Fall Birthday "book" card and Cricut Collectible giveaway!!

Hello everyone!! Been super busy trying to get my DH doctor appointments/referrals handled. Unfortunately the last procedure didn't help :( ! If that was consuming enough, my dearest friend had a health emergency. Thank goodness everything turned out okay!! Then had to get my son ready and off to Utah. I am so proud of him!! It was his first out of town "working" experience (he is part of a volunteer search & rescue program)!!

 Anyhoo!! I decided to attempt making one of those AWESOME "card books" that I have seen on Youtube (http://youtu.be/s4vetra7Np4 -link to tutorial)!! I used some of my favorite supplies!! The roses are from I AM ROSES and the Scarecrow was cut from CM Cheerful seasons cart. I decided to quill the little pumpkin and added it last minute!!  I decided to enter it into a couple of challenges as well!!

Birthday card for my Super Man!!:)

My hubby has a birthday coming on Tuesday and my son and I call him our Super Man! This is a special title that was given to him by our son during the time my husband was in a coma. It came about when I tried to explain to our son what the situation was and he told me...."Mom, don't worry!! My Dad is going to be okay, he's Superman!!". (He was 11 years old at the time of the accident.) Of course I was dying inside thinking, "omg he doesn't understand the severity of the situation!!". But my little boy taught me something that day. He had an unbreakable faith and love in God and his Dad. And I still believe to this day the Lord comforted him and gave him peace in is heart. He would just tell me he just KNEW he would be okay. That little boy never cried until the day his Dad woke from his coma! Just tears of joy!

And though the journey is still ongoing, our Superman has surpassed every goal the doctors had set for his recovery. Both of 'my boys' have taught me so much through these years. So Tuesday we will celebrate LIFE!! A BEAUTIFUL LIFE!! And I just have to say.....THANK YOU JESUS!!
Thnx for stopping by!!:)
