I do have a little project to share with you that I created last Saturday night to give to my mother-in-law Ada for Mother's Day. Ada will be 91 years old in a couple of weeks, and is in ill health with Parkinson's Disease. Our family would greatly appreciate your prayers for her during this difficult time.

Nancy,
We sure do miss your beautiful cards! Next to December, I think May is one of the busiest months for most people because of all the stuff going on at the end of the school year. Hang in there...don't worry...this too shall pass. Just enjoy every moment you can with your beautiful children.

Nancy,
I can relate! My two kids are 4 years apart and we had the May with HS graduation and 8th grade 'promotion' then last year was my daughter's HS graduation and her brother's college graduation! Enjoy all the May celebrations!
Cute as can be!

Love your card, Nancy!! Miss you so much, but TOTALLY understand the month you are having. These are all once in a life-time events and you're doing what you're supposed to be doing!! Thanks for posting, I know that takes time, too! BEAUTIFUL card as always.
Oh WOW Nancy - this is so gorgeous! Miss you lots too but it's been alot of fun too finding new Blogs from your picks of the week which have really inspired me. But totally understand your situation - thanks for taking the time to post this beautiful card :-)
This flower pot card is a winner. One of my clubs made it in their workshop yesterday. Their favorite flower was the SU Simple Flower embosslit in Eggplant envy. The leaves were in handsome hunter textured with the Sizzix distressed texture plate and punched out with the 5-petal flower punch; So Saffron punched with a 1/8" hole punch (brads work well too). Sweet Violets!
What a totally cute idea Nancy, I love this!! I bet it was a hit too!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex

Hang in there - I hope you will get some *you* time soon!!! Hugs ~S~
