Bless This Nest at BBTB2!


Hi Everyone and hope your having a Great Memorial Day! McCade went to sing today at the Elk Spring Cemetery for Memorial Day to Honor our fallen Soldiers and it is always such a surreal feeling that I get when he does these things because it really puts life into perspective as to what our "Freedom" really means and at what cost to some of these amazing soldiers that gave their lives for our Freedom. And having had a
Father who was in the Navy and a Husband that was in the Marines, I feel very blessed that I had the opportunity to spend the mourning honoring them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Now on to a lighter note.............................Let's go To The HOP, Oh Baby! Let's go To The HOP!
Well if you've arrived here from the BBTB2 blog hop, Welcome! This weeks challenge was to use the Sweethearts Cartridge and use the "Bless this Nest" phrase and I decided to do another Layout. I had so much fun last week with the layout that I wanted to do another and I wanted to use the darling little birdies.  This is what I came up with. (Minus the pics.) We built our own little house, with the knowledge and help from my Brother and our Dear Nieghbors (and it's still a work in process LOL) Pictures will grace these pages as soon as I find them LOL! Most all the cuts were from the Sweethearts cart and also used Straight from the Nest for the clothes line, birds nest, grass and flowers. Now.....................   
You might have came here from my amazing DT sister Jeannie's blog, her cards are so beautiful and the insides are just as beautiful as the outside! (Don't you just LOVE her amazing creations) And such a Sweetheart!
Now...........................................
  Now if you are interested in some blog candy from me then all you need to do is be a follower and "Show The Love" and leave a comment below. If I've inspired you I would Love to have you as a follower. Only  one entry will be entered, (you are welcome to leave more love if you like but you'll only get one chance, Hee Hee) I will do a drawing in 1 week (June 7th) and you need to contact me within a week or I will do another drawing.
Now..........................

Next stop on the blog hop is Donna's blog. Boy you are in for a treat! You'll love my wonderful DT sister's beautiful blog, she does amazing things with paper and whatever else she can get her hands on LOL! Hope you enjoyed your visit, I sure had a blast with you all for my first blog hop and look forward to getting to know you all. Don't forget to enter the challenge over at the BBTB2 blog and also the beginning of the blog hop. Thanks for stopping by and have fun hopping!
Woo Hoo Blog Candy!!!!!! Good Luck Everyone!

    I love this layout. The detail is great, the feel of it (to me, it has a 50s feel - when everything was friendly and safe) and just the overall look.
    Thanks for the inspiration and for the chance of some great candy :)
