EAD Weekly Steal 7/23- it's gorgeous!
This piece of vinyl is a stunner! Better get it before it's gone forever! :)
Don't forget about the DT call, which ends in two days! Check it out here on the blog.
News in my little corner of the world.... Meghan arrived safely in Chicago. In some ways it was easier than sending Kara off, but I still have a huge piece of my heart missing. They left 5 months apart, which still astonishes me. The dynamics of our home has been overturned twice in such a short period of time. I haven't stopped missing Kara, but it does get a bit easier once we can have contact. The Navy has two very special women in their fleet and I hope they know it! hahahaha
Kenny's surgery went well. he actually came home from the hospital yesterday, 2 days earlier than expected. He's in a lot of pain, but it's more surgery pain, not like before. He's been up walking a bit and is doing well. His recovery is going to be about a year, and he'll have to re-train himself to walk differently since he's been overcompensating for the pain for years now, but I am sure he'll be feeling like a new man soon. It sure beats suffering through the work day and then coming home to spend all his downtime in bed. This is how it's been for months now, and it's no way to live.
As for me, I have a new job as of yesterday. Hobby Lobby is coming to WA, and I just happened to get hired to work in the scrapbooking area! I am excited... not so much that it's another retail job, because I really want to get something better, but I do not have any formal training in anything so until I can get off to College, which I hope to start sometime this year. The hours are what attract me the most. Closed Sundays! Wohoo! A day that I will be able to spend with my family! It's been hard not having a weekend day off for over a year where we are all together. I never got a Sunday off at Target, except for the 3 I requested off. HL also closes at 8PM, which isn't all that bad. It beats closing at 10PM and then staying until 11 or so, and even later once the holiday season kicks in. I can handle getting off work even as late as 9, but it's anything after that that wears me down.
My rambling is over... I am exhausted emotionally, but have a new sense of energy and am feeling good about things for the first time in months. It's been a rough year for us and I hope this is the beginning of good things. At least I know that the three precious girls we have left in our house will not be flying the nest for several years. Maybe by the time Emily is ready to fly, my heart will have healed a bit from this year. ;)
Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Have a beautiful week. It's going to be a busy one here. Meghan leaves for Navy boot camp on Wednesday and my dh, Kenny, is having back surgery on the same day. I cannot believe that I am sending another girl off to the Navy... it's only been 5 months since Kara left. I am so very proud, but Kleenex is loving us. lol

Shut up! and other fun EAD news
EAD is now available for purchase at Paper Maniac! How cool is that? I must admit that I have not heard of them before, but after checking out the site and goodies in the store, I foresee a shopping trip in the near future!
I made a card using bits and pieces from three sets of Stickerz. The strip uses the Damask Background, and the sentiments are from the Yippee Sentiments and the Saying Hello Sentiments.

who loves ya card- EAD Stickerz
Today I have an easy way to customize a pre-made card using EAD Stickerz. I picked up this cute set of owl cards in the dollar spot at Target the other day and I knew immediately that I wanted to add a sentiment from EAD to finish it off.
To do so, I simply glued a piece of DMC Floss to the card to give something for the owl to hold. I then adhered a sentiment from the hoot a Licious Stickerz set to cardstock, cut around each letter and then adhered each letter to the floss to create a banner effect. I also adhered an epoxy button to give a little extra pop. 15 minutes top, and most of that was cutting around each letter.
How would you like a chance to be on the most amazing DT ever?! EAD is having a DT call. Here are all the details. :)
Have a beautiful day! Tomorrow is the EAD Blog Hop, so be sure to come back and see what the DT has been working on this week. I also have several more cards to share this week featuring the oh-so-fabulous Stickerz.

EAD Blog Hop Monday
Hello! :) EAD is constantly evolving, and we are going to start doing a blog hop each Monday instead of just once a month, There are also some more fun and exciting changes coming soon, so please stay informed by visiting the EAD blog.
The theme for July is red, white, and blue and I have a project to share that incorporates the new Stickerz as well as a fabulous BlockArt piece. The Stickerz are so easy to add the perfect finishing details to. I applied them to patterned paper, trimmed to shape and then added glitter glue and puff paint to add some pizzazz. I even adhered the flag to a toothpick to give it some added dimension. This piece can be displayed year round, so don't be afraid to grab some seasonal EAD Vinyl and see what you can create.
You might have come to my blog via Jenn's amazing blog, if not be sure to head on over to the EAD Blog to complete the entire hop to be entered to win a fun prize. We also have a guest designer this month, the wonderful Beatriz.
