I've been running around so much... always busy, mom of 4 kids, working full time with a stressful job of finance director, wife, crafter when I can to escape it all.  The past 2 years have been extra stressful at work and I kept on going because that's what you do you keep on plowing ahead.  That's what strong people do.  They get through this.  I helped keep my team motivated and going even if there were times when I wasn't sure.  And then after the past 2 years this summer I started having insomnia... big time... and nightmares...  I got some sleeping aids... but even with that it wasn't enough and finally after giving it my all, I broke down.  After 3 da

It's time for a new challenge over at  Meljen's Designs .  This time around it's a wonderful sketch.  Don't know about you but even when my mojo is down a sketch will help it going! Here's my take with this great sketch.  I used the totally adorable  Little Miss Heart Mouse .  She just soooo cute!

There's a great new release today over at Doodle Pantry .  I'm sharing a little fast card that I made with the super cute little  Li'l Gorilla Jungle I thought it would be perfect for my son's Valentine's day card.

It's time for a new challenge over at  Digi Choosday  and this time around it's about Pink! I really love playing with pink so this was not an issue at all.... well beside deciding which digis and papers to use!!!  My world, so many fabulous options.  I finally went for the great  Work and Play 2 collection , the papers and the image are from that set and it's such a great deal!  But you can also find just the image called Florist  here . I had such a fun time coloring this up!  I used a flower as well from that set for the embellishment.
