#164 Anything Goes

Wow, where does the time go, not only is it Thursday once again, but it's the first Thursday of the month and it's 2013!!!! and since it is that first Thursday  it means it's Anything Goes at Mo's. Such an easy challenge for all of us.  I usesd this image called Baby Boy and made this card for my little peanut on his special day.  He was Christened a few weeks ago, and I thought this was a perfect image for him.  I used the suttle colors of greys, light blues and yellow and had to keep it as simple as I could after all it is for a boy...

  Here is the inside of the card

My Favorite Mo Cards

Over the year, I have made quite a few cards so it was so hard for me to pick out one favorite especially when it comes to a Mo Manning image after all they are so dang cute.  So since I had a hard time choosing a favorite, I decided to post a few... and these are them.. 

A special birthday for a special person. This one even

came with a matching box!!

This was made for one of the teachers that I work with and she holds a special place in my heart.  So it will always be a favorite to me.

This baby card was made for my Assistant Principals daughter

A last but not least, my St. Patrick's Day card for 

a dear friend.

Thanks so much for your support over this last year.  Your kind comments and words of encouragment has meant so much.    

May you and your loved ones enjoy this holiday season, and may this New Year bring only Peace, Love, and Happines..

"D" is for Decking the Halls

Please read this entire post  

I know it's long.....Sorry

Hey everyone, I am  back home after many weeks at my Brother and Sister-in-Law's. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes and let you know if feels good to be home especially with the holidays right around the corner.  The devistation is still all around in the Rockaways and it will take a long long time for things to return to "Normal"  but if feels good to be sleeping in my own bed.

This card  is a very special card, and I've made it with tears in  my eyes as will the next few cards that you will be seeing.  The kindness of strangers who have reached out to me has meant more to me than words can ever say.  Co-workers have purchased clothing and gift cards, Parents of students have also done the same and  I've had  complete strangers adopt me and send me gift cards to Bed Bath & Beyond to help replace many of the items that I lost that were in storage on the main floor of my lobby.  This was done by the suggestion of the teacher that I am mentioning below who is a marathon runner and coordinated the adoption so when she asked me to make a card, I jumped right in. 

She ran in the Cystic Fibrosis maraton and has reached out to the entire school to make cards for a 9 year old boy who is in his last stages of this terrible disease.  His final wish is to make the Guinese Book of World Records to receive the most holiday cards.  The record is 35,000 our students are working diligently making cards and I ask that you do the same.  It doesn't have to be a hand made card, it can be a store bought card, but can you please send him a card to make his final wish come true.  I don't ask for much  but this is the least I can do as a favor to her to reach out to you guys and ask for you to mention it on your blogs as well. Maybe we can all make this little boys wish come true.  

and with all that said and done, this is the card that I made for him  His name is Dalton Dingus and if you choose to mail him a card you can send it directly to him at Hc62 Box 1249, Salyersville, KY 41465

and now a little about my card, as you know this weeks theme is "D" so I used Decorated Tree which you can find
HERE and Santa Kai which you can find HERE

 and Mo is having her first ever holiday sale with 25% off your entier order so don't delay, cause this holiday sale ends on December 17th.  The coupon code is CHEERS2U.

I hope I inspired someone to join in on the fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with, just don't for get to use one of Mo's images. If you need more inspiration don't forget to visit the rest of the teams blogs they really out did themselves and came up with some great ideas just click HERE to see what they came up with and as Pat always says, don't forget to leave them a little love.

#160 C is for

Well, It's Thursday, and it's time for a new challenge at Mo's and we thought we'd try something new.  So for this week we went with the letter "C".   So for me C is for, Cute Cat Costume.  I did this as a commissioned card for someone to give to a new mom who's birthday is on Halloween.  It is a card from a Baby to a Mom.  So I though that the sentiment I came up with was appropriate from a little one...  Anyway, I used adorable littleKitty Kai which you can find
HERE and HERE

Sandy's Destruction of Rockaway

These are some of the pictures of Shore Front Parkway, the street where I live.  The blocks are short and all this is walking distance from my house.  I did not take these pictures but someone named Stephen Pekar did and I downloaded them so you can see the massive destruction.  They are not expected to restore electricity  until mid December.  The Mayor finally said that Rockaway was the hardest hit area in New York.  About time you realized there are 4 other boroughs besides Manhattan.

The end building of my complex which with the boardwalk smashed into it there are 5 building next to each other, mine is the the the third one and had pieces of the boardwalk on it also

The basket ball court covered in sand where my son Michael played al the time

One of the hand ball courts

This is the complex where one of the teachers I work with lives

This is where I turn to go over the bridge to go to work

This is Beach 91st Street where I first lived when I got married and both  my boys were born.  As you can see, it is
 un-passable since the boardwalk with street light attached is blocking it. This is on Shore Front Parkway where I live now but only a few block up the road.

No more Boardwalk as you can see

The building next to me

These are just some of the blocks around me.  Like I said I am fine, my family is fine.  Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Lots of hugs

Debbie
