Crazy Summer

This has been the busiest summer. I don't remember so much going on in the summer time. I thought is was suppost to be slower than school year. The only difference we haven't had homework. Three weeks from Monday we start back to school. My cricut and I did a little work this afternoon.

I forget how mcuh I love to do stuff like this. It has been so long since I have done anything with vinyl. I'm sure with school starting back I will start to use it again because the birthday parties with start back up.

Quick and Easy

I can't believe how easy this was. I think it only took me maybe 30 minutes. I still have balloons left so I may go back and add some more to make it a little more full. Hopefully I will have some other decorations for the party finished soon.

It's Birthday Time

So life is starting to get back to normal after the tornado. It has been crazy because once we made it back to school after the storm the end of school was just around the corner. It was a crazy month and then we hit summer with full force and now McKenzie's birthday is next week. This year it will be one of the smallest parties we have ever had. We only be having her friends and a few family members. I'm excited because I haven't made anything in a while so now I finally get make one of those ballooon wreaths I keep seeing.

I love the colors in this one but it wasn't really our party colors but McKenzie decided she wanted the bag with just the pink,purple and white so we will see what happens. Here is a picture of what I'm starting with so I hope it goes well.

Wish me LUCK !!

I can't belive this...

My hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama was hit by a devastating tornado. These are just a couple pictures of my office that I was able to get back into today. As many tornado's as our town has seen I have never seen anything like this in my life. Now we have to find our new way of normal around here.

What a great day...

What a great day for an egg hunt today. Yesterday in our area was awful. We had tornadoes touch down in our town. It was a crazy day outside especially considering we were to suppose to see Sugarland last night and it was outside but it was cancelled. Anyway.. Today was beautiful !! It was a little cool out but McKenzie and her friend Olivia had a great time at the egg hunt we went to. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Splish Splash ....

So last night McKenzie gave Daisy a bath for the first time by herself. It was funny to see. She got her out and thought she was done until we realized she was still covered in soap. Needless to say Daisy was really soft and clean once she dried off.

(Yes the shower curtain is Mickey... What else ??)

Being a Sweet Friend

So this a picture of McKenzie and her new friend Olivia last sunday at her house playing and they decided they wanted shaving cream beards and loving their new Justin Beiber shirts we got the day before. We had been together all day on Saturday and then again on Sunday. Monday Olivia woke sick and ended up in the hospital on Tuesday. It turns out that she had Roto virus and was very sick. She is just now getting to feel better and they haven't been able to see each other so we thought we would send her a little messge.

We sent her mom this text to her and her mom said it brighten her day a little.

Surprise

I woke up to this sweet sign on my mantel(yes there is a homemade christmas card there) this morning. Such a sweet gift from McKenzie! This of course is the photo of the day for my project life. That is really hard to keep up with a photo a day. Happy Sunday !!

Craft Day

So yesterday we had craft day at my cousin's house. It was not my day . I started 3 projects but only finished 1. I think I had so many thoughts in my head nothing was working for me. It wasn't a great day but we had fun. The only thing I did make was so little round fabric hair clips for McKenzie. They still need the finishing touches of some little button or big jewel in the middle. All in all it was a great day.

I love it

I have seen things done with peeps before but I think this is one of my favorites. I found it at " The Autocrat" blog.

LOVE it !!!

I LOVE Michelle Hill and all of the things she does. I am so excited for her first on line class!!! I finally got my kit in the mail on Monday. I hope to get to work on it this weekend. It has lots of really cute and neat things I have never done before. Michelle has a website called polka dot whimsy and she has great kits. I use to subscribe but it got to be too much for me to spend monthly when I didn't have time to do them. I decided to splurge on this one and can't wait. I will post the pictures when I finish.

I want one

I saw this picture over on Clean and Scentsible's web site. It's craft room from Pottery Barn. A friend of mine has a table kind of like this that she and her husband made. I never thought I would like a table like this but I worked at her house one day and loved it. Now I need to be off for my anual cleaning of my craft room. I think I have post every January where I am cleaning up this room because I can't see the tables.

Thanks Becky !!!

So I was successfull in sending my picture to Becky.. She put it on her Facebook and Twitter page this morning. I was so excited when I saw the email from Becky this morning. This will be my photo of the day today for my project life album.

POTD

Just thought I would pop in and share a Photo Of the Day... I am doing Project Life from Becky Higgins.. When you do this it really makes you look at the simple things in life.

Sick

I know this looks gross but this is what it has been like in my house this week. McKenzie is getting over the flu but now Jonathan and I have the crud. Luckily we were able to get tamiflu as well so that we didn't get it. Hopefully I will feel better soon and get something going in this crazy house. Have a great weekend!
