Love You Forever Dad!

For those of you who have been my followers from my previous 2 blogs, you know that I took a break from blogging to take care of my Dad.  I'm so sad to share that Dad passed away on March 29, 2013.   He did not give up without a fight, but it was his time.  Dad was 92 - just short of his 93rd birthday (May 10).
We had an awesome caregiver, Tobie, who eventually moved in to help me take care of Dad, I still had little time to do my crafting or much of anything else besides going to work.  My monthly classes came to a standstill and I ran out of energy every night after all was said and done and Dad was in bed.  It was all worth it though.  I was blessed with so many wonderful memories of my Dad that I hold dear to my heart.
Just wanted to share a collage I made to remember my Dad.  He was truly my hero, who taught me so much and molded me into the person I am today.  I am so thankful.  I love you Dad!  I'm so happy that you are now in peace and that you are reunited with Mom.  I can see both of you holding hands and catching up!
Thank you for reading my post and letting me dedicate a post to my Dad...I will be posting some of my Easter projects and hopefully more current projects!

Holiday 2012 Class Projects!

Oh my goodness, I just realized that I started this new blog so long time ago!  These posts were still in draft and I guess I was so busy with Dad that I never posted them.  I decided to just go ahead and post them anyway since I already had my posts started.  Hope you don't mind seeing holiday projects in April!

This card was made with a 3x3 envelope inside.  You could put a little note card inside or maybe some $
Here is the inside

Another fun giftcard holder.  This was the bonus project!
That's it for this post!  I gotta get back into the swing of blogging!
