It's Monday -

- and you know how much I just lovvvvve Mondays...not. I hate this Monday even moreso because it's a holiday and I have to work! Something about the news doesn't stop even for holidays. Ummm - but I'm not a reporter??....and I don't deliver the paper....so why the heck should I have to work?!

I had a really good weekend though - very productive. Got lots of things done around the house, well, I nagged a lot and it got done ;) Our hallway is actually starting to look like people live here! I had Rob put up a couple more things that were meant to be hung like 12 years ago. After a weekend of nagging, I volunteered to make dinner, well, the side dish anyway. I made spinach with turkey bacon and parm - ohhhh was that ever good. Up until the part where I had the runs all night - that part, not so much.

Alright, now that you've heard about the runs I had last night, let's get on to some cards, shall we?

I started the day off with another card that had sewing on it - just a little though. I'm not a butterfly person myself but I know a lot of you girls are and thought this would be something cute to drop in the mail to say hello. I put Glossy Accents on the big butterfly and Stickles on the smaller ones; it's kinda cute, eh?


Now this card I absolutely LOVE. I saw it on Lisa Johnson's blog and loved it. It's so clean. You know, it's funny, I see all these questionnaires to be on design teams and they ask what your style is - and I really can't say. I think I know and then I do a card like this that is so not like my norm. So I dunno - I guess my style is I do whatever the hell I want at the time; how 'bout that?



And last but not least - my bestest sewing card yet! I love this little card, I'll tell you what! I was going to add more to it, but I didn't want to take away from the sewing or the simple and somewhat faint sentiment, so I left it alone. I'm addicted to sewing. I ran out of the thread that came with the machine though, so I'll have to wait or I'll have to make a card that matches the last oddly colored spool of thread I have which is some obscure turquoise color.



If you got yourself a day off today - ENJOY IT!
Thanks for stopping in - appreciate it, Girlfriends!

Beautiful cards Michelle. I LOVE what you did with the ribbon on the inside of the card.

I'm working today too; YUCK!

And, I received your thank you card on Saturday; THANK YOU!!! I was drooling over the card when you posted it on my blog and I'm so excited to have it in my hot little hands.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hey great job on the weightloss! I'm so proud of you!

Sorry you have to work today that sucks.

Glad to see your getting the hand at sewing on your cards. They are cute.

And I'm weird I like Mondays because the kids are back in school and Jordan is back to work.
