Strike 3 and I'm out....

I'm sick again...would you believe it?? This time is by far the worst of the last couple times....I swear I'm so OVER being sick!! *grumble, grumble*....Lily has pretty nasty cough right now too poor thing...Lets hope it ends SOON!! Its very hard to scrap with a runny nose!! :)

I was able to get a few things done this past week....here is a layout using the BEAUTIFUL January kit from My Scrapbook Nook....I swear...I love this kit so much!! I'm having such a hard time cutting into all the papers!!


Here is a Valentines day card using some Daisy Bucket Designs Paper and Ribbon elements...Love their ribbon elements...its paper ribbon that you can tear, shred, curl, seperate, paint, etc....it's way cool stuff!!

This is a detail of what the card looks like open....sorry for the off color!! That's what happens when you take a picture late at night...LOL!!


Here is a digital one I made this week...So much fun!!


I seem to remember making something else but I can't recall what it could be in my sickly state....Oh well....Sadly, I can't think of much else to write...My brain is in a fuzz...I think I'm going to end this with a couple things I'm thankful for at the moment:

1- I'm so thankful for little girls who curl up in your lap and say "Momma, I'm safe here with you"...I love her so much...
2- The weather has been so crazy here lately...we had a couple of days where it was in the 20's...I'm so thankful for my big fluffy coat when I go places...I don't like being cold!!
3- I'm so thankful for my nice memory foam mattress bed...it has made such a difference in my life!! I don't hobble about like an old woman when I get out of bed anymore!!
4- I was watching Porter drawing the other day and he spelled out M-O-M....I asked him what he wrote and he said, "Mom, that's you!!" Then he proceeded to draw me right next to it...I love him so much...I'm so thankful he is learning!!
5- I've been slowly organizing my desk area and have realized how much stuff I do have...I'm so thankful my hubby lets me buy it all...Its the little things that make me happy!! :)

With that I wish you all a fabulous rest of the day...I'm going to go lay down on the couch and watch a movie with Porter....He asked me so sweetly, I can't refuse!! :)
