You are Sew Sweet!


I made this card for my mom. She's always been extremely crafty and encouraged my sister and I to be creative. She would ask us to help her sew or make various crafts as Christmas presents for family while growing up. Crafting and making something was a staple in our house. My mom loves to sew and she also loves stamping & card making. I thought this digi stamp was a perfect fit to send her a little note to let her know I miss her.

I used a Digi Stamp called Sewing Cat by one of my new favorite Digi Stamp Artists, Heidi Arrowood. I love her simple designs that just scream... CUTE!!! If you haven't seen her work, she has the cutest Digi Stamp shop on etsy called 2 Cute Ink.  You can also check out the 2 Cute Ink Challenge Blog Here.

Just like old friends...





One thing that my husband frequently tells me that he admires about me is the fact that I know how to choose good quality friends. He finds it a special quality when two friends can be apart a day, a month or over a decade and when they get back together, neither one of us skips a beat and it’s just like old times. I take pride in choosing new friends, and I think I just naturally gravitate towards good people with the same values in life. Friendship is like a tree. it can take time to nurture , so it can grow become strong.

Elizabeth is one of my old friends that came to visit this weekend. She had been contemplating on possibly moving to Houston and wanted to visit to see if she would like it here. I thought it would be a great way to catch up, have some fun and show her as much of Houston that we could fit into the weekend she’ll be here.

The moment I saw her, sure enough it was just like old times. We had a blast together and I’m hoping she got to see enough to come back for another visit later this year or next year.
