My Saturday was busy from start to finish, but I'll tell you what - I got things done and I enjoyed myself; life is good. Woke up bright and early to head down to JC Penney and got half off the lowest marked clearance price - got the kids school clothes for the fall for only $140 - gotta love that! Went to Target after - for no good reason - they were clearancing all their cardmaking/scrapbooking stuff; got some more glitter DP and some great white sparkly paper flowers that I've never used before. Then it was on to Valentines - ugh.... "And can I just tell you" how sick of pink and red and hearts I am now? {that was my Sandra Lee impression in case you missed it - heh} Put together D's for his 1st grade class - remember I made the cards forever ago, but we finally got the class list and put them together. Then I did the Valentines for K's church class tomorrow and D's on Tuesday. I still have to do K's preschool ones. Oh - and D's class list had the kids, the teacher and like 6 other people?! The librarian...the music teacher...the PE teacher....the principal..and 2 other helper people....and then he wrote on there Miss Sue - the lady in the office. Fortunately I had lots of red boxes of chocolates bought at Target's after Christmas clearance sale - heh. Took dinner to my invalid friend again....then watched THE RACE. That's right - NASCAR, baby!! Last night was the Bud Shootout and I'll tell you what - seeing Casey in his new firesuit and his new car - the 07 Jack Daniel's car - was THE BEST!! And then seeing him get caught up in a couple of wrecks...was just like old times....>sigh<
This is what D is giving out for his class Valentines. I stamped glassine bags from Papertrey Ink, had D fill in the To/From, filled the bag with the little PTI card I made - and he signed his name in each one - put a Fun Dip and a Laffy Taffy behind the card and then tied some American Craft ribbon on the top. Man I used to love Fun Dip - didn't you??
Last night my mother e-mailed to tell me that an old friend from high school died. Motorcycle crash - sad. Big Italian, Catholic family - very popular in our county - his older brother was probably the longest crush I ever had growing up; he was the high school quarterback after all. I haven't seen or thought about that family in ages.
Whew! - what a day, I told you!!

I made a couple of cards yesterday too - one that I can not show you just yet. But this was for Nichole's Papertrey challenge. They're having a bunch of contests right now for their 2-year anniversary...and the sneak peeks and announcements of things to come have been INCREDIBLE. I cannot wait 'til the 15th to place my order!! Just last night they announced coordinating BUTTONS to go with their ribbons. I LOVE BUTTONS and thought I had the best....but custom coordinated to my PTI stuff? I've died and gone to Foofala button Heaven.

I haven't seen or thought about that family in ages. Just another reminder about how fragile and incredibly unpredictable life can be. The decisions we make today, the words that we use, the way we treat people - would we regret anything if suddenly someone was gone from this earth...; food for thought.
Have a wonderful Sunday, Girls.

Those Valentines are super cute!
Funny, we went to Target yesterday too and went through the clearance card making/scrapbooking section. :)
Sorry to hear about the accident. It's so sad when stuff like that happens to anyone but especially sad when you knew the person. :(
Hey Michelle!
Those Valentines are cute! The kids will love them.
Sorry to hear about everything that went on this past week.
I went to Target on Thursday but all I bought was a raincoat and some medicine lol.
Life is too short and to precious.
Sorry to hear about that accident. Every so often I hear similar things from those I knew in High School. It always is so sad.
I soooo was going to do the Papertrey button challenge too, however my hubby and our friends dragged me to Dave and Busters restaurant/arcade for the night, so needless to say, I didn't get it done.
Keep up the cuteness!- Valentine's day stuff and challenge cards.
Great Valentines! So glad to hear your Sat. was great after such a bad week. Sad news about that guy, though. Hope your Sun. is terrific, too.
