So Lucky to have you!



The book of James has taught us that "every good and perfect gift is from above" and that's so much of how I think of all of you :)  I'm truly blessed to know such amazingly wonderful people online!   I wish I could report that I was feeling better but whatever this horrid cold/flu like symtoms/fatigue that I caught needs to just find somewhere else to be!  But with my son being so active, the girls in school functions and performances and projects/exams keeping them up til the wee hours of the night ... so does mommy!   Can I get an AMEN on all those that know what I'm talking about :)


So for today, I have another mostly simple card for the mini-challenge that I gave out in the COF thread!  I threw down the gauntlet this week to create a card based on this photo inspiration!   I asked the girls to use any shades of green, purple and/or yellow and include a flower .....  I, alas, have a big old clover but have some flowers on my dsp! *grin!*



I went with slightly different shades of purple and green that this photo - I used  Kiwi Kiss (LOOOOOOVE!) and Lavendar Lace (not so loooooove! ;) and the adorable MFT a` la mode wishing you luck.  I figeted around with this card so much I eventually lost sight of what my original idea was! 
::: Note to self - go find some sketch challenges and play along! :::





 That's it for me for this afternoon!  I'm off to pick up the kiddies and then chauffeur one to tennis, Tae Kwan Do, stop off at the school store for poster board and project needs and dd and her 3 friends have to do a 'cooking' experiment as well .......  think good thoughts for my granite counter tops and wooden cabinets! ;)


Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!

  12. I know exactly what you mean and I can't believe you made that beautiful card while not feeling well. When I'm sick I manage to feed my family and keep them in clean clothes and taxi them to all of their activities but I'll be danged if I'm going to be crafty as well. You're a superhero!

  20. Kelly, your card is just so pretty. I love the sentiment and it is so true about friends. I hope you are feeling better and an "Amen" to what Mom's do even when not feeling well. Been there, done that so can sympathize. Take care

  24. Honey, I'm in the same boat. AMEN!
    After last week...Well lets just say I crawled in a hole and stayed there for a few days. Having two teenagers (girls), a birthday (mine), and way to many school projects, not to mention a whole lote of "teenage attitude", I was DONE!

    By the way...LOVE your MFT's card. Kelly, your work is SUPER!

  28. Beautiful! Love the soft colors and your image is so sweet. How perfect is that sentiment! I have the same feelings about lavendar lace, not my favorite purple...
    Hope you survived all of those exciting projects and obligations, and are feeling much better! I think we need to ask for a 'sick day' benefit for Mommies!! Hugs and prayers to you!!
