round 2 blog candy

i haven't been doing anything lately....no motivation and waaaay too tired. sleep is becoming increasingly more important. go figure! these are all cards i made a week or 2 ago. cannot even remember. just too lazy to post too!
looking at the above card now, i think i will add something to it on the vintage dictionary page. maybe a handmade lacy flower on the corner? i'll get to it one day.......
just had to scrap brandon's 1st t-ball game.


i made this PURPLE card for a friend that i found out recently isn't that fond of purple. hmpff---i think i will send it anyways. apparently, there are lots of peeps who don't likey purple! it will just be a surprise as to who will get this eventually.
ok---actually, i know what i have been doing with all my time lately. i finished brandon's tooth fairy pillow. it really only took 1.5 hours to finish but days for me thinking about getting it done! procrastinator....that's me! when he told me his tooth was getting REALLY loose, i had to get moving! he may be going on vaca with 1 less tooth! picture coming soon. yep---too lazy to take a pic of it!
we are going on vaca during his spring break. i am kinda sad we'll be missing the easter egg hunt by our house. we've been going every year since brandon could "hunt" for eggs! this trip is sort of my b-day present too.....excited to just get away. been 2 yrs (?) since out last vaca).
so, as promised, i am having another blog candy giveaway in honor of my birthday (3/28)! i will leave this open til april 10th. i'm guessing we'll be settled back at home by then. just leave a comment on this post to be entered. thanks to you all that visit here, let me share pics of my boys, my crafty things and leave sweet comments! candy will include crafty things and a surprise or 2! if you are new to my blog and not a regular, please LMK where you are from and how you found me!
BTW, my card was showcased here. =) the little things that make my day! (it's the 2nd card shown)

Hi Ivy, congrats on your Cards blog shout out, love your card! You need to give yourself some credit, kiddo. You're not lazy, it's hard work being a mom to 2 little boys (been there, done that!) A little nap every now and then wouldn't be a bad thing either. Someone's got to look out for you and it may as well be me!
Enjoy your birthday and your vacation, hope you have a wonderful time!
blessings,
nancy

I like purple, any color really. I love your showcase card, the paper is adorable. Have a happy birthday and a great vacation.

I love your "just saying hello" card. The colors are great. I'm a big fan of purple. Also, your blog is great. Love those cupcakes. I'm a new follower so I am looking forward to more great ideas. By the way... isn't being a mom just the greatest thing on earth. Enjoy your babies, they grow up to be teenagers too fast. I still call mine babies!

Happy Happy Birthday Ivy! I hear you about not having mojo, but if it helps, looking at amazing creations bye people like yourself inspire me and help me to get my mojo back. Love your cards and the bright colours and purple is a colour I don't use, but they look beautiful on other peoples cards. And now that I have seen other beautiful cards with purple I made one last night. It will be in the HA Contest. Thanks to people like you I got it made with a great colour. Thanks a ton.
