~ Gratitude ~

Good Morning, Friends!

Can you believe it is the first weekend of June?!   Not only that, but I have the house all to myself!!   My DH took our youngest boy, Levi, fishing at Boyd Lake.   Noah is off with a friend and his family at their summer cabin.   It is soooooo quiet!   It is going to be a warm day, too.    I decided I would get my ”must dos” done before the heat sets in.    Kitchen is clean, floors are swept and laundry is started.

Naturally, the next thing was stamping :).   I have struggled with mojo lately.   I think it is because of a slight medication change, but then again, it could be the stress of having my DH home 24/7.   He does go back to work tomorrow, so he will be gone for a week!   I know, I shouldn’t be so excited..lol.    You know the old saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder”?   Well it is true.   I appreciate him much more when he comes home from these trips.   I KNOW he appreciates me, more.

Anywho, this morning’s Inspiration Challenge comes from the website Design Dazzle.   I spent a good 45 minutes or so just looking at the pictures.   I wish my kids were little again, so I could decorate their rooms like those!   But, being teenagers, they want posters and video games..period.   I landed on this pic and was inspired.   You’ll have to scroll down to the last picture in the series to see my true inspiration.

I used my Rainbow Sherbert designer paper for the first time.   I adore the colors in this set of papers.   I also used green galore, which I rarely use, but it has such a summery feel.
