Well once a year is better than not at all right? Here is the card I came up with today after my mother ordered a birthday card. It is for an 18 yr old who loves to stamp and scrapbook. Think she'll like it? It was CASEd but I added all the sparkles to make it prettier. I was happy with the way it turned out.

Valentine's Day is coming!

My kids wanted to do a Valentine exchange for school and for teachers so here is what we came up with. All of these are CASED from someone out there on the WWW and I collect them on Pinterest. Then we print the picture and change it up to suit our inventory of DSP, stamp sets, etc. The ones for the students are 3x4 or close. Enjoy!


This is a large and small version of the same CASE.


This one was super simple and quick but I love the contrast.

This was a fun way to use scraps.

Glitter paper really jazzed this one up quickly!

And this is my personal favorite. My 12 yr old chose this and made it by himself for his Science teacher. I did cut paper for him on the tabletop cutter but he made the card alone.

Here is the latest on little Holly. She is now 9 months old and very busy! She has 2 teeth, thinks she doesn't need much sleep, and gets into all kinds of trouble. She is trying to walk, so she falls down a lot. But it's going easier and we hear many less thuds. Here is her recent picture, as you can see, she loves the camera and is a regular clown!

School is going pretty well. Having 6 kids in different grades is confusing at times, but their teachers are very helpful and so far even the boys are cooperating. We went on a field trip on Monday so I will have to put a post with pictures sometime next week. Have a great day!

I am terrible about keeping this blog up to date! Well at least if I have no creative stuff to share, I can share pics of my kids. Ms. Holly is crawling now, so there is nothing safe in my house anymore. It keeps her occupied and not fussy though. She is getting her top teeth and is kind of grumpy most days.


Summer is in full swing and it is hot! Most days the 3 oldest kids are with Daddy baling hay or straw. This evening, we are going to Merle & Cindy Sweitzer's pond for Heidi's baptism. This will be my 3rd child to decide to follow Jesus. Makes me very happy!


Devon is having a birthday in about 2 weeks, so I took his pictures the other day. He is sporting a brand new pair of bib overlls that I found at a thrift shop very cheap. I thought the farm made a great background for the photos. I would love to do this for a business I think. Not sure when i would find time though! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
