Five minute Break

Wow, I finally got 5 minutes to check emails and to breath for a second. One more day, it can't come fast enough. I love my family, but I have had enough. I need a break. It was a beautiful day today, but the pool was not warm enough to enjoy. I do hope that in the next 3 weeks that it gets warm enough. I want my DD's party to be a nice one. I am renting a bounce house as well, but I know that the kids love the pool.

Ok, here they come back in, and I need to serve dinner. So have a wonderful weekend.

Exhausted

Boy, for almost a month now, I have had 8 family members staying with me. It is so hard to do everything that you have to do in your everyday life, but to add 8 more people to cook, clean and take care of,  is just plain over doing it. I have never been so tired in all my life. This is my little break while they are out at the mall. I only have 2 more days and then I am going to need a vacation to get over being EXHAUSTED. Unfortunately, I still have to work and have to get ready for a garage sale and my little ones Birthday Party coming up in 3 weeks.

Well, I got to go, they just phoned and I need to pick them up and feed them all dinner. YIKES!!! Another late night!!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic Memorial Weekend.

Another Frog Card

Well this is also for DH, but it is for his 48th B-day next week. The frog thing is a joke that he and I have going on for the last 25 years. lol This is why the frogs. Plus, the frogs on Paisley are so cute.

Well hope you like.

Here is the inside of the card. I use a piece of the pattern paper to highlight the Happy 48th a little.

Cartridges I used are:

Once Upon a Princess - Title "My" at 1" and the number 48 at 1 1/2"

Pooh and Friends - Dragon fly at 1 1/2"

Create a Critter - Frog w/Crown at 2 1/2", Title "Prince Charming" at 2 1/2" and the word "Happy" at 1 1/2"

Give a Hoot - Lilly Pad at 2"

Used only the scraps I had except for the base of the card which is from a bulk package of card w/envelopes.

Thank you for looking.

Anniversary Card for DH

Well today is 23 years Married. Wow, time does fly by without you even realizing it.

This is a very simple card I made using Paisley, Give A Hoot and A Childs Year. The only difficult part was the welding/nudging of the letters for the words in the card.

Paisley - Frog at 2 1/2"
Give A Hoot - Lilly Pad at 2"
A Childs Year - Title at 1"

I use all scraps on this card, except for the card itself. Those are the cards you purchase at Michael's or Joann's buy bulk.

Hope you like it.

Here is the inside of the card with the rest of the title/saying.

Thanks for looking. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Mother's Day Card - MPS Challenge #1 for NSD

Here is my card for my MIL. It is in spanish cause she is 84 years old and can't read or understand english.

Hope you like.

Sunday Fright is finally at an end.

Well I finally got someone to call me back. The only one who called me back in fact. So if you need someone for a Rattle Snake problem google Ramirez Rattle Snake Removal. He is not far from me, but he goes all over. He has even been on the TV.

Well I sent him a photo via email, due to the fact that he is currently a way on a job. He was working today which is so great. Oh, here is a copy of the pic I email him.

Now I am not someone who is fond of snakes or who would even want to be around them in the first place. But Len Ramirez was so sweet. He told me that it wasn't a dangerous snake. He said it looked like a Gopher snake, which is very common around my area. Yes, it is a big one, and the bite will hurt, but it won't kill anyone. So I am finally feeling like I can relax, in fact I feel exhausted at this point. Talk about a wake up call. Mr. Ramirez told me that it would be an excellent idea to learn about the snakes that are in my area. He says that this time it wasn't a Rattle snake, but next time I might not be that lucky.

Well, thank you all for listening to the ramblings of a crazy woman. lol

Maybe tomorrow I will be able to do some of the NSD challenges that where posted on Saturday. I am sure going to try.

Goodnight and God Bless you all.
