The Duck Whisperer
Hello bloggy buddies! Happy Wednesday. Yesterday was a really great day except for having to drive an hour each way in the rain up and down the mountains to take my daughter to her Ortho. I was so trying to get pics of the trees, OMGoodness they were beautiful. By the time we got home it was nap time for the two lil ones.
Since it was a cold, gloomy rainy day, my lil man Tony and I cuddled in bed and watched movies and both ended up falling asleep for about an hour together. What a better way to spend the afternoon than cuddling with my son. Well it would have been greater if daddy was home and the 2 lil ones were old enough to cuddle in bed too. They just don't sit still. LOL!
Well today I have a LO to share that Jamie made. She used Happy Together collection pack from Fancy Pants. This one is sold at Artfuldelight but we are currently out of stock. Will be available really soon.
Fabulous LO, I really love the colors in that collection. Well I hope y'all have a great day!

A LO and a few cards
Yesterday started off like no other day. I woke up, got my travel mug of coffee and drove my daughter to school. I came home and ate breakfast with the rest of the family and then I locked Tony in his room (make sure the kids don't bother him) so he could finish some homework that was due by 7pm. I hung out with the kids, then at noon I got ready for school and an hour later I was on my merry little way. Attended my Accounting class, had my 2 hour break and then attended my Math class that started at 5pm.
Tony then met me up at school with the kids like he always does because our classes are so close together I wouldn't make it home in time for him to drive to school. When I get to the car my Lil Tony is holding his belly and saying he was full. He usually says this when he has to go #2. So Tony proceeds to take him out of the car so I can run him in to the bathroom. Within seconds he starts puking. He got it on Tony's shirt and all over himself. I was informed just seconds before this happened that he had gotten in to the Flinstone's vitamins and ate a few (like 2-3). Child safety cap my butt!!! Now we are not negligent and they were on such a high shelf that even I can barely reach it. Not sure how he got up there because it wasn't like it was in a cabinet and he could have climbed on the counter it was a free standing wire shelf we installed on one of the walls since we have a small kitchen and no room for boxed food and canned goods. So after all that, he had gotten sick because of the few vitamins he ate. After he got sick in the parking lot he was fine. We came home, he ate 2 pieces of bread and then insisted on having some spaghetti. He scarfed it down and then was bouncing off the walls the rest of the night. I didn't mean for the story to be so long but that was how my evening ended. He is fine now and new lesson learned. Lock medicine/vitamins in safe. :-(
Now on to the fun stuff, the crafty projects. Ooooh you guys are gonna like these. I have quite a few pictures to share with you today. One will be a LO that Debbie created and the others are of a card set that Courtney made. Both projects today are FABULOUS! That is all I can say about them, well I could say more but I think that one word sums it up. :-)
So fabulous! I just love all of them. I haven't had a chance to play with the kit yet but just seeing all these fab projects that are created using the November Monthly Kit is totally making me want to sit down and craft with it. LOL! Hope y'all enjoyed.

Sweet Dreams
Good Morning! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Mine was pretty uneventful and mildly relaxing. I got some housework done and some homework done. So I guess it was pretty productive. I also ran some errands. Is my life exciting or what? LOL! I cannot believe next Thursday is Thanksgiving. This year is coming to an end quickly and I just can't believe it. Unfortunately my oldest daughter will not be spending the holidays with us. Thanksgiving she will spend with her dad and his side of the family. Christmas she will be spending with my parents and the rest of the family in IL. Makes me sad I won't be able to make it but Tony can't get the time off work.
Anyways, today I have two projects to share with you. The first one is a LO that Jamie created using the November Monthly Kit. Seriously there is so much in this kit, you can create so many wonderful things. Elisabeth, our GD made 5 LO's and she may have had a little left over to make something else. Our DT member Debbie will have made 4 LO's and a card and if you have seen Debbie's fabulous LO's you will see she likes to layer and she still had plenty to make the 4 LO's with a little left over for a card. In addition, included in the kit is a bottle of Glimmer Mist and Stickles. Those will last much past the 4-5 LO's that can be made. So this kit is worth the money, get your hands on it while there are still some available. :-)
What a doll! She is too cute. And that LO is fabulous!
Up next is a card I made for the Waltzingmouse Sketch #23 challenge. I have never played along at Waltzingmouse but when I saw the sketch on Alice's blog over at Alice's {Little} Wonderland I knew I wanted to play along.
I used Basic Grey's Jovial collection for the PP on the card. The 6x6 paper pads are available at Artfuldelight.
The holly is a sneak peak of an item in the December Monthly Kit. I used some Stickles and colored in the "peace". That sentiment is the Christmas Wonder stamp set from Practicing Creativity Designs, also available at Artfuldelight.

I just realized that I can also enter this card in the Wee Memories challenge #31. The theme is "dust off that patterned paper."

Beautiful View
Good Morning and Happy Sunday. Today's post will be short and sweet. I am sharing a project with you that DT member April created. This LO is very beautiful even in its simplicity.
April used the papers from November's Monthly Kit. I really am going to have to get that butterfly punch.Be sure to check out April's blog to see her post and what she has to say about her LO.
I will have another fun filled week ahead with great projects from our DT as well as myself so be sure to check back during the week. Also I think I smell some giveaways in the NEAR future. I know I want to tie it in to Christmas somehow, meaning there will be more than 1 giveaway and I am just trying to figure out how many and how close to Christmas I should start. The items included will be a variety of de-stash my stash and new stuff. But I can assure you, you will like them.

Limelight Papercrafts: Sketch 60: Pattern Paper
Good Morning! I am so excited because school is winding down for this semester. All I have left in most of my classes is the final. 3 more weeks of lectures and then the finals, with minimal homework. If I can pat myself on the back (of would that be wrong?) for a minute when I say that I got really good grades in my classes. Well so far at least, the finals will tell all though. LOL!
Other good news, my Lil Max took his first step the other day. Well he stepped towards the couch and then leaned on the couch. He keeps standing and trying to figure out what to do next.
And now on to the crafts, I was excited to play along with Limelight Papercrafts this week, I have seen the challenges on Karen's blog, The Bald Dragonfly, but I have never had a chance to play along. When I saw the challenge and the sketch I knew I wanted to play.
I really like the way this card turned out and it only took me about 30 minutes to make and that was really only because I cut the sentiment shape out on my Cricut. The PP is from Basic Grey's Jovial collection and I have the 6x6 paper pads available at Artfuldelight at a new low price of $4.99. :-)
The sentiment is from Practicing Creativity Designs, Christmas Wonder stamp set. Love, love love it. The wonderfully talented Karen from The Bald Dragonfly designed the set. This set is also available at Artfuldelight.
So I think I found the perfect spot to take pictures outside. Now I know everyone probably knows the importance of natural light when taking a picture and I have mentioned before that since I craft at night I photograph at night. Well last night I took a picture and it was just horrible. I didn't realize how horrible it was until I took a picture outside today and OH MY, did my pictures SUCK before. I can't guarantee great pics like this all the time (it is almost winter and I am not sure I will take pics outside if it is snowy or any colder than 32 degrees, lol) but I am just shocked. I am so embarrassed but I am going to show you the indoor, at night picture.
Eeekkkkk! What a ridiculously ugly photo. I am so sorry that is the quality photos that I would share. I will do my best not to use pics like that anymore. LOL! On a good note, with this card, I am at 3 Christmas cards so far. That's right 3! LOL! Sheesh, I better get busy or I will never be done to mail them out for Christmas 2010. LOL!
Anywho, be sure to enter my sketch challenge.

Day 5 - Guest Designer projects
Happy Friday! Although it is Friday and I am super happy, it is sad to say that this is the last day of projects from Elisabeth. I was so happy that she accepted the GD position and she has certainly done amazing work this week.
Today's LO is no exception to her amazing talent. She really rocked out the November kit. So we should all make sure we stop by her blog and give her some comment love. :-)
I LOVE love LOVE those Prima Flowers!!! Elisabeth did a fabulous job all week and we certainly would love to have her back again! :-)
Just a couple reminders, don't forget to enter Wee Memories Birthday Bash Scrappy Saturday challenge (ya know the one I am sponsoring, wahoo) it ends tonight at 11:59pm PST.
Don't forget my sketch challenge, upload your project for your chance to win December's monthly kit. :-) I also wanted to mention because someone asked, it doesn't have to be a LO, it can be whatever you want it to be as long as you use the sketch.
And finally I have added a bunch more Thickers at Artfuldelight. Be sure to check them out. :-)
Hope y'all have a fabulous day!
