So here's my SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always had a super difficult time with change. I like things to stay the way they are. My parents always like to remind me of a story from when I was little....I guess when they would rearrange the furniture, I would lay on top of it and just cry. "Don't move it! It's fine the way it is!"




 

 Well, throughout the years as I've gotten older I've come to realize that CHANGE IS A GOOD THING! So I'm happy to announce my new blog "Every Day Is An Occasion".

I will still have "Jaihart", and there will be a page from Jaihart to Every Day.. and a page on Every Day to Jaihart. I will just be mostly on Every Day is an Occasion! So, I hope that you will still follow me...The Best is Yet to Be! I'm so excited about all the new things I have in store for YOU, my readers!

 Hope you have a SUPER fun day!

THANK YOU to Melin!

Thank you for joining us on our Thank YOU Melin blog hop! If you have come from my dear friend, Court from Courts Craft Corner, you are in the right place! I'm so happy you're here! 

I'm so excited to share this sweet little card for Melin! She is a GREAT leader! I have had so much fun on CWC Design Team! I cannot thank her enough for going out on a limb and inviting me to be on her design team. This is the first design team I have ever been on and what a SUPER experience it has been! I have really gained so many skills and best of all AMAZING friends! This is a bittersweet post for me because I'm so sad to say that I will not be returning in the fall with CWC. I LOVE this team, but I just know that it is time for me to leave. Thank you all for just being awesome craft friends, and THANK YOU MELIN for giving me this opportunity! I look forward to what is to come in my crafty future! I can't wait to share it with you all VERY SOON!....I have really been working hard on my surprise! It should be very soon when I can announce it!

For this card I used the cricut cartridge Tie the Knot. I used the "Thank You" from the invitation on the cartridge. Then the rest of it was from my scrapbox! Man, I love using my scrapbox! It helps me make my BEST cards! I used a Martha Stewart punch for the bottom, Doily, is the name I believe! That is my new favorite go to currently!

Please continue on with this hop and see what my SUPER CUTE friend Michelle has in store for you, here!

Have a SUPER fun day!

Here is the inside....I created an astro turf album and a Thank You card using one of Heidi's freebies from her website. You can check that out here.

They surprised me with a 3 page layout and a tutorial of my project! I didn't know they were going to do that! The fun thing about this favor is that each child created their own! It was an activity that we did at my son's birthday party last year! So excited and in shock to have this project published!
