A dreay Monday...

...it's still cloudy and today we are expecting rain and even cooler temps....I already miss Summer.  Fall is likely here to stay and I think I need to get ready.  Luckily, Hubby is preparing as he ordered Firewood which was delivered this morning and will be wonderful in the wood stove on the super cold days.
  As much as I'm not really ready for winter, I do love Fall and I totally LOVE Christmas and will be starting on my shopping very soon.  I love to have all my Christmas Shopping done early, so that I can relax and totally enjoy the holidays.  I also have a lot more Christmas cards to make and will be working more on that in the next several weeks.

  Today, I wanted to make some bright and sunny and was inspired by a card created by Catherine Pooler, my new Stampin' Up Demo.  Catherine is very talented and I am very pleased to have signed up for her Club In-Box.   Catherine is also a member in many of the craft groups that I belong to, and it's been really fun getting to know her.  Here is the video I watched that inspired my card today.  I love this particular designer paper and bought it as soon as I saw it. 




 And here are BOTH together!!



  Both these cards were very easy and fun to make.  The perfect way to add some Sunshine to this dark dreary day.  

   Now, I am off visit my groups and see what everyone is up too!  Have a wonderful day!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
