good {times} and rock bites

Hello! Thanks so much for all of the sweet comments you've been leaving for me lately. I can't tell you how much I appreciate them/you...especially when I know (all too well) how many things are vying for our time and attention. It means so much that you take the time to stop by. ;)

Our camping trip was a lot of fun, even if we did have rain EVERY single day...a little more than we expected it would too. We even opted not to go down the mountain and watch the fireworks show in Estes Park because of the threatening skies and cold temps. Guess that's a big part of what makes that area so green and beautiful...and I think it may have also helped to keep the mosquitoes at bay, so that was definitely a good thing. So even though some of our plans were frustrated, we didn't let the rain didn't dampen our spirits...each afternoon the guys would take the kids geo-caching and we ladies got to hang out without any responsibilities in their absence. Evenings were spent playing card games. And we did get in a little hiking and biking. All was good. Until the last five minutes of the trip.... It went something like this:

Son let Dog lead him on walk amongst big rocks near campsite while Hubby finished hooking up the trailer. (Dog thinks she's the boss; Son doesn't let her know otherwise.)

Ever-vigilant Daughter kept her eagle eyes on them from her vantage point on another rock pile while Mom was inside the trailer changing from tennies to flip flops in anticipation of the ride home just minutes away.

Dog spied a chipmunk and thought she should chase it. Something she'd been dying to do since we arrived three days earlier. Too bad it was on rocky terrain --big, rough, hard, sometimes slippery, moss-covered, and very unforgiving rocks.

Dog's sudden enthusiastic lunge caused Son to stumble...outside of Daughter's visual field.

Daughter loudly calls out Son's name.

Mom's ears perk up.

Son doesn't respond.

Daughter calls out to him again, asking if he's okay, while quickly climbing to area where Son was as she answers Mom's inquiry that Son fell.

Time stands still and Mom's blood instantly runs cold as her mind switches gears and entertains a number of frightening scenarios while tearing out of the trailer, running, full speed ahead, through the woods toward Daughter's voice. As Mom bounds up the first boulder, not thinking...or caring...that she's just broken her first rule of the weekend (NO flip flops on the rocks!), her flip flop (on the first and only foot on said boulder) with ZERO traction, slides two feet down the damp (translated: slick) moss-covered rock...bringing Mom and all her momentum down with it. Not in the plan.

Mom instinctively uses her palms to brace herself for the inevitable boulder body slam (no, it's not a new dance). When the clock starts ticking again and Mom's blood is definitely heated and flowing, Mom feels a stinging sensation and accompanying pain calling to her from several areas of her body (determined at a later time to be a baker's dozen...like when it was draining all the pleasure from her long-awaited shower --and I know that sounds kinda bad, but you know what I mean -lol!).

As Mom backs off her impromptu incline bed, she realizes that her other foot is no longer wearing its flip flop. As she reaches to put it back on, she is relieved to hear both Daughter and Son and calls out to see if Son is okay.

Daughter calls out that he is.

Mom climbs up and around the mean mountain to reach Daughter, Son, and Dog, thankful that no one {else} is hurt and recalling exactly why she incorporated the NO Flip Flops on Rocks rule.

Son, didn't fall. He did get a little scraped up, but thankfully was fine...other than becoming squeamish after seeing Mom's trembling, bloodied hands. lol Bless his heart, through all that, he didn't let go of Dog...cuz Huskies are prone to run and not return and we do NOT let ours off leash in public under ANY circumstances (no need to tempt fate here, cuz we're all quite attached to her).

The whole gang walks back to the campsite where Hubby, completely unaware of all that had just taken place in those last few minutes, is ready to go home. After he bandages Mom's hands.

Mom thought it was also a good time to let Son know that she'd do it all again. Although it doesn't compare, it reminded her of what Jesus' pierced and bloodied hands did for each of us on the cross...and He'd do it all again. Thank goodness He doesn't have to.

Okay, so here's the card I set out to share with you. lol I made it for my parents a little bit ago, because we always have such good times together. ;)

I used some Wild Saffron papers, a cute little Unity image and sentiment, and some glitter pen for sparkle (that doesn't show up in this photo). I think I was long-winded enough tonight, so I'll just leave it up to you to ask if you have any questions on the card.

My hands are healing nicely and I'm hoping to get in some stamping time this week. ;)

Thanks so much for the visit, and I hope you have a great week ahead and that you'll stop by again soon. Until then, many blessings to you!

Sorry this isn't stamping related, but I guess it could be (if you want to have money left in your bank account to use for more stamping supplies -lol). My mom just shared this with me (thanks, Mom!) and I thought it was something EVERYONE needs to be aware of. If you've never heard of check washing (and I hadn't), please take a few minutes to watch this AMAZING video. It's a good PSA...one that you may want to pass on as well.



I'm hoping to have something stamped to share with you later today, and I hope you're enjoying your Saturday! ;)

Thanks so much for the visit, and I hope you'll stop by again soon. Until then, many blessings to you!

you {so} deserve it

Yep, she does! And I'm gonna brag for a minute. Oh, and maybe I should warn you that it's kinda one of those 'bursting heart' posts. lol

***Remember, I'm still not really here --still camping and no doubt having a great time...even without electricity (but I AM definitely looking forward to taking a really long, hot shower and feeling clean again! lol). ;) Hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend!***

Okay, so back to the braggin'....

This special girl of mine just finished a grueling semester at college, taking a full load of classes while working an average of 60 hours/week (at her 40-hr per week, very demanding job...yeah, they seem to think she's super human...and by literally doing the work of three employees, she obviously isn't doing much to dissuade them)! There were times that she had computer problems (which caused big issues with some of her assignments), times when she got only a couple hours of sleep at night, times when she kept going even though she was sick from all the stress and fatigue, but she kept pushing forward. Monica apparently went above and beyond what her classmates did because she found favor with her teachers and they commended her time and again on the quality of her work, and one teacher in particular even went so far as to copy EVERY assignment she'd handed in to keep as a shining example to show her future students.

If you're still with me (thank you!) and are getting the impression she's sharp as a tack, you're right. She takes after her mama. lol Well, actually I'm pretty sure she's running circles around me and the pace I kept at her age. She knows what she wants and she's making a mad dash to get there. That pace would kill me...and probably most others her age! But after focusing more on her job than school for the last few years, she's more determined than ever to get through school as quickly as possible and is doing all she can to get there. And I know when she finishes, she's gonna make a wonderful teacher! Of course, she'll be a wonderful asset to any profession, as she's already proven in her current employment situation. (Ya know, I'm pretty sure it's cuz she takes after her mama. ;P)

I'm just so proud of her and how she keeps on going, even when she feels like crying cuz her days can be so challenging...and especially so for a 21-YO. So as a token of my admiration of her perseverance, hard work, dedication, and impeccable work ethic (and knowing how much she loves ice cream...like I said, she takes after her mama! -lol), I thought this Who's That Girl? image from My Favorite Things' Here's the Scoop would make a perfect presentation for the Cold Stone gift card I sent her. I paper pieced the chair (all except for the flowers) and I used Prismacolor pencils for the rest...having to mix several colors to get the color of her top to coordinate with the greens in the papers I used. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but I'm not all that experienced with my coloring, so it was a big deal for me. Oh, and I tried my hand at the faux wood floor trick for the first time too (I know, call me progressive...I think I've only been seeing others do it for a couple of years now -LOL!!). Not sure what I was thinkin' that night (oh, that's right, I wasn't -lol)....

The design was inspired by Card Patterns Sketch 19. (And, you guessed it...it was current at the time I made the card.) I would've shared it sooner, but I hadn't mailed it off yet and was afraid Monica would see it and recognize herself -lol. It really would look just like her, except that she never has time to sit and relax like that. ;P (Did I ever tell you she takes after her mama? lol)

I like the sketch a lot but had a bit of trouble calling it quits because I popped out the bottom edge of the top portion so that it would resemble a window awning (you know, from the outside looking in), so I guess the trouble was with me and not the sketch. It just feels like it still needs something across the top there, but if I wanted it to look like an awning, I couldn't add anything to liven it up. I guess I could've added a sentiment directly onto that paper, but I didn't have anything I wanted to use that would fit. And my stitching got a little wonky up there, but I think it was because I'd glued the two layers together before I decided to stitch on there. Oh, well. Just don't look too closely.

The inside isn't anything fancy,but it holds the goods and reads "You So Deserve It" (a sentiment from a BC Dzyns set, And Then I Said) --actually, she deserves a whole lot more than that, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Oh, and all the 'she takes after her mama' stuff...I may have been jokin' with ya a little there, but for the most part it's true. She really does; she's just better version of me. ;) And much prettier too --see:This is a very poor picture (of a picture, recaptured by a cell phone no less --long story...has to do with my moving twice within a year and not being able to get to a lot of my things) of us taken right about three years ago, just before I left California (and, with it, my older kids *sniff sniff*). Even though I have no idea why my bangs look like a blotch on my forehead in this picture (and I don't know how to correct it digitally or I would have -lol), I don't have any more recent pictures of us together...that I'd be willing to publicly embarrass myself over...and this is one of my very favorite pictures of the two of us -- it's even the wallpaper on my cell phone. ;) Makes me smile to see her sweet face and remember that fun day we had together, just the two of us.

Whew...I think this was my most long-winded post ever! Sorry, ladies (but I did warn you -lol). I'm definitely NOT going for a record, so I'll be a LOT more brief in the future. Or at least I hope so! ;)

Thanks so much for the visit, and I hope you'll stop by again soon. Until then, many blessings to you!

{anniversary} wishes

Can you believe it's July already?!?! I was supposed to have been making Christmas cards since January. One a week, I told myself. And here it is, the year half over, and not a single Christmas card made. ;( How are yours coming along? Have you started yet?

Okay, on to the card....

This one was made for the friends we're camping with. It's their anniversary tomorrow, so I thought it would be nice to have a card to give them. And, yes, I seem to be stuck in a color rut of sorts (could be because I'm using my beloved K&Company stacks so often??), but for the time being, I'm happy here. ;)

I used Julee's current Mojo sketch --hey, that's two Mondays in a row where I made a card on the day the sketch came out! Woo hoo! Boy, I AM lovin' summer! ;D Too bad I can't keep up this stamping/blogging pace all year long...though I think my family would get a little fed up with me. I have NO idea how some of you ladies juggle it all, all the time!

Not sure you can see it (maybe if you click on it to get the ginormous size?), but the card has all sorts of sparkle to it --the patterned paper is very glitter-fied, the white cardstock itself is shimmery, and I added touches of glitter pen to that sweet li'l stamped bird. Not quite what I normally think of in terms of anniversary cards, but I think Kathy will like it (she loves K&Co too!)...as for her hubby, well, I'm not so sure (but that's okay --guys aren't really expected to! lol Am I right?). At first, since they're camping on their anniversary AND over the 4th of July weekend, I toyed with the idea of going with some fireworks (after 15 years together, I'm pretty sure it still applies -lol), but I thought better of it (for this year --lol)...or maybe a cute little trailer image I've been itching to use, but it wasn't working with the sketch. So I opted for the cute li'l bird. ;) Funny what can dictate a card's direction....

Speaking of direction...I just thought I'd rub it in again that we're several thousand feet in elevation higher than home (translated: much cooler!) where we're camping near breathtakingly beautiful Estes Park, going on hikes, bike rides, enjoying campfires, dinners hot off the grill, and roasting s'mores every night (YUM!), and hangin' out with friends --yeah, life is good. Oh, and here's the best part: living without electricity, showers (GROSS, I know!), cell reception, or Internet access. Just kidding (about the 'best part' part, that is --will I survive?! lol). And I'm very likely trying to hide from mosquitoes galore (me nooooo likey!) and the requisite daily afternoon thunderstorm....but at least they don't have tornado warnings up there (that I know of), unlike where we camped last time. Aren't you envious? ;) I know just what did it, too --it's the part about not showering for over three days, right? lol

Well, I hope you all have a safe and happy 4th of July tomorrow (and that you're not taking the luxury of showering for granted -lol)!

As always, thanks so very much for the visit and the sweet comments you leave for me --you make my day that much brighter. I hope you'll stop by again soon. Until then, many blessings to you!

{celebrate} aging gracefully

If you've got any tips on that, I'd love to hear 'em! ;P

Okay, onto the card....

I'm not sure why I always mention who I made each card for, but with limited time for stamping, just about every card I make is made with someone specific in mind. And sometimes there's a whole lot more that goes into my making them 'just a card'...I think it's called a bursting heart (not to be confused with a bleeding heart or enlarged heart, neither of which are as easy to live with). I can't help it; I just get that way sometimes. Okay, a lot of the time. I think I'll blame it on all the wonderful people in my life...it IS all their fault, ya know. But sometimes my heart spills out here in words...too many words...not sure why. So please feel free to just skip on down to the card pics if you're not wanting to hear it...not like you need permission. lol I know you're busy, and you won't hurt my feelings. Really. ;)

So, if you're gonna hang with me for the next few minutes (thanks), here we go....

I made this card for a very dear friend of mine whose daily life is such an inspiration to me. And I can tell you all about how special she is because she isn't even aware that I have a blog. ;)

Beverly was one of my neighbors in California, and I still miss her terribly. She is the epitomy of grace, humility, and gentleness; she lives her faith, always has a smile to share, and tries to be a blessing to others...despite the fact that, ever since suffering from an unfortunate (yes, that's a HUGE understatement if there ever was one) accident at work about 15 years ago, she lives in a constant state of pain from a HORRIBLE degenerative condition she acquired as a result of said accident called RSD (reflex sympathetic disorder).

She knew it was bad, but I don't think she was prepared for the shock she received when one of her doctors, while testifying under oath as an expert witness during her Worker's Comp. trial several years ago, stated that about 90% of those afflicted with RSD ultimately commit suicide because they can no longer live with the pain. While I don't think she'd ever do that to her family, she admitted to me once that the thought had crossed her mind before and how easy it would be to do, given the amount of meds she's prescribed.

You can see it on her face and in her slow and deliberate gait; you can sense it in her incomplete sentences and abbreviated words in her emails; and you can hear it in her soft, quiet voice that she hurts beyond belief, but each day she finds the strength to go on. When she is able to drive she still takes her specially trained dog to visit the lonely, older folks at a local convalescent home, she still tends to her beautiful garden as much as possible, and she still finds the strength to get up each morning and take her dogs for a walk because she says that if she does what she feels like (which would be nothing) and gives in to the pain, she's afraid she won't get up again. And she does all this without a complaint. And with more courage, grace, and humor than I can fathom.

MAJOR drugs help; the many surgeries help; implanted medical devices help; innovative and experimental treatments help; the unfailing love and support of her most incredible and understanding husband help; and her strong and increasing faith in the Lord help; but she's still getting worse all the time. And due to the facial nerves now being impacted, she recently lost the sight in one eye. Thinking of all she's been through, the challenges each day brings, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead for her makes me so sad. I know getting angry doesn't help, so I pray. And cry. She and I both know that God is in total control and that He will continue to give her what she needs to get through each day. But it still hurts to know she's suffering so much and how so much of her life (as she knew it) has been taken from her...and all due to someone else's gross negligence. Still, she refuses to become bitter and instead looks for opportunities to praise God, knowing that He loves her and has the power to heal her and will do so if it's within His will for her life. So even though her life isn't going the way she'd hoped, she tries to find joy in this journey. She's good with that, and she completely amazes me.

Being the incredible woman and source of inspiration that she is, I probably should've made her some sort of superhero-type card, but since she radiates such beauty and absolutely loves flowers, this is what I sent this very special woman for her recent birthday:

Lots of dimension (sorry it's blurry). Fun to create. In hindsight, I should've made a few more layers for the petals, but I'd already put all of my embossing stuff away and got lazy. ;)

The sketch was a past one from CPS (and, if you're wondering, it was current at the time I made the card -lol).

Okay, I need to get my day going. Hope you have a good one!

Thanks so much for the visit, thanks for going on this ride with me, and I hope you'll stop by again soon. Until then, many blessings to you!

Happy Sunday to ya! ;) I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.

I've got a busy day today/week ahead (we're going camping later this week for an extended weekend), so I'm gonna make this post short and sweet. Since I usually jabber on way too much, I know you can appreciate a quick one. ;)

Here's a card I made for my sweetheart of a daughter, Monica. I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch, what I call the 'mini Giggle Grove' trees from one of my very favorite Unity KOMs (Friendship. Love. Miracles.), a sentiment from Verve's Circular Sayings set, and some more paper from my Urban Rhapsody collection stack (that I love, LoVe, LOVE!...hope you're not getting too tired of looking at it, cuz I don't think I'm through with it yet -lol).

This was a really fun one that went together pretty quickly. The shocker here (for me anyway) is that I'm actually posting a card I made with a CURRENT sketch! lol

The d'vine Swirl embossing folder reminded me of the wind we've been having along with some of our recent thunderstorms, so I thought that design would be appropriate for the upper panel. lol

I did notice something rather strange with that particular folder of mine this time and wondered if anyone else has this "issue": There are four small rectangles lightly etched into the folder (one in each corner of the folder...on BOTH sides, so a total of eight), right along with the design itself, that transfer to the embossed piece of CS. They didn't show up as noticeable on the flip side (debossed side) of the CS, so I went ahead and used that. Plus with the sanding, it made it even less noticeable. I just thought it was really weird and it's not on any of my other folders (that I've noticed). Not sure why I haven't noticed it on this one before, but I'm definitely not likin' it...but what to do?? And I don't think I paid extra for it. lol So what I want to know is if it's just mine, or if it's a universal defect with that folder.... If you have one of these d'vine Swirl folders, would you mind checking yours and leaving me a comment with what you find? Muchas gracias!

Well, I think that's about it. So much for short and sweet --I should've known it wasn't possible. ;)

I've been busy making up some pre-scheduled posts to share with you until we return from our trip and I have time to get back on the computer -- I'm sure lovin' this summer schedule! ;D But in case my posts aren't delivered (again...SO frustrating) by FeedBlitz, you may want to check back from time to time. I hope you'll like what you see. ;) Oh, and just so you can't say I didn't warn ya...I got a leetle long winded --surprise, surprise. lol

Thanks so much for the visit, enjoy your day...and your week!, and I hope you'll stop by again soon. Until then, many blessings to you!

{cupcakes} for you

Since I love to bake and I love to eat sweets, I would've like to have made and sent the real deal, but in this heat and relative humidity, I doubt they've had made the trek...plus I'd have been too tempted to eat half of them myself (NOT good). So, I decided it would be much better to send them in cardstock form instead. ;) Plus it didn't heat up the kitchen. lol Now I'm just hoping they'll arrive in time for the party.I used two different pieces of luscious double-sided Penny Lane patterned paper (I'm definitely in love with that soft pink!), stamping the Unity cupcake row (as I call it) image on three of the four patterns so I could paper piece the cupcakes. The "frosting" pieces are all popped up with dimensionals. I colored in the cherry using a couple markers and then used some glitter pen on it and the other cuppies and selected areas on the background floral panel to bling it up a little. I was running a little short on time so I opted not to get out the sewing machine, and in hindsight I really wish I had. *sigh*

Oh, and I thought you might like a quick giggle.... Here's what I found seated on my "photography studio" (aka bookcase shelf) a couple weeks ago. Courtesy of Chloe. The day before I spotted this mock-musical trio (who apparently didn't realize that a Lego guitar might be more characteristic than their chosen upside-down clay bowl drum and straw drumsticks...but if they're not the traveling sort, I guess it must work for 'em -lol), she'd been walking around the house singing "la cucka la barracka, la cucka la barracka." Not sure how to spell it or where she came up with that, but it was cute...for about the first 100 times -lol. Then, not so much. Especially after we told her how the song really went. But, yeah. She's a nut. Always giving us such a huge smile, and frequently something to giggle about.

Thanks so much for the visit, and I hope you'll stop by again soon. Until then, many blessings to you!
