Card R.A.K Week of 7/17-7/24

200 SPECIAL FRIENDS BLOG CANDY

Hello Lovelies,

I wanted to share with you today the name of the recipient for the Weekly Card R.A.K. that I recently started here on my blog. As you know, this week has been crazy because of Chace's testing and then I had a few ill feeling days also but, GOD is super awesome and we are moving right along.

Last Saturday we didn't announcethe recipient...I had no idea that I receive so many FABULOUS comments in a weeks time, You all ROCK! I was overwhelmed and needed to come up with a better system as well. So, from now on, we will announce the recipient a week later. I believe this will help me streamline the process and better facilitate the R.A.K.

I am so excited about this project because I think that it will put a smile of someone's face and well, I do have a suprise to two in store as well. I know I can't change the world but I can do my part to help brighten the day for some of those that I come into contact with. 

So, now that I have rambled on for years...the recipient of last weeks Card R.A.K. is the one and only...Kelly of Kelly's Cratfy Life.

Kelly, please send me your mailing address and the card information for the card you would like to receive. I will need the link to the post so that you get the card of your choice from the week of 7/17-7/24.

Many thanks everyone.

Hugs,

~Shen

 

Thank You So Much

200 SPECIAL FRIENDS BLOG CANDY

Hello Lovelies,

I have a card to share with you today. Over the last few weeks, I have been the recipient of various giveaways and prizes.  I wanted to show my appreciation for the FABULOUS goodies that I have been given.  I made a few "Thank You" cards to mail to the awesome people that have sent me goodies.  I appreciate the goodies and you will be seeing them on some of my projects. The patterned paper I chose comes from DCWV, my favorite paper company just in case you couldn't tell by now - lol.  I absolutely love this paper and have bought several stacks because of the beauty plus amazing value in both the quality and quantity. Thanks for the visit and have an awesome day.

Hugs,

~Shen

Create A Critter

Hello Lovelies,

I have a card to share with you today. I used the CAC cart and the DCWV Stack 7 patterned paper. I want to say "Thank You" to all of my friends for all of your encouragement and support. I did let Chace know that you all wished him well during his testing and he too says, "thanks." I hope you like my creation today and thanks so much for the visit.

Hugs,

CTO Play Along

Hello Lovelies,

I have a card to share with you today. The new challenge at CTO is to use the colors blue and white. I am not designing this week but in support of my CTO family, I am playing along. So, please join me.

I haven't been creating as much this week because Chace,(my first born) is testing this week to enter college much sooner and with more college credits.  We have been hard at work over here, which doesn't leave me with much time to create. I have committed to at least one post per day. 

I appreciate all the thoughtfulness and support that you all give me daily, it is so amazing you lovelies are always here for me and I so appreciate you, thanks a million times over my friends.

Hugs,

~Shen

Blog Awards

Hello Lovelies,

I had the awesome honor of receiving some awards from some super talented ladies...Norma, Maribel, Sabrina, Amy, Pam, Karen, Judy Ann and Kellie. If you haven't visited these ladies, what are you waiting for? I feel so blessed to be amongst such talent. I am not going to bore you with things about me, I've probably told you more than you ever care to know anyways. Thanks for the visit and have an awesome day!

Hugs,

~Shen

Thanks Sabrina! Thanks Maribel! Thanks Amy! Thanks Pam! Thanks Karen!

Thanks Norma! Thanks Karen!

Thanks Norma!

Thanks Norma!

Thanks Norma! Thanks Karen!

Thanks Judy Ann!

I have been waiting to post these awards, mainly, in part because I was devising my list of recipients and this post. Well, I am going to invite (10) lovelies over and they can pick up whichever award they want (Judy Ann's idea). I want to send an extra, extra special thanks to Judy Ann, she gave me an award back in June and I can not find a post ever thanking her and I so appreciate her for thinking of me.

I want you all to know that I am extremely grateful for all of your awesome and consistent support. I love visiting your blogs and leaving comments about your FABULOUS work. If I ever forget to say "thanks," it is an oversight only...I take absolutely nothing for granted, especially your kindness.

My list is in no particular order.

1. Lisa

2. Melissa

3. Norma

4. Pam 

5. Maribel

6. Amy

7. Sabrina

8. Karen

9. Kellie

10. Judy Ann

I think I should be able to name at least (10) more lovelies because I've received the award more than once, right. Let me know what you think in your comment.  Thanks again.
