Mojo Monday #453


Good morning crafty friends and happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having
a great weekend so far! We are going to a big sale and food truck party
out at local tree farm and nursery. We are planning to redo our front flowerbed.
We want to extend it and add a seating area as well as pull out the current
shrubbery and replace it prettier, easy maintenance shrubs and flowers. We sorta
have an idea of what we want so we are going to get an idea of the cost.

Before we get ready and head out I wanted to share a card I made last night.
I was sitting at my desk trying to think of what paper and stamps I wanted to use for
this Mojo Monday card and then it dawned on me that I should have gotten
my Verve Stamps order of their newest release so I went and checked the mail and
sure enough! There were my new shiny Verve's! So I made a card with them!

usually get together for Bible study, snacks, and crafts. They decided today to switch
it up and hit the pool at one of the ladies' in laws house. I decided it's never
too early to get a kid used to the pool! He seemed to like it... or at leas he didn't
dislike it. lol I had two cards I wanted to share today that I made last night.

As You See It #137


Good morning As You See It fans! I am so happy to be back designing! 
I took some time off during my pregnancy due to having zero desire to work
in my craft room. It was a little sad but everytime I tried to sit down
I just didn't feel inspired. I didn't feel very good to my stomach most of the
time but now that I have my son here I am feeling so much better!

This week's challenge is a sketch challenge! Can't wait to see what y'all create!

Sunday Stamps #128


Good morning crafty friends and happy Thursday! I hope y'all are having a great
week! Yesterday my little man turned 4 weeks! I can't believe it's been 
that long already! What a fast 4 weeks! I'm really starting to think that I'm not
sure I want to go back to work after the Independence Day holiday...
I never thought I'd be one that wanted to be a SAHM... At least without working
part-time. Hubby told me way back that I don't have to go back if I don't
want to. I think I'll leave it up to my boss. If he's willing to give me the shifts that
I would prefer, then I'll stay. If he isn't willing to work with me on that, I'll
take it as my que to leave. The problem with working part-time at my job, which
I've been doing since October, is that some weeks I'll work one day, the next
week I'll work 4 days and/or some of those shifts will be for only 2 or 3 hours so
it'll just make it weird to find help watching little man when I don't have a
set shift. Now if I can work 2 or 3 days specifically with the pain management
doctors then I'll have a set start time and end time within 30 mins. W'ell see what
happens! I'm going to call him on Monday and see if he wants me to come
in and discuss it... Oh and here is my little pic I did for little man's one month:



I also want to share a card I made following the current sketch from Sunday Stamps:

Paper: Paper Studio - Murphy Square
Stamps: CTMH - Loads of Fin

Freshly Made Sketches #240


Good morning crafty friends and happy Lord's day. I hope you all have had a great
weekend so far! Well we managed to make it to Sunday School last week with
little man. We are going to try and make it to the service beforehand today. We have to
try to be early enough to sit in the back by the doors in case little man gets fussy.
We have some good friends with a 4 month old who sit there. They're usually on time,
maybe I should text them and ask them to save us a few seats... lol! 

Before we head out though I wanted to share a card I made last night following the
current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I also wanted to share a pic
of how I have been finding the time to craft even though I have a three week old.
I have been asked by a few people how am I finding the time to craft...

Baby wearing! It's totally legit! When he doesn't want to go down for a nap after a
feeding without being held, but I have stuff I want or need to do, these wraps come in
super handy!! He snoozed like this for over an hour until he got hungry again.
