Would you believe it Wednesday?

Hello blogisphere and crafty friends!  I know!  I keep turning up on Wednesdays!  I love a challenge!
 Today I'm sharing more school decor projects.
The Cricut is for more than just scrapbooking and card making, this wondrous little machine has allowed me to spruce up my girls school.
 Here's the birthday bulletin board:
This board is changed bi-monthly, each child's name
 is put up on the boardwhen it's their birthday.  This was for our summer birthdays.
I used  Life is a Beach for this one.  Cuttin' Up! was used for the Happy Birthday!

Next are signs for our schools annual family picnic.  Cuttin' Up!, Doodlecharms, Everyday Paper Dolls, Indie Art, Plantin Schoolbook, Opposites Attract, Accent Essentials, Locker Talk, Graphically Speaking, New Arrival, and more!!

Card Creating Tuesday!

Don't ya love a handmade card?  There's just something about someone taking the time to make a special little something just for you!  I love to make them probably more than getting them!  Except the ones my kids make they are always my favorite!

Here's are two cards I made to share with you this Tuesday.  First one is a Thank You card for a wonderful friend who is just that, WONDERFUL!

I used Cindy Loo for both the tree and the words.  Cindy Loo is such a great cartridge!  Lots of fun things are on it!  I've been breaking out my Cuttlebug lately.  I seem to forget what a versatile tool it really is.  Embossing makes such a statement!

Next, is a card I made for my Mom's birthday which was yesterday.

I used Sweet Treats for this one.

The center of the flower is a button from my stash and again I embossed with my Cuttlebug!

Sneaking one more in here!

This was a card I made for a friend who made me a yummy chicken pot pie!

I used Doodlecharms for the pie and Cuttin' Up! for the Thanks!

The stamps were from Stampin' Up Just Chicken In

Hope you enjoyed today's cards! 

Thanks so much again for stopping by!

I'm posting some new stuff tomorrow as well!

Feeling sad, but knowing better.....

I am sitting here, thinking about the past year.  Oh, the mistakes I have made!  Too many to list.  The losses I have suffered.  My Dad, of course, being the biggest one of all.  He is thought about and loved everyday in my home.  My girls and I talk about him, so I know that they will remember him always.  The loss of my friends and even some of my family.

That one stings.

I guess I have been hoping for some sort of epiphany where they are concerned.  I haven't had one.  I am so angry and really just so disappointed.  I'm starting to hope that those feelings are subsiding.  It's something I have to live with.  I don't want it to define me, but I want those people to know that you will never truly know the pain you've caused, and the sheer disappointment that goes along with it.  I do not understand, for the life of me, how you can be so cold.

Even after all this time, still nothing.  Shame on you.  I was a great friend.  I was there in your darkest hours, I held your secrets, things that no one should be asked to keep.  But I did it for you, because you were my friend.  I wanted to be there for you when your world was falling apart.  I never thought you would turn your back on me when I was losing everything in my world.  You used me for my skills when you needed something, you constantly came to me when there was something you needed.  I never said no, I found a way to help, because I was your friend.  I never questioned your intentions because friends don't do that, I just wanted to be there for you.

Now, almost 5 months have gone by and here I sit.  Still sad, and obviously angry.  I could be nasty, and tell everyone the crap behind the scenes, but I won't.  I have apologized to those I've wronged, I will not beg, I will not be that proverbial bastard at the family reunion anymore.  I can't make you see that I'm sorry for my part in what transpired, you either forgive me or not, if you don't then I will move on and let you be, I just ask that you do that same for me.  I can't take this hurt anymore.

I know better now, I see who matters, I know who cares, my circle of "people" may be smaller than it was 5 months ago, but my eyes are wide open and my heart wants to heal.  I don't wish anyone ill, I want peace and that is my wish for you, peace...
