Pink Paislee, American Crafts, Cut Card Stock.com and A Kiss on the Chic

What a crazy few days. My dear sweet daughter decided to shove a pop corn kernel up her nose on Wednesday. Yup you heard me right ! The crazy thing about it is it happened so fast and while she sat on Damien's lap. I was actually laying down on the couch and we were watching a show when I heard a blood curdling scream. I hear Damien say....oh my goodness she just shoved a pop corn kernel up her nose. From there we rushed to the ER. That alone was a nightmare. Isabella and I were there for 4 hours and they were not able to remove the kernel. They tried all kinds of tweezers and suction tubes but she had managed to stick it so high up in her nose that they were worried to do damage. So they recommended a Nose Surgeon. UUUggghhh just when you think it couldn't get any worse. I head over to the CVS pharmacy. I was there over 3 hours. The antibiotics that the DR. really wanted her to be on was no where to be found in NW Indiana. I guess the Bactria in her nose needed a certain percentage of different antibiotics and they could not nail it down. So after 4 Dr. consults and Pharmacist who could not apologize any more then he all ready had, I was finally on my way home. Oh did I forget to mention CVS gave me a $50 gift card for all my trouble. Yesterday we saw the Nose Surgeon and they removed a pop corn kernel the size of a huge round cheerio. It was indeed STINKIN huge. Thank God that she is well and the foreign object has been removed !!!!!! Here is a picture of Isabella Easter morning looking so sweet but please do not be fooled.

I had a wonderful Mothers Day this year. It was very low key and we grilled and it was very nice.
Damien's step sister brought her little girl over a few weeks ago and I took some darling pics of her. Here are a few:


I than created a brag book for her as a special Mothers Day gift sing Pink Paislee, Basic Grey and by new Bind It All toy. Here are a few pics of it:


I was super excited when I got home last nite from teaching a card class. I received an email for more published work. This time its for Paper Trends Handmade book. How exciting !
What's really exciting is what's going on with A Kiss on the Chic.com
Oh my goodness ....Laura's kits are becoming so hot and everyone wants one. How crazy is this that her kits sold quicker than we even had a chance to show them off. That's right I said SOLD OUT. Well here is a few things I did with the May Kit:



Something I gotta tell you about Laura's kits are that she really works hard at adding unique and special touches to her kits. I of course could not resist making a bracelet with the Maya Road Chicky charms that came in the kits:

Now remember to be ready to jump on June's kits because they will sell like hot cakes. She has 2 very special kits prepared for June. One is a Love theme which I will be working on and the other is a FAB 4th of July project kit.

I also made some very simple cards for Embellish-It using some of the American Crafts products that Barb sent me. The store is packed with these fantastic goodies and believe me they are bright and so FUN to work with ! Make sure to swing by and see what she has. Here is what I created with some American Crafts:

last but not least. Here is a card I made using cardstock from Cut Card Stock.com as the base for my card. I used the Mangue Yellow in the Malmero Perle' line. You can't see it in the picture but this cardstock has such a BEAUTIFUL shimmer/sparkle to it.
