My Dad’s pet name for me was “skinny-bones, Jones” I have overcome the skinny part…….

I HATE to drive in traffic, will take the long way around most of the time!

I am fascinated by HTML…….weird, I know!

I don’t like to have my picture taken.

I have an Associate’s Degree in Biblical Studies/Ministry

I make REALLY good Chicken and Dumplings! Want some?

Sometimes I just can’t see outside the box….

I can play the piano, just not well…….

I have never had a traffic ticket.

I have never broken any bones.

Dustin Pike Elephant Valentine

Happy day to everyone! I hope you are looking forward to a great weekend! I know I am, I will be spending some stamping time with my sister, Terri on Sunday-can't wait. We have such a fun time together! I am working on Valentine's Day cards for my grandkids + one, so you will be seeing alot of kiddie type cuties in the next several days! Today my card has a digi from Dustin Pike. If you are not familiar with his work, you need to take the time to check him out. He does outrageously funny cartoon like images. A visit to his blog will just make you smile, the above link is for his store, you can get to his blog from there.

Isn't this elephant a cutie? I colored him with my Koh-i-nor pencils and blended with OMS. Card stock is from Stampin'Up, DP from DCWV and ribbon is Offray. The side panel was run thru my Cuttlebug, using the Divine Swirls Embossing Folder. I can't decide if I should send this card to Alyah in England or my + one, Madison in Alabama....what do you think?
Thanks so much for looking in today! Blessings!

Alien Sid Loves YOU!!

Good morning! Hope today finds everyone happy and warm. My card today features another image from Janie, over at GTC's Crafty Corner. Her digi images are just the cutest! Today I used Alien Sid, he is one in a group of alien buddies that Janie has. I just love them all! I plan to use them for grandkid cards, both boy and girl.

Thanks for stopping by today. Blessings!

Sad and Sweet, C4C19 Challenge

It was a tough day here yesterday, (in the morning, anyway) We said goodbye to our youngest son and family. Jim is in the Air Force and they will be stationed in England for at least the next four years. I'm probably in big trouble from my daughter-in-law for posting this picture. They hadn't been getting much sleep and there were alot of tears, so this isn't the best picture I have of her. She is a beautiful girl, and what a handsome man that son of mine is, don't you think? Of course, those grandkids aren't lacking in the cute department either. I'm sure going to miss them all. Hoping to save for a trip over there!

Okay-on to the sweet.......I had made and posted a card for another granddaughters birthday a few weeks ago, but then I came across this dig stamp from Janie at GTC's Crafty Corner. Check out her blog, she has many digi stamps that she generously gives. They are of the cute and cuddly variety, I just love them!
Joelle just LOVES ponies and purple, and bling, so this card just has her name written all over it. I will be entering it in the Birthday Challenge over at the Crazy 4 Challenge blog.

Recipe: Cardstock-DCWV, Stampin' Up! Pattern Paper-DCWV, Image-GTC Crafty Corner, Koh-i-nor Pencils, OMS, Flower Punch-SU, Marvy, Glitter Paper-American Crafts,Rhinestone-Joann's, Glitter pen- (there is a bit of glitter on the tail and mane, don't know if you can see it in the pic)

I hope you enjoy this card, I sure had fun making it for Joelle. She will be 7 on Thursday.
Thanks for stopping in today! God Bless!

Oh, Happy Day! Hoping everyone is warm and well today. My card is a bit springy, so maybe that will warm you up. The inspiration came from Olga and my sis Patti a few weeks ago. If you visit them you will see where there inspiration came from.......:0)
