Awwwww...

I'm always wanting to make cards for The Man's niece and nephew. They're still very young and I know they'd get a kick out of them. I finally made myself sit down and make them each a card for Easter, and they're going in the mail tomorrow. No worries - they'll have them on Saturday!

Here's the card for his nephew. It's a CASE of a card a friend of mine found on Splitcoast Stampers. Love it! The last panel being slightly askew is getting under my skin, though. Knew I should've used a ruler to line them up.



Here's the card for his niece.



I'm not thrilled with how his niece's card came out, but after spending about 3 hours trying to come up with something, I just decided to keep it simple.

I hope they like them!

I planned to take a picture of the card we sent this past Christmas, but I couldn't find it! If I can't take a picture right away of something I've made, I always keep one card aside so I've got a template. It'll turn up somewhere. As soon as it does, I'll share!

Busy, hectic, crazy week. That's nothing new. My brain is fried, and I'm exhausted. Still feeling overwhelmed in English Comp, but know I can get through it.

And, we're both off from work tomorrow! His office is closed, and I'm taking a personal day. It's going to be so nice sleeping in tomorrow. The only plan we have so far is going to the Olive Garden for lunch. Being that it's Good Friday, I'm going to make that my main meal for the day. Well, half of the portion size will be my main meal! Their portions are ginormous. The only thing I know for sure that I'm getting is an Italian orange cream soda. Yum!

Not sure yet what we're doing on Easter. We'd originally planned to head to NY, but it just didn't pan out. Then I wanted to invite everyone out here, but Dad's not feeling great, and I wouldn't want him and Mom to be alone on Easter if my sister and her family headed out this way. So, we may head to The Man's grandmother's house for Easter dinner. Or I may just cook up the itty bitty roast beast I picked up at the grocery store today, make some garlic mashed potatoes, find a good veggie and have our own humble little Easter dinner.

I'm having a Tastefully Simple party next Saturday. I wish you two could make it!!! I'm looking forward to it, though. I've got 5 positive responses so far, and two maybe's because they might have to work. If you've never heard of Tastefully Simple before (I hadn't until my neighbor had a party back in October), check out their stuff here. Their beer bread mix is fantastic. And I love the fact that when someone orders something at or through a party, the order is shipped directly to them - it doesn't all go to the hostess who then has to dole it all out and deliver it. That's freakin' sweet.

Okay, so this was way too scattered. Good thing it's not being graded!

Valerie, you'll have my email shortly! :-)
