Catching Up

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I have posted.  It's been a little upside down and backwards around here lately.  Here are some of the things that I have been working on.  I hope to continue to chop away at that never ending craft to-do list.  Thanks for looking and enjoy!

This is the gift that I made for my mom for

Mother's Day.  (Sorry about the not so great

pic. It was tough taking a picture of a picture) 

This layout is based around the only existing

pictures of my Mom's entire family together.

It was located recently and my Mom was so excited

that I knew I had to do something with it for her.

Although most of the people in the picture

have since passed on, these are the people

of her roots (amd mine).  She loved

it and it's one of my favorites too

just for the meaning that it has.



 

I made this Get Well card for my

husband's uncle who recently

went through a rough patch.

I'm happy to say that he is slowly on the mend

and I hope that he liked his old-

fashioned Get Well greeting as much

as I liked making it.

These are this year's Mother's Day cards.

The top one was for my mom

and the bottom one for my Mother-in-law.

I love the pictue in the first one.  It

reminds me of when I was little and my

Mom bake pies and the crust from

scratch.  Yummm!

I have been dying to make one of these pots of flowers.

I actually bought everything last Spring and

never got around to it.  What a blast these are

to make and a great way to use up scraps.

I gave it to my sister-in-law who came

and paid us a surprise visit this past

weekend.  It was wonderful to see her and

it has been way too long.  I hope she

enjoys it.

I made this journal recently for my teenage niece.

The top picture is the outside cover and the

bottom picture is the inside where I made a

pocket and a matching bookmark.

The back inside cover matches too.
