Happy 50th Anniversary/Mojo Monday

Hello again.  I have not been on the computer much the last couple days.  I have gone back to work and I am trying to figure out how my card making and blog visiting will all fit in together with work.  I made this card for my MIL.  She called and asked me to make a special card for her aunt's 50th wedding anniversary.  The 50th anniversary is the Golden Anniversary so I tried to work those colors into the card.  It needed to be pretty simple so I could mail it to her and so she can put it in an envelope.  A lot of my cards are so embellished they just about don't fit in an envelope.  Either I hand deliver or I have some bigger envelopes that are 4x6 and that helps with more room for some of the embellishments.

I used my new set from PTI called Embellishments.  This is a beautiful set and I can see myself using it a lot.  I also played along this week at Mojo Monday.  They always have the cutest sketches.

I also wanted to share an award I received from two wonderful ladies I call my friends.  Stella and Ros both gave this sweet award to me.  You must stop by and check their blogs out if you haven't already.  Both are very talented ladies with big hearts.  Thank you so much for thinking of me.

The rules for accepting this award are:

1: To thank the person who gave you the award so I'd like to say "Thank you so much" to Ros and Stella who choose my blog for this award.
2: Copy the award to your blog.
3: List 3 things you love about yourself

1.) I love that I have a wonderful family who I can count on always being there for me.
2.) I love that I am a very strong willed person and if I set my mind to it I can usually accomplish it.
3.) I love that I have the BEST blog friends a girl can possibly have.  If it weren't for you I would be lost in this world.  You have all been so kind and caring to me when I have needed it the most.

4: Choose a favorite photo:

Many of you see this photo every time you visit my blog.  What you don't see is the other half.  This is my best friend Gina.  When I lived in Iowa, it was her family that we spent every holiday together with.  We spent almost every Friday together shopping at Archivers, eating dinner, and shopping at the mall or JoAnn's.  Now that I have moved to Alabama, I am lost without her.  Our kids played together, our husbands went to High School together(which we didn't know until we met, neither one of us are from Iowa but our husbands are).  I miss you Gina! 

5. Is to pick 5 people to pass this award to. 

Well, as you all know I have way to many wonderful blog freinds to pass this to.  It is for each and every one of you.  So please feel free to take it.  Post this and tell me all about you.  I want to see them all!
