Life IS good!

Now that I know they both have them, I can share a tag I made for friends Jeanne and Liane. They've both had some trials and tribulations this past year, Jeanne losing her beloved husband the 9TS back in February and Liane was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in April and has just finished up her Chemo and is now headed for Radiation. In my Internet travels, I find ideas that make me smile and sometimes I think the idea will make others smile as well. This tag is where that idea comes from. Life truly IS good.

I have the best friends!

Walked to the mailbox the other day and there's a box. From Debbie and Evan. What are they sending me? I get inside and open the box and it's REAL Vermont Maple Syrup! And some real Vermont maple candies that are shaped like maple leaves. How ingenious of the Vermonters! And a pen from the NH Motor Speedway. See, they were on vacay up that way a few weeks ago. And they got this great stuff to send to John and I. Now I'd never had the real Vermont maple syrup. I've had the fakey crap they sell in the stores here. I told Deb I had half a mind (no smart comments Thitou) not to tell John about the syrup and just eat it all by dipping my finger in the jug! But I couldn't do that! It is yumalicious and I am thinking of all sorts of different ways I can enjoy it. Some whomp biscuits are on my grocery list for this week, that's a given! Thank you both. Again. And again and again!

Cards. cards, cards

Kari and her dd Abri came over yesterday to card. Abri was so afraid she was gonna "mess it up" and I assured her that there are no mistakes in stamping! She had nothing to fear! That girl rocked some cards. She looked at a couple of card guides I had and said, How mad are you gonna be if I do my own thing? NOT AT ALL! And she happily marched to the beat of her own drum and let the paper guide her. She found my t!m stash and HAD to have some of his stuff to put on her cards! Good thing she's a cute kid...err...teenager, cuz not just anyoldbody gets my t!m stuff!! Between the three of us, we made 27 cards in about 3.5 hours. The two sets are Abri's. The middle three sets are Kari's, and the last two sets are mine. We used two retired CTMH pp's Caboodle and Bella.
