What Happens When You Feed Your Children Vegetables.....

The answer to my post title is.....They Grow Up! (and you lose your mind....)
HELLO you wonderful people whom I have been missing for what seems like forever.

Long story short.  Our daughter transferred to a new school. They added up her credits and she had so many honor classes that she qualified to graduate a year early. You'd think I'd be all like, 'YEAH', but really it was more accurately like, 'WHAT THE ....' because we found that out in April and had 3 weeks roughly to plan a graduation party and apply for college.  Needless to say I've been in a crazy place for a bit.  
So, when Regina designed this amazing product Design Team Planner Set, I knew I had to make it to help preserve what brain cells I had remaining!
It's got ALL KINDS of cool stuff that makes my life easier, like a calendar, and tabs, and pages and pages full of ways to make being on a Design Team MUCH more ORGANIZED! 
Yeah Regina! You're a life saver!!
But wait, there's more! If that's not captivating enough, you're not going to believe this Craft Supply Planner Set she also created.  Here is a picture of her book below.  
Talk about oodles and gobs of organizational pages....it's unbelievable!
She's even created a sheet to organize your Washi tape collection!
I now have peace of mind when I come into my craft room and despite all the other crazy that is floating around, at least in my little art room, I know I'm on the ball!
All of these files are available @
Also wanted to share that I used more files from The Cutting Cafe to bring the BIG party together.
Here is our daughter and son when they were 'wittle bitty'....
They have a wonderful relationship.
This is actually last year's family photo that is hanging on our wall. LOL! I love it :)
And here they are all growed up this year.
EEK...she's graduated!!
The table setting getting ready for the party
And do you see that little box to the right on the tree? 
That's a present box from the Little Red Wagon Box template.
Because we were already planning a Mother's Day and several birthday's party, we had to add the very special Graduation Day into it as well so it officially became the 
Happy GradMoBirThersUation Day Party!!
That is why you see the multiple randomly placed numbers, the graduation hats, the boxes for presents, the flowers for Mother's day and the hysterical Tim Holtz birds that just look plain confused, because that sums it up perfectly.
Credit goes to my wonderful blog buddy Richard for the theme inspiration (what to do when there's mass confusion)....check this out!
Anywho, I'm back now with a few less marbles than before, but I'm so excited to visit all your blogs and catch up!
Biggest of hugs to you and Happy Crafting,

This, That, Grad and No More Snot Rag....

Hello, Hello, Hello and Happy almost Easter!
Just wanted to pop a few cards up that I've made over the last 2 days. It's a compilation of several themes, but thought some of them might be inspiring if you're in need of some more ideas.

Here is my commissioned card for a 65th Anniversary.
Another commissioned card for a 50th.
Gold Anniversary

You're Sweet
I'm not that brave at making sympathy cards because I never know if they should be bland or over the top pretty... but here's what I came up with.
Sympathy  Card
I just read the musical paper and not sure what corn and beans have to do with sending sympathy, but....

Also, while my voice was out, the Hubster and I celebrated our anniversary and he got a nice QUIET day (he says 'best gift ever' ) and this card! 

Anniversary
Also, have several graduation ceremonies getting ready to take place for my friends, so I thought of this idea as the money holder for my good friend's son.

Graduation Money Holder
The base is a 3D graduation cap box and I've covered the bottom in Washi key tape. The top is a 3D hot air balloon that is attached with wire down through the lid of the hat. The graduate is holding on to the balloon and going forward.  A homemade tassel, year, and Dr. Seuss sentiment added.  
When you grab the balloon and pull, it pulls the lid off the hat and the 'green' gift will be inside.  
Centerpiece, keepsake and gift all in one.

Well, it's time to go take more Mucinex (I'm feeling SO MUCH better now) and I'll be back later with a fun group project announcement.
Hope you all are doing well and thank you so much for stopping by to visit me.
HUGE hugs and happy crafting,
Lisa xx
