I'm back!




Here is my project for the week. I am starting to work on valentine's for Ashleigh's class, This will be for the boys. It is a sucker holder. The spaceship was cut with my cricut using a file I found online (Sorry I can not remember where to give proper credit) The alien was stamped and then colored with Stampin Up markers and punched with the Stampin Up 1 3/8 inch circle punch.
The trip to Missorui was nice but I was glad to be home. Not a bad week, the girls had tumbling and Emily has mastered her round off. It amazes me how fast the girls pick things up when they have a good coach. This will be Emily's first full week at tumbling due to weather and holidays.

Oh that was the other thing that happened this week, Stampin Up was running a special connected with the recent leadership conference. My Stampin Up demonstrator could offer free kit to someone and that lucky person was me! I am going to try my hand at being a demo again. I miss it and think it will help boost my creative juices!
Til next time......

My first crafty post of the year




in keeping with the plan here are a few message boards that I made. One for Haley and one for Ashleigh.

Wow has it really been 2 years since I have posted anything here?

I decided to try and start blogging again. I want a place to showcase my crafts and share stories of my crazy family so I decided to check in with the old blog. Dec 7 2008 was my last post, wow! I promise to try better to post. Not that there is anyone out there to hear me but this is better than talking to myself where people can see! lol My goal is to post once a week and to post a project at least once a week. So maybe 2 entries a week unless I am really on top of things and have pictures ready to post when I post! yeah that probably won't happen.

We started the week off with a severe weather day. The base and the schools were closed so the kiddos and I had a lazy day at home. Well it wasn't all lazy. I did finish Ashleigh and Haley's message boards. I plan to finish Haley's night light tonight. So we can take them with us this coming weekend when we travel to Missouri to visit.

The girls also start tumbling this week so I will be spending 4 evening a week at the armery, yeah fun.

I guess that is all for now. I will be back later this week with a post so I can share the girls message boards and Haley's night light.
