Stamper 10 Project - Floral Card

This is the third card the ladies made. I didn't add a sentiment to this one so that they could choose what to use it for. One of the ladies mentioned that it would work well for a sympathy card as well.

Just a quick little not about the splatter effect on the Whisper White Cardstock. This was done using one of our amazing markers and the Color Spritzer Tool. It adds a fun effect to a project like this :)

If you have more questions let me know.

Sentimental

Well if there is anyone in this world that is way to sentimental at times, it is me!! I absolutely hate it that I am that way, but how can I not be about my bridal bouquet, when it looked as fantastic as it did on my wedding day (see picture above in blog title). I would never have traded my bouquet for anything, so I had my mom keep it and dry it for me after my wedding.. lets just say, my own fault that it didn't work out better because I didn't leave more specific instructions on how to dry it etc. So the centre roses got a little moldy and started falling off. Mom brought it to me anyway the first time that they came for a visit after the wedding, but told me that if I were her I should throw it away.. What do you think I did.. haha nope I kept it as a matter or fact for another whole year and almost 3 months!

Till today, it is declutter time in my house so it just had to go which made me very sad.. so I took a few pictures of what it looked like now, and then pulled it apart contemplating what would happen if I went out and bought some fresh roses to put in the centre and dry. See I told you someone is way to sentimental! Anyway so need I say more, I threw it away before I could ponder that thought anymore!

Here are the pictures!

 

So there it is..

Update #2

So after Alanna & Yvonne went home.. so the first week of May

Back to not working again.. so I had to find something to entertain myself with. Since I had started organizing the office before Alanna & Yvonne came I finished some of the stuff that was still sitting around. Which in the end it still seems like there is way to much there :(  What I did is buy some Rubbermaid totes and put our stuff that we are keeping in there and onto a shelf in the garage. We threw out a ton of stuff so it was definitely a good idea since most of it was just personal belongings/papers that we really weren't ever going to do anything with ever again anyway!

Since this has all been a while ago.. I'm sure I'm leaving things out but enough said..

The week before Mothers Day: Well I get a phone call from my mom on Wednesday night I believe.. yup we are coming for a visit... ahh LOL :) I had known it was in the plans but they just hadn't decided when, but hey I wasn't going to complain!

On Saturday since they were all bored I decided to get my dad a shovel and have him plant my flowers along the road, the kids were all excited because they were allowed to help plant them. But of course that is also the cause for problems when you don't have enough little shovels for your two little brothers and they start fighting over the one because they both want to be "big" and help dig a hole to put the plant in. We planted petunia's and geraniums in the strip along the road, which I promise I'll be posting pictures of later! Anyway lots of good times! I found the kids are also getting better at not flying around my house doing nothing etc. I think it is probably because they are getting used to it and it isn't as new and exciting as it was at first.. makes me happy anyway. (or maybe I'm getting used to having them in my little house once in a while) Either way it was super nice to see them again!

My Hubby Rocks!! :)

haha well so last night we went to do groceries for the month in WinCo and Costco... anyway that has been a while that we did them together.. so that was kinda interesting :)

So this is my story:

As we were walking to the till we walked past the flower display.. and then as we were past John all of the sudden said to me.. so do you want some flowers.. I said.. well that is up to you, I mean what can I say.. haha! So we walked back.. I told him to choose some.. he looked at the flowers and then said well what do you want I said figure it out LOL! so he said Roses right?! I was like well whatever I don't care sure! LOL! so he looked at them well I don't know which.. so you choose some.. LOL :) so sure enough Orange roses.. :) Yay!
