Work = no crafting...

I had a bust day at work today. Ended up being in charge - ugh! not part of the plan, but it went OK. I brought my new SU summer mini, and was planning to look at it. No time - not even an extra minute to look at my new mini :(

Hopefully tomorrow night I will be able to get some work done on the invites for my in-laws party. Should really get them to my SIL by Sunday. Really, my 4 days on mean I have no hope of crafting. On the plus side, I went for a run after work.

2 days in a row!!

So, I am pretty proud of myself. Blogging 2 days in a row. Yay me!! Today was calm and mostly quiet. DD and I went to visit an old friend and her new baby. We even found a dress for me to wear to my inlaws 50th anniv. All in all a success... no crafting though, and I still have 15 more invites to do for the anniversary... how do I get myself into these things?? I guess I need to get cracking.

Today I am sharing some money holders I mad at Christmas time. Only one actually held mosey, the other 2 held tickets and a gift card. They were fun and very easy to make. I found a tutorial on You Tube created by a SU demo named Dawn. It was really easy to follow! The stamps are SU on all of them, and the paper is CTMH.

Back to work in the morning - ugh!!

April?? Seriously?

Really?? April? I may be the worst blogger in the world. 3 months between posts, and for no reason!! What can you do? I have bought/ recieved some wonderful crafting things. I got some great cartridges, and a new scoring board - martha stewart... love it so far! It has scor marks EVERY 8th of an inch... awesome! Though a bit dizzying, honestly :)

My sons 8th birthday was yesterday, all related pics are still on my camera, so None to show today. Instead I will post a few pics from by daughters 4th birthday, back in February. These were all quick and fun projects to make - well except for the cake, we won't talk about that ;)

The little goody bags using Hello Kitty Greetings.

The Abby Cadabby birthday cake I made - we won't discuss how much work was involved :)


The inside of the card I made for DD - stamps from CTMH...

The front of the card I made for DD - I love Hello Kitty Greetings!! The stamp is also from CTMH - can't remember what it's called, but it's a great stamp set with cupcakes. I love it!!

So, that's it for today. I'll try to be back again soo, to post some more things that I have created.

How did it get to be Feb 21st??

Where does the time go? Here we are, mid-late February and I have been no better about blogging - what can you do??

Here are 2 of the cards I made for Christmas this year. I love them both in their own way. I have no idea why the dear uploaded sideways, but unless I can figure out how to rotate it, there it will stay!

I am trying to do a bit more crafting, as I am able. I love it and jsut don't get the time. Last night I did a couple of cards - sympathy cards, unfortunately - and a thank you card. I will take some pics and get them posted.

Family funeral tomorrow.

Oops...

I ahve been terrible with blogging the last few months. I will try to be better - maybe. I have actually had a chance to craft lately, much to my excitement... I did 10 2 page spreads last weekend and am really excited to do some more.

I have recently found a blog I love called Project Tuesday - I would insert a link if I knew how, but I don't, sorry... I am really keen to try some of those ideas. Maybe later in the week.

Zoe

Isn't she cute?? Our latest addition to the family is Zoe. She is a shihchon - shihtzu - bichon frize mix. She is 4 months old and weighs 5 lbs, and is cute as a button! She is, however taking up a great deal of our time! No crafting and no gym this week! Terrible, I know. Oh well, there is always next week. Although, in truth, the crafting NEEDS to get done. I have a swap ready to go, that must be mailed in the next few days, and I have a swap due in the US in about 2 1/2 weeks - not even started yet! Ugh, the stress.... so enough computer stuff. I must go craft!

Time Flies!!

So, this card is what happens when you let your seven year old design a thank you card! He picked the paper (Stampin Up) and he picked the embellishment (cricut) - he designed the whol thing! It is a card to thank his aunt and cousin for a gift he recieved from them. Not the colors or the card I would have chosen, but I didn't choose it. He did. It turned out cute, despite the, shall we say, non-traditional aspects to it.

I can't believe it is almost the end of September! What happened there? It's amazing how quickly time has gone by since we had kids!! Oh the insanity...
