Pretty in Pastel

Good Morning Everyone!
This week is spring break for most of the kiddos around here, so I thought I would 'follow the crowd' and join in. The kids are excited to have a break .... and so am I :D.
It is rainy and yucky today, so I expect we will 'chill' and just do whatever we feel like doing.
Maybe I will get some baking in. I vow not to spend the whole day cleaning though!
I do not like cleaning in the rain.
Is that weird?
Anyway, I made this card using Hannah Belle with chick.
I had one Friday night, but had gotten my new skin color prismacolor markers since then and was dying to try them out. I
think I like the way they worked better than my now dried up copics.
They look so pretty and smooth.

Also, I was asked by a sweet friend of mine to join her team for the TGF Card Battle. This one was all about Going Retro. We need your votes (comments) to stay in the game. We would love it if you could go to this card and make a comment so that we can stay in this battle! Christa made this awesome card for this challenge.

Last but not least, my wonderfully sweet friend, Sandra (Rose Petal Creations) left me this award on her blog. She is the one who is always leaving the best comments and takes time out of her day to make so many smile. She is the one who deserves this award. Thank you so much for sharing it with me!
I am supposed to say 10 things about me .. why is this so hard?
1. I love the Lord. I still can not imagine how he loves me with all the wrong I do, but he does ... always... and never leaves me. He died on the cross for MY sin so that I could be saved. He loved me (and you) that much!
2. I love my children, my husband, my family. I am SO BLESSED and thank God daily for each of them.
3. My friends ... I never had friends growing up. I had 'friends for the moment'. I am so blessed to have met so many here in the blog world that have showed so much love and kindness... pray for me and my family and are just always there.
4. My church family and having a place to worship. 5. Being able to homeschool my children.

I will leave my 'about me' (which turned into my blessings) to just 5. Thank you for visiting me today.
Have a wonderful Monday.
