***WARNING: LONG, LOTS OF PICTURES, SOME PERSONAL INFORMATION--NONE OF WHICH IS INAPPROPRIATE IN THE LEAST. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.***
Okay, first I'm gonna tell you the real gist of the post. I actually made a card this morning! It was SO much fun--I didn't realize how much I had missed paper crafting this past week!!!!
Here's the card~
Details~
For these fabulous challenges~
It's SOOOOOO good to be back and functioning again on my blog! So much happened while I was away and so I have a lot of catching up to do--sorry for those who were neglected by my DT duties that weren't done up to my standards--I hope you'll forgive me!
On another note, I really do feel lost. It's been a few days since I last posted and I have been in a crazy, dream-like state this past week trying to help my mom and sister get ready for my sister's wedding that will take place at the beginning of August. I haven't made a card for about a week...okay, I made one just a bit ago, but it was WEIRD! The biggest reason I haven't crafted this week?
These two cuties~
Yep. Another of my sisters came out this week as well, bringing her two adorable children. I had SO much fun having my three year old niece over almost every day. As you can see, she's quite take with my little fur baby--that picture was taken last night at Hundie's 3rd birthday party. My 3 year old niece picked out Hundie's presents, cake, and wanted to match her. Notice they both are wearing blue and white stripes?! LOL, it was too cute!!!
It was a really wonderful surprise to see that I had won 3 times this week with three different cards--it really is an honor each time I am chosen as winner and I really appreciate that someone can love my cards! :) I also have been grateful for all the fabulously kind comments that you have left. If you didn't know, I have a "Thank You" freebie for you. Ellen over at In a World of Craft has really done it justice! I hope you take time to go and say hi to her! She's a fabulous card maker!
Here's the gorgeous card she made with the digi sentiment that I'm giving away for free~
And with that, I wish you all a good evening and a restful Sabbath on the morrow! Happy stamping, friends! :)

Awww so glad you had a nice visit with your family. But isn't it amazing how we miss our paper! I've had a busy week too and didn't get anything made ack! I like your pretty card, the textrue of your flower and corduroy brad caught my eye! Blessings on your Sunday Mynnette and happy bday to your fur baby!!!
I love what you did with this sketch.
Hey Mynnette! Thank you for stopping by :) Your card is so pretty! The same thing happens to me if I don't do something crafty every couple of days. You had a good reason not to be on the computer! Congrats on your wins too. And you are an awesome crafter! God gave you a gift and you are sharing it with the world. Is doesn't get any better than that :) Big hugs and have a great rest of your weekend :)

Beautiful card! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog over at: www.loriesstampingplace.blogspot.com
So glad our sketch helped to inspire you this week! Thanks for playing along at Try Stampin On Tuesday!
Welcome back Mynnette - we've missed you. However it's good to take time out once in a while! - Jacqueline xx
I'm so pleased you have had a chance to get crafty! It's a wonderful 'therapy'!
Your dotty card is just lovely! Thanks for joining our polka dot challenge at Fab N Funky this week!
Such a beautiful card thisa post. I love the picture of your niece & fur-baby. I don't know who looks happier in the pic. Your niece is such a sweetie and I'm so glad you had a fabulous time with her.
You shouldn't feel bad for not blogging; family comes first, always! You work so hard on your cards, blogs & DT obligations year round so a break for a week shouldn't be a problem. A job gives you holiday time away, why should a hobby have different rules? Don't feel guilty about the time off; enjoy it!!
Hugs sweetie xo
