Dream A Litte Dream of Me

It is June which means Summer time fun, my hubby's birthday and my monthly Homemaker Tag. This month's tag is titled "Dream a Little Dream" for my wonderful hubby.  We met 12 years ago at work I had lost my mom a year before meeting him and my son was 8, I had given up on men or a happy ending so I stopped looking.  When I first met him I didn't really like him, but as time went by I started to get a crush on him. He was with me when I lost my father and my beloved aunt he has held my hand when I was scared and let me fly when I needed to.  He has helped to shape me into the woman I am and has loved me without question, though sometimes he wonders what he did to deserve me. He is my dream come true.  So I decided to make this tag with him in mind..the background is from a German Opera to symbolize his time in Germany in the Army. The woman is me with my butterfly wings flying into his heart. So Happy Birthday to you honey and to all who are celebrating this month. Dream a Little Dream with Me.

So a new year begins and with it comes the possibility of what can be achieved this time.   Goals to be meet creative idea to exchange and aspire to.  So I begin this year with open eyes, heart and with my soul outstretched to let the light shine in.  I have joined a Tag Swap hosted by one of the very first blogs I read when I began my journey into the craft realm, Elizabeth of Bluebird Papercrafts with her gift for storytelling, vintage take on crafts has inspired me so much.  Each month I will try my hand at a new tag to reflect my take on the months, but also a reflection of the journey I am taking.  The rules are to purchase once a set of paper then use that and whatever you have on hand throughout the year. I am using the K&C Company Daydreams pad and I choose this because of the cartoon whimsy to collaborate with my women, kind of like something old and something quirky just like me. I also am using whatever I have socked away in my file cabinet that have been collectin

It is on this holiday I miss my mother and father I miss her contagious laughter as my dad would come home from work with flowers and candy.   He would come up behind her give her a little tap on her bottom t
