I love this tag....

I was blog hopping when I should have been in bed and found this vintage looking tag.. I had to share it with you. I love the colors and the girliness (is that a word?) about it. So, thank you pickled paper designs, you rock!!

Things That Make Me Smile

1. My Lord
2. Sunshine (haven't see much lately)
3. Family
4. Friends
5. My Church (my other family)
6. My Etsy store
7. The Scarlet Lime Blog (I want one of the watches)
8. Neece (she keeps my hair looking good)

This is just a few things that make me smile. When life has you down, think of the things that make you smile.

God has started a new chapter in my life and I am looking forward, not behind.

Got a lot done....

I got a lot of scrapbooking and card making done while it snowed. Easter color theme is going to be Robins Egg Blue. So now the hunt is on to find clothing to match my scrapbook page. Crazy I know. I just can't help myself sometimes. I called my daughter (Jenni) and told her to get that color also.

You can go over to my Etsy store to see the cards I have made.

I Have A Etsy Store

Go check out the cards and paper goods I have for sale at Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/jackierm101

My daughter Jenni, http://www.peasandtanks.blogspot.com/ has been bugging me for a long time to sale my cards and stuff.

I did it Jenni!!

I like making paper goods I just don't like the technical part. Setting up the account and uploading pictures is not fun to me.

I will try to post new cards every other week. I am working on Easter cards now. Check back soon.!!

I hope you enjoy my cards, I put my heart into them.

Family
This is my family on Mothers Day 2009. I had forgot all about it being taken. I can't wait to get it framed and put on the wall. I am so proud of my kids and grandkids. I am Gigi to the grand babies. The grand kids are the icing on the cake.!! God has blessed me so much.





Just looking at this picture makes me smile.

Today I am (drum roll please)....47

yep, 47 and life is good. I first had this long speech I was going to give, then my computer crashed and when it came back up I decided just to tell you this.

Let go and let God.

Thats it, let God be in control of your life, give him your praise, your worries, your everything. I am very happy today and love the personal relationship I have with the Lord. Be still and know that he is Lord.

Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes!

God Bless

After a long absence I have Internet at home again. They (ATT) finally have DSL in my area. I am very excited, and so is my son Josh. I look forward to sharing the "things that make me smile" with you. My posts will be weekly and contain many different things. So, for now, have a blessed week.

Its Been A Long Time

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, ok a long time. I no longer have internet at home. I'm cutting costs and keeping a teenage off of it. I will make an effort to post some of my creations and pictures next week. I have some altered items, calendar page kits I made for Croppinsville and pictures from Alaska. Have a really great weekend!! God Bless

Crop Hostesses

Slacker

Sorry I haven't kept up with my blog. I do not have internet at home anymore. I promise I will post something soon. (maybe). I am leaving on vacation with my parents in two weeks and have alot to do before I leave. My mom and dad are getting very excited, and starting to panick over the yard, pets and office work I have to do. But, it won't be long and I will have beautiful vacation pictures to post. Bless you all, your in my prayers.

Black and White Damask

I have been making all my cards this year, but I needed something to put them in. I love this black and white damask flocked paper. This paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle, the line is called Love Letters. The scalloped around the lid is black ribbon I believe is Creative Imaginations . A little ribbon around the handles and your done. Croppinsville can Accut your pieces for the sides, top and dividers. My dividers are , birthday, sympathy, friendship, holiday and misc. I now have cards ready to go for any occasion.

Bo Bunny Class

I will be teaching a Bo Bunny class in June. Here is a little peak at the projects. If your going to the beach, this is the class for you. If your not going to the beach , adapt it for your pool party. In this class you will stamp, work with chip board, staple, ink and a lot more. More details to come. Check it out at Croppinsville.

Fresh Start

I was thinking about the meaning of Easter today and how thankful I was.
"Because Jesus was raised from the dead, I have been given a brand new life, and have everything to live for. (1 Peter)

I have so much to be thankful for and more hope and joy than I can contain. My prayer is for everyone to have the love and joy that comes from knowing the Lord.

Have a wonderful time with your families over Easter. God Bless

Easter Time

I made a few Easter cards to send out this year. This is a good way to use up your scraps. I got the idea for the bunny face from a Sonic add. It is a circle punch and 2 petals from a flower punch for the ears. The rabbit is from the Cricut cartridge, Zooballoo. I hope you have time to make a few cards this Easter. Take lots of picture and enjoy your time with your families this Easter.
