LUCKY blocks

Better late than never, right? These are the blocks Lynette and I came up with last FEBRUARY!! I never made them the night of our focus group because I was very busy seeing about money and stuff. So I took the supplies home and swore I would get them done before St. Patty's day that same year. Well 11 months later they are done. It only took me half and hour to do, but sometimes even finding that amount of time is a challenge. Now they can go on my cute accent table by the front door. (That is...when I find the perfect accent table to put by the front door! That has been on my to-do list for three years now.)

Back Again

I know, you probably don't check this blog anymore. I've been creating stuff a lot this year but never get around to blogging it. It's a resolution this year to be better at it! Here is the card I created for this month's swap. I got some great ones in return and will post those later this week!

Baby Shower Book

My friend and neighbor just had boy/girl twins and we are throwing her a shower tomoorrow. She is also moving out of state so the shower will serve as a farewell party too. I made this keepsake book for guests to write a message giving some sort of mommy advice, along with their address so she can keep in touch. Simple and cute!

School Picture Project

I tend to overbook myself. A few weeks ago I was in the shower and that is when I do my best brainstorming. I thought "Hey, I should go take a nice picture of Ethan's class so I can scrapbook it". Then when I suggested that to the teacher I suddenly volunteered to do all three classes. Let's just say this turned out to be an ordeal.

But finally they are done and just in time. I made each one into a nice keepskae for the kids. If they want to do something else with the picture like stick it in an album it won't be too hard tp peel the picture from the mounting. They turned out pretty well. And ignore the different paper choices. That was an ordeal in itself. I mis-calculated how much paper I would need and then Hailey found a glue stick and ruined several sheets. So I improvised.

A New Page

Actually this isn't a new page. I did this one in January but I am only now uploading and blogging new pages I have done this year. I stole this idea from Staci. I just loved the individual explanation of each kid. This is the first page in our 2008 book (after the title page). It' s a little boring and lacks accent, but it'll do. I decided I am going to do one like this each January of the kids. It will be fun to see how they evolve. Thanks for the idea Staci!

Pimpin' Aint Easy

Lynette and I are still getting the kinks worked out of the craft night we started a few months ago. I've decided I am the craft night pimp. I made so many calls today trying to collect our money from people who still owed. I just need some gold chains and a cane. Here is part one of last month's project. It's 6x12 inches. Cute idea Lynette! The second craft we did that night will get posted about shortly.

March Card Swap

I have been so bad about posting on this blog. I actually have a million things to post, but it is a matter of getting pictures uploaded and then sitting down and writing about them! This month the card swap theme was "thank you". I'm not crazy about my cards because I had to do them the afternoon of. Oh well. Tomorrow I will take a picture of the super cute cards I got and make a post about it. I also have about 20 scrapbook layouts that are all done, just waiting to be journaled and photographed. Hopefully all of this will be done by week's end!
