Hi Everyone,
Can you believe it? May already!!
Where did April go? I spent a lot of time reflecting on life this past month from a different perspective than I have ever had and came to the conclusion most people come to, life is short.
My mom just celebrated her 93rd birthday "God bless her heart". I asked her, "what advice would you give to anyone to live as long as you have?"
She looked at me real seriously and said, "keep breathing".
Then she also added, never go to bed angry and always forgive everyone.
She has a great sense of humor and I love her to pieces-- any way on to the challenge, but before we go one quick question for you.
Do you have any tidbits of advice that you could share or anything that was handed down from an elder you love or respect?
DL.ART MAY LINKY CHALLENGE (anything goes)
We (close to my heart) now have thin cuts dies to go with a few of our stamp sets. I got them all this month. Last month spring critters sold out pretty quickly. I wish I had thought to buy a few sets, because some of my friends wanted some and they were all gone. Not everyone has an electric die cutting machine and this makes a perfect choice for those of you who use the hand crank type, and would like to have a die for you stamps.
Here is my project for the DL.ART May linky challenge. I Hope you think it is as elegant as I do.I think I need to make some sets of these This is a 5x7 card. I use to make this size all the time, but for the last year I have been making the 5.5 x 4.25

I inked up the tea pot and added a bit of doodles, it just looked too plain to me

Awww, Happy Birthday to your dear Mom, Diana! Still giggling at her advice. Hmmm, trying to recall if I've ever gotten any. My birthday was this past week too, and I'm feeling my age. Fabulous cards by all and I'll be emailing you in a few with a couple of questions for June. Last week was sort of a blur with our little trip and all. xxD
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Diana! I love the background texture and the little teapot is fabulous! Sorry it's been a while since I stopped..I have been so stinken busy helping my daughter and family move. Between helping with the little girls, to packing, unpacking, painting etc. I am exhausted! I guess I am not as young as I think, hehe! I hope to get back in the swing of things real soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well and taking the time to rest my friend! Thinking of you and sending bug hugs!

ReplyDeleteMy mom would always tell me that too, when I was young..don't go to bed upset and always forgive.I never forget that..she still reminds me..:)
Have a blessed day my friend,
