Happy Birthday to my Best Friend

It's my Mom's Birthday today!!!  Happy Birthday!!!  Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!
I love you Mom... here is your card- "It's in the Mail..."

Summer Treats!

I played a little in the CCR and boy, that will take some getting used to... I think I like my Gypsy better or maybe I am just used to it... I loved the 3D cone set and had to have it!  Once I figured out the sizing, I got them done pretty quick!!  Oh, the possibilities with these...

I went Pink and girly... but they turned out sweet.  I cut them at 5" and cut the dolls at 2-1/2" and oval at 2"  They went together pretty quickly!  I plan to put kisses in these...Who would like one?

Life...

gets in the way sometimes of getting things done!  Been so very busy lately, I haven't had a chance to post in while... but I do have some very cute things I want to share with you!!  So stay tuned, as I get photos and descriptions ready to go!

Party Favors

Another party for my hubby... every year I throw him a party for his birthday, which happens to fall on Cinco de Mayo.  My favorite part about hosting a party is making party favors, which I don't think my hubby understands.  It takes me a while to make 30-40 party favors as he continues to invite people right up to the day of the party, even though I send an Evite- with RSVP instructions.  it's no fun to make party favors if you don't have enough for everyone.

I made enough for those that RSVP'd and a couple of extras... so hopefully, there will be enough!

I went with a Cinco de Mayo theme...I made boxes from Artiste cut at 11" and the lizard was cut at 2.50".  I did bright colors, and I think they turned out nicely.  I baked sugar cookies in the shape of Saguaros- note:  very delicate cookie cutter!!  Yikes!  There you go... easy this year!!!

LIN Ladies Poster

I do an activity each month on the LIN Ladies Team!  This month instead of mailing anything, I decided that we would make posters for each other.  Its so nice to see motivational posters along the race route, and see friends and family members standing out there cheering!!!  I see some very CUTE posters along the way, and I just substitute my name sometimes... hahahhaha

I drew my friend Judy, and I did a home-made sign,, where most everyone else had one created via the Internet.  They turned out incredibly awesome, but  I do "HOMEMADE" and this was my poster!!

Hope she likes it!!

Cupcake gift

What's your "quick" gift go- to?  Mine has been the Cupcake sock for the last couple of years, and it has yet to let me down.  A friend of mine did something very nice for me a while back... I may have shared it here... but someone I hardly knew, except for trying to speak a little Spanish once and a while with her, gave me a quart of Cerviche...(sp?)  so delicious... and unexpected.  So I wanted to do something nice for her, but life gets int he way and I haven't done anything.

How could I top what she did for me??  Yep, you guessed it, a sock Cupcake... I am sure I will make something else for her, but I wanted to show appreciation...now, if only I can find her again at my building...

Motivation

Whew!  Its been awhile since I have posted!!  SORRY!!  Nothing worse than checking out a blog that doesn't update regularly... but sometimes life gets in the way!

I purchased these glass blocks months ago at Hobby Lobby, wondering what I could do with them.  Today, I sat down and grabbed one, and without a lot of thought, put this together randomly!  For no plan at all... it came out pretty good??

I love inspiring quotes or words that help me stay motivated and on track!  This will look nice in my office at work, and remind me to get out and run at lunchtime... I need to "schedule" my lunchtime runs in as somehow, that time slot gets filled quickly...
