Last Dance, Last Chance…

…for love!  I’m dating myself quoting a Donna Summer disco song but yes, I danced to that back in the day!!!  I was definitely a disco diva!!!
 
04-27 last danceBut when I saw this beautiful couple dancing that’s the song that came to mind.  It was rolling around in my head the whole time I was making this card!

One Petunia, Two Petunia, Three Petunia, Four

That’s the way it goes in my garden anyway!!!  I plant so many petunias each year.  I have lots and lots of pots full of flowers around my garden and petunias are one of my favorite flowers to put in them.  Last year I actually found (and bought) some petunias that were yellow and black.  They were gorgeous!!!

So, you’re asking “Why is she talking about petunias?”

04-20 petuniaThis is why!!!  Sue, of McMahon Five Designs has drawn a beautiful petunia image for us this week!  Isn’t it lovely!!!

There are a couple of other images being released this week.  Sue has had a busy week and doesn’t have them in the store as of bedtime Thursday but she’s getting up early so they will probably be in the What’s New section by the time you get up!

I have a very busy weekend planned with my sister.  It’s quilt shop hop time again.  I’ve been to several quilt shop hops, seeing beautiful quilts and getting lots of ideas.  I’ve even purchased an entire quilt kit and the kits to make all the blocks for another quilt.  That doesn’t even count all of the quilting fabric and patterns I have purchased along the way.  And, many of the shops give a fat quarter away as a gift during the hop!!!  However, I’m kind of embarrassed to say that I’ve never made a quilt!!!  One of these days, huh?

I hope you have  great plans for this weekend as well!

Blessings,

Christine

Bright Blue Eyes

Hi! I’m finally back to my DT work after a long break for my trip to Utah; plus, I had to take an extra week off because I had a horrible migraine with lots of nausea last week. I think I willed it away all while I was in Utah and the day after I got home—bammo!!! Worst I’ve had but I’m all better now and ready to get back in the swing of things.

It’s a very small release this week.  Just two images but they are beautiful!

Don’t you just love this beautiful girl!  She was so easy to color but just beautiful.  I colored her face and eyes withy my Copics.  The black hair is part of the image.  I tied a bow with some ribbon from my stash and attached a beautiful cameo button from the Girls Paperie.  I got a really good deal on some Girls Paperie goodies when I went to Spark last fall.
 
Now, we have one more image released this week as well.  I really wanted to make a card with this one too.  It’s such a beautiful I butterfly!  Love the combo of  butterflies and music.  It makes my heart sings!!!

Near and Dear to My Heart

This is a subject that is near and dear to my “heart”.  A lot of you know that I am a heart transplant recipient (thanks so much to Ashley and her family).  You can check out my story if you would like here.  Scroll down to see the whole story!

April is Donate Life month and I wanted to join in the effort to get 20 million people registered in 2012.  If you are not already an organ donor, please consider being one.  You can get all the info here or by clicking on the graphic above.  I am eternally grateful for Donate Life and my donor’s family for giving me an extension on my life!!!
