So here we are, almost the end of January 2009. This month has been quite eventful: the historic inauguration of Barack Obama, record snowfall and what seems like record cold, the worst economy in my lifetime, my paternal grandfather passed away and my daughter has been increasingly complaining of "tummy aches". Yet I still feel I have much to be thankful for: my family is healthy and happy, we still have a home to call our own, we still have an income, Tyler is active in 6th grade basketball, Haley is in the next grade level in spelling, and I have wonderful friends... see lots to be grateful for!
So with Haley's tummy troubles I've taken her to the doctor several times over the last couple months and we're seeing a specialist on Friday. But there's nothing much we can do besides try the medications that we've been given. So I've been a little hard on her. So I made her this card. It was actually a color challenge from another website www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/ - the colors were basic black, whisper white, real red, green galore and so saffron. I thought these colors were wonderful together! The green is bright, but understated as the stems. Haley loved the card and didn't complain at school at all today! What a wonderful day!!! We'll see how tomorrow goes.
Anyhoo, I would love to plan an event in February. It will probably have to be a Friday night or Sunday because Tyler has a b-ball tournament every weekend! I got my complimentary new catalog over the weekend and it has some wonderful new stuff. I can't wait to place an order and try it out! My catty's should be here before the end of the week, so let me know if you want one. Stampin' Up! is also offering some great specials this year because of their 20th anniversary. We've had some great ones already and I'm looking forward to more! Take a look at my website to see what's offered. Don't forget to check back often!
Until next time, keep craftin'
Audra
