Anniversary and fun!

Well, I never got around to posting yesterday, sorry about that.

BUT, it was my anniversary and so we were busy celebrating.  It was nice!  So you see there was a good reason for my absence.

Oh, and I made a card for my sweetie.  It was fun too!

I used one of those new kits from my sweet ladies over at Polka Dot Chicks and Soto Creations.  Its in the kit Polka Dot Chicks and Soto Creations Altered Junk Mixed-Up 21 check it out if you like birds!

Now, to show you my pages.

This one is in honor of my dad and my husband,

It tells about my memories of my dad and his always having coffee.  Funny, I never would have guessed back then that I would come to love coffee as much as I do, but that is life.

Constructive Distractions

Yesterday I finally pulled out the sewing machine and got busy working on those projects that have been on the back burner.  (You know, the ones I was hoping to be more motivated to do a few weeks ago!)  I got most of them done, and all of them started, but then I got distracted.  No Surprise there, but it was a constructive distraction.  I had some cards that I needed to make, 1 for a wedding, some thank yous and 1 just 'how ya doing?'  Well, the sewing machine inspired me and I finished those up.  Here are my favorites:
