Shell-Ebrating YOU

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!
How have you guys been??? As you know
I was on Spring Break all last week and I
had plans to stay home and craft! Well...

That just NEVER happened! We ended up
running around every day last week... Finally,
 on Sunday, I was able to sleep in and just rest
after a crazy busy week. So now I'm trying to
play blogger catch up with all of you --

I'm hoping for Easter break in about
a week and a 1/2 that I'll be able to stay home
and maybe get some crafting done --
That is my goal... so we shall see!

In the meantime, I did have fun, Vegas
was a blast for the Hubby & myself
we got to visit with Family & friends
we hadn't seen in awhile and I got to
eat at Giordano's (my FAVORITE) Chicago
Pizza place! I knew they had one Downtown
 and we've eaten there... But going Downtown
was not something we wanted to do again...
We lived in Las Vegas so downtown is more
for the tourist which we are not! So...

While out and about getting ready to grab Brunch with
our oldest son I noticed they had opened a NEW
Giordano's Pizza off of Charleston & Rampart
I was screaming with excitement and my hubby
was totally on board with us eating there
for his Birthday Dinner... We met up with one of my
Good close friends and enjoyed the BEST PIZZA
in the world!! - Which made for an Excellent
Birthday weekend!! 

We'll be heading back to Vegas in April
for his Dr. appt and trust me when I say
Giordano's will be at the top of our list
for eating Lunch or dinner while we're there!

Anywho... Enough about my crazy week -

I do have a card to share - I made it about 2 weeks
ago and thought you might like to see it --


Isn't it just ADORABLE??

That IS adorable! and I love the stencil background. It adds just the right amount of fun and takes up some of that white space. I love that you matched the colors to the striped paper strip.
