Raindrops & Winnie-the-Pooh!!

Hello everyone & Happy Middle of the week to you all!  I want to thank each & every one of you that stopped by my blog yesterday, BECAUSE YOU WANTED too and left me such wonderful comments.  It truly uplifted my spirits to know so many of you like stopping by here and visiting with me each day!  I appreciate you all taking the time to leave comments for me yesterday, it really meant a lot to me and touched me more than you can know!  Thanks for taking time out of YOUR day to do that for me--it really is beyond words how much it meant to me!

No more ranting from me--I'll just put a link to that post when I need to okay? LOL!  But I'm the kind of person that says what they mean, and I ALWAYS mean what I say!  What you see and hear is what you get---I don't play games and I don't have time for games in my life.  LIFE IS TOO SHORT PEOPLE!!  You only get ONE chance at living your life--take advantage of it and live YOUR life not someone elses--it's just not worth it!  What doesn't kill us, makes us that much stronger!!

I'm sitting here watching "Glee" with my daughter right at the momen and driving her NUTSY!  I don't much care for the story line but I LOVE the singing--I love musicals, sing-a-longs and just music in general.  It drives her crazy that I know every song lyric ever made and that I sing along to her fave show--cracks me up of course!  LOL!  Quality time with my teen daughter, hee hee!

So today I have some sunshine to share with ya that is breaking thru those rain clouds!!  And here's a couple pics of my daughter with her friends on her birthday too!

 Alexa is on the far RIGHT!!

On Sunday (her actual bday) we took her to dinner and she opened her last present--a topaz/silver key necklace picked out by her Mom (meeee)!!

Sunshine Thru the Rain!!

 Today I've got a little sun to share with you--hope it brings a smile to your face!  I used this cutie-pie duck from the "Popcorn the Bear" stamp set (see here for that post) from Paper Romance.  These cute Popcorn Bear stamps come with so many cute sentiments and accessory stamps to use--fabby!  I love this cute duck--I colored him with Copics and then cut him out.  I had to use this Winnie-the-Pooh sentiment from Verve Stamps!  It says "If you live to be 100, I hope to live to be 100 minus one day, so I NEVER have to be without you."   That's how I feel about my husband and this sentiment was on his wedding card from me all those years ago--perfectly said by the wonderful Winnie-the-Pooh!

I chose to make an acrylic card because I wanted to give the illusion of water--and they're just fun to make!  Those dots/rain drops on the acrylic (I use a transparency for my base) were made with a Viva Decor Gloss Pen in transparent--awesome for glass/water images you want to make. And you can use it on any surface--I think it looks really cool on acrylic!  The cs and ribbon is a new color from PTI called Hawaiian Shores (love it).

Hope you have a wonderful day today!  I'm off to get my hair done (yikes its been 4 mos--my poor roots, hee hee) then do errands and finish up work before I leave on Thursday.
