bring on the Happy...

TGIF!!
Hi friends! Are you ready for the weekend?? I am raising my hand, LOL!!

Do you have anything fun planned? Nate's parents are here this week visiting from Pennsylvania; Mike and I are going out to dinner with them (and Nate & Ashley) tonight...good times!!! I am also hoping to work a little more on my Project Life album (it is slowly coming along~I may do a post on it next week).

Will you be getting up at 4am to watch the Royal Wedding??? I don't think I will be up that early~thank goodness for the DVR!!!

My (step) dad, who is really considered my dad, will be celebrating his birthday on 4/30, can you guess how "young" he will be??? I have been wanting to use my new PTI number dies and new Birthday stamp set~so glad to have had an special occasion to use them!!! I tucked a few gift cards to his favorite spots inside and sent it on it's way. I am pretty sure he doesn't read my blog~so I don't thing the surprise will be spoiled, LOL!!!

Happy birthday 81

Have a Fabulous weekend FRIENDS!!!!

Girly (Heather) you rock...

Hi all!
how is your week going? It seems to be moving right along!!

Today is Administrative Professionals Day, a day to remember all the people who do so much to keep offices running smoothly :)

Heather is the "volunteer" Office Administrator at our church, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all her hard work by helping out my hubby!! She is such a blessing to me and our family!! Since her favorite color is PINK, I had to go all out, LOL!! I know she will get a kick out of all the "pink~ness." When I was shopping for her gift, the gal a the register said "I see some sort of theme here" ~ha!!

I found this hot pick bucket in the dollar spot at Target, and filled it up with some other pink items (nail polish, water bottle, journal, flower pen, pink gum, chocolate raspberry chocolates, and a gift card~anything I could find in hot pink).

pink goodies...

Here it is all wrapped up and ready to go...

Just a small token to let her know how much we appreciate her friendship and selflessness!! I don't think she reads my blog but just in case...THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH HEATHER!!!!!

Of course I had to whip up a pink card to go along with her pink themed gift~this one was super easy and I really like how it came out. I used pop dots on all the flowers to give it some dimension.
girly you rock


Happy Middle of the Week Day!!!

just a little note~and lots of PTI dies...

Happy Monday Peeps!! Mike and I left yesterday for vacation *woot woot* We will be spending an entire week together~which I am sooo looking forward to. We are planning a few day trips one to Sedona and one to Jerome~and then playing it by ear the rest of the week :) I did manage to stamp a few cards so I will still have posts going up on my usual post days M-W-F, but the chit chat will be on the light side, LOL (unless I can find some Internet access~then I will pop in). I am a little nervous about unplugging for an entire week~but I know after the first day or so it will be nice. I used a lot of PTI dies for this card~FUN!! beautiful blooms with mat stack 4 Enjoy today!!!

Mike and I are getting excited to be going on vacation next week *woot woot*. I am hoping to upload a few new books to my iPhone Kindle app, not sure how it will be reading a book on my iPhone, I'll let ya know, LOL!!.

My laptop died a few weeks ago and I don't think my hubby will let me buy one of these until Christmas, LOL!! So looks like I will be pretty much unplugged next week (except for my iPhone), so hopefully I will get my act together and get some posts scheduled for y'all :)

Enjoy today!!!
