New Day, New Blog

This will be interesting as I have never done a blog.  Will anyone see this or will it be me just posting to remember stuff in my life?  We will see!!

I am interested in crafting, I'm a Stampin Up demonstrator so cards are my main focus at this time.  But I do many different crafts.  I also LOVE to cook, and bake.  As I type this, I can smell the brownies in the oven for my daughter.  

I'm married and we have two children.  Our son, Michael, attends Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville working on his masters in Statistics.  Our daughter, Lindsey, attends the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.  Which is the same place that our son graduated from last May.  

Lindsey has been home for the week on break so I have been busy with cooking dinner each night for her.  It is always nice to have her come home and tell me what she wants to eat.  While I do love to cook, thinking of what to make is a struggle each day.  Since it is usually just my husband David and I most of the time, dinner is not always elaborate, but always good!  I also should mention our baby...well, dog.  His name is Tristan.  He is a rescue dog.  We got him from a young man that was going off to college, the same one my son attends.  He is a Bichon Poodle mix and is the cutest little guy.  He is spoiled rotten....as most pet owners do to their pets!!

As I stated, I am a Stampin Up demonstrator and I like to take part in a challenge each week.  This week it was a design challenge.  Here is the card I came up with.  I am sure to post soon...so stay tuned!!
