Easter blessings one and all!

It's been a wonderful day! Easter church is so uplifting, and I have the best Primary class in the world, sharing the Easter story with them was heartwarming. After church my daughter's made a wonderful dinner at Maggi's new house, and I got to be the guest. I spent the afternoon with all four of my daughters and their children, and my sister and nieces and nephew. Great company, and the most work I did all day was rock my 10 month old grandson to sleep. If all my one day weekends could be like this tax season wouldn't be near so tiring!


There are only three more Saturdays left in tax season! Even more exciting than that, only four more Mondays left until I have several months of three day weekends! I'm so looking forward to it. Saturday is a special day, housework, laundry, shopping, making everything ready for the next week. Sunday is for church and family. And Mondays I get to stamp most of the day. Tuesdays may be a little rough...


I even got to stamp today! It's a very simple card using Ginger Blossom designer paper, the Embrace Life and Sincere Salutations stamp sets, white craft ink and white embossing powder. I borrowed the layout from the Stampin' Up Spring and Summer Idea Book and Catalog. (The Princess card on page 77, which uses Stampin' Ups scallop notes.) I made it full size, and scalloped the edge of the designer paper with my corner punch with the guard taken off.
It felt so good to "play with my toys" again. I have to make time for this a little more through the next few weeks, it will make the days go much smoother!
