Feline Friday (shh, again I'm posting it late, tsk tsk)

So I am late again. But what else is new?! LOL. This was SO MUCH FUN TO MAKE. Do I always say that? I must because I sense that I type that alot. Well, I guess that's why I create paper art... IT'S FUN!! The only thing that enhances that is when you are given the chance to share it with someone else, like now. Here's my latest.

Sincerely,
Sonja

Best way to spend Mother's Day

I have enjoyed getting ready this year for Mother's Day. Seems like we've been working on it for awhile. Had to collect the rocks (long walk down to the river-took most of the morning), had to wash the rocks,



then paint them. Wait for paint to dry and then paint again. I had so much fun watching them paint their rocks. It's a little hard for me sometimes to "let them at it". I tend to think it needs to be perfect and a certain way. But I reprogrammed myself and just let them have fun. It is the best way really, that I can think of, to celebrate Mother's Day. Just being together and celebrating that God has given me four WONDERFUL children to bless my life.
Here's how I am choosing to (hopefully) bless my mothers. One is for my Mom, and the other for my Mother-in-law. They both love their garden, so these are for there gardens, and the kids painted some rocks for them to put in there too.



Hope you all have a blessed Mother's Day!!

Sincerely,
Sonja

Stamping my Heart OUT!!!

So with Mother's day coming up, I have been stamping my heart out. Been stamping with some of my new goodies from Cornish Heritage Farms. Ya know it all started with buying a few Thomas Kinkade images so I could make some nice gifts for my wonderful Mother-in-law. Turns out I am loving more than just the TK images. I started stamping with acrylics, never had even touched rubber. But who doesn't love quality stuff right? So I have fallen deep. Deep into CHF. I am loving their backgrounders, and well.... see for yourself!!








They'll be more, if I can get some more time tomorrow night. So stay tuned! LOL
Have a good night, if you have any left. Mine's DONE!!
Sincerely,
Sonja
