Kindness

Hello Friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! We went bowling on Saturday to "Strike out Cancer" a fundraiser that my husband's co-worker invited us to attend. We had a great time, and it felt really good to give to such a worthy cause.

Today's post is all about kindness. With all the crazy news stories out there, it makes it hard to remember that people truly can be kind. I live my life filled with kindness, and it's amazing how far something as simple as a smile can go. Quick story...I stopped by CVS on my lunch break on Friday (they always have great prices on chocolate), while I was there the gentleman at the register mentioned that I had a nice smile. Not flirting or anything, just making a statement. When I got back to work I couldn't find my badge to get in, and that's never a good thing! I patiently waited for someone to let me in and when I got back to my desk, I decided to wait a little while before I made the dreaded call that I lost my badge, AGAIN! About 30 minutes later I received a phone call, and it was the gentleman from CVS. He told me that he found my badge and it would be in the manager's office when I pick it up. How nice was that!! I was completely surprised, and it just made me feel good to know that a total stranger was willing to go the extra mile to show kindness.

So, needless to say today's card is about kindness...

I posted this card on Instagram a few days ago (yes I'm on Instagram - carolscustomcards), and I wanted to make sure I posted it on the blog as well! Instagram is totally addicting, I absolutely cannot get enough! So many talented people out there with amazing cards and scrapbook pages, total eye candy!

 

I hope you have a great Monday and an awesome week! Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Rockin' Birthday

Hello Friends! Is it Monday already? Geez, do the weekends go by faster and faster, or is it just me? Well, although it went by in a flash, I had a really good weekend. We went to a wedding on Saturday and I absolutely LOVE weddings! We had a great time, and when I tell you we danced the night away, I mean it! They had a band at the reception and they were phenomenal! They played songs from Earth, Wind, and Fire to Bruno Mars, they were excellent! Needless to say, on Sunday we were a little sore and had really hard time getting out of bed, LOL! We don't bounce back as quick as we used to! Ahhh, the joys of getting older.

Today, I'm sharing a couple of birthday cards that were included in the set that I made for my co-worker awhile back. I pulled out my Keep on Rockin' stamp set from MFT and got to work.

I love those little ipods! I decided to make one a little more masculine than the other so my co-worker can use them for anyone's birthday. I think they turned out kinda cute! ;-)

 

Well, I guess I better get ready for work and slowly slide into another work week. Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by!
