A Marvelous Monday....

   Today is absolutely gorgeous!  The sun is shining the temps are back in the high 70's, the skies are bright blue and all the storms have gone to sea.  It's so refreshing to see the blue skies and open the windows and let in all the fresh air.  
    It's also the very first day in that I did not have to set an alarm and get up early to get a child off to school.  Both my boys are now happily out of school and moving on into the next chapter of their lives.  I am very happy and so proud of them both!  It felt kind of funny today to sleep in and have Alex home this morning.  Today also happens to be Brian's day off and her came by for a visit this morning too!  What a nice way to start the day, seeing both of my boys and knowing they are both well and happy!! WOOHOO!!  
   After my nice morning, I plan to spend a few hours up in my craft room and work on some cards this afternoon for a few challenges.    I did make one card yesterday for a new group I joined this weekend at NING.  This group was created for Digi Stampers and Digi Creators - and it's called 'Crafters Digital Art Center'.   I think this sounds like a wonderful new group and since I have fallen in love with Digital Images, I think it'll be a great place for me.  I'm looking forward to finding new images to add to my collection and to also meet the wonderful artists who create them. 
    My first card was created using one of the 'freebie' images that were generously donated by some of the fabulous digital artists.  My  my card was created, using this wonderful floral image called 'Sweetherat Flower' - which was one of the images donated to the members.  This adorable flora image is from Isabella's Sketchbook.
  

   I'm off now to work on a new card and it will be for this week's fun Challenge over at 'The Pink Elephant', if you want to join in, please hop on over to the Challenge blog HERE and you'll find all the details!!   Happy Crafting!!

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".
