Thankful

Greetings on this election day. When i went to vote today one of the poll clerks asked me how my "election return " was.... 12 yrs ago hubby and i went to vote on our way to the hospital for a "routine " test , but the ladies at the poll insisted on cutting us ahead. They said they weren't delivering my baby . I told them I wasn't due for another 6 weeks.... wonder what they saw ? I arrived for route test and was found to be in active labor.. i didn't feel a thing. So those ladies were right, we watched the returns from labor and delivery . My "return " is a happy healthy 12yr old boy. Which is my happy election story for today, thinking we could use one tonight. Sharing my card for this weeks color challenge at CAS colours & sketches. Have a good night.

You are pawsome

Hello, hope you weekend is going well. I'm trying to sneak in some card making time, not much luck. Our furnace didn't turn on for the season and a new one is being put in. My crafting area is in the same room as the furnace, so not able to work. I created these cards really early this morning for the Case this sketch challenge #196. They were asking for cards to donate to a humane society.. so this is what i came up with.  Thanks for stopping by. 

PTI blog hop

Hello, I've been waiting all day to be able to Hop along . I start work before the Blog hop starts and when I got home those pesky kids of mine wanted to be fed... so crafting had to wait.

A fun color challenge

I came across a new color/sketch challenge blog the other day. , and guess what they are looking for new design team members.. exciting ! So I'm going to throw my hat in the ring and give it a try.. Here is my card for their color challenge. I saw these colors and thought Christmas card right away. One must make more , since i sold all the ones i made to hubby's co-workers. One of the perks of hubby working with all women. I am off to bed now, so i will be well rested for work tonight, no one wants the person poking them in the eye sleepy. 

Late night crafting
