Avery's First Birthday Card

I stamped this Penny Black image at a past Cal-gals meeting (I think it's Merlie's stamp...probably...that girl owns everything!). I struggled to make just the right card for Avery (this is the third iteration and the one I am actually happy with!).


Snap Cup of the Day: Thankful for my bro today. He called me after his visit today to see if my water softener was working as it should. Although I still don't know the answer (duh!), it was sweet of him to look out for me!

    Santa Mini Pizza Box

    This is a mini pizza box that I made for Paula's prezzie (gift cards inside). (Note: See Teri's tut if you're interested.) I just had to use Santa again since she's my Tim Holtz-y crafty pal! (Even if this stamp is from Inkadinkado!) One of the best things about this stamp is how you can use just a part of it for a whole other take on the image...loves that!


    Snap Cup of the Day: Grateful for my pal Paula. We "dump the garbage pail" on each other again and again (mostly me though) and still find plenty to talk and kvetch about anyway! (P.S. Found these videos on male-female dynamics [actually as a link through Alanis Morrisette's site]...interesting and fun speaker!)

    Antoinette for C

    This is the Christmas card I made for C...full of pink, glitter and girliness just like my C!

    BTW, I thought I would change up my blog for the coming new year. Instead of a positive note of the day, I thought I would express moments of gratitude through my "Snap Cup of the Day" (remember this from Legally Blonde 2?).

    Allison's Snap Cup of the Day: Grateful for the continuing good health of my Ave today. Happened upon some blogs today of kids with other health conditions which sometimes just gets me downright weepy. I swear the Allison of twenty years ago would not even recognize me now!
