Card for my DONOR FAMILY!

Good day everyone!

On saturday night,I finally got to write my Thank You letter to my Donor Family! It wasn't easy,so many emotions,good and bad,happy and sad. I cried so much as I was writing it but they we're good and bad tears,so tough!
I had tried many times before but the words just wouldn't come out but on saturday,it all came together.
It took me an hour and I could of wrote for 3 hrs,but didn't want to bore them so i kept it shorter. I wrote in the letter that I hope to hear from them one day,but I'll hope for the best. As I celebrate life,they are grieving. So I must respect their wish,sometimes the Donor Family never respond to the recipient,I just hope and pray that I can learn more about this WONDERFUL PERSON THAT GAVE ME LIFE!
Please say a prayer for me,for them,that we will one day meet!

Hope you like my card,but most of all,I hope they will love it!
Hugs,Diane

Nothing like a good cup of java!

Good morning monday my friends! Hope you all had a fanstastic weekend even though they are always so short!

We went to 2 of Gavin's hockey game on sunday.
And oh boy we're they awesome! Their 1st game they lost 6-4, Gavin made 3 goals & 1 assist.
The 2nd game they won 5-0,Gavin made 4 goals and 1 assist! We are so pround of him,he's such a good little player! So now they will play for the Championship next Sunday out of town!!!

Now on to my card,it's a simple card for my stash.
I used a SU wheel Take a Sip for the coffee cups at the top & bottom in night of navy,added some navy
cs and scrap dp. For the cup of coffee,it's an old emboss folder I've had for ages,so i just sponged it lightly,added some white pen on some of the cups and saucers. And voila!

Have a super duper week! Hugs,Diane

Another day to play

Well this is what I spent my day making! Another stationary box . I should of left the front without the pink env, I don't like it as much but really love the inside of the box....

I made again 4 Greeting cards,4-2"x3 1/2 notes,

4-3x3 notes,a note pad with pen.

These are fun to make but very time consuming.

I think I'm good for awhile,lol!

Too bad the pics aren't the best,cause the flower dp is all glitter,so pretty. It takes me 5 hrs just to make the cards & notes,but it was fun! I like to embellish!

Have a great Sunday!

Hugs,Diane

So proud of my box!

My first attempt at a Stationary Box! I really like how it turned out!

Oops my stamps fell out of it's slot,lol. So this is the stationary box when you open it. I know you've propably seen these many yrs ago,but I had never attempted to make one of these.And I really enjoyed it.

This is what's in it,4 greetings cards,4 3x3 notes,

4 tags,a pen,and a little note pad.

I just loved to make this,might make another one today. Now that I know what goes where and what to cut,it'll take me alot less time. I'll be donating them to my TOPS Club for a fund raiser they are having.

Well hubby is gone all day today,and we're invited at my brother in law's for dinner...THAT MEANS I CAN PLAY ALL DAY!!!!YAY!!!!!

So have a fabulous saturday and I'll get crackin' in my play room,in my pj's,my cup of coffee,I'm all set!!!

Hugs,Diane

My butterfly embossed template

I made myself a butterfly template and tried it on this cd,

it came up really good.

I'm sure you've seen and know how it's done. So today I'm going to work on making this card prettier,I just wanted to show you how it came out.

So it's friday again!!! I know most of you are anxious for friday to enjoy your weekend. But to me fridays are just like any other day,when you don't work,you aren't as anxious for the weekends as when you do have a long hard week at work.

So for those of you that can't wait for the weekend! Here's to you! Have a great one!

Hugs,Diane

My SU class went sooooo well!!!!

Sorry for the awful pic! But I really wanted to post something and it's the only pic I could take of something I recently did.
It's a gum pack wrapper,I used some left over dp
from previous cards,really fun to make and makes a pack of gum so personal and pretty!

Well my SU class went really well!!! Actually one lady cancelled ( I had only invited 3) cause I didn't how I would do,but they said I did well!
I was nervous and don't know why,Shannon is my niece,and Annie is a wonderful friend and she brought her Grand daughter (she really enjoyed it).
They really loved the cards we made and asked when the next one was. SO THAT'S GOOD!
So I'll be placing my first order tomorrow,so exciting! And one of my ladies might host a workshop!

Until next time,Hugs,Diane

Happy B'day to my aunt

Hey there! Happy Wednesday already! I say it again,the days are just flying by too quickly! Life is too short it seems,so if you have plans and goals,try to make and achieve when possible cause you might never have time!!

Now on to my card,It's my aunt's 80th B'day next week and my cousins planned a dinner at a buffet restaurant on March 5th. So it'll be fun to see the family,even though we all live in the same town,you know how life gets. We never make time to see each other which is sad.

So I used all SU products (except the big scallop,CB embosser and the bling) I hope she likes it!

Had a rought time sleeping AGAIN! Gee don't you hate that,but I've been like this for yrs. It's getting very annoying! I've tried so many things...chronic fatigue is just no fun. Oh well,maybe tomorrow!!!!

Have a great day everyone! Hugs,Diane
