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).

Think Pink in October

Unity October KOM Sketch Challenge

This card was made for my Aunt who is a breast cancer survivor.


Stamps used were from Unity's KOM October 2011.  I stamped the ribbon then cut it out.  I then applied my glitter nail polish to it then covered it with Glossy Accents.

The butterflies are Martha Stewart's punch and the circles were punched from Fiskars.
