Happy St. Patrick's Day!

My daughter found these THREE four-leaf clovers while waiting for me to pick her up from school on Thursday.  The Luck 'o the Irish must have been with her ;)  She should share some of that with me I think ;)

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.  Hope you are all enjoying these summer-like temperatures.  We are definitely longing for summer here now.  Have a great weekend :)

Hugs,

A Beautiful Scene

Happy Sunday Everyone!
I took a little break from all the moving chaos this weekend and for the first time since it's release, can you guess which movie I decided to watch?  I have to say that my jaw dropped right from the beginning with the gorgeous wedding decor in this movie.  I wanted to go back and do my wedding over again with all the gorgeous floral eye candy the way they had in this scene.  Just thought I would share the picture with you on here as probably many of you have already seen.  Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  I must get back to work with unpacking boxes and cleaning....ugh...

Hugs,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi Friends,
It has been quite some time since I have popped in to say hello and try to catch up a bit.  Well, our moving day has finally arrived next week, so we are wrapping things up and looking forward to the day that this will all be behind us.  My hubby is already in our new house and is really loving it.  He will be back next week to help move us all out there to be with him.  Now, if we can get this beautiful weather that we've been having to hold out at least long enough to get this road trip done and us all settled in, I would feel quite blessed.  Wish us luck... I will update you more on the move later, but for now....

I want to share a card that I made for my M5D team awhile back and just never had the chance to post until now.  I thought I had better get it posted soon, or Valentine's Day will be here and gone, and this move will have sucked up all of my time.  I hope you enjoy it.  You can find many of the supplies that I used right at the McMahon Five Designs Store.  There are lots of other wonderful and creative things there too as well as samples from the very talented DT.  Have a look.  It will feel like Christmas all over again :)

Have a wonderful evening all, and I hope to be back soon to let you know all the fun things about my new house.  Until then, take care and many blessings to you all.

Hugs,

News to share....

Well, as you all know, the past several months, my life has been consumed with moving to a different state.  It has been quite the challenge and test of strength not to mention many other things.  I know that I have lost some followers due to my lack of posting, and I completely understand that if there is nothing to see, why stick around?  I do hope to get back to crafting once we are settled in our new home.  Thanks to all of my friends that are sticking with me.  Your friendship means a great deal.
Well, here it is.....our new house.  They finally accepted our offer today, and within about 5 weeks, we should be moving out there.  I don't envy any of you that are going through any kind of move right now. You have my prayers.   It was a long road and pretty much a fight every step of the way.  I am very thankful that this part is over...not that the actual move will be any easier, especially in the middle of the winter, but it'll get done.  I hope not to have to move again for some time though.  
I hope that you are all enjoying this festive season and have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  This year sure did fly by.  

Hugs and Blessings to all,

Changes and A Thanksgiving Wish

Life is all about changes.  Sometimes they are good changes and sometimes bad, but either way, change is inevitable.  As you can see from my photos, our house is now finally on the market, and we are searching for a new house in a new city that we will call home.  It is all so bittersweet as so many things in life are.  I am leaving the town that I have called home my whole life.  The house that we are selling is where our last baby was born and the house that we have lived in the longest since we have been married.  Our children for the most part grew up here, and I will miss it very much.  Many memories and milestones were shared in this house.  But as we all know...life must go on.  I hope that our new city and home will be a happy one for all of us.  It will be a very hectic year for holidays this year though.  I love the holidays, so this will be sort of sad for me.  I am going to try to make the best of it though.  I will really miss sharing the holidays with my family when we move.  It is not easy for us to travel with our children for many reasons, so I don't guess we will do it much once we are settled.  Well, I don't want to keep rambling about my reluctance, so I will switch gears here and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.  May you all have many blessing to come.  I am very thankful to have you as my friends here on blogger and love hearing from you all.  Enjoy your turkey dinners and all the other wonderful goodies that go with it.

This little guy and a couple of his friends are on our fence post every single day devouring the walnuts from our black walnut tree.  Our cats spend hours just watching every move they make. lol

Christmas Altered Tin

Trying as I might to find something to post for all my blogging friends.  I found this image that required very little coloring which is essential for me right now, so I put together this quick and easy altered tin to fill with some yummy Christmas candies for a little someone special in my life.   I think since this was so easy to do, that I might just do some more of them with a few different images if time  permits.  It is snowing here today, so I guess I am feeling the Christmas spirit a little bit.  My head is spinning so much these days, that it seems normal for me to skip right over Thanksgiving and dive right into Christmas.
Hoping that you can all take time to enjoy every special moment that this season brings.  It seems so much anymore that in the blink of an eye time passes us by.  Can't wait to slow down here and savor the moments once again.
Take care my friends, and have a beautiful weekend.......Happy Veteran's Day to all out there that have fought for peace and freedom in our world!  We appreciate you.

A Quick and Easy Bookmark, and a Quick Post...M5D

Hi All,
Well, it is going to be a quickie post today.  I am now officially in panic mode with our move.  They have moved up our report date to November 7th which is a month sooner than we had expected, so our heads are spinning now trying to get all the last minute things done that need done.  I still have to say that we are never going to be ready in time....However, ready or not....
Anyway, in light of that news, I will share with you today my super quick and easy bookmark that I created with one of the new M5D releases.  Wishing I had time to be more creative and detailed, but patience is my goal knowing that I will again have time to craft sometime soon.  As quick as this was to make though...it is a great idea for a quick little insert to perhaps that book that someone on your Christmas list is asking for.  Hope you enjoy, and with any luck at all, I will be more relaxed after the holidays and can start posting some more fun projects instead of all these quickies.

Thanks for dropping in.  I'll be in touch soon.

Hugs,
