Something new......

Okay, it has been way too long since I posted something new. Honestly, I haven't done much lately. My creativity has disappeared to somewhere unknown and I am hoping it comes back soon! But before it left, I made this for my Mom. Her birthday is this month and I thought it would be nice to make her something that showed how I felt about her. She is one truly magnificent woman that has been through a great deal and took on three children to raise that was not so easy at times. She is my hero, my role model, and I love her more than words could say!

I bought the letter M at Hobby Lobby (have I ever mentioned how much I love that store?) and painted it a olive green. I used some DSP that has been retired for a while but I still love it and am just about out of it. The word "cherish" is stamped but the other sentiment I printed on my computer. I sponged the edges in chocolate chip and finished it off with the wide chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon . It was quite easy and turned out very elegant. I wish I would have thought of it at Mother's Day but that's okay. I know she will love it!

I know.....

I promised that I would post some new stuff on my blog. I promise I have made some cute stuff lately. But, I have just had a rough couple of weeks and I have fallen behind in my blogging promises. I do promise that tomorrow (or I guess technically today now) that I will post something....

On to sadder news....my BFF and most awesome up-line left to move to Arizona on Saturday morning. There were plenty of laughs and plenty of tears, and me & Ethel weren't the only ones to shed them! Fortunately, her and her wonderful family spent their last days in Texas with us. I am going to miss them all so much but I also know that this is going to be good for them! I can't wait till November when I will go to see them and go to the Women of Faith conference there with her! For all of our mutual friends who know who I am talking about, I just want to let you know that they arrived safely in Arizona this evening and they had dinner on Sunday night at In and Out Burger! They were all tired but very excited to be there! Please be in prayer for her and her family to easily adjust to their new life there. I know the kids are supposed to start school possibly as soon as Tuesday.

So until tomorrow....errr today but later after some much needed rest.....

Stampadoodledoo!
