Day 2 of Creepmas
I'm back with a new card for creepmas!! Today is a Smeared Ink day which means that we are challenged to use only Smeared Ink images on our projects. For this project I used an image from an older Smeared Ink set. I honestly can't remember the name. It's a rubber set and I am not sure if they still offer it or not. They now have a rubber stamp club so I can't search for it on their site. Maybe someone who is still on the DT will have more info. A lot has changed with the site since I left the DT... LB, BD, Terra, Tori, anyone!! LOL
Anyway it is one of my favorite sets for the holidays!

Dilly Beans Not A Card challenge
I have for you today a project I made for myself actually, when I saw this weeks Dilly Beans Challenge Not A Card, I knew I wanted to make a book mark and I also knew that I needed a break from fall colors!!! LOL I love Fall, the smell the colors the everything but I needed to color something that wasn't a fall color and I chose to make a book mark because I have a stack of books waiting to be read and I don't want it to get any bigger!!! Lot's of reading for me when the kids are on school break!!!
I love this flower and the colors are about as far away from fall colors as I could get!!! LOL Don't worry though, tomorrow will be back to the normal and Fall will be in the air again!!!

Thankful for those who served blog hop
Hey guys, I am back today with another blog hop with Leslierhaye and the gang! This month we are doing a thankful for those who served hop and I don't really have a project to show you just a story about our time in the Navy! We have been retired now for almost 4 years(February 2014) and I am very thankful for that! Although I have to say, civilian life is not quite as much fun as military life, in terms of friendships and that feeling of community, at least not where we are living now, but OH SO THANKFUL for the job!!!
Anyway when my kidlings were younger every time their daddy would go away for any length of time we would make paper chains and hang them around the house. We would start the chain with as many links as the days he would be gone and then everyday we would take one off! It was really lots of fun to see their little faces get excited about the chain getting shorter!! We would take strips of papers, any paper really whatever they found important at the time, printer paper, anything!! If they brought it to me on the chain making roundup day we worked it into the chain somehow! I miss those days, my babies are 18 and 14 now!! Anyway, we would tear or cut the papers into strips and then glue, tape, or staple them together! Then we would hang them around the house, the longer the chain, the more rooms it went into, the shorter the fewer! One year their daddy was supposed to be deployed for 5 months, so we made the chain with as many days as necessary and hung it and said see ya soon to daddy, never goodbye, and he left and we started our daily ritual of pulling one link off! Then three weeks before daddy was to come home we woke up to some horrible news reports on 9/11... Now on an aircraft carrier you get almost daily emails, especially when the hubby/daddy has an office...or those weekly phone calls that are so so so very very coveted!!! and you look forward to each and everyone of those... so when you see what is happening on the television and you run to the computer to check emails and send one off to the man and it comes back right away as not deliverable, and you send it again and again it comes back immediately you know something is up!! So you try to be normal and send the oldest off to school and get the youngest ready for his first day of pre-school but you know something is WRONG!!! So I got the little one home from preschool and down for his nap after lunch and the phone starts ringing, it's your father, your sister, your mother-in-law and you have no answers to the one single question they all asked, Is Steven still coming home? All I could say was I will let you know as soon as I know!! Then the phone call from the ombudsman, for those of you who don't know what she does, she is the one person, usually a woman who can stay in contact with the ship at all times, the one you depend on in times like these, usually the captain's wife, or the XOs wife, anyway she calls with the message, no communication until further notice and no return until further notice. Your heart falls, for several reasons, because this has happened and it shouldn't have, because your husband isn't coming home as soon as you thought, because you can't send him the daily emails of how things at school and home went and the little tell daddy what we had for dinner, or tell him what I made at school, because your heart is hurting and the one person who helps make everything better isn't there, but mostly because you don't know how to explain things to the kidlings... You have no words to tell the 6 year old why there is a plane in the building on TV except to turn the TV off and say it's mean people doing mean things, the 2 year old just want to watch Blue's Clues...you have not idea how to tell them that this time, we have to stop taking the links off the chain until mommy know more information, and absolutely no idea how to make their hearts heal when you tell them that daddy will not be home when we thought he was going to be home and that you have no idea when daddy will be home!!!
What I meant by I miss the friendships and sense of community of the military and a military town is this, during these times when you live 36 hours away from your closest family all you have are the women, men and children who are living right next to you going through the same things you are going through and somehow they become your family, they become the closest friendships you will ever have and will ever keep. Paper chains remind me of this!
Now I was going to make a paper chain to show you but I figured you all knew what one was so I found some awesome pictures on Google for you to go and check out!!
Enjoy the rest of the hop and whenever you make a paper chain or see a paper chain, remember it may have been made to count down the days until someone comes home!

Day 30 of 31 and Hump Day Hop
Hey guys, today is the last Wednesday of the month and you know what that means, Hump Day(said like the commercial with the camel!!) hop by Bombshell Stamps!!!
Alison set for our theme this month Witching Hour. I immediately knew I wanted to use the Halloween Costume Digi set for Bombshell Angel, I just didn't know what else I wanted to do with her!!! So I am working on other projects and remember this partial quote from a Shakespeare writing and thought it would be great to use!!! Some say that this is where the term Witching Hour came from, but no one really knows for sure!!! Anyway here is my project:

Here is the whole Soliloquy from Hamlet:
Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood,
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quake to look on. Soft! now to my mother.
O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever
The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom:
Let me be cruel, not unnatural:
I will speak daggers to her, but use none;
My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites;
How in my words soever she be shent,
To give them seals never, my soul, consent!
