How fast is summer passing you by??

Good morning everyone! 
I have been a little MIA here lately. Life has been hectic. Summer is almost over and while I have not posted anything the whole summer, I have definitely been busy! My younger two boys have summer birthdays and the oldest is out of school for the summer.  My days start out just about when the sun comes up and do not stop until about 11:30 pm. The boys are having so much playing together. That means lots of laughter and giggles... along with plenty of fighting and crying. I have a ton of pictures to get posted on here to show you all what we have worked on the past few months. In the mean time, you can check out my new Facebook page where I post pictures of my work.  If you have any questions on how I made something, please feel free to ask.

Military Themed Birthday Card

If you follow me over on my other blog, you already know that I started selling Thirty-One Gifts in August of 2013. My National Executive Director (Libby) sent a special request out on our Facebook group asking if everyone could take a minute to send her brother a birthday card or a "thank you" card. It is a big year for her brother.... he was turning 50 and planning to retire from the Air Force. She had quite a large response from our group of girls on the Facebook group. Growing up with a mother in the Air Force, I know how difficult it is to find a military themed card. I decided a handmade one would be best. This is a pretty simple card and I love how it turned out!! Libby said that her brother received tons of cards and letter and he was so surprised! Out of all of the cards that he received, mine was one of the only personally handmade cards and by far the best! I take that as a HUGE compliment!! I am so glad that I was able to put a smile on his face, and brighten his day a little more!
