Getting creative

Hello!  How was everyone's weekend?  First off -  I had a great Friday night over at Glad Tidings Church to kick off Jeff Booth's  CD release.   We had a wonderful time of worship.   Best part is that I got to meet my blog friend Becky Novacek & her husband Tom.  Becky is such a sweetie & I really admire her talent, friendliness, authenticity and faith!  I hope to take a photography class from her one day.   It was a treat just to finally meet her in the flesh!
Saturday I had lunch with my mom and we had some nice "girl time" chatting and catching up.  I always treasure time with just me and Mom!
Later in the weekend I decided to head to TJ Maxx to see what bargains I could scrape up.  All the holiday & winter stuff was already picked over.  I was trying to find some nice dress pants for work but came up empty-handed in that area.  Instead I found myself a nice modern white/cream lamp for my bedside table.   Only $20. Score!

I also spent lots of time scouring the Michael's store for cute Valentine's stuff.  I found the adorable K & Company chipboard set pictured.  Monkey's are so cute & I decided to use the little monkey inside for a card exchange I'm doing with Amy & Alfredo.  I'm so excited to do my first exchange! 

Alfredo is the cutest and Amy is a testament of how God works in wonderous ways to open doors when all seems lost. I know she's enjoying her time with that little guy and getting a valentine from them both will totally touch my heart...
