Thank You Cards

Some days I am so scatter brained, it amazes me that I have never left any of my children. That being said, I realized that I never gave a deadline for the giveaway. Oops!! How about May 14??? That sounds like a good date ;) You have until midnight May 14 to leave me a comment letting me know which of things you have done. Also, the lovely people that follow my blog already are of course eligible!!! I definitely would not leave you out!!!

We have been going and going for baseball. If we have one game each night, then we have 2. They are always at the same time, but we make it work. Shelby is such the little diva and I would have never expected her to be an athlete. She has thrown me for a loop. She is playing first base, and she is REALLY good. She has managed to get between 8-10 outs each game. Most innings, she gets all the outs. Last night, she stopped the ball and just sat down on the base waiting for the runner. Yes, she does have a little bit of an attitude. Not much though! Chisum hit the ball last night and was determined to make it to first base. When he saw the pitcher coming at him with the ball, he swerved way out (towards the dug out) and made it to first They did call him out, but the determination on his face was priceless. Garrett is playing pitcher and he is really on top of his game. His eyes never leave the ball. Ethan is playing both short stop and pitcher. He is a natural at any sport he plays. He always has been. Callie is the best cheerleader for her brothers and her sister. It makes my heart swell with pride when I watch them cheer on their siblings. Each of them are so special. I could go on all day about them.

21!! That is how many days of school they have left! YAAAAAYYYYY!!! I am thinking that I may be more excited about summer vacation than they are :) I know I have said it so many times, but I really enjoy the kids being home. I can't wait. The only hindrance is that I am going to have to schedule the third surgery for my arm. It is doing better, but still hurts most of the time. I have a difficult time doing my normal everyday things. I can do them, but I end up in a good amount of pain. I go back to the surgeon on Friday and hopefully he can schedule it fairly soon. I am ready to get it behind me and move on!!!

I have a couple of cards to share today. The new October Afternoon lines are gorgeous....have I already said that? giggle! The first card is using Sketch #165 from Card Positioning Systems. I find so much inspiration from their Design Team. They are ALL amazing designers.



I have noticed lots of layouts and cards with rainbow colors. I have been saying I was going to try and make a project using these colors. The little squares on the card are from October Afternoon Ice Cream patterned paper. The buttons are from Tessa Ann! Oh my goodness!!! This is one of my newest addictions. Every single one of her handmade buttons are exquisite. The detail she adds to them is absolutely stunning. I purchased some a couple of weeks ago, and I am going to buy more. Go check her blog out. She has a link to her Etsy site where you can see for yourself.


Well, that is it for me today. I hope everyone is having a great week. I have a couple of Mother's Day cards to post later this week. Take care!
