… oh my!

Lots of love for you all today.  🙂

So, I am the guest blogger over on Creating Keepsakes today.  Love the folks there dearly, and have been honored to work with them for many years now.  (Brittany, Lori, Joannie, Kim, Jennafer, everyone.  Love you girls.)

Here is a peek at the scrapbook page I created for them.  Be sure to go HERE – the CK blog – to see the full project and video… and another giveaway!!

So… in addition to hooking you up with the video, I have a giveaway.  Remember last week when I told you about how much I love the Sizzix embossing folders?  (They cover the whole front of a card – woohoo!)  I thought I would give a couple sets away here – I had extras from a project.  So, just leave a comment telling me about your Mom's Day plans by Sunday night and you have a chance to win these two sets of embossing folders…

    My fiance and I are taking both of our mothers to see In The Heights on Broadway on Mother’s Day! Should be a nice day. Hope you have a fantastic Mother’s day too.

    I love these embossing folders!

    OK so ready for MY Mother’s Day plans? I have the BEST plans of EVERYONE! For Mother’s Day…………I have NO plans!!! YAHOOOO!!!! Let me explain why I am so thrilled now! On April 1st, no fool now, my 17 year old son had a 5 1/2 hour surgery to reconstruct the right side of his face after he was injured in a basketball game! Yes, I said a Basketball game! He is 6 foot 8 and is being recruited by several division one colleges. While playing at one of them he broke EVERY bone on the right side of his face, in fact the only thing to remain intact was the muscle that held his eye in place. He fractured his cheekbone in three places, his orbital floor, eye socket and sinus cavity. (He was head butted by another kid while playing shoving his cheekbone through his eye socket and into his sinus cavity) WE ARE SOOOOO VERY LUCKY, here we are a month later after surgery to place titanium plates into his face, weekly surgeon appointments, XRAYS, Eye Doctor appointments, and most recently an appointment to make him a face mask so he can play again….he is FINE! So I HAVE THE BEST GIFT OF ALL, MY SON IS FINE and we are doing NOTHING TOGETHER for mother’s day!!! 🙂 Christine

    Hi Jennifer! I work in a floral department, inside a grocery store, and Mother’s day is one of the busiest of the year! So needless to say, I’ll be working most of the day. Then I will head to my sister’s house to celebrate with my mom and my whole family! (about 27 of us!) I always look so forward to being with everyone! We have such fun together with lots of laughs!! Thank you for the chance to win the wonderful embossing folders! Love using them in my Cuttlebug, but do not have these sets. 🙂

    Happy Mother’s day to you!!! I am going to see my son place his heart out at his Saturday baseball game and then on Sunday it’s “me time” to scrap minibook gifts for teachers, secretaries, prinicipals and a friend’s birthday! I love this time for me to release my creative energy, “my therapy”, the best present I could get. I also scrapbooked a single page layout for my mom including pictures of my kids, my sister, her son, and me and my mom. I put it into a shadow box along with some novels and mailed it to my mom who lives 8 hours away. She loved it!!!!!!!!!!!

    Actually, my Mom lives on the east coast and I’m on the west coast so I won’t be seeing her. Since I’m not a mom myself, Mother’s Day at my house is just another day. Jeez, that sounds really depressing, doesn’t it?

    I just love the texture folders! Your layout is beautiful, as always. My Mother’s Day will be spent helping our last minute nursery customers pick out plants for their mother! Then after we close my husband will fire up the grill and cook my dinner. I hope your Mother’s Day will be very special for you!

    Sunday evening I will be having some “me time” in my “Woman Cave”. After a day of church and doing a dinner for my 81 year old Mother, I will retire into my favorite place and play with my favorite things, paper, ink, stamps and a loving cat sitting at my feet.

    Well, my husband and my mom share the same birthday – 5/7. So we are getting together tomorrow to celebrate the birthdays, and since Mother’s Day is Sunday, we are celebrating that too. But, my husband did say that I could buy something for Mother’s Day! Boy, he never should have said that…hmmm, I wonder where I’ll go shopping? CRAFT WAREHOUSE!!!

    i think Mother’s Day is my favorite day of the year!

    after Church, we go out to brunch. then we take our kids over to my mom’s and she and i and a few kids head over to a GORGEOUS nursery to get in the mood for planting! we always come away with my gift for my mom: everything she needs to fill her big pot on the back porch. she buys different flowers every year, and we have a blast!

    We had our mother’s day back in March – I could not see my Mum on the actual Sunday, so we met up the week before, for lunch – just the two of us & had a walk along the riverside in the spring sunshine. It seemed more special because there weren’t lots of other Mums out with their families!
    I kinda copied your idea for a set of notecards for my gift to Mum – she loved them! Thanks for that, Jennifer!
