6bROxpw5/s400/cards+049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465299528252261714" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Card Size 5 1/2 x 4 1/4<br />Supplies:<br />Stamp-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">JustRite</span> Stamp Thinking of You Borders and Center Ovals<br />Paper- <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">PTI</span>-Sweet Blush, Smokey Shadow, Select white, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">DCWV</span>-Adhesive Mat Stack Prints<br />Spellbinder Ovals, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">EK</span> Success Punch, MS Metallic Weave Ribbon,<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Kaisercraft</span> Pearls,<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"> Copic</span> Markers-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">YG</span>03, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">YG</span> 07, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Stickles</span>-Diamond<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to stop and read....I really do appreciate it!<br /><br />BrendaBrendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04863021005992335153noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707772630973983682.post-24304593494407637312010-04-20T19:47:00.012-04:002010-04-21T19:26:40.172-04:00It's the Little Things...Hello Again!
