Hi Everyone! Well, after my week of troubles, I'll bet you expected to come here and at least hear something positive for a change. Unfortunately, our bad streak continues. My youngest was just confirmed as having H1N1, and I am very scared. So in addition to my MMSC today, my plea is for anyone who would be so kind to remember us in your prayers. My kids mean the absolute world to me, and I just don't know what I would ever do if anything would ever happen to any of them.
THANK YOU and bless you for your kindness and friendship!
Now, I would like to show you my card for this week that is sporting another of the Gurlee Girl images from our monthly sponsor Chelsea. She does awesome work with her images as well as with her cards and layouts. Drop by and look at some of her work. I also want to share with you that the gorgeous wood background on this card is from our very own Sue's store...McMahon Five Designs. This wood paper is incredible and always results in an amazing and unique card. Have a look at her beautiful assortment of woods to choose from. They are so surprisingly affordable.
Congratulations to our MMM and MMR award winners this week:

Thanks to all that stopped by on First Blog hop, especially the ones that took the time to leave me a comment. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. Those comments may not seem like such a big deal, but just a few words to let me know what you think always makes my day and gives me the motivation to keep pursuing this love that I have for crafting. It sure helped to get me through this terrible week I was having too, so thank you for giving me a moment of your time. You are all treasured blessings to me. I hope that you all had some fun hopping around our blogs too and seeing all of the varied projects that we showcased just for you.
I thought I would share the picture of the envelope that I made for this one this week. I like to make matching envelopes for my cards to make it sort of like a gift in itself.
Here is the sketch for this week. I hope that you will all have fun coming up with your own version of the sketch.
Thanks for giving me some of your time today, and I always appreciate your thoughts and comments. Have a wonderful day!
