Best Mom

It is Saturday, folks, 

and Welcome!!

How was your week??

It was an emotional week for me of sorts!

My hubby's birthday was yesterday (Friday)

and on that date, 22nd, I remember the loss of

on of my favorite person s in the world. 

My Grandpa.

I remember that day, and it fills me with sadness.

but I steer my mind towards the good times, 

because that is what should be done.

And that did not help matters

knowing that we lost one of our

beloved musical geniuses, Prince, 

the Thursday before.

That was a shock!

I still can't get over it.

You never know, friends, you never know.

Anyways.

Onwards.

A new challenge is happening on

the Hiding In My Craft Room blog--

HIMCR #248 - Any Holiday! 

And this week's sponsor is:

Pickled Potpourri

The giveaway is $7 gift certificate to

 Pickled Potpourri Designs!

The Design Team were given some

images to use for this week's challenge.

Here is what I created:

I made a card for Mother's Day, which is on a few weeks.

I used my new Ken Oliver Color Burst

powders (omg--such amazing fun!)

The papers are from an older

collection of Teresa Collins, "Spring Fling"

The sentiment is from Making Memories

Design Shoppe stickers.

Very simple, and quite fun!!

I would have made more, but

my printer and I are NOT getting along

these days. Stubborn thing!

Need a new printer, me thinks.

Until next time, folks!

Be safe. Get crafty!

Any holiday!

Happy Saturday!

I don't know about you all, but

I am so relieved that it is the weekend...lol

After my day yesterday, yep...I am 

so relieved that the weekend is here.

What happened yesterday, you may ask?

Well, my friends, I spent the

day in my daughter's Kindergarten class....all day.

I love being able to participate in the

class with my daughter and her classmates...

But holey cannoli!! What a bunch! 

In total, 21 kids.....celebrating 

Dr.Seuss's birthday.

Which, technically, is next week, 

but it is Winter Break for our schools in 

our province, so no school.

21 kids celebrating, with treats...cupcakes.

yowza!

lol

Anyways, I survived. 

And I have the utmost respect for teachers 

who do this for a living...

I was exhausted!! lol.

Enough griping. onwards.

A new challenge is happening over

on the Hiding In My Craft Room.

This week, HIMCR #240 is:

Any Holiday!

And this week's sponsor is:

Di's Digital

The giveaway is $12 voucher to Di's Digi Stamps.

Here is what I came up with.

I used my new Tim Holtz

Crazy Cats stamps (swoon!!!)

I used my Derwent Watercolor Pencils on my kitty, 

who was stamped with Ranger Archival Ink.

I also used the Crazy Birds accessories and sentiments 

to complete my kitty.

The patterned papers are from Jillibean Soup, 

an older collection.

Now, I know what some of you may be thinking...

birthdays are not a holiday..

Well, in our household, they kinda are..

ask my daughter! lol

We have always celebrated the birthdays like

a holidays---it is a tradition in our house.

(plus, I asked our fearless leader, Laurie, 

and she gave me the Okay! lol)

Love is in the air........
