We are in Seattle for a couple of days. No cards to post they are saved to my laptop at home and I am working off of Craigs. We are posting for the boys on their blog though. Have a happy week.

Just a quick post here I posted to the kids blog and thought that I should add a picture here also. This is intended as a wedding type card. It turned out sparkly. It is always surprising to me when you sit down with one idea in your head and something completely different comes out. It wasn't what I had in mind when I started but I do like the final outcome. I was also surprised to find that I don't have any wedding stamps. I guess I will have to work on that oops sorry Craig. Thanks for looking.

Ok here it is this is what I have been working on the past week. I just couldn't get it the way that I wanted it. I think that it is done now and I think I am happy with it. What do you think?



This is a little closer so that you can see the white paper I used is actually the diamond paper. I used my favorite paper pattern Rockabilly and of course my favorite stamp set Just Jawing. I was up early this morning so I decided to finish this up and take pictures. Now I am in the mood to stamp again. Maybe I will have something more to add sooner this time. Well we are off to run some errands hope everyone is looking forward to a fun, relaxing, exciting, busy or whatever you have planned long weekend.

Thanks for looking.

I made this composition book with Jen in mind. She loves purple and she also looooves Eeyore. I just covered the pen in colored beads to match. I thought that it turned out cute. I think that I will make one with my Just Jawing set and Rockabilly paper next. Yep completely addicted to that set that is all I really want to use now. I am supposed to be cleaning the boys rooms today. I hate cleaning my own room but the boys are even worse. At least my room is partially my mess. And I have decided that boys do smell worse then girls. I'm sure that I will hear otherwise from them later when they read this but I am sticking with my statement. The boys are trying to decide what they want to do for their birthday parties this year. Jacob informed me on the way to school that he would like to take his whole class to Disneyland. I suggested we not do that. Jacob is my dreamer he also wants to buy the tent that we see set up in Sam's club just because it has a dog door in it. I explained that our dog is way to big to fit through that little door. He has solved that problem. He says we can just buy a dog for our dog and then leave Jumba home and only take the little one. Funny thing is Jumba would just eat a little dog and then we still wouldn't have a little dog for his tent and camping trip. He is funny. Zach is in the middle of testing for the end of the school year. He is handling it very well and very excited that he was invited to attend to program again next year. Jacob has been accepted in the school as well he will be in the regular program. It will make my life a lot easier and cut about forty minutes a day off of my travel time to and from the schools. Yeah. I will also have the whole day to myself starting next year. Makes me a little sad but I am more excited. Maybe I will have to fly to Disneyland all by myself for a birthday party for me;) Just kidding. Well kindof. Thanks for looking and hope that everyone is having a great day and enjoying this absolutely gorgeous weather.

My mom just finished and brought us this very pretty afghan that she has been making for Craig and I. Isn't it pretty I really like the way that it turned out. Craig picked the colors (old Jazz colors) and I really like the way that they turned out. She did a wonderful job and we love it. Can't wait for the snow to start flying again so we can put it to some good use:) Just kidding we are excited to have it but can wait for the snow. Thanks again mom we love it.

Not much in the way of excitement is going on around here I have been in a creative slump. I am still feeling the effects of my cold so I am blaming that. We read the Screwtape Letters in book club this month. And I have to admit I put it off and then it was to heavy a read to finish while I was sick. So that is now at the top of my list of things to do. Hope everything is going well for everyone out there. And thanks for looking.

ok it was teacher appreciation week this week and I totally forgot until I was dropping Zach off at school and saw all of the kids walking in with flowers. So I went home and made these picture frames and added the flower to them. This was my interpretation of flower day. I chose eeyore because Zach's cute teacher loves eeyore. This is very similar to a card that I made with eeyore on it before (it is in the blog history) so it made it a little quicker to get do. Craig is home from Jackson Hole and it is our 12th wedding anniversary today. Happy Anniversary sweetie!! I have a major cold and am feeling a little snotty :) today. Haha. It kind of bugs me that I am sick but I was thinking that I can be greatful since this is the first cold I have had all year. Usually I get at least one or two in Jan and Feb. So yeah I guess. Hope everyone is doing good and thanks for looking.

This card here was a very fun card to make. I think that the next one that I make though is going to be round I have seen some really cute ones that are round. Hope everyone had a great easter. We did I don't think I have posted since then. I made some really cute (or at least I think they are) picture frames for the kids for teacher appreciation week yesterday. It was supposed to be something involving a flower so I decorated a frame and put a flower on it. I will try and get the picture posted in the next couple of days. We read The Secret Life of Bees in book club last month. If you haven't read this book I highly recommend it. The movie is also a must watch. Queen Latifah is one of my favorite actresses and I thought that the part seemed like it was written for her. I enjoyed both the book and movie a lot. I even made my husband watch the movie with me one day and he said it wasn't bad. Which is a really good response coming from him about a chick flick. Hope everyone is doing good and thanks for looking.
