"Make-It Monday" - You Always Deliver

Good morning everyone and HAPPY MONDAY!  I hope your day is wonderful and your week even better!

I'm happy to be back at blogging and sharing with you! My trip to Greece was amazing.  Some incredible things happened to encourage me during difficult times.  It was hard to go, but I was blessed to see that my husband and I can still enjoy life and find joy in each day even after losing our dear son Adam.  It was hard to come home too.  We never stopped thinking of Adam during our trip, but coming home and again facing the fact that he's not here anymore was overwhelming and heartbreaking.  The hurt never leaves us, but God gives us the strength and courage to go on.  We have so much to be grateful for and I choose JOY!  I find comfort in knowing I will be reunited with my son one day in eternity! I'm choosing to focus on God and the blessings He has provided! 

One of those blessings is my Stampin' Up! business and the people that are in my life because of it...my customers, my followers, my team and fellow demonstrators...all I consider friends!  All this to say...I'm HAPPY and GRATEFUL to be back at it!  THANKS for keeping me going!

It's Monday and I have a really cute "Make-It Monday" to share with you!  Enjoy and be INSPIRED!

14 Days of Love - X’s & O’s Tic Tac Toe

Hello and how's your Friday starting out?  YAY!  It's the weekend!  I'm super excited to be going to a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Event in Livermore on Sunday..but first on Saturday, I get to see a friend I haven't seen in years!  We worked together at AT&T before my husband and I started our family!  She just retired after 30 some years!  I also get to see my son...I'll spend the night with him in Woodland! I am bummed I'm gonna miss my daughters volleyball tournament...but there is one next weekend too...I love watching her play. She starts high school next year and it will be a whole new level of play...these tournaments are to help her and the other girls get ready!

Ok...enough jabbering...SORRY!  Here is one of my FAVORITE Valentine's Day treats this year!  I hope you'll give it a try!!

HAVE FUN & ENJOY!!

The topper is a 4" X 4" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock scored and folded at 2".  I rounded the corners with my Envelope Punch Board.  The "board" is a 3 3/4" X 3 3/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The kisses are your playing pieces!

Stamp the hashtag with the Sheltering Tree stamp set and the heart with the Meant to Be stamp set.

I typed the saying on my computer and printed it on Thick Whisper White cardstock, attached it to the topper and punched two holes side by side for my ribbon.  I, OF COURSE, used Linen Thread, along with Poppy Parade Mini Striped Ribbon. Don't you just LOVE it?!?!


Well..that's it for today!  THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by! Have a FANTASTIC DAY & ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!
