class card 1

 
This is a card I made for a class I'm have on Feb 1st. I origionally was going to make it red but my mom loves blue (and yes she's coming) so the flower pulls out and can be used as a bookmark.

What I've been doing all week....

The kids have been sick all week (except Bailey) Scott started it last week and then Micah got it Friday, Maddi on Sunday and some where in the mix I got it too! Ethan on the other hand has "the fifth disease" He'll tell you I have a rash, head to toe" and all he does is itch. The best part is we know no one who has it so we are clueless where he got it from! Anyways besides DR. appts we really havent done to much this week! Well Scott did go back to work on Wed. so there is and happy moment this week, and yes I miss him already. With the below zero temps he has done nothing but unthaw pipes he got home after 7pm last night and the neighbor called to say her pipes were frozen and this morning my sister called to say her pipes broke (he's a plumber by the way) and also another neighbor called this morning for him too. Plus work called him in cuz they are so buisy. So he is making up for lost time. Anyways thats my week in a nutshell! Off to clean up the kitchen, Fun, Fun!

Well I thought I would let everyone know some bitter sweet news no its not life altering but it is important to me....I have completely mixed emotions about it. I went into pending this last week with my SU demonstratorship. which means I didn't meet my minimum (by $46) I couldn't justify spending money on stamps instead of Christmas for my kids and family. If you've read my blog you know my hubby isn't working because of a car accident. I have until the end of January to sell $146, not gonna happen. I called Stampin Up! and they said I can ask for a one time extention which will give me until the end of Feburary but I will have to come up with the full $300 worth of sales or my demonstratorship will be terminated. I have been a demonstrator for over 3.5yrs so I am pretty bumming, but I said bitter sweet because i have wanted to really focus on my scrapbooking and losing this will let me do that. I'm even thinking of signing up as a Creative Memories Consultant (sells scrapbooking stuff for those who don't know) They are having a sale soon that you can sign up for only $70! So we'll see. God always has a reason for things, right?

Hello everyone,
I have such an absolutly HUGE headache! It was little yesterday and it has just been building everytime I think it can't get any bigger it does. Tylenol is not touching it. So next I'll try Ibprofin (is that how its spelled?) anyways, basically I'm not feeling so hot and even though its after 9pm the kids still seem to have endless energy! I finished my scrapbook page for my challenge today so I came to post it! I hate the pics of me but I have learned to just accept those types of pics and use them anyways (otherwise there would never be any pics of me in my scrapbooks!) So drum roll please............J/K


It kinda looks more like a Feburary page cuz of the colors and the heart but its not and I love these colors together. What do u think?

scrapbook Autumn frame

I made this for my living room wall with the plan to make a new scrapbook page every season to put in it and one for holidays too and when I take them out to put the next seasons in I was going to just put them in a scrapbook well Christmas came and went and I was so buisy it never happened so I am determined to at least get a winter page in sometime this week I will post a pic when I get it done. Im so tired (again) I had to get up earlier than normal to take Queenie up to the vet to get fixed. I stayed up late with Britt watching a movie too, so This is the only post for now. night!

just waiting for the weather

This is a drawing from Maddi. I get to look at it and remember how lucky I am to have my sweet children everytime I walk into my scrapbook where it hangs on the door. I am signed up with one of my yahoo groups to take pictures everyday (or almost everyday) and then scrap them once a week for the whole year. They dont have to be special occassions just everyday stuff... this is one of my everyday pics.

The weather is yucky so Im just waiting for th weather hold on its on... I hate that the school waits until 5 in the morning to call and say school is cancelled or delayed. I dont know what the roads are like right now, but Scott said they were slick when he went out earlier. I've been hearing the ice hitting the roof So heaven knows if they will have school or not and if they do if the bus will be able to make it up the hill! I dont envy our bus driver! Anyways I'm so tired but I want to post at least one pic tonight so hear it is. Later

I love this SU set

 
This could be used as an unconventional valentine for an adult or child. or just about any other type of card. I havent decided yet so the inside is still blank.I used prisma colors pencils and a paint brush to color them in. (still practicing this technique. I have check out tutorial and everything and my cards never look like thiers. anyone have any tips for this either?

wallet

 
This is spose to look like a wallet I seen on splitcoast (I think it was splitcoast) a while ago I used heated wax paper to make it look like leather. The happy Fathers day tag is spose to look like a label. I just looks kinda plan anyone have any tip? what would you do to dress it up?

I got a great deal online black friday morning (i got up at 4:50am) on Bailey's MP3 player and he loves the dancing penguin named "Icy"

I am so tired I need to quit posting and go to bed! But I just loved this picture. Ethan and daddy have regular "fights" Ethan usually wins.

Maddi's blue hair

Maddi got a Bratz hair dye kit from Aunt Holly It dyes the dolls hair and hers. She is such a girly girl. Thank heavens it rinsed out in one wash, school doesnt let them have any unnatural hair colors. (can we say pain in the butt?)
