these boots: Fusion Challenge!
I love these little Polka Dot Boots.
 
Little True Story. 
So when I met my husband, we fell for each other when it came time to register for dishes,
I looked around and my kitchen was totally white. 
I decided that now I found my WONDERFUL someone,
I needed to "live a little"
Change is sometimes good!
And so ..
we registered for Red with White Polka Dot Dishes!
 
Anywhoo.

PEACE for CAS-ual Fridays: Another Red White and Blue!
 
I had been meaning to "test" the Tim Holz Dies that I got a great deal on,
would they work in my big shot?
 
Yes, they did, I had to place another embossing folder atop them,
 and use only the spacer pages, not the base. 
It worked!
 
Happy Memorial Day!

I do apologize for not being so chatty, I work full time, have an active 11 year old
 (wow not used to typing 11, he just had his birthday Monday),
and he has ADHD, and a slight learning disability when it comes to memory and recall for writing. 
Long story short, it takes him roughly 5 times longer to complete his homework and with my help to write sentences recalled from reading a few pages.
So I work with him as much as I can.
I also have a husband that works the longest hours on the planet
(the video game industry)
that when he is home, I try to drop everything and spend time with him.
Oh, and my boy has Karate twice a week and all afternoon Saturdays.
I love it, don't get me wrong, but when I get a few hours to get a few cards in, I can't stop.
I also have my mom in a mother in law basement apartment
 in our house that I take care of as well.
Anyways, time is limited,
but your comments mean the world to me, so I will try to add more "life" into my posts.
(SMILES)
