friendship

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
Henry David Thoreau

happy birthday to a dear friend. one that truly knows how to be a friend.




a chipboard tag can dress up any gift bag.



i covered this chipboard tag on the front and back. i took sandpaper to the edges to give it a weathered look. i stamped the little flower right on the flowered paper.



this is the paper before the little flower. i like it with the added brown flower.

stamps: far east by lizzie anne designs
paper: dp by my minds eye (tres jolies), red paper cosmo cricket
ink: burnt umber by palette
tools: martha stewart round scallop punch, stampin up oblong punch
ribbon: american crafts polkadot brown and offray
colored with copics

good fun good friends

i had a little getaway to park city with my mom and two of the best friends you could ask for. it was so great to have a tiny break from my regular life. thanks to the husband who took friday off. i always appreciate my little kidlets when i have a time away. i love coming back.

paisley excitement

i was just talking to my wonderful friend meridith and she has an awesome new rubber stamp company called lizzie anne designs. i am so in love with her new designs that are coming forth on the 28th of may. i just ordered some of their product and can't wait to start stamping. congrats meridith for following your passion. i wish lots of business to you!

all in a moment

when i left the house yesterday to go to sully's baseball game i ran in and grabbed the camera last second. i didn't really plan on taking pictures of sully at the game but i would bring it just in case. our dear friends the pugmire's were there cheering on their son and grandson and i looked over and was amazed at the tiny moment that presented itself. you never know when it happens but when it does i hope i have my camera.
will is such a cute baby!
