~~~~50~~~~

This is what 50 looks like!!!!   Yep, today is my birthday and I'm half-century today!!!!

If you are hanging out with me, this is what I look like most of the time!!! 

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!  I have a huge belly laugh and it will attract attention (not meaning to) everywhere I go.

I'm going to have a blast today.......can I get a WOOP WOOP!!!!!

Wow, 50!!!!!

I love it!!!!!!

Until later, my birthday pressies.....Gotta split.......TFL!!!!!!!!!

It's all business today!!!

Business sized card........that is!!!!!

Cricut cardz challenge for today is to create a 9" X 4" card using any theme or any cricut cart you wish....easy enough, huh???

 I chose the saxophone image from Quarter Note cart.  My daughter is in her first year of band and this is her instrument of choice.  We are so proud of her, she is second chair and she loves band.  I can't wait until she starts marching.  I hope she sticks with it and plays in the band all the way thru school. There were a few iffy moments when she wanted to give up, but we told her to keep trying and now she loves it!!!!!

Until later, music lovers.......Gotta split......TFL!!!!!

All that and a bag of chips!!!!!

   Just sent off my images for an image swap and this I enclosed for the host.  Because it can be a daunting task to set up everything and then wait on the snail mail and then send everything back out.

Love these Hanna Stamps images.  The company is no longer in operation, but I still love 'em!!!!

This was a pretty easy card to put together..... I let the DSP dictate the colors to use on my cute girlie!!!!  Added some pre-cut flowers and half pearls and ta daaaaa, awesome-ness!!!!!!

     (Inside of card!!!) Computer generated sentiment.

Until later, chippys.....Gotta split........TFL!!!!

Munster....monster....... ????

   Herman, Lily, Eddie, Grandpa, and Marilyn are beloved monsters munsters to me. I remember watching this show wishing they lived next door to me.  What fun that would have been.!!!  I even featured "spot"...their under the stairs pet by embossing the green layer to look like his skin.  I {heart} them so much I have the show's theme song as my ring tone on my phone. It isn't the "elevator music" type ring either....its the real deal. Everytime it rings when I'm out and about; people stop to listen and say .... "I know that song"  Then when they figure it out (sometimes with a little help) they always respond "I loved that show"

Haunted Design House challenge is "Beloved Monsters" this week. I couldn't think of another beloved  monster munster to honor for this week's challenge.  There's some monsterific creations over at HDH.  See ya there!!!!

Until later, beloved monster lovers......Gotta split....TFL!!!!!

Prayers for a friend....

I have a friend that recently lost her father.  I feel her pain; as I have lost both of my parents sooo many years ago.  Both of my parents had tragic endings.  My Daddy was in a traffic accident when I was just 16 yrs.old and my Mama suffered a long battle with lung cancer just 7 yrs. later.....when I was a young 23 yrs. old.  I miss them both sooo much still today. A week doesn't go by that I don't think about them and wish they could be here to enjoy their grands and great-grands.

My friend is a lady that we scrapbook with and she has had a rough time recently with her father suffering from alzheimers and heart problems. I know she'll be fine as she has great moral support from her family and friends.

Until later, FRIENDS......Gotta split......TFL!!!!!!

Anything you say can be used against you.......

(inside)

Super Trooper Tripp is none too happy!!!!  Someone got his order mixed up.  I hope he doesn't hold a grudge. 

Dude Time Doodles Challenge has a sketch you need to follow....follow closely and don't break any laws so Super Trooper Tripp won't have to read you the Miranda rights!!!

Make sure its also a manly card.....Super Trooper Tripp can't tolerate anything other than that. Ohhhh, and don't forget to have FUN..........that was your last warning!!!!

Until later, law abiding citzens.......Gotta split......TFL!!!!!

Happy, happy, happy birthday !!!!!

   I have a milestone birthday coming up this month (the 10th to be exact).....

  I'm turning a half-century old.  I really don't mind saying that out loud either.

The big 5-0hhhh!!! I plan on celebrating for at least a week.....may be just a party of one a day or two, but a celebration none the less......Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha~!!!!

This card was created for a monthly card swap I'm in. The host is a really good friend from our scrapbooking group. She is the sweetest person alive.  I kept it quite simple this month.  Still trying to get over the creeping cruds......feeling better and better every day.   I'll probably be wearing a hat like one of these above in the near future.

Until later, gifties...........Gotta split.........TFL!!!!
