Is today Friday??

   That's what day I thought it was for the first few hours I was up this morning.  I was racing around doing things I typically do on Friday and it wasn't until about 11 o'clock that I realized--You silly girl, it's only Thursday!  Woohoo, what a relief, as I can now relax at bit, which is exactly what I need on this chilly Fall day.

   I've had such a busy week and this is also the first day all week that I have not had to get up and head out to an appointment.   Even thought most of my time was spent doing fun things -- a new haircut/style, a wonderful relaxing manicure and pedicure and a  visit to Brian and Meghan's new apartment -- I'm still always happy to have a day to spend creating and that is what I am doing now. 

   I also am excited to find out that I won two challenges last week and the first one was over at Bugaboo's Wacky Wednesday Challenge, which you'll find HERE!!  Then this morning, I found another nice post over at Jennifer's blog telling me I was the winner a Jellypark!!  Yippee!!   Lots of fun new digis are coming my way and they are such a great prize.   My thanks to Bugaboo and Jellypark for the fun and fabulous prizes.

    And speaking of challenges, I have a new card to share now this one was first started based on two fun challenges.  The first is this week's Wacky Wednesday Challenge, which Bugaboo hosts at CDAC and also over at PCP, I am sharing a copy of their sketch  below.   The second challenge, was this the Twisted Thursday Challenge, which is part of the BIG PARTY this week over at The Outlawz.

 Sketch Inspiration from Bugaboo
 

My Card
     I started by taking the Bugaboo Sketch and picking out an image which I then printed and colored with my Copics.  I wanted to be sure to use the Fall colors and were part of the challenge at 'The Outlawz' and then found two more challenges, that also worked out perfectly for this card.  I am now submitting it to all of these challenges and invite you all to join the fun!!
   And also speaking of Challenges - I'd like to remind you all to hop on over to our current challenge at 'Through The Craftroom Door'.  It's a wonderful themed challenge in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  You can find all the details on our challenge blog - along with some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team.
 
    Lastly, and before I sign off for a bit -- I want to remind everyone to be sure to enter for your chance to win my Blog Candy - which is this wonderful Holiday Card Classes being hosted by Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner.  My blog candy will remain open until Sunday at midnight and I'll announce a winner on Monday morning - October 10th!!    GOOD LUCK!!!

  I am off now to work on some more projects and hope to stop by later with another update!!  In the meantime, I hope you all are enjoying your day and spending lots of time being creative!!

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".
