Love you to the stars and back

Happy Monday!  
It's back to work for me. 
I feel a ton better than I did last week but still not 100%.  
I feel well enough to go to work and at this point that's all I can ask for.  LOL!  

So today is Ashley's last post with our team.  
It has been a wonderful 6 months with her on the team.  
We hope you have enjoyed her projects.

Alright well I hope you have a great day!!

May Kit reveal!!!

Sorry the reveal is a little late.

I just can't seem to kick this flu bug. 
Came home from work on Monday and sat on the couch to relax and it just hit me.  The aches, pain, fever....my throat started to hurt.  

I tried to go to work Tuesday but only lasted two hours.  

I came home and was in bed the rest of the day. 

I was supposed to work on Wednesday but I switched my day off so I had off Wednesday and spent most of it in bed.  

Had to get a new vehicle and being out of the house for about five hours was stretching it.  BUT I had to go to work Thursday.

Went to work Thursday and was miserable. 

I got no sleep last night and then had to work today.  

I was supposed to work until 4:30, but I arranged that I could leave at 1:30.  

I came home and took a super hot bath, got in my pj's and hopped in to bed.  

Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow.  

I really need to just have a couple days of rest.  This is just silly.  

I am hoping to get some rest of Sunday.  

So anywho, let's get to it.  

Here's what you have all been waiting for.

Guest Designer, Janice

Good Morning!! 

 What a crazy week. 

Monday night I came down with the flu.  I tried to suck it up and go to work because we have been short handed but I didn't make it 2 hours before I needed to go home.  I went home Tuesday morning and had been in bed since.  

Well I guess it was only a day and a half because last night we had to go buy a new truck.

The transmission was slipping on our old one and it didn't seem right to fix it instead of just getting something new.  Our old truck was a 2002.  We have friends that have connections at a dealership so we felt we got a pretty sweet deal.  

I will share my new ride tomorrow.  We are super excited about it.  

I feel well enough to go to work today so off I go.  With all the craziness this week there is going to be a little delay on the kit reveal. 

I would like to share our last post from our Delightful Designer today. 

It has been a please and great inspiration to have Janice with us this month.  

I hope she has inspired you.  

JANICE

That's it for today. 

I will be announcing the sketch challenge winner soon as well.  :-)

Have a wonderful day!!

Come fly away with me

Good Morning and TGIF!!
Fridays never look so good until I work M-F.  I know many of you do that every week but I usually have a day off during the week and then work Saturday and I prefer that.
I feel like I don't get to see my kids or getting anything done around the house.  Ugh!!

BUT it's Friday and I have the weekend off.
Tonight is my daughter's prom. 
Tomorrow she volunteer at a school carnival and Sunday we are going to dinner for Tony and Nicki's birthday that are next week. 
I might actually make it in to my craft room this weekend. 

Alright well take a look at today's cards!!!  WOW amazing!!

Happy Tax Day!!
LOL!!  
Do you wait until the last minute to file your taxes or do you get it done as soon as you get your paperwork?  
My taxes have been filed since like January 6.  LOL!! 
We used most of what we got from our return for our house.  

So it's Monday and that means back to work.  Yesterday I had the day off and the pleasure of going prom shopping with Nicki.  She doesn't have a date, just going with some friends. 

I can't believe how grown up she is.  Her bday is next week which means she is legal age to work.  Oh my!!  

Alright let's get to the inspiration.  
Today's LO was created by our Delightful Designer Ashley!

April Guest Designer, Janice!

Good Morning!
Debbie sneaking in here today to introduce you to our
April Guest Designer Janice Daquila-Pardo.  Janice was the winner of our March sketch challenge.

 
Here is a little bit about Janice.

Hi there! I am Janice Daquila-Pardo, or The Constant Scrapper in the blogging world. I’m so happy to be guest designing for Artful Delight this month and look forward to using this beautiful kit right away!

I have lived in hip, happening Austin, Texas, since 2001. My husband, Matt, and I have been married for 15 years, and I’m quite aware of how lucky I am to have landed the husband/bestie combo deal. We work together in our IT business, volunteer in animal rescue and at our church and encourage each other in our hobbies/obsessions (Matt’s is running and obstacle racing, the topic of a number of my layouts).

I started playing with scrapbook supplies in 2004, but I have become an earnest scrapbook artist in the last five years. My style continues to evolve, but what I know about my designs is that:

·         I like to scrap vintage photos just as much as current-day images.

·         The story’s the thing. If there isn’t a story to tell, there isn’t much point for me in making the page.

·         I love patterned paper (too much).

·         On most of my pages I use files cut on my Silhouette (I use purchased cut files as well as design my own).

·         I am a scrapbook sketch addict. They provide a wonderful way of organizing my thoughts for the page I want to create and allow me to focus on photo and product choices. I love to use others’ sketches as well as design my own. 

Janice chose to work with the April Scrapbook kit and created this beautiful layout using our April sketch:

Janice will be back next week to share another layout she created with our April Scrapbook kit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Good Morning and Happy Monday!
Ugh, back to work for me.  It was a really nice week with the exception of my kids being sick.  
My daughter got the flu late Friday afternoon.  We slept in the living room and I swear she was up every thirty minutes getting sick.  I felt so bad for her.  As of this morning other than to go potty she hasn't really gotten off the couch.  
Then late Saturday afternoon my son got sick with the flu.  He woke from his nap and was just cranky and uncomfortable.  We all slept in the living room.  Me on one couch, my daughter on another and we brought my son's mattress out for him to sleep on.  All day Sunday other than to potty my kids didn't get up.  Slept on and off all weekend.  
So needless to say the last 3 days of my vacation have been tiring.  I think the most I slept was 2 hours at a time.  And now back to work for me.  :-(  

I just hope my kids get better soon.  

Ok, so everyone should have been contacted who applied for the new DT.  We will make the official announcement on Wednesday.  :-)    

Now for some inspiration from our current team member Ashley.  Ashley used our April scrapbook kit.  :-)

Fabulous LO!!

Alright, well I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!!  

Hello

Good Morning my friends!
  WOW, what a rough night.  
This has been a really bad flu year.  My kids have been hit with it twice since the beginning of the year.  
The first time they just had really bad fevers and got ear infections and such but this time they are just bad.  
My son has just been out of it all week.  Loss of appetite and complaining his belly hurt.  My daughter has literally been up all night throwing up.  I am pretty sure I was up every 30 minutes with her. 
One of the last times she was getting sick she said "I just want it to stop." 
Break my heart.  I hate seeing my kids in pain.   
I am supposed to go back to work on Monday so I am crossing my fingers that I don't get sick.
We actually had a busy weekend ahead  of us but I don't think we will be doing any of it.  
My son had a birthday party today and my oldest needs to be taken to a birthday party tonight.  Then tomorrow we were supposed to go prom dress shopping.  :-(  

Anywho, what are your plans this weekend?  Do they include crafting?  If so be sure to play along with our sketch challenge.  We have two sketches to play along with.  
        
Today's card was created by our Delightful Designer, Sherry.  She used our April card kit and our April card sketch.
