Hi! I'm so glad you came by to visit! I am married with two children in their 20's and two crazy furry kitties. I love to create - and especially cards! My Mom’s creativity always amazed me. When she was sick, I saw how much it meant to her to receive cards of encouragement. The love Mom felt from all the cards received lead me to sharing my cards with people I know. My love of card making has led me to creating this blog! When I'm not in my craft room with my crazy kitties (who think they protect me) you will find me out in my garden. If you see something you like or want a card made for you, drop me a note. I would love to hear from you! ~Kate

Blessed to Call You My Friend

What better way to spend Mother’s Day than having breakfast with a girlfriend. It was a definite perk to my day despite the poor service and mediocre food. Just spending some girl time with someone who has been there for me….yes I’m so grateful for her friendship!!

It’s so hard to see dimension in a photo…

    Thank you to all the nurses!

    We are celebrating the nurses at my HS tomorrow. Lori and Kim are so dedicated and caring-we have 2,145 students so you can imagine how many students they have to keep track of with all their issues!

    I had two weekend stays last fall for my daughter’s health scare. Let me tell you the nurses at the two different hospitals were beyond amazing!! So if you know a nurse, be sure to tell them how much they are appreciated!

    Stamps of Life products used for the cards include bandage2stamp die and stamps, awesome die and one in a million die.

    Sending love…

    It’s never easy to make a sympathy card for someone you care about. With spring (and maybe Taylor Swift on my mind 😻) butterflies seemed a better fit with this sympathy card.

    • Stamps of Life products used: Cardstock: powdered sugar & lemonade. Lemonade seam binding. Sympathy2stamp set
    • Sizzix butterfly embossing & textures impressions.

    Easter should be every day!

    Celebrating Easter, for my family has always been at church then a meal with family. This year, as our children get older, the blessing of having both children and their significant others at our new church has touched my heart. After church we had breakfast at home then more cooking for our dinner with my brother and his wife. However you celebrate, I hope it was special for you too!
