ALL DAY CROP/GARAGE SALE fundraiser to benefit "Lisa's Journey"

  Hello Friends,
Was hoping to get this out sooner....

Would like to let everyone know that  my children's school will be hosting a garage sale this Saturday, May 22nd.  If you would like to donate anything or browse around please contact me or feel free to pass by the school located at SW 124th Avenue and 104th Street in Kendall.  All proceeds will be going to benefit Lisa Gil.

Lisa is a teacher at the school and was recently diagnosed with Leukemia.  At only 24 years old and recently married she has her whole life ahead of her.  She is a beautiful  and caring person.  Lisa has touched so many lives.   I don't know what I would of done without her forM's first year of school.

There will also be an ALL Day crop hosted by one of the teachers. It's $30 and includes lunch and dinner.  There will be tons of raffles and prizes.  I will be participating in this crop so I hope to be creating some stuff to share with you.  If you would like to participate please let me know.  All proceeds will also be going to Lisa.

More Letters

Hello Everyone!! Hope you are all having a nice week.  I've been a little busy these days. Been working on a Baby Shower book for someone.  Can't wait to get it done and show you some pics.  Its adorable.  In the meantime, here are a couple of other letters I made for my other son's teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week.  Enjoy!!

I can't get enough of these butterflies.  Used my Cricut - Gypsy Wanderings cartridge and embossed it with my Cuttlebug then added a little bit of Stickles to give it some bling.  The paper is from gcd studios-Chanti Collection.  I chalked all around it then stamped the swirls all over it.  The flower is from my flower stash.  Added a tiny bit of Martha Stewart white rik rak ribbon.  The tag is from a box of 100 that I bought at staples.  I chalked around it and stamped the sentiment using My Pinker Stamper stamp set.

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY card

Just a note to wish everyone a very Happy Mother's Day.  Made these two cards this morning for my mom and my mom in law.  I'm loving these butterflies.  Paper is from We R Memory Keepers.  Butterflies are from "Gypsy Wanderings" and "Gypsy Font" cartridge.  

Teacher Appreciation

Hello!  Wanted to share a couple of gifts I made for two of my son's teachers.  Teacher Appreciation Week was actually last week and I got a little side-tracked and couldn't finish them.  I love these two ladies.  They are wonderful with my son and he's learned a great deal them.  To all the teacher's out there:  HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!!

I picked up these letters at Michaels.  All other materials I already had.  Paper used is from We R Memory Keepers.  I sanded all around the edge of each letter then chalked around it with chestnut brown.  The flower is made out of grunge paper.  Grunge paper looks kind of like chipboard except it's much more pliable.  I used my "fake" glimmer mist to add color to them.  Used the copper "real" glimmer mist and distressed the edges with Ranger Vintage Photo.  Also used stickles around some of the petals and on the butterflies to give them some bling.  The butterflies are from the "Gypsy Wanderings" cartridge.  Birds are from the "Home Accents" cartridge.  Ribbon is from my stash and I used twine to tie the tags.
