SBO

So Daughter 3 is running for SBO (student body officer). Its been a long week of handouts and excitement. We are all waiting for friday to find out the results. Wish her luck!

I am back!

Okay so its been a while since I have blogged. (Its a long story but I forgot my password and it wouldn't let me in.) So now I am back!

So what has happened in the last 4 months? Well what hasn't? D5 was baptized...

We have had 3 Birthdays (and one more this week!

Daughters 1 and 2 were asked to the prom...

(that means I have to make 2 prom dresses in 13 days)

Only Son finished Basket Ball . . .

And Daughters 3 and 4 were in the School play...

We have also celebrated Valentines, Easter and St. Patrik's Day, been to 3 family events, been on field trips and school performances and have tried to find a little time to just spend together.

My dear sweet husband has been busy with work, church and a little of travel.

I have stayed unbelievably busy with work. Its okay I still love it. (I now do the blog for work every day (check it out) and teach classes and do displays on top of my regular day to day work)

(Here is a photo of just one of the classes I am teaching in May)

I know there has been lots more things that have kept us busy but I think that is enough for now.

I will try and do better about blogging more often (I wrote my password down so hopefully I wont lose it this time!)

Have a great day everyone!

No Photos this time

Sorry no photos this time. It has been a very fun week at work. Lots to do and put together for the open house last week. I made close to 15 different displays, make and takes and stuff for a class. I will post photos sometime next week.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

A Baby Book for Work

I can't take all the credit for this one. It was started by an employee who left and I found the parts and pieces in a box and decided to finish it. It worked up pretty fast (she had done all the cutting already- I just put it together.) It almost makes me wish I had another baby to make one for...almost.
The chipboard album and peices are from a kit by Fancy Pants. The printed paper is by Cloud 9. I love these accordian albums. I have a couple from Close to My Heart that I am working on. I will post those when they are done.

More Displays for work

This Layout was done using Stitching from Bazzill. It took a while but was a lot of fun.

















These next two are made using paper and Rub ons from Sassafrass and Thickers from American Craft. I made the layout first and then the card (4 x 4) using left over scraps of paper and Thickers (Thickers are Stickers made from foam, they are so fun!)












This last one is an album I just did using the new Clear Albums. All product was Rusty Pickle except for the Card Stock (Bazzill). The Picture doesn't show the album all that well so you will just have to come into the store to see it. These Clear Albums are all the rage and they work up so cute. You should try one (or two or ...)

A page for my Grandma's book

For Christmas my mom put an album together for my grandma. This is one of the pages that I did. The paper is My Minds Eye, the ribbon and embellishments are Close to my heart and the Rub ons I am not sure about. I love Rub ons; I think they are my new favorite.

More Pictures, this time showing details

For this layout I used paper from Close to My heart and My Minds eye. I also used both my Silhouette (to cut out the title) and my Cricut (to cut out the circles) I then added ribbon to the circles. This really went together quickly.








To draw attention to my daughter and her ornament, I drew a circle around her using a circle template. I then added little drops of glitter glue (Stickles, by Ranger Inks.) It looks like the glitter brads but is a lot less expensive.




















On this page I used my new Quickutz, Squeeze tool. It was a lot of fun to make these little Santas and Reindeer. For the Letter, I cut out a J from chipboard and then from pattern paper . This was so easy

. I have never done a flip page before. This was a fun way to add extra photos to my layout. I also used my new Silhouette to cut out the title.

This was a lot of fun to do. My Husband says I have to many toys but as you can see I use all of them so its okay!
