The Big 4-0 and Happy Summer Mail

 

My oldest son turned 40 yesterday and his card has been sitting here for nearly a week waiting for a sentiment to be added to the inside.  I had both his girls here for two days making gifts and cards for him.  We even made a "fruit" cake with candles. ( their fruit cake was a jello fruit salad in a mold.. they are all on a clean eating diet, so it was all fresh fruit and homemade jello....LOL)  We were so busy I didn't get a chance for photos of them.  We were all ready when he came to pick them up, after work........all but Mom.  I had completely forgotten about his card....BAD MOM!!! LOL!

 

Everything was cut with the Cricut, and a little white gel pen stitching.  Luckily I had set it aside ( so girls could make their cards) as I came in to put things away and finish the card this morning and knocked over a FULL cup of coffee all over my desk....ugh!  So Betsy got a good cleaning....unplanned, but desperately needed cleaning! The card is still sitting here waiting for that sentiment....haha!

 

Most know that DEB and I have been exchanging post cards for quite awhile now.  She blessed me with these three this summer.

 

As you can see, she is quite a versatile artist.

 

Well, I need to finish THAT card for my son.......then, since I have a start.....the rest of this area needs put away and cleaned.  I won't have the GDs till next Thursday......a little scheduling problem.  Since Dad drops them off on the way to work, and he will be out of town Monday through Wednesday and there isn't enough time for Mom to bring them clear out here, and it would be two trips to Bakersfield for me........the GDs "other" Papa will be in charge.  I'll pick them up Tuesday, for a painting class I signed them up for at the beginning of the summer................I'll share photos later ;)

 

Hope your weekend is full of creativity!
