Receiving Happy Mail & Making Stickers...

Hello Everyone :)

I received my very 1st RAK today! :) (As well call it in the group... Happy Mail)

I also received a few samples in the mail, and a FREE Pillsbury coupon to try one of their Funfetti Donut Kits! mmmm :) I'll be picking those up soon to try!

Next week I will be going to court regarding my workers comp injury (that is all I can say for now) & I'm hoping that I can continue medical treatment.

Also on some really good news: My Friend Christina will be coming up to SC in February & we will be doing pictures with her! She hasn't seen or taken pictures of us as a family or of Christopher since he was 18 months old!!!! I cannot wait to see her!

I'll leave you with a few photos & then I'm off for the day! :)

The RAK I got today! These stickers will be of some great use to me!!! I can't wait to use the Girl Scouts ones and of course the tear drops! Those are always super fun to use :)

Utilizing my sticker maker I got 2 Christmas's ago :) I made a cupcake sticker! (I cut out the cupcake design with my cricut on very pretty birthday sprinkle paper)

Saturday--

Caroline and Nate's Gender reveal party was so much fun! While Esther watched Christopher, we headed out to their place and ate, played some games, found out the gender, and of course opened presents. Chris and I bought them a pack of newborn diapers and a little bath pack. Because we didn't know the gender prior, it was more of a diaper and toiletries party, so at her baby shower it'll be more of a gender themed gift. I already know what we're getting them!

TEAM PINK WON! THEY'RE HAVING A BABY GIRL!!!!! Paisley Claire will make her debut [approx] 10.15.13

All of us ladies were soooo happy! Glad I wore pink! We also got to see their gender reveal pictures and they were perfect! A lot of time and effort was put into the party planning, and I really enjoyed playing the games, and watching her open her gifts! She'll be a wonderful mommy!

Today--

My Mothers Day was relaxed. Christopher and I played outside for a little bit, I tanned, read my book, and watched Chris as he cleaned out our deep freezer. My mother was with me in spirit as I cried. Cried for losing my mom, and cried because I'll also be losing my aunt to cancer. (she is no longer responding). 

Kevin and Esther got me a pretty cute card with some cash inside to do whatever I want to with, and Chris made me a card (I have yet to see it). 

I made Esther a couple of things and luckily I have pictures, so I can show you down below!

                Esther's Mother Day Card made by yours truly! Thank goodness for Cricut Machines!

Inside the envelope we put a Mounds Bar and a Hershey's Bar (She doesn't care for Mounds) and the envelope is taped to a Mountain Dew bottle. I found this on Pinterest and thought it was the cutest thing! It says "Mounds of Thanks 4 all u Dew"

                              This is from Christopher to Esther. I still have yet to put it in a frame. 

So today has been bittersweet so to say. But everything will heal with time, and although it hurts to no longer have my mother around, and to find out that I am losing another relative to cancer, I consider myself blessed. I am blessed to have the family that I have. To have the love that I have. 

Happy Mothers Day!
