Wow, I got a lot of awards!

Hi everyone! I got three awards yesterday! Wow! Before I get to them, I want to thank Liz. Liz is a blogging friend, and she recently had her 100th post. She gave out surprise blog candy to the person that had commented the most on her blog, and that was me! Liz sent me a $20 Hobby Lobby gift card. How sweet and awesome is that? Thank you so much Liz! You didn't need to send me anything at all. It's my pleasure visiting your blog!


First off, I got this award from Lisa. Thank you Lisa! I think you're brilliant too! Lisa is also my buddy over at ScrapCity, and she is amazing with the challenges!

I got this award from Fiona. This is the Wylde Women blogging award. For this one, I'm supposed to link to Tammy's site, because that where the award originates. The purpose of this award is to send love and acknowledgement to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy. Wow! Thank you Fiona! You brighten my day too!


This last award I got from Judy. Judy is wonderful and so talented! She is the blogging friend that sent me that amazing "Scrapbooking Diva" tote bag. I love that bag and use it all the time! Women look at my tote with envy in their eyes! It's true! I took it with me to Archiver's and JoAnn's recently, and I saw many a glance in my tote's direction! Thank you Judy!

I just want to say thank you for your comments yesterday. I never should have posted about having a bad day, because I've decided not to get into the reason why. I've gotten past it, and everything is fine! Thank you!! I'm totally behind on blog hopping again, but I hope to get caught up with all of you today or tomorrow. I can't wait to see what you've been up to! Have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mail & Library Class

I thought I would post a photo of the clipboards that my girls and I made for the library class examples. The class went well, but it was a lot of LITTLE kids. A lot of three and four-year-olds with glue sticks! A lot of the moms that stayed to help out their little ones were very impressed with the project, and a lot of the kids came up to me to thank me AND to show off their clipboards! Very cute!


So, this is my, Emily's, and Jessica's clipboards. I sincerely want to thank Renee from the 4 Scrappy Sisters site. She sent me the library pockets which inspired my paper choice! Thank you Renee!!


Here Emily and Jessica show off their clipboards. Cute, huh?


Next, I received this incredibly GORGEOUS card from Latisha. I admire her work, and I really love how she uses Unity Stamps. I don't own any Unity Stamps, but that doesn't mean I don't want any! They're just gorgeous! Latisha should be designing for them! Anyway, love the card Latisha! Thank you!


Latisha also sent me some stamped images. These are Unity Stamps images. Love them, and I can't wait to use them! Thank you!


Next, I got this GORGEOUS card from Chris. Chris needed some motorcycle images for a card that she wanted to make, so I sent her some. This is the thank you note she sent to me for the images. It's just wonderful, and I love it! Chris is very talented! Thank you Chris!!


Chris also sent me some images to use. These are Lockhart images, I believe. Can't wait to use them! Thank you so much Chris!!


Next, I wanted to show you the wonderful gift that Emily received from her pen pal, Kendall. Kendall is Latisha's daughter, and I do believe that Emily and Kendall are both super excited to have a pen pal! Latisha got the backpack from the Target $1 spot (I've never seen this . . . how cute!), and they stamped on it. Isn't it wonderful? Kendall also made a gorgeous card and sent Emily some lip gloss. How FUN! Thank you Kendall! Emily LOVES it!

Well, that's all from me for today. The girls have already been to band, we're back from the grocery store, I need to cut the grass, and we have a dentist appointment later. It's a busy day! Yes, I'm behind on blog hopping. It's totally my story this summer! I will do my best to catch up with all of you very soon! Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations & Thanks!

First off, Congratulations to my oldest nephew and Godchild, Matt. He graduated last night from high school! I'm so proud of him! He has a very bright future ahead of him! CONGRATULATIONS MATT!

Next, I wanted to show you an absolutely gorgeous card that I received in the mail yesterday from my blogging friend Chris.


I sent Chris a get well card and some flowers for her to use in her crafting. She sent me this absolutely gorgeous thank you card. I love the black accents: the scallop edge and the use of the photo corners. Such a beautiful card! I love receiving beautiful cards in the mail! They just make me happy! Thanks Chris!

Well, I am SO EXCITED, because tomorrow is the day for the rubber stamp flea market that I go to twice a year. I cannot wait! I always find the coolest bargains! I'll be sure to let you know what I find!

Monday, my oldest is marching is our village's Memorial Day parade. I think it's such an honor for her school's marching band to be a part of this parade.

I might post later on Saturday to show you my goodies that I got from the flea market, or I just might post them on Tuesday. I'm probably going to take a little blog vacation for this weekend. Have a wonderful Friday, a great weekend, I'll see you on Tuesday at the latest, and thanks for stopping by!

RAK, Gift, and Crocheted Flowers!

I wanted to show you the FANTASTIC goodies that I received from Lesli at Dragonfly Time and Page Plans! I was one of five winners for a sketch challenge that she did on her blog, and then I was the first one that displayed her new Page Plans blinkie on my blog, so she sent me goodies for both of those! Isn't she sweet and generous? Yes, she is!


She sent me hot hues brown envelopes with coordinating patterned print cards, a K&Company mini chipboard book (I cannot wait to play with this . . . it's adorable!), Snag'Em stamps in a flower design (love this!), and for displaying the blinkie first, I got Spare Parts flower brads! I LOVE everything Lesli! Thank you so much! You are very generous, and I appreciate it very much!


Next, I got together with my very good friend Missy on Saturday for coffee at Starbuck's. My birthday was late March, her birthday was early April, so we finally exchanged small birthday gifts, had fantastic coffee, and got an opportunity to chat and catch up with everything! It was FUN! Missy gave me an adorable card and this gorgeous plaque. I absolutely love it! I am so fortunate with the friends that I have the privilege of knowing! I am one lucky lady! Thank you Missy!


Last, but certainly not least, will you just look at what my oldest daughter Emily is creating for me? Talk about one lucky lady! Are these amazing or what? The coral one is just like the one I used on the project that I posted yesterday. I cannot wait to use more of these! I really will have to look into opening an Etsy shop. I would love to sell some of my creations, and I really think Emily needs to sell some of these crocheted flowers! I LOVE THEM! Thank you Emily!!

Well, I need to get in the shower, and then get out the door! I need to run some errands BIG time! I didn't get to my errands yesterday, because I ended up taking my husband to the airport. It's amazing how bad traffic is from noon until 2 p.m.!! Where is everyone going? Oh well! I hope you all have an amazing day, and thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Card, Music Thanks, & Goodies!

I'm LOVING my Fiskars threading water punch! I used one of the cardstock pieces that I showed you yesterday to create this card.


I used some gorgeous flower glitter paper that I received in a RAK. I added the blue scallop piece to the bottom, and I add a ribbon border. The felt flower I received from Nicola, I added a flower rhinestone from my Lisa B. QVC kit, and the "thanks" is a $1 Michael's acrylic stamp. It took me just a couple of minutes to make this card, and I think it's really cute!


Next, my daughter Emily created this card last night. She's in the jazz band at school, and during her last performance, a professional group that her teacher performs with performed after the school's jazz bands performed. They were excellent! I totally enjoyed seeing them! Anyway, the teacher suggested that the kids send "thank you" notes to the jazz band. What a great idea. So, she gave them a specific member to make a note for, and this is my daughter's note for a man that plays the saxophone in the group. The background paper, the "you rock" stamp, and the star stamps are all Love, Elsie. The treble clef and the music note are also stamps. The "thank you" is from a Stampin' Up set. I used the threading water punch on the bottom of the music note paper. It's subtle, but it looks good.


Next, can I just show you some goodies that I received from my most wonderful blogging friend Kristy? Kristy is so talented! I admired a flower that she embellished on one of her scrapbooking pages. She told me that she added some pearls to the tips of the flower. She then told me she was sending me some of the pearls from Australia! Who am I to argue? Not only did she send me the GORGEOUS Kaiser pearls, but she sent me other goodies too. Kristy . . . you are the BEST!


Here's a close-up view of the pearls, some FANTASTIC ribbon (the photo doesn't do the ribbon justice -- it's all just amazing!), some die cut felt (love it!), and a beautiful card! Kristy, what can I say, you overwhelm me with your generosity! I am so fortunate to have such wonderful blogging friends! I am very appreciative! Thank you!!

Well, it's supposed to warm up today, and I really need to take Princess for a bath. This will be interesting! Princess has long hair, so I do not bathe her at home in the tub. It would be a MESS! I take her to this fantastic local place where you wash your own dog, and then, you just leave the mess behind. The tubs are waist high, so it's actually really easy to give them a bath, and there's no bending over a tub. So, that's the first thing I need to do this morning. Princess does NOT like the water, and I'm taking her by myself, so I'm thinking I'll be getting a bath in the process! I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by!

Thank You ScrapCity!

I want to give a BIG thank you to ScrapCity for all of the wonderful goodies! Wendy and the gals are such great ladies. I participated in quite a few challenges over at the ScrapCity site, and I racked up a lot of points for doing the challenges. I was the winner with the most points, and I received an AWESOME prize package! Check this out!


I have to say that this might not even be all of it, because I put some of it away before I remembered that I needed to take a photo! Plus, this is two prizes put together. Pretty fantastic, isn't it? I got patterned papers, die cut papers, lots of naked chipboard, flowers, ribbons, and the Cosmo Cricket Be Good pack! What do I like best about all of these amazing goodies? I didn't already have ANY of it! I'm actually going to be using some of it today on a card! There are a ton of challenges for April at ScrapCity. You should check it out! Thank you Wendy!! I want to also point out that ScrapCity is the site where I'm going to be the guest designer for July!

I'm off for a much needed haircut and highlight today. I'm behind on blog hopping AGAIN. I'm going to visit you all very soon. Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!

HUGE News & Thank You!

I have BIG news! I am going to be the Guest Designer at ScrapCity in July! Woohoo! I'm very excited! I will share what I create with a kit with everyone on that board, and of course, I'll share it all with you too! This is going to be so much fun for me! I can't wait! I'm thrilled that I was chosen!

I have a thank you to post for my very good blogging friend, Fiona. I received a gorgeous card and some amazing goodies from her for my birthday! Thank you so much Fiona!! You are so very sweet, and I really appreciate it!


Look at this gorgeous card! What a sweet Penny Black image, and Fiona's coloring is PERFECT! This card is so pretty and sweet! I absolutely love it!


Fiona sent me some Sugar Nellie stamped images. I love to receive stamped images. It's so much fun to play around with an image that you don't own. I can't wait to create some cards with these images. How fun! She also sent me pet rub ons and dog bone shaped brads. I love them! My Princess pages are going to be so stylin'!!

Next, Fiona had a letter featured as the star letter in this issues of Cards & papercraft. She sent me a copy of the magazine! I'm so excited to look through a UK magazine! Now, how cool is it that this UK magazine comes with papers and an accessory pack? This is amazing to me. I've heard many UK crafters talking about using freebie papers on their cards, and I just didn't know what they were talking about! Free papers! I'm impressed! I can't wait to use some of them! US magazines . . . why don't you do this? It's fabulous!!

Next, I just got this book from Amazon.com. Lisa over at 4 Scrappy Sisters recommended it, and I love Becky Fleck's sketches, so I was eager to make a purchase. Can I just say right now that I LOVE Amazon.com? I ordered this book on Tuesday afternoon, and I had it on Thursday. Their service is amazing, and I have never been disappointed with dealing with them. Hand down, one of my absolute favorite online stores! I'm going to take some time this weekend to dig into this book, and maybe even create a page using a great sketch! I have a busy weekend ahead of me, so we'll see if I actually get this accomplished.

I want to say that I have only EIGHT MORE HOURS until I get to pick up Jessica. I miss her so much! I cannot wait to see her! I hope she had a fantastic time on her Outdoor Education trip, and I'm sure she did, but I just need to hug her!! I'm still VERY behind on blog hopping, and I apologize for that. I will be catching up with you all very soon. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter! Fun things to show you!!

First off, Happy Easter! I won't be blog hopping today, but I thought I would post in case anyone is blog hopping over to my site! If you haven't entered my blog candy draw, please do so by commenting on Friday's post.

Yesterday I posted a card that I made for Sharon's funny card challenge. Today I want to show you the amazing happy mail that I received on Thursday from my very good blogging friend Sharon. Sharon is so talented! Her cards are gorgeous! She is a whiz with the Cricut. I recently won some blog candy from her. First and foremost, look at the GORGEOUS card that she sent to me!


Look at this Cricut Design Studio work! She designed the "friends" to cut out in the ric rac piece, and then she designed a scalloped shadow for the ric rac. Wow! The heart borders are fantastic too! I have a question to ask . . . does everyone but me use wire edged ribbon? I NEVER buy wire edged ribbon, and now I'm wondering why I don't, because the black and white gingham ribbon is wire edged, and it's fantastic! Plus, when I took the card out of the envelope, I was able to poof the bow right back up the way it's supposed to be! Cool!

Now look at the goodies I got from Sharon! Wow! I'm telling you, I am the luckiest lady in the blogging world, because I get so many wonderful items from my friends! There is a bag of buttons and pins, a bag of dew drops (these are so pretty -- Sharon used them in the middle of the hearts on the card that she made for me!), GORGEOUS Primas (will you just look at those colors!), My Mind's Eye "this and that" frames (these are fantastic when doing quick scrapbook pages!), and two of the cutest classic Winnie the Pooh sticker sheets. Thank you SO MUCH Sharon! Wow!

On Friday, I got this amazing birthday card from one of my SBS2 sisters, Kathleen! Kathleen is so talented, and it's wonderful to see one of her cards in person! This card is a 6x6 square folded in half! I love the size, and I'm going to have to make this size card myself. Kathleen LOVES cupcakes, and this card showcases them perfectly! (I love cupcakes too!) Thank you so much Kathleen! I love this card!

Happy Easter to you all! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mail & Princess

I want to give a big thank you to Jen at ScrapCity. I played a number of games during the Virtual Crop that they had at the end of February, and I won a few of them. These are the RAKs that I received from Jen for playing and winning her games. Thank you so much Jen! I love EVERYTHING that you sent! I also love the "what's up dog?" card that you sent. Too cute!

Yesterday afternoon, Princess did something that she hasn't done for months! She actually wanted to go outside just so she could relax in the backyard! That must mean that Spring is close! Look at how CUTE she is! She hung out in that very spot for about a half hour! What a sweetheart!

Her ball is actually a dryer ball! My sister in law gave it to her, and she LOVES it! I gave her a big bone because she was posing so nicely for my photos!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mail & Busy Week!

I don't have any new cards to post today, but I do have some happy mail to show you!

My wonderful and creative blogging friend Marlou sent this gorgeous card for Princess! Marlou loves dogs, and she sent this beautiful card creation to my silly Princess. Isn't it fabulous?


As you can see, Princess is quite happy with her mail! I think she's starting to think that she has a "fan club"!


Plus, Marlou sent me wonderful blog candy goodies from her Valentine card challenge. I love it all, and I can't wait to use some of these embellishments! The sheer ribbon with the hearts on it is the same ribbon that Marlou used on her wedding invitations! It's gorgeous!


Last, I have to show you my new refrigerator magnet. I got this at a Hallmark store. Isn't this GREAT? Words to live by! Very funny to me! I told my girls that they should try to look at it every single day! Yesterday my youngest came up to me when I was at my computer, and she said, "Mom is there anything that I can do for YOU?" It was hysterical!! She said it because she had just walked past the magnet! My girls have a great sense of humor!

We have a hectic week ahead of us. Lots of stuff going on for my girls. I hope to squeeze in some crafting time! Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Love!

I love when a challenge fits in with what you NEED to make! Caardvark's current challenge is to make a baby card. I'm so excited with how this turned out!

I used my NEW Tres Jolie papers that I got from QVC. The "baby" title, the plaid paper, and the cardstock scallop border sticker on the bottom of the card front are all My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie. The "welcome little one" is a stamp from Riveting by Stampin' Up. I just got this stamp set from my friend Jana! I used my Coluzzle to cut the circle, and I mounted it on a Cuttlebug ribbon slider. The ribbons are from Michael's. I pulled out some alphabet beads, and I added "Brayden" on a piece of wire, and I sewed it to the card front. I used four new buttons that I just got from Laurie! One of them is on a new Prima (also from QVC). I added a little safety pin to the blue ribbon knot. I just LOVE the way this card turned out! It's for my husband's cousin. Her and her husband are expecting their first baby, and their shower is at the beginning of March. They know they're having a boy, they're naming him Brayden, and they are so excited! We're excited for them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you!

I wanted to send out a great big THANK YOU to Laurie. Check out her blog, Charming Designs. She is such a talented lady, and she creates the most gorgeous items! She is also a treasure hunter, and you should see the amazing things that she "finds" on her shopping trips!


She bagged up some old buttons, and she asked who wanted some buttons . . . ME! I love buttons! Laurie sent me this amazing assortment of buttons! What fun! Look at the envelope that they're sitting on. She handpainted the envelope! Isn't that envelope gorgeous? She is an amazing artist. You should see her vintage felt bird creations that she makes. Laurie also posts the funniest photos of her cute cats! Thanks so much Laurie! Your kindness is very much appreciated!

I had more snow to shovel this morning. Wow, I'm getting tired of this snow and how cold it's been! I'm very anxious for Spring! I need to make a baby shower card for my husband's cousin, so off I go to do just that. I'm thrilled, because it fits in with the Caardvarks baby card challenge this week! Hopefully I'm going to use some buttons! Thanks for stopping by!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNOR & Happy Mail!

First off . . . HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY CONNOR! Connor is my nephew and godson, and today he is 7 years old! I don't know where the time goes! Isn't he a cutie patootie?!! Love you sweetie! Have the best birthday EVER!!



Next, I got more HAPPY MAIL! This gorgeous Bella card came from my SBS2 Secret Sister. Isn't it gorgeous! I'm telling you, the colors are perfect, because I'm SO READY for Spring! Right now, I would settle for seeing the sun! I have no idea WHO my Secret Sister is, but she knows I don't have any Bellas, because look what she sent to me with this gorgeous card . . . .


. . . Bella images for me to color and play around with! How fun! I'm so excited! I love Bella, and I have yet to make a Bella purchase! Yeah! Thank you so much! This was the perfect little extra to send with my card . . . I'm thrilled!!


This is my prize from Brandy at the Paper Crafts Blog! Can you believe this? Once again, PERFECT, because it's so colorful, vibrant, and spring-like! I'm going to force myself to cut this paper. It's honestly one of the packs that I'm going to have a problem using, because I hoard my pretty paper. I know you know what I'm talking about. If I actually cut it and use it, I won't have it anymore! However, within the next week or two, I'm going to force myself to create something with at least one sheet of this paper! Well, I'll try!


Last, I was waitlisted for this huge selection of brads from QVC, and I completely forgot about them, and they showed up on the craft fair day! How cool, I was ordering items, and then the big brown truck stops by my house, brings a package to my door, and it was like instant gratification with a QVC product! My friend Queen Diva Sue tells me that when you're waitlisted for an item on QVC, it's not really a purchase, it's more like a gift! I don't quite agree, but I like the way she thinks!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Mail

I have a couple of thank yous to give out today to a couple of SBS2 sisters. First off, Lori discovered that she had two Cuttlebug Halloween dies, and she sent the extra off to me. I'm thrilled! I can't wait until Halloween again to use this! I've never seen this before. It's 3" x 3", so the die cuts are small, and they're going to be so cute on a card! Thanks Lori!


Next, Elaine gave away this Rock Star Sugar Nellie stamp, and I was the lucky recipient! Thanks Elaine! I hope to get this little Rock Star boy inked up this week!

Look at the gorgeous card Elaine sent too! I love this image, and the bling is perfect!

Then, Elaine also sent some images for me to play around with. These are all Magnolia images. These will be fun for me to color in and create some cards. Thanks so much Elaine! I'm very appreciative of your kindness!

My husband FINALLY made it home from Florida, and believe it or not, last night his flight was delayed around two hours! Crazy! He is home though! Yeah! The Super Bowl is tonight, and I could care less who wins. I do like seeing some of the commercials. I'm excited, because tomorrow is QVC craft day all day long! I've already preordered the Today's Special Value on auto-delivery! It's a huge Cosmo Cricket kit. I love craft day, and I can't wait to see all the new goodies! Have a great Sunday, and thanks for stopping by!

Bursting with GREAT News!

I do believe that I'm walking under a lucky star. Yesterday was a FANTASTIC day, and today is starting out as another amazing day! I think you're going to absolutely hate me after you read about all of the stuff that I have to tell you! Be warned . . . this is a LONG post. Sorry!

First off, I wanted to answer a question from Becky. She asked me about the red border on the page that I posted yesterday. It's not a border. The page is black zig-zag Bazzill die cut cardstock on top of a red 12x12 sheet of cardstock. Sorry, I should have explained that when I posted the page. I've seen this die cut cardstock in Michael's too in a DCWV pad. Very cool. Hopefully that clears up how I did the "border".

Next, check out these goodies! These are all from my secret sister on the Cricut message board, and my very good friend, Jana! This is my big finale package from my wonderful friend. She went crazy, be prepared!! Your mouth will be hanging open. There's SO MUCH!!

These are Halloween items, including the Halloween Backgrounds Stampin' Up set, towels with an adorable dog dressed for Halloween, and instead of saying "Boo", if says "Boof"! Totally appeals to my sense of humor! A spider mug (that I was drinking out of yesterday! I don't think I'm going to save it for Halloween!), autumn buttons, Halloween tissues (which are too cute to ever use!), and two Halloween figurines!

Next, WOW! There is Magic Scraps glitter, snow for shaker cards, adorable buttons, Primas in a tiny magnetic tin, two tins to alter, gorgeous ribbon, a mini medley spring pack from CTMH, a glitter mat stack (which just so happens to match the mini medley CTMH items perfectly!!), more buttons, snowflake brads, more round fantastic Making Memories brads, and a 1/8" circle hand punch! It's actually amazing, I think Jana has ESP, because I love my hand punch, but I've been having problems with it. It's not giving me a clean cut, and I need a new one. I never told her that. Very cool!!

That's not all! This shows the Stampin' Up set Riveting (which I've wanted for such a long time), a fantastic box that I can alter, a small album (in the brown and cream) that Jana made for me (she DESIGNED the album -- it's so cool!), and mini cards that she made for me in two of my favorite scrapbooking / card making colors of all time . . . pink and brown! Can you believe it? I'm OVERWHELMED! Jana is so generous and sweet, and I'm so very appreciative! Mwah Jana! You're the best! Thank you so much!

Next, Terrie B presented me with the "you cheer me up award". Is this photo the best or what? You gotta love Lucy and Ethel! They're fantastic! Thank you Terrie! I'm going to tag just a few of my many wonderful blogging friends. Believe me, you ALL cheer me up, and I hate to leave anyone out, but here goes: Andrea, Becky, another Becky, Dawn, Deb, Jana, Kathleen, Kristy, Marlou, and Samm. Seriously, I could go on and on and on!! The visitors I get and the comments I receive put me on Cloud 9. You're all the BEST! Thank you!!

THEN, I uploaded my Valentine layout of my girls on ScrapCity. It's a blog that Dawn told me about, the ladies there all seem like so much fun, and it's where I'm trying to be a Guest Designer! Anyway, my Valentine layout was picked as the ScrapCity LAYOUT OF THE WEEK! I'm floored! Thank you ScrapCity! I'm honored!!

Then I received an email yesterday and then another one today that I won two items from two of the wonderful ladies over at the Paper Crafts Blog! Seriously . . . TWO things! I'm walking under that lucky star people! WOW! I'll post what I won when I receive the items. I'm just THRILLED beyond belief! Thank you ladies at Paper Crafts!

Last, but definitely not least, I wanted to show you my daughter's poster that she created for her science class. Thank goodness for the Cricut! Her entire class needed to present information on an interesting invention. The inventions were handed out randomly, and she ended up with the ice cream cone. Check out her poster!

The ice cream cone and the scoops are on the Doodlecharms cartridge, and we used Base Camp for the title. Doesn't this look fantastic! She designed the whole thing, and she did a great job! She's almost 12 (Egads!! How is that possible??), and she's in 6th grade, and I'm sure you'll agree that she's pretty talented! She was thrilled with her poster! So was I!

OK, if you read this whole entry, you're wonderful, and you deserve a HUGE pat on the back! Sorry, but I had A LOT to tell you about! I'm just one happy lady over here! I'm also one very appreciative lady! I'm walking under that lucky star . . . !! Thanks for stopping by!!
