About Me

My photo
I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

Happy As You Choose

Happy Friday everyone...

Well, before I had mentioned something exciting that was in the works....

and we have finally launched it.  Who is "we" you may ask?  Well, a few of us AWESOME ladies that you know and love have come together to form a fun and exciting crafting group.  Pam Stang, Terri Burson, and Yours Truly have formed Mountain Plains Crafters.  I'll explain more about it after I show you my card.

I love this stamp.  The sentiment can't be any more true.  I wish more people in this world would think like that instead of thinking that happiness should just fall in their laps.  It really irritates me when some people surround themselves with negativity and demonstrate negativity and then wonder why their lives are not enriched and happy.  Go figure.


My flowers are Prima Flowers (found them at Tuesday Morning...CHEAP!!!) with some half pearl gems I placed in the centers.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my card.  If you are interested in our new community blog...please keep reading.

We created this group for a fun place to go and share your work, tips and tricks, participate in contests, challenges, games, or whatever.  Most will have prizes...some won't.  It's all about the FUN of it all.  Since this is SO new...we have a handful of TOTALLY cool vendors that will be sponsoring us.  And not just ANY vendor...people you have heard of.

For our FIRST prize-based challenge we have an EASY one.  All you need to do is go to our facebook page and "like" us.  Just CLICK HERE.  Then go follow us on our blog by CLICKING HERE.  Once we reach 100 likes on facebook and 100 followers on our blog, we will have a drawing for each site.  TWO lucky winners will be drawn and announced after we reach our goal.

NOW....for some MORE great news.  We are looking for 2 or 3 more design team members to join our small but exciting group that we are certain will be a blast to be a part of.  If you are interested...please send us pictures of your favorite work or links to your blog pages to mountainplainscrafters@gmail.com.
