loving you...

Hello friends...just felt like saying thank you and making sure you all know how much you are loved and appreciated today and always...you are all so special to me and I am thankful for each of you.

It seems that the days are over before they ever begin lately, but I have a few minutes this morning to pop in...then it's off to get hair cuts, find a few stocking stuffers, bake, make a cheese ball, do laundry, clean and tidy, and get ready to go visit cousins and watch the BYU game together. 

Here are a few things I have to share with you today...lucky little me, I was asked to be part of the Jenni Bowlin Inspiration blog this month and have been giddy about it ever since...I dream of Jenni :)...have always loved her sweet, vintage, creations...so here we go.      Mmmmm...I love Jenni....also used here are Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps, Papertrey Ink stamps, and a bit of Melissa Frances trim.

Next up...   More Jenni Bowlin paper, die cuts, chipboard, stickers, ticket stub...

And one more...then there are a few left on the blog for you... LOVE these colors together....ready to get going on Valentine cards...more Jenni Bowlin paper, die cuts, ticket stub, felt butterfly, and chipboard button.

Lastly...just a little somethin', somethin'...like I said, I'm moving on to Valentine cards....my most favorite holiday to make cards for... 
 
 This card uses Melissa Frances paper and a sticker, vintage tea-stained trim, crushed silk ribbon, glitter and goodies...such a sweet sentiment.

How's your hustle and your bustle goin'? :)

If I don't make it back, Merry, Merry Christmas to each of you....hope you have a wonderful holiday.  Thanks for making this year special to me. 

Melis

Melissa, if anyone should be giving out thoughts of appreciation..it should be us to YOU!! Your creations are so amazing. Such a constant source of inspiration. The love you put into every project comes out beautifully! As a mom of young ones, I know I am especially grateful for your gentle reminders that these Blessings are only little for so long. To enjoy each and every moment now! I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season. I can't wait to see all the goodies you create in the New Year!!

Merry Christmas, to you, Melissa! I thought of you today as I added some of my pocket goodies onto the lid of a Christmas box for my stepdaughter. Very pretty valentines; I'm still in Christmas/winter weather card making mode, especially since it's snowing outside! Have a wonderful, cozy holiday with family and friends. We disagree on football sides; I'm a Beaver alum, so I'm going to be rooting for OSU tonight. Should be a great game no matter who wins. Enjoy.

I am usually to dumbstruck after looking at your beautiful creations to leave a coment, but I wanted you to know what an inspiration your work & your words are to me!

[Karey]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
I was wondering if you post in your store about the same time each day? I only have had 3 days off from work this month and every time I check the store I have missed out on items.

Thank you Melis...for another year of inspiration, not only in your creativity, but in your words about your faith, motherhood, love. I wish we lived in the same area...we'd have tea and chat. Blessings from our Heavenly Father to you and yours.

I am so thankful you didn't quit doing your blog, it is such a bright spot in many of our days. I love your colors and the cozy feel your cards give. January won't be "blah" with Valentine's Day to work toward, when we stop by to "see" you. Have a Happy First Christmas in your new home.

Melissa-I could not let this holiday go by without wishing you a Merry Christmas. You have given me so much pleasure, not only through your work, but getting to know you and your little daughter. How you remind me of myself when my Angel (Angela) was just my only baby. We both like screendoors--wow! Doesn't the slap of a screendoor just turn back time, and floods you with wonderful memories. I know you are busy, so, I just wanted to say Thank you. I have been a scrapbook designer for a local craft store, and am now retired. I've seen alot of work along the way..and, I am in love with your work. I can pick your work out 9 times out of 10 when looking through a publication or a site--I am designing houses now. Your house inspired and motivated me to get out of bed and fight a little harder to keep going-Sorry this is long-Love you-Stay Well, and God Bless your little family.
