Travelin'

I'm heading off to Illinois to see family tomorrow. I'll get to see my sister who will be flying in from Germany, so I'm super excited for that! Yay!! ♥ And, I look forward to seeing the cousins, their families and my Aunt & Uncle who all live out there, as well. But, I'll also have to see my Grandmother. She's not the nicest woman in the world and it makes it tough to be around her.

The whole reason we're getting together is for her 90th birthday "celebration". What a hoot! Sorry to sound so cynical. She's made my life quite difficult at times. In fact, I made Easter cards to bring to the family, but she won't be getting one. Why? Because she's the type of person who'd say, "What? You couldn't afford to buy me a nice card?" instead of appreciating all the effort the goes into making one for her.

So...I made some Easter cards. They turned out to be much harder than I expected. Quite labor intensive. AND...I made a card for my dear friend Kristy in Canada who's having a birthday on the 3rd of April. But, I'm NOT posting pics...nope. Sorry! I can't have Kristy seeing her card before her b-day now, can I? And, as far as the Easter card goes, well, I got the entire idea from the wonderfully talented Gina K (of Gina K Designs). If you want to see (basically) what my card looks like, check out a link to HER card which is the original and should receive the credit. Gina K Easter Card

See ya when I get back and wish me luck!
