5 Everyday Things I Love

1. I love to cuddle with my husband at the end of the day

2. I love the feel of a soft, warm sweater on a cold winter's day

3. I love sitting down and surfing the internet with a cup of coffee in hand

4. I love a warm embrace

5. I love a good laugh (usually from a silly joke my husband tells me)

These are the little things in life that helps to make everyday to feel worthwhile......

I hope you will be able to spend some time today doing the things that you love most in life....

Back to Work

I am writing this post tonight to the sound of the wind howling and gusting against the walls of the house.   Something about this blistery kind of day compelled me to come back to the computer and once again blog.  I apologize for neglecting this little piece of my life for a while.  As I mentioned months ago, I have  focused my attention primarily on the care taking of my husband as he battles liver cancer.  But I have missed the crafting world so much and checking up on the latest with my favorite crafty blogs out there. These past few month have been a great learning experience for me.  My heart has soared to the highest heights and has also sunk to the lowest of lows. But I have survived and my husband has also.  Each day is taken one step at a time.  I am also grateful to all of you who have blessed me with your kind words and encouragement.  It was never my intention to completely disappear from blogging land, but it was a much needed break for me.  I have spent countless weeks now sitting in my craft room attempting to create but feeling no real great desire to lift my scissors to paper. But that all changed last week, I finally got my inspiration back and have completed several new projects to share with all of you.  I just hope that this newfound inspiration will continue....

 

A belated Valentine's day project to share with all of you. I had so much fun using this stamp set originally a part of a Halloween line by "Girl's Paperie"

I used this cute stamp set by "Hero Arts" with the two little owls in love, that I purchased last year during "Two Peas in a Bucket's Stamp Sale" I just saw that they have a digital stamp version of this owl set that comes with a really cute birdcage for pretty inexpensive. (I wish I had seen the digital version before I made my purchase). You can find it HERE

Thank you so much for visiting my little blog today. 

Sincerely

Elizabeth

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was very crazy and hectic with very little rest ; I am thanking God for weekdays right now (something I never thought I would say). I was hoping to get more scrapbooking done over the weekend but, as usual, scrapbooking takes the backseat.  I vow to get back to it one day :).....

Today I am super excited to share with you a card that I made using the new digital doodles stamp called "Little Lamb". Love this little lamb stamp. I decided to glitter mine up, but there are so many other ways to add texture to his fleece coat.  Many of the digital doodles design team member came up with great way to add dimension to this little guy. You can check them out HERE.  If you wish to purchase the stamp for.99 cents you can go HERE.  Thanks so much for stopping by today :)
