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.

    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!

What I've Been Priming

While it seemed like the Amazon truck was in our driveway every single day this month I realized that the majority of my purchases were food and health/ beauty items that I tend to buy on repeat.  I promise to write a whole separate post about that in a few weeks but in the meantime here are some other household items we bought this past month from Amazon.   I splurged and bought a robot vacuum last month and I just love it!   Alec's teacher recommended corn huskers lotion for his eczema and he seems to like it.  I also ordered him a few bottles of his favorite Dionis lotion and some small travel size bottles of them for his school bag.  Alec started track and field and needed a new/ larger Yeti tumbler , a gym bag, and some shorts; we found some great longer length ones .  I bought myself two more pairs of these leggings ; I just love how they fit and the pockets are a wonderful bonus!  I bought this vertical mouse and it has worked wonders on my elbow when paired with this

Friday Favorites: We Bought Furniture!

We had a fabulous week! The weather has been beautiful and we spent lots of time outside.  I was up early on Friday to bring Alec to school.  The other boys and I flew through their school work and while we had plans to resume meeting up with our hiking group for some small group hikes it was really cold and windy.  We decided to stay home and I spent a few hours on the phone with my mom catching up instead.  I also got dinner all prepped so we could eat at a reasonable time after working in the evening.  We headed to the shop at 5 to load up scrap.  When we were done Ian wanted to show me the jet ski and what he had left to do to it.  It doesn't look at all like jet ski he started with!  All painted and ready for the stickers Saturday morning Ian and my husband headed to the scrap yard while my mother in law took Alec to karate.  Evan and I enjoyed a quiet morning at home.  By lunchtime everyone was back home and then my husband and I headed out to rake the grates at the hydroele

Friday Favorites: Our First Picnic of 2021

Image
We had a pretty quiet week at home mixed in with a few outdoor hikes.  The weather was considerably colder this week so we didn't get in as much hiking time as last week but that's OK. I know the warmer weather is coming to stay soon.   Both Ian and Evan only had two school subjects on Friday since Evan and I were heading out later in the morning to meet up with friends of ours for a hike and picnic.  Alec had a full day of virtual schooling and I checked in with him before leaving to make sure his day was going well.  We had beautiful weather for a hike and enjoyed a nice long picnic together in the sun talking and catching up with one another.  We made plans for another get together soon.   I had texted Alec at the end of his day to see how his day finished up and he was confident it had gone well. Once home we had dinner and watched Yes Day for family movie night.   Saturday morning Evan and I worked on picking out school materials for next year and then I paid bills befor
