Wow - Pigs are Flying!!!

I can't promise that I will post anything even remotely resembling regularly, but here is one post of several I hope to get done over the next couple of weeks.

An update on us, first.  We are packing up our house (family of 5, 2 cats, a dog and a VERY filled garage (tools, bikes, camping gear, etc.)) to move to Kentucky on February 1st.  My husband will be going to 3-4 months of training in Georgia and Mississippi followed by a 6 month (perhaps longer) deployment to Afghanistan.  I thought with him gone nearly a year it is a good time to take advantage of being able to move "home", where there are no Air Force bases and we have very little hope of ever living there while he is Active Duty in the Air Force.  Anyway....since we are choosing to move, the move is on us, so all I have been doing is packing and trying to clean a little in-between.  I'm also trying to be a good mom for once and give my kids some fun memories with friends so we've started making a point of having them over to play and spend the night.  Five kids running around hasn't been too helpful on the packing front, but I want my kids to remember the fun times.

I actually stamped yesterday because I pulled out some CS for the girls to make cards with their friends - it was a miracle!!!  I made 3 cards.  One for a beloved teacher we will be leaving behind, and 2 for my dear friends that I will also be leaving.  The two friend's cards are based on one I did for my last round of SIM (Stamps in the Mail) and so I will begin there with sharing with you one of the cards I made for SIM.  I apologize, but no recipes. If you have any questions, just leave a comment and I'll answer them.  If I get a chance, I will try to add the recipe later.  In looking at the photo - should have scooted that button and sentiment over to the right a little.  Oh well.  I made this card back in October.  :)  Have a GREAT day, and thanks for stopping by - if anyone even still checks in!
