My Beautiful Daughter

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!! I hope your weekend has been wonderful!! Today I have a beautiful LO to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Debbie, created using our May scrapbook kit.

 DEBBIE

All the layers and fussy cutting is just delightful!! For more details about this LO please visit Debbie's blog. 

Only a few more days left to enter our sketch challenges this month.  We have 2 sketches to chose from and the winner can chose their prize.  So play along with either our card or LO sketch for your chance to win either the card or scrapbook kit.  :-)  Link up your project in the sidebar by May 23rd for your chance to win.

Alright well enjoy the rest of you day.  I am headed out to work in a little bit.  AND school starts back up tomorrow.  I just can't believe it, I am going to complete the last 2 classes to obtain my Associates, what an amazing feeling.  AND we are T-minus 73 days until moving day!!  Yipppeeee!!!  AND I found a daycare (out in Arizona) to take my kids, life is good right now.  :-)   AND I found out my son's school has before and after school program so he will be taken care of too.  I thought maybe since they didn't have bus service (it's a chartered school) that they probably didn't have any after school programs but I was wrong and I am happy I was.  So now we just wait until mid June/beginning of July to find a house and a job.  :-)

Enjoy your day!!  

WINNER!!!

Good Morning my friends!!! I hope everyone has been doing well. Life has just seriously gotten really busy and not even with packing/moving stuff; just normal life. I have been working more, dentist and doctor appointments, taking my son to speech therapy, running here and there.......I can only imagine what is in store for my family when I have 2 kids in school, 2 kids in daycare, and both Tony and I are working full time and eventually trying to go and finish school. There will seriously not be enough hours in the day. Well today's agenda includes the dentist for all 4 kids, mowing the lawn and hopefully a little packing. We are T-minus 76 days until we move. :-)


 Today I just have the winner of my recent giveaway to announce. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that entered and answered the question that I mentioned in the post. It is so nice to hear that those that entered/won would be willing to pitch in for shipping. I even had a couple comments that said they would buy a box of goodies. :-) I think for now I will stick to giving it away. :-) But yes, shipping is getting expensive. So what I am going to do, after I load a box of stuff to today's winner I am going to divide all the rest of my stuff up, see how many boxes I have and we will have a giveaway real soon to get rid of all those boxes. :-)


So today's winner is comment #11:

 LISA from Lisa's Creative Niche

The weekend was beautiful weather wise and I hope that all of you had a great weekend, especially for all of those "special" mothers.  It's raining here today and quite dreary.  I've got the perfect layout created by our delightful designer Marcia to share with you to brighten up your day!

MARCIA

 Isn't this beautiful!!!  Love all of the fussy cut work which adorn the precious pictures.  Be sure to stop by Marcia's blog for all of the details!

Don't forget our sketch challenge.  You have until May 23 to enter a project!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day!!! These precious faces are who give me the privilege of celebrating this day with all the other fabulous mother's out there. Not a day goes by that I look at my children and feel like the luckiest parent in the world.

I hope everyone has a super fabulous day!!!! 

 

Let's start it off right......

The weekend that is. LOL!! Let's have a giveaway. First I have a question. I really do have a ton of stuff to giveaway. When it gets closer to the time I move I am going to need to get rid of all of it. And I am sure I will still have a ton of stuff even with all the giveaways I have been doing. Would any of you that enter my giveaways be willing to pay $5-$10 (towards shipping) for a big box of papers and embellishments? I have stacks and stacks of paper, and I just won't have anything to do with it. I mean I could keep it but do I really need 15 sheets of the same paper.....not really, especially since I don't get to craft much. So I may have like 5-10 boxes of stuff I could giveaway. And we all know paper is heavy and can be pricey to ship. I have a bunch of embellishments too.  So if you want to let me know in a comment (not required) if you think that would be OK to ask for a small "donation" towards shipping.  :-) 

Next, I wanted to share a few pictures.  This week my daughter got her braces off.  She had them on a little over 2 years.  I think she got them Feb/March of 2010.  She was so excited.  I was excited for her.  I think I even got a little teary eyed.  LOL!!  I told Tony that we are going to need to buy tissue in bulk in a few month because for the next 5-7 years I am going to shed a lot of tears.  LOL!! I mean so many changes are going to happen.  My oldest will start driving, working, and being a little more independent.  My oldest boy will start kindergarten.  Next fall my youngest daughter will start kindergarten.  The following year my daughter will be a senior and graduating.  And the year after that my baby will be starting kindergarten.  Oh boy, I am getting teary eyed just thinking about it.  I think I cried every year for about 4-5 years with Nicki at the start of the school year.  Just seeing my baby walk in to school all independent it just made me so sad.  LOL!! 

Alright on to the pictures. 

Next is a picture of my Mother's Day gift.  I found it on Etsy and jokingly sent a picture to Tony telling him he could get it for me.  Little did I know he did.  LOL!!  (I also got a fabulous pedicure for Mother's Day)

Gifts like this mean more to me than some expensive diamond or something.  Anything handmade by my kids or anything to do with my kids means a lot.  I told Tony the other day if he is going to buy me a wedding ring (Lol, nope not married yet) I don't want a traditional diamond.  I want something that has my kids birthstones or something.  There will be a diamond though because Nicki's birthday is in April.  :-) 

I also did a little manicure.....

Please excuse around the cuticles, I just did it when I took this picture and I hadn't gotten all the polish off. I am not sure if any of you follow Kristina Werner's blog but she got me hooked on Konad nail stamping oh maybe a year or so ago (maybe less than that).  But not only does she have her craft blog but she started a nail blog.  Oh my.  I went and spent $20 on polish last night so I can try a new technique she shared on her blog. Have any of you tried Konad stamping?  

Now on to the giveaway part.  I have another random box of goodies to giveaway.  :-)  Just leave me a comment and you will be entered to win.  :-) 

I will leave this open until May 15 at 11:59pm EST. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!
