Hello and Happy New Year.

Hello my crafty friends, First of all I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I pray all of God's goodness and Grace upon your lives. Secondly I do want to say that I have been neglecting this blog for way too long. Sometimes life just happens and we get tied up. So much has happened in the last year. First of all we lost someone who was so dear to me and my Family and Church family. He was the assistant Pastor to my husband and I. We went through a rough time and shortly after my husband began to have liver failure and it all just happened so fast. But God is always faithful, He has since had a transplant and is now doing much better. Thank You Jesus. So as you can see much has happened, but I want to be able to share more with you in 2014. Thanks so much for stopping by and May The Lord watch over you and your family, God bless Carmen

I'm back!

Hello everyone,  I know its been awhile but I have been extremely busy to say the lest. Much has happened in the past several months.  We had a death in our church. He was a very special person who was more like a son than just a church member.  He was a big brother to all of my children.  It has been extremely hard. Also my husband has been in and out of the hospital with a couple of close calls. He is on the list for a liver transplant so we have been very busy. On top of that I have had to do alot of the office work at the church.  My hope and my strength is in The Lord. Thank you all for stopping by. I  do hope to find time to post some cards or projects soon. Love you and God bless you, xoxo Carmen

A Simple Hello.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to pop in to say hello to everyone. I have not been feeling well. I have been back and forth to my Dr's office. Just when I think I'm feeling better, all of a sudden I feel dizzy. Guess it doesn't help that I have high blood pressure. But anyway I have been watching videos on Youtube, but I have not been able to create anything. I know, that's sad, right? I hope everyone is having a better time than me. I will keep you updated. I just do not want you to think that I have disappeared. Lol. So thanks for stopping by and talk to you soon, Hugs Carmen

He Is Risen!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter. I pray that you all are very blessed today with Peace, Joy and Love. I am very grateful to have my family and my church family to spend this day with. I also wanted to say hello to everyone of you and wish you all the best of God's blessings.  We went to church today and now that I am at home, I will just rest. I have been trying to recover from an ear infection for sometime now. So I will just be taking it easy today. There will be no crafting for me until I get better, But I will make up for it.Lol  So thank you all for stopping by and have a blessed day,  Happy Easter, Hugs Carmen

A Wedding Card, A Mini, & A Thank You Card.

Hi everyone I'm back. I have not posting in awhile. Sorry about that, I was sick for awhile. I'm better now. I had some problems with my ears and My blood pressure was acting up. But anyway I wanted to share some projects with you. I was in a swap at Life on the scrap beach. It was for an itsy mini album made out of a 6 x 12 Piece of paper. It was fun to make. A little challenging because it was a spring theme and we were supposed to use pastel colors, But my partner likes grundgy so I kind of struggled. Lol I also made a thank you card and a tag, but I didn't get a picture of the tag. Sorry. I also made a wedding card for a swap, but since I was sick I missed the deadline, So I am sending it in this month. I will try my hardest to not let that happen again. I'm still working on my other project. Hope to have that ready soon. I used the Tim Holtz paper for the mini. For the Thank you card I used the Abrianna paper from K & Co. And for the wedding card I started with the Card and envelope pack from Michaels. Its a recollections pack and I believe it has 50 prescored cards and envies. I used a role of wide organza ribbon from Hobby Lobby and some ribbon sliders also from Hobby Lobby. The stamp I used is from Joann's. I recently did a haul and got some awesome deals on clearance. I will have to do a haul video. The stamp was a wedding set by Heidi Grace or Cloud 9. On the front cover I added a shimmery paper from Michaels. I think it turned out pretty. So I would like to know what you think. Thanks for your comments. I really do appreciate it. And thanks for stopping by. Hugs Carmen
