A Giveaway and A Card!



I have really been into the cards lately. I love creating a card, and imagining what the recipient will feel when they open it. I made this birthday card for a boy because my son has a birthday party coming up. It was so easy and quick. I think I might make some of these up for boys and girls, and have them around so when I need them...It's done.

I have a giveaway for you. I figured it was time. But, first....I haven't told any stories about my family lately. I have been slacking :)

Here are some of my favorites lately:

* While playing in the 8 inches of snow, Chisum says "Thank you God for all the snow." Everyone together, AHHHHHHH!
* Then 5 minutes later, we notice he has his pants around his ankles and is discovering how to make yellow snow. Gotta love him.
* Also, when Chisum was asked if he was ready to start school, he simply replied, "No. I want to get kicked out of school!" At least he has goals ;)
* While getting out of the car after church, Garrett was looking so handsome in his corduroy pants, heavily starched shirt.. Callie was taking a little longer than he would have liked and he held his head down and said, "Waiting on a woman."
* Callie informed me that the best part of the Discipleship Now Weekend at church...was going to church. And here I thought she was a typical teenager and would have said staying the weekend with her best friends.
* This isn't new, but goodness, does it make me laugh. Attempting to get his Accelerated Reading Points up, Ethan, being the clever little man that he is, decides to check out Gone With the Wind. He is in Fourth Grade!!! Unfortunately, the test maker was a tad more clever and asked questions that could not be answered by watching the movie.
* My Princess Shelby has recently informed me that she NEEDS an iPod Touch. The Reason? To get on Facebook, of course!
* And if there were ever any question as to whether she was in fact my daughter. When I was getting her shoes for church, she asked me to Please get her shoes with the heels...because she would much rather wear high heels. They have a slight incline on the heel, but as one who has a complete obsession with heels, I completely obliged :)

I love my family!

Now, if you read through all of that, how about a giveaway?


Yep! A Slice PLUS everything you need to get started. All of this for one person. So, just leave a comment here and I will pick one random winner on March 5. That is almost 2 weeks :) Good luck to everyone!

I hope everyone is getting ready to have a Blessed week. I know I am.
