This card was made for a co-worker’s birthday. She had asked me to make her some of my Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins for her special day — and I just could not pass up the chance to make her some cute muffin toppers. It was a quickie, but still fun and special! For the recipe, go here! Challenges used: Pollycraft Challenge for a Winter Birthday Card; Flutterby Wednesday to use a fairy or butterfly; Charisma Cardz to make a card for Celebrations; Our Creative Corner to make it Clean and Simple.

… I can tell that 2010 is going to be an interesting year. But before we get into that, can I just give myself a pat on the back for keeping my new year’s resolution for 2009?! I am not fond of new year’s resolutions because I never go through with them, longer than the first month of the year. Bummer. But for 2009 I decided to create and keep a blog for the entire year (and consistently). It was fun and I may not ever go back through and read some of the things that I wrote, but it was a blast sharing my life and creations with those interested :) Thanks for being a visitor!

Now for 2010 — it started off with some surprising news — I was laid off on New Year’s Eve. It is ok, we will be ok and I look forward to see where God takes me next. First though, I am getting our life in order and doing a bit of Spring Cleaning and some creating. It is really what I WANT to do with my time. Who knows what will happen next! If this is your first time at the blog, I would love for you to become a follower (over on the right hand column of the blog) and visit often. I will be starting my Scrap or Dare challenges up again soon too — I do my best to share at least once a week and most of the time it will be on my latest creations — fun, I promise!
