Well you have reached the end of this hop

as I offer my views of

this time of year

Summer left rather fast for me

Children are back in school and days are cooler

Autumn is a beautiful time of the year

who doesn't like the leaves

turning in front of our eyes

from fresh bright green to

burnt orange, cramberry, chocolate brown, amber, and green

The leaves fall gracefully

from the trees - to the ground

If you pay attention

you can hear them tumbling down

the street, road or in your yard

Awwh the wind is brisk and crisp

Suggling into your favorite blankets or cover ups

reading a good book, watching a movie, or crafting

family time, partner time, me time

sipping a beverage with a little snack

As I get older these are the moments that

cherish

If you arrived here from Irit Shalom http://iritshalom.blogspot.com/

then you are in the right place!!

Honored and previlaged to be a part of the

KinderStampO Guest Design Team

Jess is a wonderful person to rub shoulders with

She is always inspiring and encouraging

She has accomplished so much in the time I've known her

From her own rubber stamp line to metal charms

WOW

what's next

I say "I want to be like her when I grow up!" lol

A little about me

LIVE.

I am a proud wife, mother of 3 kiddos living in the Mid-West. I also do that other thing - work full time. Originally from Chicago, Illinois and now in East Chicago, Indiana. (I guess I couldn't move too far from my old stomping grounds). My hubby and mom are the best cheerleaders ever!

CRAFT.

..is a small word with great substance - so much to learn. I've been desiging since 1994. I pour out a part of myself into every creation I make. I try to be "UNEEK" and think outside the box with a "I can do that" attitude. Hoping to grab someone else's hand out of the box to see what is out there.

INSPIRE.

I seek my inspiration through people that are genuine and passionate as myself. If you just stand still for one moment, take a DEEP breath and look around your inspiration is everywhere. From a tiny rock on the ground to the movement of the sky. Even music moves me to be artistic. The sky is the limit!

FINAL THOUGHTS

Why try to hoard an idea as oppose to sharing it with everyone? You can have a slice of the pie too. Heck, I get excited when I get a little experience or knowledge.

Always remember to give credit when credit is due.

THANK YOU JESS!

I designed a card
depicting relaxation at the beach
I must admit that I have not taken the children to beach yet
I had two additional children 2 years apart
so hence my DH working 2nd shift
it made it difficult for me to do it alone

Now that the youngest one will be 2 in a few weeks
I've made it my duty to take them to
CHICAGO
to wiggle their toes
in the sands of Oak Street Beach
near the Magnificent Mile

They deserve to enjoy earth in it's natural form
acknowledge natural life around them
Bontanical Gardens
Brookfield/Linconl Park Zoo
just sitting the park closing their eyes and
listen to the waves crash
birds chirp
animal sounds
(dont forget the traffic sounds lol)

Many things that I didn't appreciate

Summer Fun
is the place to be

RELAX AND ENJOY

I was inspired by you tube tutorials by
utilitzing the mini iron and crayons to design this background

What girl doesn't like butteflies. In 2008 I went to Playa De Carmen, Mexico in January and it was the butterfly season. I had taken footage and pics but unfortunately, my ex-fiance had them and lost them. So that is the best way to describe the scenery.

"It was a sea of serenity and peacefulness in the air"

I am human and if you cut me I would bleed

not every project is successful or perfect

It's all trial and error

I had thought that 24 hours would have been plenty to finish the look I wanted

the plastic wrap is still stuck on the bottom of the bowl

It's going to take another day for the glue to harden

Welcome to

Celebrations of the Heart

blog hop hosted by

Alina of Addicted to Scrapbooking

If you just dropped by and would like to start from the beginning click HERE

This hop is to celebrate people that we love dearly

soooo I choose

my Hubby
Delicandro

Despite of all

short commings

quirks, impatiences, moodiness, emtional,

crazy ideas, uncertainties, insecurities

My Delicandro loves me

He is the straight line

as I am the unruly wired ball

He is strong, consistant, hardworking, commited and a

God Fearing Man

My protector, my strength, my provider, my best friend

my everything

I took this photo last year

He always has a militant stand
(never served - but you would think that he did)

When I see this photo it reminds me of

an Guardian Angel

Next on the hop is Gloria

I guess this was a little more difficult to complete then I thought.

It's been a long week after the passing of my father

and in the stages of

should have

would have

could have

I will keep this short and sweet.

I honor my father

because the bible says I must

I honor my father

because he gave me life

I honor my father

because when I did see him it was memorable

I honor my father

because regardless of the distance he still loved me

I honor my father

because his was not a perfect man

I honor my father

because he did what he could during the time he was here

I honor my father

because while he didn't want me to worry

I honor my father

because I only have but good memories

I honor my father

because he is still my father

no one can take that away from me.

Appreciate life

Next JILL
