Not a Good Week

This was not a good week for my husband and I. Tuesday night we got a call the pig barn where he works burnt to the gound leaving 19 people out of work. What is even worse(and something we are all having a hard time dealing with) is the loss of over 14,000 purebread mommys and babies!! What a terrible way to die! Even though I have been assured the smoke got them first I still cry thinking about them.

I have not felt like working on any cards since......even got all my new stuff from SU and just can't sit to make anything. Guess I just have to give myself time to process what has happened.

TLC205 Thanks!

Here is my card for TLC205. I cased this card from a good friend and SU demonstrator LaurieF. She makes amazing cards!!! Here is the link to hers

This paper fold flower was fun to do, but not something you would want to put in the mail! I made a few changes with my flower. I made my folds 1/4 inch. instead of 1/2 inch.

An Award

I recieved this award from Shirley today. What a great surprise! Here is the story behind this award-

This award is given to a blog that invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!"

There are so many blogs I could give this to. I have decided to give it to some close personal friends of mine! I met these ladies when I joined the Stampin up card class in Wynyard a couple years ago. We always have great fun together!

Connie

I hope everyone has had a great day today!
