Great News

New Challenge and Release

What a week its been since I posted last.  This weekend was my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and it was wonderful. 

My sisters all made it back home also and the last time we have ALL been together was for my parents 40th anniversary that we celebrated in Nebraska.  I had my husband make us all shirts, because we all have this running joke because we all swear we are Mom's favorite.

And this is a picture with my whole family (on the right) with my sisters and the little ones are my little brother 3 kids.  He was not able to make it because he is in Afghanistan. 

So the the last of the family left today and I have to say it was so nice to be together. 

Now-on the what I am suppose to be doing, my DT post for Paper Pretties, and a cute new release image also.

And just to give you a great reason to come and play, the challenge theme this week is Colored Pencils. (this was MUCH harder than I thought it would be)

Challenges:
Fresh Brewed-flowers
Simon Says Stamp-things with wings
Sisterhood of Crafters-april showers bring Mya flowers
