TGIF; Thankful Friday #309
Thank you Friday! It's been a busy week and I'm glad for the upcoming weekend! What am I thankful for this week? I'm thankful for coworkers who have become friends.
Cristina loves my spaghetti. I mean LOVES my spaghetti. Folks, I do not do anything special with my semi-homemade spaghetti but it is surely a compliment. Everytime I make some, I always set some aside for her and surprise her with it the next day.
Well, she knows I love chicken mole and everytime she makes it for her family, she returns my container with chicken mole & rice.
It's a fun exchange and one that I am going to miss. This week she brought me some. I should have taken a picture, but I was so excited to eat it that I thought of it after I ate it. :)
So that's what I'm thankful for...coworkers who have become friends AND chicken mole!
What about you? What are you thankful for this week?
Sketch n Scrap Layout Sketch #293
Normally, I like to say that I'm a scrapbooker who makes cards but lately I've really been more of a cardmaker that sometimes scrapbooks. I guess there's no surprise that I'm behind in my scrapbooking!

Card Making Frenzy Round One
Well, as we're in clean up and organize mode, I gathered all the miscellaneous items on my desktop and placed them in containers to bundle 'like' products. I gotta tell ya, there is a lot of junk on my desk! I decided to create cards using only what's on my desk.
I can't really say where I got the items since they've been on my desk for so long, and the focal point images were either created earlier by me or received in a swap. I can tell you that these two lady stamps are from Unity Stamps. I have about five different ladies and I love them all!

Final Touches; Wedding Layouts
I did just that when I attended the last crop. I put together 5 two-page spreads of the wedding album I'm working on and this post focuses on completing them.
TGIF; Thankful Friday #308
Friday! You're here! I'm going to be honest, I didn't even realize it was Friday when I woke up this morning. The week went by so fast for me. I love that!
So this week #308, I am thankful for being busy. Not too busy but busy enough to not realize it's Friday.
What are you thankful for this week? Please share below.

Easter Chick Treat Boxes; PCC
Spring is in the air which means Easter is right around the corner. I’m so excited to show off what I made using the Easter Chick Treat Box D085 cut file from Printable Cuttable Creatables. These little treat boxes are so adorable and so easy to make.
Follow the instructions with the cut file because you do have to make changes to the cut/score lines before clicking the MAKE button on your Cricut. Once this is completed, cut out all the pieces and place them in groups on your work table to keep them in order.
Fold the box at the score lines and assemble.
I have to say, not only do I love these because they are so adorable, but you don’t even need adhesive for the boxes! Yes, you read that correctly. The notches on the boxes fit into the slits on the sides and since they curve down, they lock together. No need for adhesive but of course you can add some if you prefer.
Adhere the three pieces for the chick head before placing all the other pieces on the box. The black piece is sandwiched between the two yellow head pieces.
What another great design feature! The chick has a finished look whether you are looking at the front or the back!
You can really tell from the side view that I used foam adhesive on the outside of the chick wings to give it some dimension.
And can we just sit for a moment and admire the marbled teal paper? Perfect for Easter eggs, right?
I cannot wait to fill these with goodies for
my granddaughters’ Easter baskets and I may
even make more for my coworkers.
