I'm Back Blog Candy

It's been a long time friends. I find it hard to believe that I have not touched a stamp in 4 months. This is my first card and I am still finding it hard to recapture my mojo. This card is cased from a card I created a few years ago. The image is from Squigglefly. It is a digital stamped image by Marla Shega and one of my favorites. It is called Scarecrow On His Wagon.

I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful stamping friends. In the last few weeks I have had 5 different emails from stampers encouraging me to come back. THANK YOU for that push. I just have not had any desire to stamp. It used to be such a huge part of my daily life.

Where have I been you ask....

I spent some time this summer with my dad. He is gathering in years and is having some health issues so the time we had together was precious. It is so hard to be away. This is his 50th year of farming and he is still going strong. The combine rolls no matter how old he gets. His glass is always half full and he is so thankful for a prosperous life.

It's official I am a baseball mom. This ever growing little man brings me much joy and laughter in my life. He grounds me each and every day. You can find me on weekends with a bleacher behind and I wouldn't change it for the world.

This little one has also entered my heart. I spent a girls weekend in the beautiful mountains with my daughter and this sweet creature. I miss all my daughters. The little one is my niece who leaves me the sweetest messages on my answering machine making me miss her more each day.

Now on to the fun stuff. I am giving away a $25 online gift certificate to one of my followers. A welcome back gift and thanking you for not leaving me. Just leave me a comment below on one of your MANY BLESSINGS. The winner will receive via email a gift certificate to any online crafting sight as long as they offer this online option. I will pick a winner next Thursday.

Be Thankful

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie

I created another card last week just for fun. This image is available at Squigglefly. It is created by Crissy Armstrong and is called My Cart Overfloweth.
I colored with Copics and kept the card simple.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving to all my American friends and just as many blessings to everyone around the world. It is a time for thankfulness in my home on this holiday.

Scarecrow Wagon

The first time I saw this image I gasped.. It reminded me so much of back home

in IL.. The cool crisp fall days where pumpkins and scarecrows are in abundance.. I heard

there is a pumpkin shortage this year????? Anway..

Colored and shaded with copics. This new image is from Squigglefly and the

artist's name is Marla Shega. I dug out my leaf dies from last year.. Used my old

french script cb folder that has not seen the light of day for a year also.. Felt good

to use some old stuff.

Found just a few challenges to enter.. Some at the last minute..eeks..

Squigglefly and an RAK

I recently won a few images from Squigglefly.. I love their images. These are

digis and they are so easy to download and resize. I used my new RAK punch my sweet friend Lisa sent to me.. She is the queen of RAK's as there were so many goodies in my box..I am blessed to call her friend.

I used prisma pencils and copics this one.. I created it for several challenges..

Digital Tuesday: Create A Holiday Card..I kind of cheated but I think Thanksgiving is a holiday..hehe.

This second card uses another Squigglefly image.. I thought it was perfect for Thanksgiving. My oranges turned red when I edited it.. Sorry about that.. It is a dark
gloomy day here.

This is another RAK from my sweet friend Nikki.. It also is a digi image.

We met up at a retreat in Florida and she gave this to me...I just love it..

It is a turkey baster and she added this adorable tag to it... Thanks Nikki.

We had the best time. Lots of laughs and little sleep..

Hope you have a terrific day.. Thanks so much for dropping by..

I hate it when blogger does this...my comment section is down a bit.. Hope you have a great
day and thanks for visiting...
