the MAGIC of BAND AIDS

Look at this face...

he didn't have an 'owie' on his hand {or finger} ...

I just bought a new box of Toy Story bandaids.

HATEING the cold...

It is sooooo cold and snowy here. I am so tired of it. The dogs have to stay inside, the kids have to stay inside, I have to stay inside.

I planted tulips last fall. I cannot wait to see them in the spring. HOPEFULLY I did it right, because I put 100 bulbs in the ground, followed the directions precicely. Cross your fingers.

Not a whole lot to report about these days. Baseball season will be underway next month, Jordan and Todd will be busy with that, Tyler is this close to getting his next belt rank in Karate, Emily has the biggest imagination of all my kids, always playing "Mommy/Teacher" and Zack is obsessed with guns and knifes...I hope this is just a stage and he outgrows this obsession soon. We got him a 'cap' gun to get tired of and I let him 'help' in the kitchen at dinnertime, he gets to use the butter knifes.

Please spring, bring the warmer weather...I may be tempted to move to Arizona.

A few more cards...

Made this one for Jo
This is for Ty...don't really like where I put the stamp
Oh,well...

and this is for my Zack-a-roo.

HOLY CRAP they are all sooooooooo CUTE!!

{Don't think the kids will care about the cards, they will go for the chocolate}

I love them, and had TONS of fun making them.

Maybe I will post other things, soon...I mean besides my crafting. I am sure there is more going on in life that I should post about.

I will watch for something...to be continued...

Home-Made Valentine's...

BUT first a shout out to my teen-ager...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JORDAN!!

(I will NEVER get a normal picture of him...will I?!?!)

Yes, I did make the football and helmets...I printed up the logos and hand cut and pasted them to the helmets...pretty way cool, huh?

This is the card I made for Todd...I soooooo LOVE it!!

I got all mushy on the inside, so I didn't take a picture of that...but the outside is pretty!!

And this one is by far my FAVORITE!!
Yes, it is for my Rock Star, Emily...for some reason, she is much easier to make things for, than my boys...I have NO IDEA how to make their cards...
Emily talked me into buying the Hannah Montana cartridge, so I used it for her card...PERFECT!!

Is this obsession getting out of control? Maybe.
Do I care?
NOPE!!

a Few things...

I actually had to pull BOTH cricuts and my Gypsy out to finish a project I was working on for my Sister-In-Law...talk about TONS OF FUN!!
a sample of a refridgerator magnet I made for my Mom. She had to give a lesson in church, and wanted a little reminder for the ladies. Her saying was MUCH cuter...

these are the $1 mailboxes from Target. SOOO cute. I scraplifted this idea from www.mypinkstamper.com. She has the CUTEST website and TONS of great ideas. I visit her daily and will be scraplifting a lot more from her.

The mailboxes have the likeness of my 2 co-workers and myself {I'm the one with the camera} and I put them on the counter at my preschool for decoration. Everyone LOVES them! They were super fun to make.

AWWWWWW...

Good Night my sweet boy...
