A Whole Lot of Jesus, Plenty of Paper and a Blessed Creative Life
Howdy!!! It's almost the end of the week... how fast time flies!!! ***WAIT STOP!!! I wrote this post on Thursday, 1/10/13!!! Just wanted to note this down, for future references. Ok... you may continue!!!*** Yesterday, right after I dropped the boys off to school, I knew that I needed to head down to the store and pick up milk and eggs. I got into the store, and the 1st person I see is a friend of mines from church! We used to serve lunch together. :) Talking stories, and catching up, cause we always see each other in passing, but never had a chance to talk stories and such. Then out of the corner of my eye... who do I see approaching me... Lu-Lu!!! LOL!!! Funny... the Lord knows I just need that girl in my life! So we all 3 start talking stories, and doing small talk. Then we must be on our merry way, and go about our shopping. After we were all done with getting our items, we all meet up again at the cashier stand!!! Bwahahahaa... we bid each other good bye... and then it was time to start our busy day!! 
I headed back home... threw a load in the wash (my goal this year is to at least throw 1 load in the wash daily!! There is always something to wash, and I don't want to wait til' the weekend to do them. The weekends are so busy with my boys, and if we're not out of the house, I want to play and create all day and not have to worry about doing house chores. Heh! I took care of the dogs, then tended to the flowers in my garden. Some of them are dying since it is *wind-ter* here. I just pulled and cut off all the dead leaves, and then watered my yard. I have a bunch of papayas growing now... and 2 eggplants growing nicely too. Couple of the papayas are almost ready to pick, don't ya think? I wanted to know when it was time to pick a papaya.. did a search on google, and got this page. I read up on the papayas and found some interesting things about it. Did you know that papayas are either male, female or hermaphrodite?!!! Sounds crazy right? Very interesting!!! This is my 1st batch of papayas, so I'm probably going to give the 1st of them to my mom and dad. I know they will be pretty stoked to see that their youngest child had planted a papaya tree all on her own, and now producing her own papayas!! LOL!! Funny, but really, they will be really happy to hear and see that my papayas are huge and yummy to eat!!! 
MY PROJECT:
knowing what to create, or what to write about that takes away my interest in blogging or even not having enough time to do so? But you know what is funny?? All this time I thought this blog was called "The Sweet Shop" and I just realized that it isn't that but "The Sweet STOP"... OMGoodness... and I thought that they were making a mistake in their spelling - not realizing that even on their sketches they had "The Sweet Stop" as well... boy my eyes were playing tricks on me, huh? What a dork I am... I also decided to use the color combo shown here on the left for my project. Finding it on the ColourQ blog. If you need some color combo ideas, you should check out their blog. They have a lot of pretty color combo's to choose from!! |

calling from work stating that he needed to be taken to the E.R., because a bunch of insulation at work fell on top of his leg, causing great pain to his ankle. This pile of insulation that fell on him was nearly 300 pounds. It forced him to the floor, causing his glasses to fall off, and the forklift nearby drove over his glasses. So not only was he in pain, he could hardly see!! It's a good thing that the kids were on Spring Break, so we headed down to get him pronto! Well, after 2-1/2 hours at the E.R., turns out that his ankle was just a sprain, Thank God!!!
Yesterday evening we attended a wedding. Because of DH's foot, we didn't stay very long. But it was nice to get out together, just the two of us, and have the night out alone, it was like we were on a date. Well, here is a gate-fold card that I created for the bride n' groom. The image is a Tiddly Ink's image, which is a newly released image. Christy is having a 25% sale beginning today, and ending on the 3rd of May. So if you haven't already done so, go check out the new images that she's added to her collection. You will not be disappointed!!
I cut the Circle Scallop on my Cricut using my SCAL program. I found a very neat font that allows me to cut these types of shapes. Very interesting to find all sorts of free images on the net. I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers, and flowers are from All Natural Accents.
Thanks for your time in stopping by n' commenting!! It's always a pleasure to "talk stories" with those of you that leave a word or two.
God Bless!!
Hugs, Jen

The above project is actually a 4x6 memo pad. It doesn't have a sentiment, but it could easily pass for a birthday project.... the image is from one of my favorite digital companies - Tiddly Inks. I colored this image with Copic Sketch Markers.
The above card was created using a Friends Forever stamp, which I purchased off of eBay. I think the sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I colored the image with watercolor pencils.
