Lots of Projects!

Whew! I've been busy this last week!! Here's what I mean...

I needed to make another "reminder sign" for our kids bathroom. This one seems like it should be an easy one to remember - right? Sigh...

I used SCAL and my oracle vinyl to complete this one. If you want the scut file - please leave me a message and I'll send it to you.

My dear friend asked for my help to get the invitations out and ready for our ward Relief Society "Provident Living Party". We used files from "A Child's Year" cartridge to put these together. They turned out really cute - the pictures don't do them justice. We cut out and tied almost 50 of these last Saturday night and managed to pass them all out on Sunday morning! Whew!

Tuesday morning, I got the sad news that my friend's brother passed away this last weekend. I can't remember a time when I didn't know him - I mean we were all very small kids together. So I needed three cards for this one and I used these great card files that I found on the very talented Penny Duncan's blog. I embossed, glued and glittered each of them, and added the phrase "with sympathy" from the Wild Card Cartridge.

One for his wife...






These ones from Wanda's Cards and Crafts.

One for my friend...

and one for his parents...

This is such a tragedy and their family is hurting so much! I hope that they can feel how much I care for them with these cards.

Lastly, my mother called this morning to tell me that her coworker/friend lost her grand baby to SIDS this morning. I wasn't sure if the baby was a boy or a girl - so I decided to make two cards to cover all the bases.

This is the pink one...

... and this is the blue one.

I got both these designs from another talented and generous person... who's name eludes me at the moment! Sorry! If any of you know who created these beautiful gate cards - could you please help me identify them here?

Update! Found her! You can find these cards on Monica's site here.

While I love making these cards - I'm hoping that it is for the sympathy cards for awhile.

My Girl is 21!

I can't believe it! My girl is 21 years old! I never would have believed that time would go by so fast... We didn't do much for her day, as she had plans with friends, but we did get to see her for a little bit to blow out her candles. I made her a word book with some pictures of birthday's past, as well, and she loved it! :) If you would like a copy of this file, please email me directly at fifthavenuegirl@shaw.ca.

After we had done with the birthday party, I raced over to the church to help out with our ward Relief Society service project. We had a pajama party (although only 2 of us showed up in pajamas!) and we made pajama pants to be donated to the Sheriff King Home here in Calgary. As it turned out, this was a huge project! We will have to have another night to finish what we started! But here are some pics of everyone working away at pinning, cutting and serging... Love these girls!!
There were those present who said they didn't know what to do - but they came to help anyway, and I loved that about those girls. I've included President Uchdorf's message here, because those wonderful ladies inspired me.
