Hi there! :)   I just wanted to do a real quick post to show you. . . 1) a couple of Thank You cards I made today & 2) to let you know that I will be taking a few days off from posting here on the blog.

Here are the Thank you's I whipped up:

CS:  Stampin' Up

Punches and Dies:  Martha Stewart (butterflies), Fiskars (threading water), My Favorite Things (label)

Stamp & Cork:  My Favorite Things

Ink:  Ranger Distress Ink

Pearls:  Kaisercraft

(These are more masculine because they are for my oldest son to give out)  :)

Recipe:

CS:  Stampin' Up!

Ink:  StazOn

All of the cards were made for some very special people that we owe BIG Thank You's to.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives that so often do kind things for us. 

Second, I'm gonna be taking a few days off from the blog world.  It's the 5th Anniversay of the passing of our Sweet Baby Chase (this Friday). . .With that said, I've been super-emotional.  I think that I just need to take some time away and allow myself to grieve for him. *But I'll be back. . .promise! :)

Here are a few pics I'd like to share:
