I went with a nice, clean and crisp - blank card

which I'll be able to send to my son while he

is in boot camp at Parris Island.

He leaves on Father's Day.

I do believe the next few weeks/months will be

bittersweet for our family.  Our oldest turns 18 on

May 23rd, graduates from High School on June 7th,

and leaves for boot camp on June 17th.

We are so very very proud of him for the 

young man that he has become and the choice

that he has made to serve in the

United States Marine Corps.

I spent this weekend looking at pictures of him since

he was born...quite an overwhelming experience.

I don't know about all of you, but I'm SO

glad it's Friday!  It's been an exhausting week, and

I'm ready for a bit of R&R!!!

The challenge this week over at Raise the Bar

is to make a Mother's Day card - easy enough, right?

I decided to pull out my poor lonely Verve stamps.

I've not inked them up in such a long time.

here is my card -

I just love simple cards like this, I can whip them up

in a couple of minutes!  Sometimes it's nice to be able to

do that!  Be sure to check out what the other

bartenders have done -
