From my neices layout

I never posted these close ups, I totally forgot :( This was a chip board heart that I painted with gold acrylic dabber (I like the dabbers as they add textrure) Then sprinkled on some chunky glitter. The flower was a white Prima flower that glimmer misted then added some chunky glitter to as well. The leaves are glimmer misted with irridicent gold.

More Pics and the bracelet my sis got me

This is the bracelet that my oldest sister Carol got for me. (she lives on Cape Cod) She bought it as a thank you gift for making a wedding scrapbook for my oldest nephew's 5th anniversary. (Tim is my sister's oldest son). What is so special about this is that my sister has one too so we match : ), my oldest sis is very near and dear to my heart. She also got me this mushy card and of course it made me cry

Here is a pic of my friend from high school Jayme (also my brother's wife's youngest sister) her oldest boys (twins) and Elias

My crazy family again lol

My neice's baby Maggie and her Great Aunt Sherry, gosh I love that lil girl!!

Family and Old Friends

Here is my nephew Jon who graduated and his mom and dad (my brother Terry)

I had a great weekend and I hope everyone out there had a safe and happy 4th of July weekend! I have so much to share, I'm uploading pics as we speak : ). Saturday was my nephew Jon's graduation party. He is just one year older than Elias and he and Elias were close growing up, my brother used to come over to the house with him a lot when I still lived at home with Elias and he and Elias would play together. I took care of the both of them A LOT! Ironically my brother married a girl who's younger sister I went to school with and was good friends with, she moved to NC for awhile after high school but is back now and it was so great to see her again. I had a wonderful time catching up with my 2 sisters, especially my oldest sister who I'm very close with. And I of course got some baby holding time as my niece was there with her baby : ).

Jennifer McGuire & Cards for Kids

Some of you may follow Jennifer McGuire's Blog, she stamps for Hero Arts and is amazing. Well she does these card drives for Kids that are ill and here she is doing a card drive for a little girl named Grace who had a twin named Ellie who just lost her battle with cancer. Any of us who have twins in our families know just how close the bond between these children are, it goes way beyond sisters or brothers and much deeper than we can even imagine. Even though they are individuals they are like 2 people in one sometimes. I have twin nephews that I am close with and I have witnessed this bond that is unbreakable. So if you have just a free minute or maybe you have cards pre-made, it would be so wonderful if you could send a card for Grace. Click on the link for the details.
