Well I am soooo Sorry I missed you the last 2 weeks but I couldnt let this week go by with out
Wishing Each and Everyone of you A very Happy And Safe Holiday..
I Pray That during this time and the whole year thru that YAHWEH bless you and your Families each and every day..
It for me has been and INCREDIBLE Year, there have been some bumps in the ROAD but I am Truly Grateful for all that I have been Blessed with..
Earlier in the year.. My husband and I had planned to start a family together when he returns from Afghanistan, and it breaks my heart to say that has changed. My son and daughter who are deployed have helped better the lives of others that are in need..
My other sons have ventured into the world out on there own...
Sometimes we look back and reflect as to where we have been the obstacles we have overcome and the friends, family,and Faith to help us continue on..... I have realized how Truly Blessed I have been this Year by my God YAHWEH.
I have also realized that sometimes he answers our prayes when he sees fit... lol But rest assure all is always provided for the needs of the indivual... and I am hoping my prayers will be answered soon.
Thank you for being being apart of my life, for taking the time to share your precious friendship.. It means the world to me
SO I thank each and everyone of you from the center of my Heart. For being the ear to listen the person to share that happy mail. and to offer a kind word ...
Happy Holidays everyone whoo hoo, Cant believe the Holidays are here, well I am just super excited. This year I didnt put up a tree or decorate, didnt make a ginger bread house .. Because I thought I was going to be alone.. Well to my surprise 2 of my sons decided to come spent a bit of time with me this holiday so I got a turkey today yes today thawing it out now and got to crafting some cards.
YOU KNOW TGF is MY FAV .. yes they are my favorite stamp company so, but Ive been so busy Ive missed a few challenges.
well today I decided to go ahead and do something a little different for the Greeting Farm Christmas Wishes Challenge.
I decided to go with a Brown and Red, use the Deliliah Stamp a magnolia Tree die and Paper from the JOLLY- American Crafts Paper Pad.. I used the warm winter wishes stamp for my sentiment and for matting and base Recollections white and red card stock , I also used the Miss you Die from Die-Versions.
NOW WHAT MY WISH IS THIS HOLIDAY IS FOR MY LOVED ONES WHO ARE DEPLOYED AND OR NOT LIVING WITH ME ALWAYS KNOW I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM THIS HOLIDAY AND EVERY DAY!
I am also wishes all of you the same May YAHWEH bless you this holiday and everyday..
Ok now onto my card...
hope you like and leave me a little Christmas wish comment telling me what you thinK.
I love sweet comments
Hugs
Larelle-Susanne

Blessings
Larelle-Susanne and family

Ok Everyone its the Tuesday Blog event for the Friendly Crafters on Facebook. So for todays blog I wanted to share how I mailed my Holiday cards out for 4 Cents yes that is right 4 Cents. I mailed them NON DOMESTIC US MAIL..
I had made over 100+ Holiday Cards that I had to provide postage for so I really really needed to save money I found a few videos on YouTube that showed exactly how to mail a 1 OUNCE letter. I wasnt sure how much my holiday card weighed so to be sure I stuck on another stamp just to be safe it got there.. THIS Was not used for APO/AE ADDRESSES.
I am going to include the links below to the 3 youtuber videos that I got the info from as well as my own litte video and example pic
hopes this helps everyone save just a little bit of money, every penny counts and I am sure you all want to spend that postage money you will save on other crafty things.
I mailed them as follows This is an example:

Hi everyone just wanted to go ahead and share My favorite projects that I just love for Loves Rubber Stamps Design Team Call and share a little about me....
First My name is Larelle-Susanne Thoms, I am a Military Wife, Mother and a Nurse who loves to craft been doing it forever it seems like and I still love when I can create.. I do a vast variety of things, to include 3d cake baking, charms, altered items, layouts, crochet and right now my fav card making... just to name a few.... and if I forgot to mention I am going to be 30 Forever lol ...
I live on Fort Knox military post and my husband is deployed to Afghanistan so Right now I have lots and lots of time to craft and get my creativity going... I create something everyday as a stress relief after a severe back injury and usually set it aside for my son who is also deployed to afghanistan or my daughter who is deployed to Korea..Mail is a big thing.. So doing just a few cards or few crafty goodies each day helps them be reminded someone back home is missing them deeply... I also create cards and other goodies for nursing homes and deployed military.
Earlier in the year I was a guest Designer for Loves Rubber Stamps and it was just one of the biggest thrills for me. I would love to be on This Design Team for YOUR Fabulous Company. Its important to me to support companies who have quality customer service, great variety & quality products. Not only do I love Loves Rubber Stamps store I love the challenge blog, and it would be wonderful to be apart of such a great Design Team...
