GUESS WHO'S BACK....

Hello all my Sisters! First off, I must apologize from the bottom of my heart for failing to upkeep my blog and for also not faithfully commenting on all your fabulous creations. I have been very busy taking care of my new baby Bella, making things for craft fairs, and just plain going crazy with the Holidays. Here's a picture of how much Bella has grown since November.

After much grief from my BFF (you all know who that is), and also Joy U's "comments", here goes... To begin, I want to share my OCS cards for November, December and January ... yes I know it's old news, but I want to acknowledge the beautiful cards I received while playing Teri's OCS. Here's Joy U.'s "Alice" card she made for me ... I must say I LOVE IT ...

Check out the bling on Alice's sandals...

Here's my card for Joy...

My OSC partner for December was Elena. She made this precious butterfly card for me...

Thanks Elena ... I LOVE IT! In return, I made this shaker card for Elena. Joy U. aka the Shaker Queen was so gracious to show me how she makes her FAB creations. Thanks Joy!

For January, I was partnered with Brenda aka the Punch Queen ... uhhh the pressure was on!!! Look at this beautiful card Brenda made...

This is the inside of the card...

Okay, here's my January card for Brenda ... I hope she likes it!

Sorry for the long post, but I have so much to share with you! Next, I will be posting some BRaks that I received from some blogging sisters. Thanks for stopping by, and until we talk again ... WISHING THE SUFFERING PEOPLE IN HAITI GET QUICK RELIEF....

A NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY...

Happy Monday Everyone! I want to introduce you to the newest member of our family ... BELLA joined our family on November 20, 2009, She is 1/2 Tibetan Spaniel and 1/2 Silkie Terrier. She's 7 weeks right now and weighs 2.5 lbs. Here's a picture of my daughter...

Her brothers Brandon and Travis just love her! Daddy said that Mommy has finally met her match because this is how Bella was sleeping the other day... LOL!

I hope Bella and Sophie will get to meet one day real soon! Thanks for stopping by and until we talk again ... SHARE THE LOVE!!!

MY OCTOBER OSC WATERFALL CARD...

Hello Everyone! I wanted to show you what I made for my GGF Janis who was my partner for Teri's OCS. Thanks Teri for always organizing this FUN card swap ... you are just the GREATEST!!! Okay, last month, Teri was kind enough to teach me, Linda, Joy and Janis how to make a waterfall card. What I decided to make was a 5x5 card ... yes I Linda I do like it BIG ... LOL! I used my Smirk stamps that my BFF (you all know who that is) gave me. Here's how my card turned out...

I'm really happy how it turned out and thanks again Teri for teaching us how to make it. Thanks for stopping by and until we talk again ... THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!!
