Cards I Made This Month

Sadly, I had to make up some more sympathy cards this month.  I did love how they turned out though and I hope it helped the families feel just a bit better knowing that they are not grieving alone. 



Another anniversary card

      Thank you so much. I took a good year or so of from making cards but really do enjoy it so I made sure to find the time to pick it back up again.

      I always have such a hard time with Father's day cards but was so pleased with these this year.

    Your cards are awesome. I just finished making 50 simple thank you cards for my daughter's Sept. wedding. One thing crossed off the list!

    I love your cards! I'm sorry you had to make so many sympathy cards...I find those, and wedding/shower cards to be the hardest ones for me to make. So much emotions riding on them! I found you through the Inspire Me Monday blog hop! I hope you check out my blog at https://craftingalsalpapercrafts.com where I share cards and low carb recipes!

Friday Favorites: Mainely Fun

Image
 Most of my favorites this week center on our weekend trip to Maine.  My husband and I had a great time and it sounds like the boys had a great time at home without us with my mother in law in charge.  Other than that we had a pretty boring week at home with lots of rainy, dreary weather.    Before we get to all the fun though I did want to document on the blog somewhere the crazy amount of rain we've been getting.  It feels like we have had some sort of rain, thunderstorm, showers, etc. nearly every day for weeks now and it is really becoming a problem.  We had flood warnings in effect since last Friday afternoon when tropical storm Elsa dropped even more rain and on our lake most of the docks are now level with or under water-- ours included.  In fact late Friday afternoon I had to kayak out and tow our jet ski back home since it had floated away (and we had pulled it up onto shore!).   Notice how far from shore our dock now looks; that's how much the water has risen (Taken F

Friday Favorites: Birthday, Beach, & Baking Fun

Image
 I think this week is one of the best weeks I've had in a long time!  We celebrated 4th of July with the whole family, I started celebrating my birthday, our furniture finally arrived, AND I got in my first beach trip of the summer! Despite some rain every single day we did have long patches of dry and sun where we squeezed in a hike, a kayak ride, and other outdoor time.   I just loved my 4th of July nails!   Alec and I made all sorts of lovely food for the weekend-- key lime pie, lemon blueberry trifles, fruit salad, and a tossed salad.  Alec made whipped cream in 3 different colors (the trick is to add the food coloring to the cream before whipping) so he could make an American flag decoration on his pie and make the trifles more festive.  Though it was a very cold and rainy day on the 3rd we still had our family's 4th of July cookout; thankfully it was moved to another house with a big back deck that kept us mostly dry from the rain. The kids didn't care as they still w

Friday Favorites: So Many Photos and Memories

Image
 Despite some really hot temperatures with extreme humidity this week, we still managed to have lots of fun.  We even squeezed in a few hiking trips before the heat took over-- be prepared though as I have TONS of photos this week!  That's always a great sign of a fun and full summer. We met up with some friends of ours on Friday for a hike.  We ended up hiking for nearly 2 hours! It was our first time checking out Big River Management Area; there are so many trails there that it's easy to get lost. Thankfully the AllTrails App helped us get back to our cars for a late lunch.  Alec had a party to attend on Sunday but it was a good 40 minutes away from our house.  My husband and I decided to go hiking near where the party was taking place.  It wasn't my favorite hike mostly because the mosquitoes were out in full force and I got at least half a dozen bug bites but at least 1/3 of the trail was along this beautiful babbling brook.  Sunday night we went out on a RZR ride; desp
