border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Hello everyone!!!&amp;nbsp; I hope you had a wonderful weekend.&amp;nbsp; There is so much going on this week but I do hope to have plenty of things to post for you to see so please check back often to see what may be up.&amp;nbsp; Since we didn't have very many people enter my giveaway I am going to leave it open for another week.&amp;nbsp; Just leave a comment on &lt;a href="http://missyscreativecorner.blogspot.com/2009/11/tis-season.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; and if you have a cute whimsy image please link to it.&amp;nbsp; They are doing a special Christmas giveaway so please go check it out &lt;a href="http://whimsystamps.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Today is the day we have been waiting for for quite a while.&amp;nbsp; My husband, as most of you know, is in the military.&amp;nbsp; He is enlisted and has been a Staff Seargant for most of our married life.&amp;nbsp; Today he is being promoted.&amp;nbsp; He will now be a Technical Seargant and I am so proud of him.&amp;nbsp; In the Air Force to be promoted to the rank he is and the rank he is being promoted and to Master Seargant (which comes next) you have to study and take a test.&amp;nbsp; It is very difficult to get promoted because of this, especially since my hubby has difficulty with tests.&amp;nbsp; I knew he could do this and am so proud of his accomplishments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;I decided that since we get to go to a special promotion ceremony with my boys and my parents that I wanted to make him a card.&amp;nbsp; He might get a little upset with me at first because I took one of his "stripes" and put it on the card.&amp;nbsp; I did make sure that I used repositional tape so that we can take it off easily and then get the remnants off so the "stripes" can be sewn on to his uniform.&amp;nbsp; I hope he likes it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Of course this promotion comes just in time to help with holiday expenses and of course the new baby.&amp;nbsp; We couldn't be more happy for all the wonderful stuff we have going on in our lives.&amp;nbsp; We are truly blessed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/SxQmsEq2ZJI/AAAAAAAABBQ/J0SxCBt9a6Y/s1600/blog+070+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Hello everyone!!!&amp;nbsp; I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and/or family.&amp;nbsp; It was a good day for us.&amp;nbsp; Fun times with the family and a good football game.&amp;nbsp; It didn't turn out so great because my hubby and I woke up to prepare for the big Thanksgiving feast at our house only to realize that we lost electricity.&amp;nbsp; That is fine for some things but after a while electricity becomes important with a house full of people.&amp;nbsp; So instead we had to switch the festivities to my sister's house so Thanksgiving dinner was later than it normally is.&amp;nbsp; But it was wonderful and there is nothing more important on Thanksgiving than good food and good company and that is exactly what we got.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Today I wanted to show you a card I made fairly quickly actually.&amp;nbsp; I just love how it turned out as well.&amp;nbsp; It is so not my usual colors and that is what is so great about it.&amp;nbsp; My mom won a contest with &lt;a href="http://www.motivet.com/"&gt;Motivet&lt;/a&gt; stamps a while back so I stamped some of the images that she won.&amp;nbsp; They are adorable and so fun to color.&amp;nbsp; I colored &lt;a href="http://www.motivet.com/international/product_info.php?cPath=59&amp;amp;products_id=1428&amp;amp;osCsid=ae4735de8bec2f177ee2c7c1f2372077"&gt;Doraline holding a sunflower&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;I wasn't sure how I wanted to put the card together so I looked around and thought that the CPS sketch would be a lot of fun to use for this adorable little squirrel.&amp;nbsp; There are several elements on this card but it also looks so simple to me.&amp;nbsp; I just love it.&amp;nbsp; Still gotta decide who it is gonna go to though.&amp;nbsp; Plus, the sentiment just seemed to fit the image so perfectly.&amp;nbsp; I hope to see you back here soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Thanks for stopping by!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/honeybee7896/?action=view&amp;amp;current=2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/honeybee7896/th_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5968163879136064965-1398190027421048817?l=missyscreativecorner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://missyscreativecorner.blogspot.com/2009/11/black-fridaycps-sketch.html</link><author>honeybee7896@yahoo.com (Missy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/SxAmp-m9GMI/AAAAAAAABBI/r0Bm6YGU9nw/s72-c/blog+067+copy.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968163879136064965.post-189589483038391421</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-24T14:46:24.087-08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>whimsy stamp</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>koh-i-noor pencils</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Papertrey Ink</category><title>Birthday Boy "Knight Connor"</title><description>&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

Very quiet.&amp;nbsp; Maybe a friends party next&amp;nbsp; year but this year we decided to do a quiet family party again.&lt;br /&gt;I used some aqua mist cardstock (I think, from PTI).&amp;nbsp; the rest is all basically scraps from the goody bags I made for his class party.&lt;br /&gt;I used PTI polka dot basics and borders and corners monogram edition to make the pattern on the colored scraps of paper.&amp;nbsp; The Knight Connor from Whimsy was the exact same one I used for the goody bag.&amp;nbsp; We had a few extras so I just took it off and retaped it onto his card.&amp;nbsp; My son seemed pleased with it and I was pleased with the fact that I was able to get rid of some scraps instead of just throwing them out or forgetting about them.&lt;br /&gt;There is still plenty of time to enter the giveaway on the post &lt;a href="http://missyscreativecorner.blogspot.com/2009/11/tis-season.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;

I actually got to participate and had so much fun doing it.&amp;nbsp; I was able to get a little advice from my mom since she was here.&amp;nbsp; I also got to&amp;nbsp;play with&amp;nbsp;a new stamp I purchased from Whimsy from the new artist, Crissy.&amp;nbsp; The most adorable snowman you will ever see.&amp;nbsp; I am probably going to be getting more from her.&amp;nbsp; I love the Santa she drew as well.&amp;nbsp; Thanks to my mom, I have a few of those to play with as well for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;So, this weeks challenge at &lt;a href="http://whimsystamps.blogspot.com/"&gt;Whimsy's challenge blog&lt;/a&gt; is to make a Christmas card.&amp;nbsp; No specific rules after that.&amp;nbsp; Just anything that says "Christmas" to you.&amp;nbsp; As usual, you do not need to have a Whimsy stamp to participate but if you do have one we would love to see you use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;My little snow man was colored using Koh-i-noor pencils and baby oil.&amp;nbsp; I was just looking at my card and he is pretty self explanatory, in my opinion, but I also know what I did.&amp;nbsp; If you do have any questions for me though please don't hesitate to leave the question in your comment or you can email me with your question.&amp;nbsp; I will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;I have promised a giveaway a few weeks or a week ago and never delivered thanks to my internet going down.&amp;nbsp; So, this is what I am going to do.&amp;nbsp; If you want to win this card with a few other little goodies (I have to figure those out before I can announce it here) please leave a comment on this post and a link to the creation you have made for the Whimsy Christmas challenge and I will pick a winner via random.org next Monday the 30th of November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;So, what are you waiting for, get to making a lovely Christmas card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

They had a half day today.&amp;nbsp;His kindergarten is only half day anyway but he goes during the PM schedule.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;So today was a little crazy for us.&amp;nbsp; We had to get up early and get ready for school right away.&amp;nbsp; I think all in all it went very well.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A friend watched my youngest son so I could spend&amp;nbsp;some time helping out in my son's class.&amp;nbsp; It was a lot of fun and seeing them have their own little Thanksgiving "feast" of pocorn, fruit and cookies.&amp;nbsp; There were two classes there since we were combining.&amp;nbsp; My son's class was the Indians and the other class were the Pilgrims.&amp;nbsp; It was so cute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Anyway, today I wanted to share with you the projects I made for my son's class yesterday.&amp;nbsp; Yesterday&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;oldest son turned 6 years old.&amp;nbsp; I am still in shock that he is one year older.&amp;nbsp; It amazes me how much he&amp;nbsp;is growing and maturing now that he is in school.&amp;nbsp; I am so proud of his accomplishments and just know that he is going to grow up to&amp;nbsp;be a wonderful man someday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;My son decided that he wanted a Knight on his goody bag tags(?).&amp;nbsp; It was quite the intricate project but it wouldn't have been so bad if I had gotten started on this part much earlier.&amp;nbsp; That is my procrastination coming into play here.&amp;nbsp; I kinda cheapened it up a bit with staples but the morning before I was supposed to take them in I just couldn't get the rope to work the way I wanted.&amp;nbsp; You will see in the picture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/SwcAUKV_QGI/AAAAAAAAA_g/Z__Veeoq7F4/s1600/blog+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;The end of the year is always been the busiest for my family.&amp;nbsp; When I married my husband and had my children it only added to the chaos that is the end of the year with holidays and birthdays.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;November 7th was my husbands birthday and a very busy one at that.&amp;nbsp;

I cannot believe he will be 6 already because it still feels like he was born only recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Today I am going to show you a project I did for my son's kindergarten teacher.&amp;nbsp; In conversation she mentioned that her birthday was last Wednesday, Veteran's Day.&amp;nbsp; So on Thursday I spent the morning getting a little something together for her birthday.&amp;nbsp; For the card I saw the same layout used by &lt;a href="http://live-love-laugh-create.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lorie&lt;/a&gt; and I loved it.&amp;nbsp; It is simple, cute and so easy to throw together.&amp;nbsp; Plus, I just love the PTI "Life" stamp set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The basket was already made a long time ago.&amp;nbsp; It has been sitting on my desk taking up space for a while and it just happened to match the colors I used on her card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/SwGY-GVAfqI/AAAAAAAAA-o/qRPvtw7nZWU/s1600/blog+051+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I hope you had a wonderful week.&amp;nbsp; It has been crazy here not having the internet.&amp;nbsp; I really didn't realize how much I depend on the internet until I didn't have it.&amp;nbsp; I was going crazy.&amp;nbsp; But we are back for now and hope we don't have any more complications for a while.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;When I realized my internet was down I was getting ready to log on here and show you a card I made for the Whimsy challenge.&amp;nbsp; I was very late in getting it done so I didn't get to have it posted on the Challenge blog but did want to get something done.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;There is still a few more days to get a project done.&amp;nbsp; This week is watercolors.&amp;nbsp; I haven't done much watercoloring but new I needed to challenge myself.&amp;nbsp; If you want to join just watercolor something, anything, and put it on a project.&amp;nbsp; We would like to see your Whimsy images if you have them but if you don't please don't hesitate to join us anyway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none;

Alone and sleeping inside were a mother and her 11 year old daughter. These 4 boys broke into this home with the intent to rob and kill anyone inside. They stabbed the mom, Kimberly Cates, to death and left her daughter, Jaimie, for dead in their driveway. It was a completely random act, their home was chosen only due to its secluded surroundings."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Our hope is that everyone hopping around today will stop for a moment and think about Jaimie and her father and what life must be like for them now. One moment in time has changed their lives forever. We are asking that everyone reading this message please take a moment to make a card and send it off to Jaimie. You can make something very simple or much more involved, but please share some words of hope and love and let her know that people do care and want the best for her.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The address to send cards to Jaimie is on my sidebar with the button about the blog hop.&amp;nbsp;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Can you believe it?&amp;nbsp; I was actually able to finish the project that I mentioned yesterday.&amp;nbsp; This may be a first but my memory is so shot that I wouldn't even know for sure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;This is a challenge that they do once a month over at the SNR Card Universe/Whimsy message board.&amp;nbsp; I think I am late in getting this project done but I just took the time to get over there and get registered.&amp;nbsp; Yes, it is free to register, honestly, I am too cheap to do it otherwise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;the stamp you need to use for these challenges does need to be a Whimsy stamp, unlike the weekly challenges we have on their blog.&amp;nbsp; I decided on the hippo.&amp;nbsp; I am not sure what look I was going for.&amp;nbsp; I kinda just grabbed things as I went.&amp;nbsp; The colors are all weird and not sure if they "match", as well as all the patterns and elements I used.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;In fact, my husband was joking with me last night when I showed him the finished project.&amp;nbsp; He couldn't figure out what a hippo from Africa has to do with snowflakes.&amp;nbsp; I am not sure either.&amp;nbsp; I just loved the elements and put them together.&amp;nbsp; Without further ado:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was really fun and I hope to do it again very soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Well, as some of you may have guessed it is the week that I get to participate in the Whimsy challenge.&amp;nbsp; I am excited about this one because it is a sketch challenge.&amp;nbsp; Sketches can be difficult for me to come up with.&amp;nbsp; That is why I always have Friday sketchers and CPS sketch blogs on my favorites list.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;This card is made using the Whimsy monkey that is absolutely adorable.&amp;nbsp; I colored in some of him with copics, kohr-i-noor pencils and some sparkly fluff.&amp;nbsp; I just love it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;As always we would love to see what you can come up with this sketch.&amp;nbsp; And as always, we do not require you to use a whimsy stamp but if you have it we would love to see it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/SuXO_LhnFmI/AAAAAAAAA3s/e8HSa_PAp3g/s1600-h/cards+009+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Today I get to show you something that is somewhat crafty but not significantly.&amp;nbsp; The first weekend in October and in April our church has a "General Conference" this is a world wide conference for everyone in the church to watch and grow from.&amp;nbsp; After one of the sessions, there are 4 in a 2 day period, a friend quoted one of the speakers.&amp;nbsp; I just loved the quote and knew I had to do something with it.&amp;nbsp; This is what I did.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/St9HpXvC4mI/AAAAAAAAA3c/GowqHh6_j8s/s1600-h/cards+008+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/St9HpXvC4mI/AAAAAAAAA3c/GowqHh6_j8s/s320/cards+008+copy.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;There is no stamping and basically just flowers, ribbon and embellishments.&amp;nbsp; I was going to hang it in my living room but I made it too girlie for my house.&amp;nbsp; I might hang it somewhere else in my house like the dining room which is a bit more girl friendly, who knows.&amp;nbsp; I definitely think that no matter what your religious beliefs are this is something that we all need to remember.&amp;nbsp; If you can't read it in the picture I will quote it now:&amp;nbsp; "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.&amp;nbsp; Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly.&amp;nbsp; Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely."&amp;nbsp;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;...is what the Air Show here last Saturday was called.&amp;nbsp; It was a crazy day and some things really upset me.&amp;nbsp; I was very excited that my parents and my sister and her family all showed up and we were able to spend the day with them.&amp;nbsp; Something that really upset me...my husband did not have any duties for the Air Show directly so he had to work in his office for a full 8 hour day.&amp;nbsp; That means he missed the whole Air Show.&amp;nbsp; We did get lunch with him which was nice but it would have been better if he could have experienced the Air Show with us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/St3cGKVmrhI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/UDXfhc7YrUM/s1600-h/air+show+026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/St3cGKVmrhI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/UDXfhc7YrUM/s200/air+show+026.JPG" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Another thing that bothered me that day...I lost my son.&amp;nbsp; Luckily I was able to find him fairly quickly but for those minutes he was missing I felt horrible and they seemed to drag on.&amp;nbsp; It seems that as we left a Marine helicopter to go to another plan us adults changed plans and my son wasn't paying attention.&amp;nbsp; What makes it worse for me is that I wasn't even the one that realized he was missing.&amp;nbsp; It was my 13 year old niece.&amp;nbsp; I immediately began to panic and started walking to the lost and found.&amp;nbsp; Luckily I saw him in a golf cart with a man taking him to lost and found.&amp;nbsp; The funny part, if you can find a funny side to this story, was that he was found by the Marines.&amp;nbsp; The Marines saw him and he was apparently "very upset" and they saw this guy drive by and told him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;My poor baby wasn't crying but did want his blanket.&amp;nbsp; Since his blanket was at home all he wanted to do was go home.&amp;nbsp;

There was an Air Force monster truck.&amp;nbsp; Tora Tora Tora performed for us.&amp;nbsp; They are a reinactment performance group that reinacted the bombing of Pearl Harbor.&amp;nbsp; It was horrible for me.&amp;nbsp; Being an emotional person as it is, being pregnant has increased that 10 fold.&amp;nbsp; I had tears rolling down my eyes for basically the whole performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My poor body is still recovering though.&amp;nbsp; When I got home I didn't even bother putting anything down.&amp;nbsp; I just walked right in the house and sat down, purse next to me and all.&amp;nbsp; I even got to take a short cat nap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;My parents came back to our house afterwards and we got to have dinner and watch a movie.&amp;nbsp; We watched "The Proposal".&amp;nbsp; If you haven't had the chance to see it I would highly suggest watching it.&amp;nbsp;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Happy Monday everyone!!!&amp;nbsp; I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.&amp;nbsp; Mine was crazy and fun all at the same time.&amp;nbsp; I tell you though, two weekends in a row chalked full of activities has really worn me out.&amp;nbsp; The thing is I don't know when I am going to get a weekend where I can relax.&amp;nbsp; I am pretty sure that every weekend until the end of the year is pretty much gonna be filled with something.&amp;nbsp; I love it but my body is just screaming at me to slow down.&amp;nbsp; I guess I will have to try to do more of that during the week because I am too stubborn to not do any activities that I have been wanting to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Anyway, today I am showing you the card that I finally made for my mother-in-law.&amp;nbsp; Her birthday was a week ago tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; The sad thing is is that is also my brother's birthday and I still haven't gotten a card made for him and tomorrow in my brother-in-laws birthday and I haven't even thought abou a card for him.&amp;nbsp; I am getting so bad with cards here lately.&amp;nbsp; I used to be so good and have them done and in the mail for them to get on or before their birthday.&amp;nbsp; Oh well, I guess I kinda have an excuse this&amp;nbsp;year, right?&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/StyaYNpaJ0I/AAAAAAAAA14/bMOd5WjZX68/s1600-h/cards+003+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;My husband, I guess, got tired of me not getting his mom's card together so he decided that he was going to pick some colors and accessories for the card.&amp;nbsp; The sketch/layout is from Friday sketchers and although I deviated a bit I just love how this card turned out and I hope she does as well.&amp;nbsp; the stamps are PTI as usual.&amp;nbsp; The tea cup is from the free set they gave out this year.&amp;nbsp; I think it is the first time that I inked up any of the pictures that came in the set.&amp;nbsp; Usually I just use the sentiments.&amp;nbsp; Since my mother-in-law loves her tea I figured it was a good match for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Well, enjoy your week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none;

It is stupid but what can you do when he is military?&amp;nbsp; But Saturday we are having an Air Show here on the base and I have always loved Air Shows.&amp;nbsp; I cannot wait to take my boys to see all the planes and the shows they have planned.&amp;nbsp; My parents should be here to help us enjoy the day and I am crossing my fingers and praying that my sister and her family will be able to make it as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But today I want to share a few pictures of our short vacation we had last weekend.&amp;nbsp; Thankfully we didn't have a huge delay with our internet.&amp;nbsp; Just yesterday we were without internet for about half the day so I didn't get to post these pictures yesterday like I had hoped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none;

As I mentioned in my last post I am writing this up early and scheduling it so I am not going to have much to say to you this time.&amp;nbsp; That is probably a good thing so you don't have to listen to be blab about stupid stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

The challenge this week is punchy.&amp;nbsp; You are to use your punches and try to use them in a new and unusual way.&amp;nbsp; When I ran accross this cute giraffe I came up with the idea to use circle punches and make them look like the spots on the giraffe.&amp;nbsp; Now, silly me did the card up backwards compared to the giraffe colors but who cares, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I colored in Mr. Giraffe using prismacolor pencils and baby oil.&amp;nbsp; I bought some chalk a long time ago and used that to make the giraffe look like he was somewhere instead of just floating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I had a rough few days but nothing to be concerned about.&amp;nbsp; Just been another crazy week and because of that I am going to be late getting some more birthday cards out to family.&amp;nbsp; My brother and Mother-in-law share a birthday and it is next Tuesday, the 13th.&amp;nbsp; Since we aren't going to be back from a trip we are taking this weekend until Monday and it is a holiday they are getting their cards late as all of my birthday cards have been for everyone this year.&lt;br /&gt;So, as I mentioned before, my family decided that since we had a long weekend this weekend, thanks for Columbus, we are taking a trip.&amp;nbsp;

As usual the weekend flew by.&amp;nbsp; Thankfully with next Monday being a holiday my husband is taking Friday off and we are taking my son out of school.&amp;nbsp; We are in desperate need of some time away.&amp;nbsp; We are taking a long weekend and driving to Tahoe for the weekend.&amp;nbsp; I cannot wait.&amp;nbsp; Things are going well right now and the news we have been getting is nothing but good, well, minus a few minor things.&lt;br /&gt;Today though I am going to show you the second basket I made for the double baby shower I went to last Wednesday.&amp;nbsp; It is the same concept just a different color scheme.&amp;nbsp; I hope to have something new and special for you tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OCk1iuKXTyE/SsoXn6kKIoI/AAAAAAAAAzk/-fSxLSZ1p7o/s1600-h/Picture+049+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
