Just TWO weeks to go now. You all know I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. Ha ha. The only good thing is that I am still working so that is keeping me busy. Some years I get out of school and then don't leave for Turkiye for a week or so. That week or so makes me (and esp my husband) crazy. I am so glad to be taking off earlier this year. Next school year we will be working much later, at least a week or more longer into the summer! Grrr.
Happy Tuesday! should be a nice quiet day. My only kiddo today is pretty mellow. He loves to play with the train, have me draw him complex train tracks on the table. he loves to sing and do hand motions to the songs. He's such a delight. I always look forward to Tuesdays.

Happy Monday everyone! It's time for a little coffee theme card today. I am so happy that we are just three weeks from the trip. I am having fun with my little kids each day as we approach summertime. The kids will get a break for a week and then they (and the same teacher) will continue through summer for at least a month). Then when I come back in fall, hopefully they will all be there for their last month, August when two of them will turn 3.
Here's a stunning creation from Karin, check out her wonderful blog, HERE. She is using a beautiful die cut that she won from me some time ago. I just love her colors on this creation and how they POP right off the creation. so gorgeous
Are you having a great weekend? I am. I am on the last month of sales of the current laces that I have. I am not sure how much new lace I will get. LOL, I say that, but I know when I get there it will be a crazy amount, ha ha. I just LOVE it. I can't wait to check out the stores. I hope new designs have come out this year. I am looking forward to that.

Woo Hoo, it's Friday and marking just three weekends from the trip at this point. I will be a lot more serious about the packing and gift buying. Time to start making a list or two to make sure I have everything! I hope you all have wonderful plans for your Friday and for your weekend.

Happy Thursday. Glad the end of the week is approaching. I am sharing this sweet card today. I do like dogs and stamps of dogs. I haven't had a dog as a per since I was a child. It's really very hard where I live to keep a dog. It's so hot, you can't keep an outside dog and any larger sized dog shouldn't be kept inside. Well, that's debatable. I have so much stuff inside my house it would be hard to keep a large dog inside.
Happy May Day, I believe that is what they call May the 1st, just 21 more days to Istanbul now. I leave on the 22nd, but I even have to work the morning of the 22nd. So I will goto work in the morning, get off work, run home grab my luggage and get to the airport approximately 3 hours before the flight takes off. WOW. Gonna be a busy day, This card says, "Hope you day is filled to the brim with sunshine."

Wow, it's April 30th. Happy Tuesday. I can't believe we are at the end of the month now. Tuesday's are always very slow as we only get one child who comes. He's such a delight. What a sweet little boy, it's amazing to see how much these kids grow and learn. He's been with us since December and I have seen so much growth in him.

Happy Monday everyone! This is the last couple of days of April. Woo Hoo. Just 24 days until Turkiye now. Thought we would start out the week with a little coffee theme card... It says, "I just realized I'm not a morning person. I'm a coffee person." Here's a really weird thing, I don't often care for American coffee nor do i drink coffee day to day at home. I do however love coffee in Turkiye and enjoy it there!

Wishing my DH a very Happy Anniversary today. We've been together a darn long time now. Love him dearly. He's the best. I'm the lucky one!
Here's the cutest Guest Designer card from Gaye. She made this darling baby theme card using her prizes from LAST year. I just love the bling she added, what a nice touch. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Would you like to see your art here? please send me a message or email with photos! I'd love to share
For the DH (Dear Hubby), "signed, sealed, delivered,...i'm yours!" I hope you already knew that but I just wanted to make you a fun card that said it. This is part of the new technique that I learned from Stampilistic this past March at the convention using Echo Park 6x6 paper pads. Kisses dear!
Here's a mini card that i made while in Dallas. I am sharing some great cards for the DH right before our anniversary this sunday. I know sometimes he will be checking my blog. I hope he has a great day--and I hope all of you have a great day. The card says "so grateful to have you in my life!" How true is that!
With our anniversary coming up, I am so excited to spend time with John this weekend. I will be out with my dear mom and Jan the first two days and then he will pick me up for a nice Sunday. Love you dear.
Here's a little humor to start off the day! HA! I just got a huge laugh out of it. I hope you do too. Perhaps I have never mentioned it here on this blog, but another hobby that I love is collecting fossils. I live in south Texas where they are readily available. And by that, I mean, you could go into the dirt in your backyard and probably find some!

ONE MONTH!! I am now 30 days from departure. How exciting is that? I know I am so ready to go. Just a month now. Woo Hoo. Four and half weeks of school to go! We can do it! I thought this lace was just gorgeous! I love the sentiment on this card, "Love is in the air. And it smells like coffee." HA!

Happy Tuesday everyone. Thought I would share a card with one of my favorite topics today, COFFEE!! You all know I love coffee as a topic, lol. I took an awesome class at the convention to make coffee theme cards, it was from Brass and Bliss (a.k.a. Rubbernecker). We made coffee theme cards that were also gift card holders. What fun. I look forward to sharing those with you later.
