FLOWER POWER

I was asked to donate a basket for a trivia night at our church. I was of course HONORED, and got to work right away on the concept and ideas. Here are the cards I created.

:)

      

They are my newest favorite things. :) I hope you love them as much as I do!!!!

... here are a few photos of the finished donation.

Maryl's Wedding Invitations

Creating wedding invitations is a treat no matter who the client. I love learning about the couple; their likes and dislikes, wedding vision, colors etc. etc. I have often said, and mean ... my favorite part of being an invitation designer is getting to use my husband and Is name on all the samples ... then, it is like we get re-married a couple times a month. :)

Recently though, I had the pleasure of creating wedding invitations for dear friends of my Hubs and I. The process was more fun then you could imagine with girly planning meetings and tons of laughs while the boys played chess on the floor. LOL

Here is the final product.

        

I think they turned out just wonderful. What do you think??

Also, on another note ... I have a request for all my favorite blog friends {that is anyone who reads}. Take a few seconds and learn about sweet little Satori, and consider sending her a little note of thought in the next week. 

SEND SATORI A POSTCARD!!

Tori is having spinal fusion on March 31st. I am asking people to send her postcards at the hospital. Remember how much fun snail mail was before we were grown ups and the only thing we got was bills and junk?

The surgery info and shipping address is here http://postcardsforsatori.blogspot.com/ I will post pictures of Tori and her postcards there once she gets them. 

Here are my postcards, I hope she LOVES them!!

Sweet Memories

My husbands Grandfather passed away very unexpectedly from a massive heart attack this week. It has been a week full of making dinners for David's Mom, waiting on funeral arrangements and planning flights to Washington.

Death is hard. But as a Christian, I know where I am going when I die. Do you?

              

The above photos are a few on David's Grandfather land. Looking at these photos makes me remember his fun stories of his time working on the railroad. He had a great sense of humor, an addictive smile, and a sweet spirit. You will be missed Grandpa Ken.

Everyday is a gift from above, cherish it, and honor HIM!! 

Want to know more about my faith, ASK!!!!

MIA

I have been busy busy busy which has totally affected my blogging. I know, slap my wrist ... BAD BLOGGER! But, I am back, and ready to shine! :)

Hard to believe it is already time to start thinking about Graduation Announcements. Seems like it was just Christmas. But, before long those you know will begin accepting their diplomas.

I remember back in HighSchool when I graduated I was given a book by a company to order my graduation items from. You've seen this book ... overpriced items, and everyone has the exact same thing. Come on you know what I am talking about!

Who wants a boring invite everyone else has, when you can own something original, unique, and personalized. The sky is the limit!

Ask for a quote today!!!! I am certain you won't be disappointed.

Yummy!

Looking for a super easy, super quick, super yummy heartwarming winter meal?? I have the BEST recipe for you today then! Seriously it is perfect for a quick meal and my Hubs could eat the whole thing himself. :)  A staple recipe for every family I think!


MY FAMOUS CHICKEN POT PIE!!!

Ingredients

• 2 (deep dish) pie shells
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
• 3 cups cooked, diced chicken meat

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl combine soup and softened cream cheese. Mix until thoroughly blended. Stir in vegetables and chicken.
3. Pour chicken mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Cover with top crust. Seal and cut steam vents in top. Cover edges of crust with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove foil halfway through baking to allow edges of crust to brown. Check often late in cooking time to ensure crust is not burning.

 

Do let me know if you try it! I know if you do, you will LOVE it!!! :)

Busy Busy Bee

I am a busy bee these days spending all my time creating. It is wonderful and time-consuming. I find myself spending hours in the evenings plotting my next project, designing custom orders, or playing bejewled blitz on facebook ... hehe.

Seriously though, I am busy.

SO, here are a few cards I designed some time ago actually. I am so busy working on a custom order that well, I don't have much else to write about. ;)
