Fall Sparkle

I made my Mom a gift prior to her surgery.

I wanted to give her a little Fall sparkle to bring her some cheer as well so I dressed up her package extra pretty.

I used a plain brown bag and changed out the handles for glitter ribbon and added an extra special tag.

Extra special people deserve extra special extras!

Consciously Grateful Day Nine

#ConsciouslyGrateful November Memory Day Nine: Today we are thankful to have enough food to eat and share.

So many people in all corners of the world struggle to have enough sustenance every day. We are beyond blessed to have what we need and enough to share with our loved ones and friends as well!

Especially as the holiday season begins try to remember the needs of those around us and the many small and big ways we can help.

There's always something we can do, even if it's very small!

Consciously Grateful Day Seven

#ConsciouslyGrateful November Memory Day Seven: Today we are thankful for our first home.

We have been in our first purchased for almost two months now and have tons left to unpack and do but are so enamored with it!

We saved and waited patiently to be able to buy a home and find the perfect one and we did it! Super duper lucky to be homeowners!

Consciously Grateful Day Six

#ConsciouslyGrateful November Memory Day Six:

Today we are thankful for our West Highland White Terrier puppy Abigail.

She is such a snuggly, loving, and intelligent pup who brings so much joy to our lives!

There is nothing like the love of a loyal dog. She definitely makes our little family feel so much more complete!

Consciously Grateful Day Five

Consciously Grateful November Memory Day Five:

Today we are beyond thankful for our family! With all the surgeries, illnesses, traveling and troubles that have been going on lately one can't help but pause and take stock.

We are so fortunate to have such wonderful family in our lives!

Especially one's that live so joyfully and gratefully in defiance of all the odds and one's that come together to care for each other too!

Consciously Grateful Day Three

Consciously Grateful November Memory Day Three:

Today we are especially grateful for access to healthcare and for our OB office.

I was not feeling very well and (despite an absolutely terrible ER experience...) am so grateful that our baby is ok and that I was able, in the end, to get the care I needed.

Healthcare is such a blessing and one that should never be taken for granted by those of us lucky enough to have access!

30 Weeks!

We are at 30 weeks! Woohoo only a couple more months left!

It's crunch time!

It's also Halloween.

So I dressed up as a very pregnant zebra.

And I'm trying to convince the Husband to dress up as my keeper, lol. We'll see if that happens or not...

What are you wearing today? Do you dress up for Halloween?

Kisses,

P.S.,

My dress is a past season by Nadia Tarr. Some her past season looks are currently on sale on flash sale site Hautelook right today! And my ears are actually Zebra Mickey ears pinned in with safety pins.

An Autumnal Thanks

Love this sweet little Thank You card I made for a lovely customer out of a past and a current Paper Pumpkin kit. It reminds me of library card pockets.

This is Halloween, Cardmaking That Is!

I made a few easy Halloween cards to give some ideas to the crafters in my stamping class the other day and I though I'd share them with you.

I drew little eyes in the washi tape bottom on this one. Do you "see" them?

Of course I used my Stampin' Up stamps and products to craft them. Product links below.
