"Heavy On The Die Cutting"

Hello on this Wednesday,
We've made it this far in the week and hopefully we will make it to the weekend.
This is April and some people that made resolutions to reduce their weight  at the beginning of the year gave up on their exercise program.  Someone stated that they were waiting for the weather to get warmer so that they could begin walking and jogging.  Some who decided to give up a certain type of food during Lent was so glad it was over so they could go back to their "old habit.
So if you "resolved" to do something at the beginning of the year...how is it going or has it gone?
For today's share, I'm on an "adventure" this year to explore different things with my card making.  I have lots and lots of ribbon and rarely do I use it on cards.  I would have made the card and failed to include ribbon.  It was much different today.  When I was gathering my supplies to make this card, I did put the ribbon along with everything else.  I'm also entering a die cutting challenge so I've used several different die cuts on this card:

I have so many cards to make for Mother's Day and I'm starting with my daughter who has blessed us with our one and only grand child (the one I write about all the time).  Her favorite colors have always been pink even now in her adult life.   The inside of the card has a personal Mother's Day message from us to her. 

Thanks for viewing and for your lovely comments.  I always like hearing from you.

Please know that I support your beautiful projects and try to visit them as often as I can.

Sending you a hug and LOVE,

"TAG-ALONG"...day #2

Tuesday, February 14, 2017

Good Day to my friends, viewers, followers and visitors.
Happy Valentine's Day to you.
How many of you have received those flowers...that box of candy..."the ring"...the teddy bear...the  lingerie (for his or her eyes only)...the perfume?
How many of you received "the message" from someone who no longer wants to be your Valentine.
Some guys who don't want a long term relationship and responsibility of showing love will give you the message at Christmas or they will wait until Valentine's Day.
Even if you did receive flowers, candy, ring, bear, lingerie or perfume...was it expensive or something picked up at the last minute?  Maybe, the day hit them in their face as if they didn't know it was coming....remember, they did the same thing at Christmas...running to the store at the ninth hour to get you that gift (without any thought as to what you really wanted).
You just have to LOVE them don't you...or do you?

Well here is day #2 of "tag-along".  Just BE YOU!   Be a GOOD you, today and every day.
