Mystery Box cards

Hello! I ordered the $100 Mystery Box from CTMH last week and received over $200 in product. One of the items was a Bulk pkg of layout pages from More to Adore. I thought, I really like these papers but I can't do 20 layout's with the same paper. I made 4 cards from one sheet and one extra card base. I think they turned out great and gives my customers an idea of how to use the Level One layout pages. Hope you like them.

YM Girls Camp

I just spent the last week at Knobnoster State Park in Missouri as one of the cooks for Girl's scamp for our stake. There were 5 of us in the kitchen feeding 160 people 3 meals a day. We had no air conditioning, but we did have 3 ovens, a commercial dish washer and a walk-in fridge. We made great meals including home made cinnamon rolls one morning. I did really have a great time, except the cabin where we were to sleep had mice, so 3 of us just took our air mattresses and slept in our cars. It sure was nice to come home and sleep in my water bed. The girls were all great helping with the dishes, etc. One of the groups even sang as they did the dishes. I had to come home a day early to decorate a wedding cake for Saturday. It turned out nice.

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful weekend. Trent and Lori started off by giving me an assortment of perennials to plant in my flower garden by my front door. I had my Open House for CTMH in the afternoon for the new Idea Book. We made fun cards and 2 page layouts using the new Bella papers. While I was having my Open House, Ralph planted my flowers for me.

On Sunday morning, I went to church with the beautiful 2 gardenia corsage that Ralph gave me. I think I was the only mom at church that had a corsage, so I felt really special. That afternoon, Lori made cubes steak for dinner, Trent made mashed potatoes, Heidi cut up fresh strawberries and cooked fresh green beans and Quinci brought some wonderful rosemary bread for the dinner. Heidi gave me some Pampered chef goodies I needed and Shawn gave me a gift card to buy more fun craft things at Michael's.

I am so blessed with my husband, children and their families. I thank the Lord everyday for all that I have. I talked to my Mom on the phone to tell her I love her also. We are all so blessed.

Sad News

I'm sorry to report that my son-in-law, Lucas, lost his mom, Ann, on April 29th. She died suddenly of a heart attack. She was a wonderful grandma. She had a sewing business and made such cute clothes for Sydney. She will be missed by all who knew her.

My Open House that was scheduled for May 2nd was postponed because of the funeral. I will be having it this Saturday, May 9th from noon till 4 pm. Please stop by and make a fun card with us.
