Life is good....

....and today is another absolutely gorgeous day!  The weather is just perfect with temps in the low 80's....no humidity and nice fresh air.  I have all my windows open and it's wonderful to have a sea breeze coming in.  No need for AC today and I love it.  I have spent a lot of time in my craft room and love all the extra sunlight.   I have been working on several projects and I wanted to share a few of my recent cards with everyone.  

    My first card today is for the Sweet Summertime challenge over that the Bugaboo Stamps challenge blog.  I'm also going to remind you that today is that LAST day of the BIG SALE at Bugaboo Stamps.  If you hop on over today, you will still have time to take 50% off your entire purchase.  It's Jodie's 'Moving is Expensive Sale'  and it ends tonight.  I also want to wish Jodie well on her move as we all know how much of a task moving can be! 
    This is my 'Sweet Summertime' card and it was a favorite.  I really LOVE Bugaboo images and own several, this one reminds me very much of Summer makes me SMILE! 
     I have also used this image a few times for other challenges and I thought I would also show you how it used it on a different background color and with the kids colored in different colors.  It has so many possibilities.  

     After I finished up my Bugaboo card, I went to work on some Fall-themed cards and I have actually made several.  Most of these, will be sent off to Operation Write Home and I plan to have my next package off to Dixie (my OWH shipper), by the end of the week!     

  
    
   









    And my last card is actually my first Halloween Card for the year!   I am very much looking forward to seeing all the new digi images that should be coming out any day for the new season.  Not that I am ready for Summer to go, but I do like to work on projects in advance.  Most of my cards were made with stamps or images from last season and now that I think about it, I really have many digi images last year, but this year I know I'll be adding more to my collection, especially for the Holidays!  I LOVE them and find them so much easier to work with.  I hope, in time, that ALL stamps change to a digi format - WooHOO!!



   So..... that's what I've been up to today and it's been a lot of fun.  I still have a few more images, all colored, so I think I will try and work on a few more cards, before I lose all my energy.  Tomorrow is my chore day (yuk), so I don't have as much time to craft on Sunday, and I would much rather craft than do chores Any day!   Wouldn't YOU?

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".
