Hi, Today's pictures are birthday goodies I received from friends, way back in March. I love all three and ladies I'm sorry I'm just now getting around to posting them!
Gigi sent me the card on the top...the Pun Fun stamp set will always be one of my favorites and I love birds. (I really hope the new catalog has some stamp sets similiar to Pun Fun, I love coloring!)
Darlene sent the next card & she knows I was so crazy for the Crazy for Cupcake stamp set that I centered a class around it last fall.
Last but certainly not least....the darling Basket & Blooms Felt Bag is from Maria. I love it and I can't wait to make one too! I'm still shocked that we can use felt, fabric & everything under the sun with the Big Shot :)
Thanks for stopping by!
p.s. Life keeps throwing me curve balls!! I believe what doesn't kill us makes us stronger...but can I just say... I need a break? I'll share a few details.....our washing machine broke last night and it's less than 2 years old....no warranty (after the first year) and of course my hubby is out of town (he's always out of town when we have emergencies) and I was behind on laundry. (trust me..... you don't want to know the rest of the details!)

I feel for you. Hate when appliances, electronic gizmos, cars, anything doesn't work the way it's supposed to....
Really hope tomorrow is a much better day for you!

I understand the sometimes I just need a break. Sometimes I could even use 2 breaks!! Then, something happens and I realize that I'm not that bad off and life is really ok. But, if you're talking laundry back-ups...Hope tomorrow is brighter for you. MJ

The felt basket is just so cute!
My dryer died on me, too, a few weeks ago. I'm not all that handy with appliances, so I called my Dad to ask, "Is there anything really obvious I should check for before calling the Maintenance guy and looking like a fool?" My Dad thought the heat element was broken and that I would indeed need a repairman.
The guy got to my place, asked if I had looked at the fuses before I called, to which I said with a puzzled look, "Uh... no? The dryer is still working, it is just not drying the clothes."
I learned that there is two fuses for your dryer, one for power and one for the heat element. It was indeed the fuse.
The guy was really nice and agreed not to charge for the call. It ended up costing me $1.78 instead of $70 plus parts!
Then, there's the latch on the hood of my car that broke. I was lucky enough that the safety latch held on and that the hood didn't go up while I was driving!!! I still had to go see a mechanic, though.
Anyway, long story just to say I hope everything gets better soon for you and that the silver lining of everything being dumped on you at once is that once it's over, you're home free for another long while!
Hang in there!
Cindy :)
