Watercolor Wonder Sneak Peek

Yellow Yellow Kiss a Fellow.... I almost want to sing that every time I see this card. I made this Tri Flip open card quite a while ago and just love it! Actually if you look closely... it has a lot of "pieces" to it.. that's cuz I was trying to use up some of my scrap cardstock.. see, I don't throw anything away Kendra... told ya!







So get ready for some fun stamping and shopping too.. come to my June Stamp-a-Stack and Stamp Camp sale June 10th or 11th... or both!!

Memorial Day Greetings!

This is a very special day.... and I hope everyone is taking time to honor our military in some way ... whether it's a moment of silent prayer or BBQ with a Veteran or attending a Memorial Day Parade... remember what they've done for our country and our freedom they've protected. Many are not even alive today to thank and honor because they gave the ultimate price.

Now I cam across this photo someone sent me in a Memorial Day tribute... but rather than sending the entire series... this one photo stood out among all the others...... it gave me goose bumps and made me cry. Study it for awhile and see if it does the same for you.




God Bless our Military.

Weekly Wake Up Call - Call Someone

Alright, it's time to Wake Up and Smell the Bacon..... Call someone you haven't talked to in a while.... Maybe it's an old friend you miss. Maybe it's someone you heard is having a difficult time. Maybe you haven't called your grandmother in a while. Besides, who doesn't love to be remembered?


 
  No multi-tasking on this one.. just sit down and focus on that person...
talk, laugh, giggle, remember, cherish... tell them you love them and why.

Hope you've enjoyed my series on Weekly Wake Up Calls....
Watch for something new next month!
