I pulled out the new Sale-a-bration sets and played.

Thanks for looking! Have a nice day!

Christmas Slider Card

One of my customers wanted a Christmas card designed that could incorporate a family photograph. This card is made with all Stampin' Up! products and the picture is my oldest daughter Ariel and my middle daughter, Grace. The photograph portion of this slides out. The card fits into a business size envelope. I used an Aquapainter and the Watercolor Wonder Crayons to paint the image. The stamp set is retired - Heavenly Peace - the background image is the current Floral background from Stampin' Up! Colors are Bravo Burgundy, Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke.

Noah

Good morning! As I sat here this morning, my 7 yo son, Noah came and sat next to me. He happened to see this Blog and I showed him Sarah's picture. He immediately said, "Where's my picture?" So here it is. We went camping this past weekend and here he is being goofy. This was the most "normal" picture that he did - we are in the goofy face stage. heehee

First Day of Pre-school

09-05-07 Well, my girl is going to her official first day of school for 2007-08 school year. I home school my other 3 children. Sarah was so excited to go to school today, she barely even waved at me as I left. I am working on my Mom's Minutes right now for the curriculum I am using for Noah and Grace. Ariel is excited to start her Junior Year, so is diligently working on finishing up some assignments from her Sophomore year. I am feeling a little overwhelmed looking over this curriculum. It's okay, because steady plodding through each moment will help em to achieve my goals! I am in constant reminder that NO discipline is pleasant at the time, however it produces the peaceable fruit of righteousness by those who are trained by it! Hebrews 12- That is my FOCUS right now - discipline in my eating, work and school schedule as well as serving my family! Oh and did I mention? Squeezing in STAMPING or SCRAPBOOKING each day! heehee Have a fabulous day! Thanks for coming to my Blog - I will post a challenge later in the day!
