Trees for FMS150 and Blog Candy Coming!

DSC_1269w

“Festival of Trees” was at the top of my wish list when I saw the new Holiday Catalog.  As much as I love intricate framelit shapes, there is something so inviting about a clean shape that you can simply punch out!  I love this classic shape, love the assortment of tree stamps that are available in the set, and love the punch!!

This card was inspired by this week’s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  You can see more entries in this challenge by clicking here.

I have an emotional weekend ahead – we are dropping our oldest baby off for her first year at Ohio State.  I know this is not the socially acceptable day for a throwback picture (LOL), but in light of our milestone, I have “Then and Now” pictures to share.

Where does time go?  Reminds me of this quote about parenting…”The days are long, but the years are short.”  The years did fly by!

Just a warning…there may be some more blubbering about this on Monday, and Monday’s post is already made, photographed and in the mail to Jen.  Stop back Monday to check it out, and I will also announce my first ever Blog Candy Giveaway!!

By the way, Jen sent a funny comment to my website a few weeks ago.  I didn’t publish it, but I think today’s post addresses the issue.  Here is the comment she submitted…

“Hello I just am appreciating your website here–your crafts look great! However I am offended that Chip has his own bio and photograph but I am not even mentioned by name…”

Have a great weekend!
