Hangin' Out

Hello!!!  Hope you're all having a great week thus far!  I've been happily enjoying my days playing with as many stamps as I can before my surgery.  This little cutie here was given to me by another dear friend for my Birthday in January!  Thank you sooOooo much Sweet Friend!  ;)

Funny story .. I really really wanted to buy this stamp and every store that I looked in .. was SOLD OUT!!!  I thought, "Ehhhh, well ... it's not meant to be."  And then within a few days .. here was this little cutie in my mailbox!!!  Ahhh!  It was destiny!  lol!!

I masked her on the rose trellis from the Magnolia Wedding Collection which I've been waiting to use for like uhhhh about 7 months now?  LOL!  .. and this was perfect for her!

Celebrate With Me

Hello Friends!  Well, it's another fun challenge at Belles 'n Whistles!  This time, the super talented and sweet Vicki gave us the challenge of using things we LOVE, but you must use a heart somewhere on your creation!  Ohhhh how FUN and EASY is that?!  lol!

Soooo, I went ahead and used flowers, pearls, glitter, sewing, ribbon, button .. the typical things that I love love love .. and most of all I love my Belles 'n Whistles stamps!!  I placed a little "Made With Love" heart charm by my flowers.  :)  I can just picture this little cutie singing with delight "Woooohhooo" as she sleds down the hill!  LOL!

Sweet Friendship

Hello Friends!  Hope you're all having a wonderful week so far!  I have some great news to share with you .. I finished my last chemo treatment on Feb. 1st!!!  Yayyy!  This last one was pretty tough, it kept getting rougher each time.  But hip hip hooray .. if everything goes well .. it's my LAST one!!! 

In the meantime, I've been trying to work on things here and there before each treatment when I had my "good" days.  I finally finished a card tonight for a dear childhood friend of mine.
