Celebrations

Happy Monday. I hope your weekend was a good one. Sorry for the lack of posts. Things have been a bit crazy around here. Emilia started a new homeschool highschool program called Keystone last week. So far she really likes it. I ended up getting a big order on Etsy for birthday invitiations that had to be done in 5 days and my Silouette started cutting wrong in the middle of the process. I was freaking out because I also kept losing paper and there was not enough time to order more. Thankfully I was finally able to get them all cut by turning the machine off and only cutting a few at a time. After speaking with Silouette they had me do an update and it seems to be working better now. My Vagabond also decided to give me trouble last week too. The button that makes it work kept getting stuck. It seems to be working okay again now though. Finally to top it all off my only VCR that I use to do Tai Chi stopped working. I am hoping a good cleaning will fix it but the cleaning tape I ordered came damaged so I have to wait for a new one. Hopefully this week will be less hectic and things will stop breaking.
Today I am celebrating 2 things.

First it is my sisters birthday. She means the world to me so I wanted to make her a very special card. She loves roses so when I saw this card I knew it would be perfect for her. I made a few changes on mine though. I used Mat Stack 5 instead of 4 and added a Happy Birthday Sentiment  and a pearl. I won't see her until Thursday but I think she is going to really like it.
Also 5 years ago today I started this blog. It is hard to believe that much time has gone by since then. I have not been able to blog as much as I have in the past but still enjoying doing it when I can and am thankful for all of you that still take the time to stop by and  read it. That's all for now. I hope the rest of your week is a great one.
