ON A LIGHTER NOTE!

Ok, so yesterday was a culmination of a very bad month! Today has begun a NEW month! I forgot to mention yesterday that the twins turned 4 on Easter Sunday!!! HOW COULD I FORGET?!?!? Oh yeah, it's because we did much of nothing for them poor things because everybody was so very sick! We have yet to celebrate with family therefore, eve though we gave them their gifts, they did not get their requested cakes yet and do not feel we have celebrated properly! LOL Aren't 4 year olds funny? Thy now proceed to ask me every day when are we going to get our Pooh Bear with a Balloon and our Ariel cakes? LOL Your guess is as good a mine. :) We were suppose to have the entire family over for an Easter lunch and egg hunt! That did not happen! I will let you know when it does! :)

Today is now laundry day! Have you ever been in a house where 5 people live and the laundry has not been officially done in a week? WELL, try 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I think I am down to about 4 loads left, not counting the ones in the washer and dryer, they are considered done since they are no longer on the floor! LOL I am cracking myself up today! Miss Suzy is coming today, she will help immensely. She is the only reason I have not disappeared in the midst of the last month into a deep, dark, black hole! But she is sick with allergies now, so we will have to cut her some slack. :) Even with her at 50% she accomplishes more than I can in a full day! She is my home's, lifesaver! :)

Anyway, don't forget to follow and don't forget the specials this week. I think they end on Friday!

Have a great day!

What is Traditions From The Heart and Why?

Traditions From the Heart is exactly as it sounds. Everything is heartfelt and has everything to do with the family. I am antique at heart. I love old wood stuff and the clean crisp lines of mission design. You know, the furniture that is so heavy you cannot move it once you have picked the spot in the room to put it, but it looks beautiful with florals, swirls or straight lines, and old quilt or a brand new custom made fluffy feather comforter. This makes me smile. I also LOVE ORDER and adore those who can pull it off. :) In other words I spend everyday, trying to reach the goal of having some sort of order and organization in my life. If I do not have a list I will never get anything accomplished, but with a list, I know I can conquer the world! :) It is those days that I forget the list that NOTHING GETS ACCOMPLISHED! Please, tell me you can relate! :)

3 years ago, I started a company called Traditions From The Heart. I love graphic design, and all things that come with it. I had twins the year before and had been a teacher before starting a family with our first daughter in 02. I have always loved pictures, and scrap booking. Graphic design just let's me take those two loves to a whole new level! You will find that the design process is the part I LOVE the most! I love to receive the pictures and see what the card turns into. The transformation is beguiling and exhilarating all at the same time. You can visit the site at http://www.BeautifulBabyBirthAnnouncements.com Feedback is always appreciated and more than that tell your friends about us. Everything is custom, so look at the site as suggestions. Often times, once I receive your photos, and the design takes on a whole new look. My second favorite part is my customers. :) I feel like I know each of them personally. It is a fun process, designing your personal cards and stationery, so join the fun and see where it leads you! :)

I turned 37 last year and my hormones have been crazy for about 2 years! I am finally in good hands and getting everything straightened out! It is a good feeling. Even more than that, it is great feeling good for the first time in a long time. :) If you can relate, once again, feel free to share!! LOL As a result of feeling better, I do plan on being more organized and even more creative than in the past! :) Can you imagine?!?!? Even more creative than I have been? How can that be?!?!? :) Well, when the brain clears a whole new world seems to open up! :) Be on the lookout for new additions in the invitation section and the wedding line. :) Totally exciting stuff to come. Follow my blog and get your friends to as well and I promise I will update often! :)
