Heart Breaker

Here's a great image from Sassy Studio. I sure to miss this awesome company. I love her images.  I have a nice collection from her great images.  I hope you do too.  The sentiment is just perfect here, "girls don't just BREAK HEARTS they rip 'em in two."

Have a wonderful week. Happy Monday.

My Darling

Here's a beautiful lady from Sassy Studio. I just love this artist's images. I do so miss her online as I believe she has now stopped making digi stamps.  I have taken off work today as the church bazaar is tomorrow so I want to get there today to help with the set up. There is going to be so much work today.  Funny how a day off will be more work than a simple day at work.

Have a great weekend everyone and if you live in the Austin TX area, please come by the Crestview United Methodist Church for the Annual Bazaar at 9-1.  We will have food and crafts.  I did a ton of wonderful cards that you see on my blog, lovely jewelry, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and more.  Plus we usually have some vendors too.

Cheers, Holley

Sassy Studio Designs

Here's a sexy image from Sassy Studio Designs.  I adore this artist wonderful women stamps.  I just had to add some fun handcuff charms to go with it.

I hope everyone is having a great week.  Here it is spring break, so it's much quieter than usual and the park and other places are filled with children and their parents.  I have recently gotten a Fitbit (ok a fitbit knockoff) and started walking again.  So yesterday my step count was 21300.  About 7.25 miles.  That's a bit slow for me, but I am just starting to get back to the swing of things so I need to take it slow.  I really had no idea how many steps I ever took before.

Skateboarder

Here's a great image from Sassy Studio.  I love this artist's gorgeous lady images.  She's ready for some skateboarding.  Check out her fun group on Facebook.  She often has a giveaway stamp during the week (many times it is on the Friday).

As vacation times gets near, I thought these sentiments were just perfect.

Take care!

Are you ready to party?

I know this lady is!  She's a Sassy Studio Designs image and she's going to celebrate with her love.  Me?  I am ready to celebrate with all of you!!  Starting tomorrow is BLOG candy every day in celebration of five years seizure free! It's a huge time point to reach.  I often see people who have the surgeries I did and will go back to having seizures at 5 years, 7 years, 10 years....there's often some remnant left in your brain that can cause seizures still or problems in a different section and at some point the episodes return.  Thus, I won't ever cease to be thankful for every year I am given.

So, starting tomorrow celebrate with me and get some goodies to craft with.  I would like to give early thanks to those who are celebrating with me already!  Sweet Pea Stamps, Sherri Baldy-My Besties, Bugaboo Stamps, Limited Run Stamps, Paper Temptress, and SLS Lines!  Then I have a ton of wonderful goodies that I have to share with you all! 

Cheers, Holley

Missing Summer Yet?

Here's a little summer reminder for those of you who are freezing cold due to the harsh winter conditions that we seem to be going through this winter.  Even here in South Texas we have had more days of unexpected cold than usual.  While we are back to our usual temp, I can see that much of the north is still getting hit with the cold.  I figured this card might bring a little warmth to your day.  It's a fun image from Sassy Studio.

Had a couple of people inquire about the festivities...I printed out my story on the Feb 1st page. I think this whole month is very much about gratitude for what I have been given and reaching out to those around me who were so very nice to me at a very hard time.  Once I was so much better and so clearly blessed, I truly feel the need to give back and do some amount of outreach to those around me, both those in my day to day life as well as those in my "internet" life.

It makes me think of a song (hymn) called Freely, Freely

Chorus:   Freely, Freely, You have received

Freely, Freely Give

Go in my name and because you believe

Other will know that I live

 

I have been given so very much.  Now I should give back

Interested in: You

Here's a gorgeous image from Sassy Studios she's called Ballroom Babe. I just LOVE this artist's work.  I thought this image went well with this fun saying from Cosmo Crickett.  This is one of my first valentines of the year....

Hope that you are having a great week.  Can you believe there's only 9 days left in January?  That means it's just 9 days left until the blog candy starts this year.  I am actually going to go see Dr. Aboumatar next week.  Think I will take him and his office staff a little treat.  I always do on my anniversary from surgery.  This year I am just fortunate to have an appointment near the approximate time.  More blog candy photos will get posted on Saturday!

Happy Birthday!

Sharing a Happy Birthday today with a family member.  I guess this card is a little lovey-dovey so everyone assumes that I made this one for my hubby.  Well, I probably would make a birthday card for him like this too....hmmm. Guess it all depends on the way you look at it huh?  She's my younger cousins, so Hugs and Kisses!!  Hope you have a very special day.  I created a fun and sassy birthday card just for you!

Cheers, Holley

Steampunk ....yeah!

Sassy Studio had this awesome steampunk image that I got last week and here's the card I made with it. She's totally gorgeous.  I would totally give this card to my hubby, so I added the sentiment "1+1=US"  I also used an embossed background and some fun ribbon in steampunk theme.

Always been a fan of the fun images from Sassy Studio.  This image was a freebie for their monthly progressive challenge at Paper Craft Planet.  I have been enjoying checking out all the other creations with this amazing image.

Cheers, Holley

Lil Red Riding hood

Here's a fun Lil Red Riding Hood Stamp from Sassy Studio Designs.  I love this artist's designs.  I added a fun vellum sentiment for her "Travel beyond your path" as I guess we all know the path to grandma's house that she's taking....

Hope you are all having a great week.  I am still SO happy about the doctor's results last week. It's been such a weight lifted off both me and my husband.  I really hope now that after I finish the current prescription and I am taken off this drug totally, I will be down to just five medications a day.  Woo Hoo.  I know that still seems like a lot, but I was at 8 meds and probably triple the doses I am taking now.  It's remarkable to be where I am now.
