We miss you, Daddy.

I wanted to share with you-I have been a bit preoccupied lately. . .Some of you may already know this, but I am guessing most of you do not.

My husband left April 30th, for Iraq. He is not enlisted, but is working with an Army unit to catch bad guys. I am not going to go into alot of detail-I know that this isn’t primarily a personal blog. He is going to be gone for 1 year, with two brief visits (hopefully at home) during that time. If you think of it, maybe you can say a prayer for his safe return?

I wanted you to understand when I refer to him as being gone, or talk about missing him occasionally.

Like right now.

Besides, it is Father’s Day! I have to talk about Daddy :) And look at our babies, too, while I am oversharing! Aren’t they the sweetest ever!

Avery just turned one! Doesn’t it seem like I just had her yesterday?!?!

Okay, so maybe a little earlier than yesterday. . .but still!

Happy Father’s Day to all the Daddies out there. . .For those who know someone who has a Daddy overseas, give them a hug today.

Happy May!

Hope all is well you, Stamping Friends!

I wanted to share a card with you that I made for the Control
Freaks swap group. I had a few extra, so I swapped this at the MI Mingle in March with a few people also.

This photo is courtesy of my friend Emma, over at Lady & the Stamp. Thanks, Emma!!

The card base is Basic Grey, with Whisper white and A Walk in the Park Designer series paper for the front layer.

I used my latest favorite thing- the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions die. . .to be used with the Big Shot.

A Big name for something that takes about thirty seconds to run thru and get some serious WoW factor!

We will be making this card, as well as four other designs, at my upcoming 10 for 20 card class May 30th!

Next-pictures of the Father’s Day book we will be making also!
