Some news to share!!

Hello my friends! I hope you are having a great day. I am so happy to share this with you. Today, I got my Paper Crafts Magazine in the mail and I my first card ever published is in there :)
It feels really good :) My daughter and I couldn't stop looking at it. LOL. Just in case you have got your PCM my card is on page 63.

My daughter couldn't stop smiling for mommy :) Poor girl, she is a little bit sick.

Here is my card :)

Also I want to show you some Acrylic Blocks I got from "smARTworks Store! I have to say they are awesome, they are not too heavy and you hold them perfectly. Also they are more affordable than the ones from the Craft Stores :) And just in case you are in the mood for new stamps, smARTworks have new sets, you can see them HERE.

Happy Anniversary!

Hello my friends! Hope you are having a great day! I don't have a card for you today, I hope later. Today, my wonderful husband and I are celebrating our 8th Wedding Anniversary!
Yesterday, I planned to make a card for him, but when I checked the time, it was almost time to start dinner, then he was around my craft area and I didn't do it. Then I decided to watch TV and I fell asleep.
Anyway, today we are planning to go out for some yummy dinner at the Indian Restaurant, I've heard really good comments about this place and we are going to try it. My good neighbor Nicole is babysitting Rebecca, so we can have a nice time, just us!

Here is a picture of our wedding day in Perú. At this time, it's winter over there. That day was a very cold day and even started raining a little bit, but I always kept a big smile, it was my Wedding!!

By the way, yesterday DD and I made "anniversary cookies" for daddy, LOL.

Have a great day!
God bless you all!

Hello my friends.

Hello my friends! I hope you are having a great day! I have to confess I haven't stamped in awhile. First I got a back injury, that didn't let me do much. I am grateful I am doing pretty good right now. Then, we got a new computer, DH installed all the programs and stuff, but my old picture program is gone, so I have to learn how to use the new program. (learning is a process)
and finally I got a job!! I am babisitting a little girl 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. So, now I am in the process to manage my time between taking care of the little girl and homeschooling my child.
So far, I have to say, today was a much better day than yesterday. This little girl is adorable!! Right now, she is teething, so sometimes she gets a little fuzzy, but other than that, I love my job!!
I will be changing my stamping time for night time instead of day time. Hope you come and visit me and check my new creations I will be posting soon.

In other news, thanks so much for all the "Cards for Bekah". She always opens her big bright blue eyes and always gives me a big smile. Isn't that wonderful?!

God bless you

Hello my friends!! and some Candy for you

This blog candy is now closed, the winner has been picked!!

Thanks so much.

Happy Monday everyone, I hope your day is happy and bright. Today, I don't have anything to show you, it started just as any other day and ended up doing some yard work!! WHAT?!?! I was not planning at all doing any yard work, I just planned to do some projects with DD as our homeschool class, we were starting our pots and putting some seeds to start indoors, of course I explained and did most of the job, but DD was happy, (yes, not math or spelling class, she was a happy girl).
Then I saw some weeds (well, a lot, LOL) so I had my rake and started raking, after a while I had a pile of weeds waiting to be moved into the burn pile, i was getting tired, feeling the heat in my face and body. I decided I should stop and get inside because I was HUNGRY!!! Yes, it was 1:10pm!!! DD was playing on the computer, (did I say playing on the computer???), I drank some water and made some yummy BBQ sandwiches (I love leftovers).

I planned to do some stamping, (BTW MY great friend and neighbor Nicole brought me today tons of stamps!!! Thanks so much Nicole and Gary.) but I am soooooo tired and decided better start my dinner and get ready to take DD to her swim lesson.

Today is my Blogoversary!!!!!

I am back home!!

Hello everyone, I am back !! We came back home yesterday afternoon, all very tired.
Last week was a very busy week for us, we spent 6 days at my MIL's house. We helped her as much as we could. Rebecca had a lot of fun playing with her cousins (17 and 13, LOL) and also chasing the cat and taking the dog for a walk.
The weather wasn't too bad, but I didn't bring a heavy coat, so I spent most of the time inside than out. Last Sunday was my FIL's Memorial Service, it was a time to remember him, time to cry and time to smile. We were happy to see all his brothers, friends and a lot of people that I didn't know.
Rebecca (who is only 4) woke up last night crying because she couldn't sleep, she told me this morning she was crying because she misses grandpa. Thanks so much for all your prayers and support.

On other news, Susan (owner of smARTworks) asked me few days ago to be part of the DT, I accepted of course. Thanks so much Susan for the opportunity.

I changed my Blog a little bit, colors and picture. I took that picture yesterday on our way back home. This is White Pass (WA), we haven't had snow yet, we hope soon, DD really wants to make a snowman and angel wings. I added some Christmas songs on my playlist.

I will try to come back later to show you some cards I made few days ago.
God bless you

NEWS!!! and a giveaway!!!

Hello everybody, I hope you are having a better day than me. I shouldn't complain, but my asthma problems still making me sick and with no energy.

On the other hand I want to share great news, remember the card I made few days ago for MFT GD Contest, well I didn't get the GD spot, BUT I will be the next Ambassador on the next MFT Release, I got so excited when I got the message that I almost had an asthma attack, seriously, but now I am feeling better.

Also, I have a giveaway for you. I got an extra copy of Paper Crafts Magazine (Nov-Dec), but this time you have a little homework to do. On Wednesday and Thursday I will post some challenges, you have to create a card or a project and then link it on the Wednesday or Thursday post. I will choose the winner from all the entries.

Wednesday Challenge is to create a Circular card or use circular embellishments, or something must be circular.

Thursday Challenge I can't tell you yet, but it is something really cool, stay tuned.

I will draw a winner name next Tuesday (Nov 18) so have plenty of time to participate, for every card or project you get one entry!!!

I am working on DT projects, at the same time I am trying to take it easy because I get tired even when I breath. I can't wait to see your great creations!!!

Have a great night!!
