Hello friends!!
So sorry to have been absent from this space for so long but...
we had an issue with our internet service that turned into a nightmare and a blessing all at the same time.
It is all fixed now but man was I having serious withdrawls.
I had to like....pay my bills with a check and stuff!?!!!
The blessing part was that without it I actually organized my entire house.
Out with the old...in with the summer clothes...sweeping...and mopping...and putting new (and hopefully more suited to our growing children) organizational systems into place for the family.
Feels great to have this place all ready for summer fun.
As we all know summer is fleeting and I don't want to waste one little drop of sunshine on cleaning.
Hoping this new system helps our house to run like a well-oiled machine.
Hey a Mom can dream right?
Anyway....the whole no internet thing was also good in that it forced me to sit and create instead of just look at all of my friends pretty creations on Pinterest:)
I've got a few cards to share with you today....
Supplies used: Patterned Paper- Prima Ruby Violet/ Tapes- Bella Blvd, Smash, & Love my Tapes/ Flower- Prima Ruby Violet/ Twine- Etsy/ Letters- My Little Shoebox/ Bling- Queen & Co.
Supplies used: Patterned Papers- Dear Lizzy Neopolitan/ Embellishments- Pink Paislee, Prima Ruby Violet/ My Minds Eye, Memory Makers & Pebbles Inc. / Twine- Etsy/ Letter Stickers- October Afternoon and Doodlebug Designs (you)/ Other- Crystal- Walmart
It's that crazy busy time of year were we need a bunch of Thank You cards for teachers, coaches, the nice neighbor lady who brought us cookies the other day etc...
So over the last few days I have spent some time creating a nice little pile to grab from.
I will share some more in the next couple of days.
Thank you for visiting today...
emailing to ask where I am...
and for being patient until I came back:)
You are the bestest bloggy friends a girl could ask for.
Happy Wednesday!!

It's funny how those internet issues are both negative and positive.....I've found the same thing to be true. It's like panic hits at first and you feel totally disconnected...but after a few days, I start to enjoy it. :)
It's awesome that you are all ready for summer. I've been playing with some summer decorating this morning, and it's really putting me in the mood.
LOVE your cards!

Good to see you back Mel. I always hate how dependant I am in the internet too.
Love these cards and I hope you have a wonderful Summer with your children.
