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).

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 5 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

Now THIS project was fun to do.  I stamped the heart images on to Shrinky Dink frosted plastic and colored in the areas I wanted color. I used colored pencils and Sakura Gelly Roll pens...including the Stardust pens to add glitter. Then I cut them out as close as I could, punched a hole, and then used my heat gun to shrink them.  I added jump rings, fish-hook earring posts, and VOILA! Cute earrings!

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 4 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

This project was fun.  I made a cute Summer Beach Theme tag. Thinking of friends or loved ones while you are sitting on a tropical beach...wishing they were or could be there with you. The phrases that come with these kits are great for almost any occasion.

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 3 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

This project was made using handmade paper in the background to make it appear more softer and organic. Especially by tearing the edges. I punched out some mini flowers and attached them to wire "stems". Wrapped them up in mulberry paper and added some fern cut-outs.  Tied a bow to the front and placed it over the music.

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 2 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

This card was actually made in support of George and Cindy Anthony in the Casey Anthony trial. It was made and sent BEFORE Cindy got up on the stand and started lying.  Part of the design of my card is not my idea...but I changed it up a bit and added my own things to make it my own.  Hope you like it.

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 1 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

Pretty much that's what I'm doing.  I am growing up in the Unity Stamp Company. I pretty much just discovered this company and I only own one kit.  But I LOVE it and I look forward to buying more in the future. So I will be presenting projects made from the "Music of my Heart" kit. The method I used for this card is "masking".  I love this method because it actually looks like the card is layered, when it actually is not.  I hope you like this card :)

GET CASEY ANTHONY RETRIED IN FEDERAL COURT!














Ever since the verdict was read, I have had a very hard time dealing with how a jury could be so senseless in their decision to let a murderer go.  I'm hoping that this petition that was started 4 days ago will generate enough signatures to get Casey Anthony back into a FEDERAL court and have her tried CORRECTLY.
While Casey Anthony was acquitted of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child, by the State of Florida, it is our belief that Casey Anthony should be found guilty of homicide and a variety of other Federal crimes, in a US Federal Court, under the Dual Sovereignty Doctrine. Please sign this petition if you would like the FBI to provide the US Attorney's Office with the evidence surrounding the Casey Anthony case. This petition will be forwarded to the US Attorney's Office at the Middle District of Florida, upon receiving an adequate number of electronic signatures of this petition. We will also be providing the US Attorney's Office at the Middle District of Florida with a completed copy of their Citizen Complaint Intake Form, so that they may forward this petition, along with their Citizen Complaint Intake Form to the FBI. This will, hopefully, play a role in having the FBI forward their evidence, surrounding the Casey Anthony case, to the US Attorney's Office at the Middle District of Florida. Please sign this petition today to help get justice for Caylee Marie Anthony in US Federal court.  Also, please share this with everyone you know!
Just one example, where it appears that Casey Anthony is committing a Federal crime, can be viewed in the following  video, where she lies to FBI agent, Nick Savage.  Beginning at 5 minutes and 25 seconds into this video, Casey Anthony begins to speak about how her goal is to find Caylee and how she believes her daughter is still alive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WAKNI4b6x8 .  According to Casey Anthony's own defense, she already knew that her daughter was deceased by this point.
The above video does not show any of the lies that she was already convicted for, on the state level.
Please Share this petition on Facebook, Twitter, and with your email contacts.  Also, if you have an extra couple of minutes, you can also go to Facebook and conduct a search for Facebook pages that are related to this topic.  On most of those pages, you can "Like" the page and then you'll be able to post a link to this petition there.  Thank you to everyone who helps share this petition!
