to give forth sweet fragrance a whole lifetime through...
My sweet Primary children sang this song, one of my most favorites, on Sunday...I Often Go Walking. It was so beautiful and the words have been replaying in my mind ever since. Nothing like little ones singing their hearts out to their mamas :) My little one picks the most beautiful weeds for me...we keep them alive in a paper cup just as long as we can, and this song reminds me of the love she shows me as she presents them to me each time. She also made me the most beautiful card...lots of hearts and x's and o's and wet glitter glue :) Being a mama is absolutely the best thing in the world.
I have found a new beloved, treasured, item to add to my use forever stash. I met Kim Hesson just a couple of weeks ago and brought home a sweet little stash of her hand cut wood items...the house you see on this card is one of hers from her Trois Petites Maisons package....I adore these little treasures....so much fun to shabby up...and even the way she packages her items is enchanting...I can't wait to use them again and again. Her shop is called Miss Alayneeah...cute and quirky :)
I also used a healthy supply of Melissa Frances products here such as paper, a cardstock sticker, ric rac, glitter chipboard, rubon, and resin photo corner. A touch of K&Co.'s Cut N Paste paper was used as well.
And, a fruity, juicy color inspired card here created for the Emma's Paperie blog.
I love these colors together...they make me smile as do the projects from the other designers....you can see them all HERE.
So much to do....but big, fat, allergies dragging me into the ground these past few days.....good news is that I can' t sleep....more time to create....bad news is that I can't sleep :)
Enjoy your Tuesday...did ya know that Papertrey Ink Release night is almost here?

Beautiful cards. I have been blessed with one daughter. She is 29 yrs. old but still " my baby." I have always said and I mean this with all my heart..being a good Mother is the greatest and MOST important job I will ever have here on earth. She was the best child ever and has grown into such a beautiful Child Of God. What more could a mother ask?
God bless you and your small one.

I love to make stopping here a part of my daily routine. Love the soft colors of the first card and the bold colours of the second :-). Something for everybody......
I hear ya' on the sleep thing. I just hate lying there watching the minutes tick by knowing that I am up in just a short while and mayhem begins again ;-).
Hugs and I hope those nasty allergies aren't going to stick around too long.
