Happy New Year ! Out with 2011, and, in with 2012 !

It's hard to believe another year has passed.  My, how time does fly by.  I wish you all a very Happy and SAFE New Year !!

Hope your CHRISTmas was spectacular!

Hi !
I hope everyone had a very Merry CHRISTmas, we sure did.  Did you get lots of presents, and, everything that was on your "wish list"?    Sure hope so.

Now, you need some thank you notes?   I have just the country themed one for you.  These can also be distressed for an even more country look.   If you would like a different design, just let me know, and, I will design something for you, at no extra charge.  You can contact me at heartsandhappiness@embarqmail.com

The inside is blank so you can add your own personal message.  These cards sell for $ .99 each, and that includes a matching envelope.  Each note card is printed on cream card stock, with a cream envelope.

Please visit my NEW blog/website for more designs.  I am really enjoying making notecards.  There aren't many places to buy country themed cards, so I am trying to remedy that.  LOL   I will be adding designs, so please keep checking back.  http://www.countrynotecards.wordpress.com/

Merry CHRISTmas!

On this first day of December I want to wish you a very ............

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone !

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Day today.  I hope you get to spend time with your family/friends today.  Enjoy!

God is truly the Ultimate Artist!

We have one of the most beautiful country settings across the road from us.  Here is a picture, just a few minutes ago, of the freshly combined (yesterday) corn field, with a cottony layer of fog just laying there slightly above the ground underneath a beautiful sunrise.  Wow, thanks God for painting me a beautiful portrait to look at this morning.

Happy Labor Day !

Well, Good Morning.  I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Labor Day.  Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend. 

Our weather just totally changed today.  It has been SO hot for so long, and not much rain, so, we pretty much have brown grass.  The high temp for today is 70 degrees.  That's great to work outside.  But, there is no sun, and the wind is really blowing, so, it feels kinda chilly out there.   And, although it is a nice break from the heat and humidity we have been having, I'm still a summer girl, and, I like summer weather.

Well, whatever you are doing today, ENJOY!!! 

Happy 4th of July

Have a wonderful, fun, and SAFE 4th of July weekend.

Happy Father's Day

Hope all you Dads, Grandpas, Brothers, Uncles, etc. have a wonderful day today, and, hope you get to spend time with your family.  :)

Happy Memorial Day !

Please remember the reason for this day.  Remember all the troops that have given their lives for us to have our freedom.  I dedicate this day to Gary Michael Henry who gave his life for our freedom on August 4, 2008.

Easter Tags - You need to check these out!

These tags are a little different from my normal distressed country tags.  But, I thought for Easter, pastel colors would be the thing!  Left click on the picture for a larger view.

A $575 Gift Basket !

I just made this gift basket for my daughter's work.  It is a bingo prize!!  How would you like to win this playing bingo?  It was a donation for the Easter Seals.  I have never done a basket this large, or expensive. It turned out so great.  The picture really doesn't do it justice though.  :)   Left click the picture for a better view. 

Wow!! Enough is Enough!!

I don't know about all of you, but, I am sure ready for this ICE to go away, and stay away.  My goodness!!  :(  Hope you are all staying safe and warm. 

COME ON SPRING !!  WE ARE READY !!

Are you in a cold climate?

I live in a cold climate.  It is now 7 degrees at my house, and, our flag is whipping around quite a bit, and, it's not even 8 a.m. yet.  So, guess it's going to be another wintry day here.  Thank God for our warm home, and, I pray for the homeless that are outside in this.

I think I just wanted to post something sunny and cheerful, so, here's a beautiful picture to warm up yours, and my day.  I would like to be in this climate right now.  :)  Stay warm. 

OK - Monday, January 3, 2011 - Back to Normal

Normal - does anyone remember what that is or was?  LOL
