Friends 24-7

I've been on a mission to create (and actually send!) thank you notes. I have been having a ton of fun with Stampin' Up's "Friends 24-7" stamp set lately. Some of the general ideas are coming from Split Coast Stampers, a really great site for stamping ideas! Enjoy!

Christmas Came

Despite my broken heart, Christmas came.

Despite our family's pleas for me to come visit on Christmas Day,

I stayed home with my boy and built Lego.

When I wasn't building, I was breaking down.

It was the saddest Christmas on record for me

but being alone is just what I needed.

I needed to cry

and that's something I prefer to do with no witnesses.

I made these coasters for gifts for the men in our families. I LOVE THEM!

I still (as of Nov. 2011) have not finished my own set

but everytime I visit my parents I remark on how beauitful their set is! HAHAHAHA



Ski Trip 2005

I went to a weekend crop a few weeks ago and managed to get 12 layouts done! I was very excited as I have been in a creative funk for quite some time now. Here are a couple of my faves from that weekend!
