I love making cards!!!

These are some cards I made at a friends pre-buy class! I came home with that CUUUTE cupcake punch and these 4 cards!!
I came down to my stamp room to tidy it up, which I did, yay me, and made these two cards.
This one, I've been trying to use more pattern paper on 1 single card, not so good at it, it turned out ok.
This one I used my silhouette cutting machine and have been wanting to make a 9 x 4 card for a long time. I like how this turned out a lot!!

And this is for my daughters friends 8th birthday that she made, and I helped a little!! So cute!!

What's going on? What's going on?

Lots! I've sat here a few times over the past 2 weeks, with different ideas to blog about, but just never get the guts to type it up and then put it out there. Some of the topics were blah days, children misbehaving, laziness, wanting a maid and of course the weather. But I seem to always talk about the weather.

My hubby was on call for his job this past week, and it was his second time doing it since he started there last March. I am so thankful, for 1, that he has a job, 2 that he has this opportunity to bring in some extra income so that I don't have to go out and get a job, which is another 'hot' topic I've been contemplating. But boy, this being on call thing is stressing him out. It is sooo different that his previous employment, here is he dealing with emergencies, real LIFE emergencies. Before he was dealing with minor things, like non LIFE threatening things. His stress is well managed, but I can see it in his body, in his eyes. But, being a former cheerleader, not, I am good at cheering him up and being a glass half full person for him, who I think sometimes is a glass half empty person. That is my job after all!

Spring CAN'T come soon enough, speaking of the weather!! Wow, we've had some AWFUL days. The next few days, however, are going to spoil us a little. As long as the wind doesn't ruin it all!!

I have a quick recipe to share with you. I've been on the hunt for good homemade salad dressings, and I've tried a few, but haven't found one that I've liked, until Tuesday!! Here it is:

1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2-3/4 tsp dried mustard
1/2-3/4 tsp sugar
1-2 cloves of crushed garlic
1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
6-8 tbsp olive oil

stir or shake it up and use as much or as little as you want and store the rest in the fridge!! So easy and simple (although my mom said "You have those ingredients in your house?") Super Delish!! ENJOY!

Lots of things to look forward to over the next few months!!
