* * Great News

Let me 1st say I have not been a good blogger and kept up with this but I am here now to share my GrEaT News !!! I set a goal to get 1 of my creation published in the Hobby Lobby magazine. I created plenty of Fall and Christmas layouts and crafts that has been what is distracting me from my blog. This is a funny task it's over 100 degrees of beautiful weather outside and I have candy canes, Christmas trees and snowmen on my mind. Halloween I just went whimsical and I guess that's what got the publications attention because I was contacted to send **2 of my creation in to photographed and published in the Scrapbooking magazine sold at Hobby Lobby nationwide. Now I am so excited about this news but there is a slight chance they might not use all projects selected so I have to be prepared for upsetting news but for now it's the positive note that both creations will make it in the magazine coming out October 1, 2010.

I know this is a odd time to be scrapbooking Halloween layouts but for you gals that know to get your creations published you gotta send them way before the season.

The patterned papers are from Hobby Lobby and bottlecap creatures embellished with beads.

berry sweet

Pickin blackberries in grandma's backyard some berries are sweet but some are sour as you can tell from JD sour face. Josh likes to eat the red berries because they are super sour but not to many you don't want a tummy ache. So many butterflies fluttering around one was on the ground Josh crept up slowly to attempt to catch it but his shadow scared the butterfly away better luck next time. One thing for sure we got plenty of berries to eat with cool whip, bake in a pie or just eat plain maybe a lil sugar.

Under Construction

This is a LO of my oldest son Josh the Squash one of his many nicknames. He is about a year and 5 months old in this photo playing with a toy chainsaw.

When I found Design Dollies color challenge BLACK, YELLOW, TURQUOISE I just had to try. The sketch was inspired from Sketchy Thursday challenge so instead of ribbon I used brads and long bugle beads for a boy tough look. Thank you to all the comments I really appreciate them ;)

Earth Day recap

Strawberry Shortcake

Fresh fruit especially berries are a family favorite. While at the grocery store I was inspired to start a recipe book on all the sweet treats I love to make. I remember eating Strawberry Shortcake when I was a girl so I'm so delighted to share them with my children.

Thank you for the inspiration

Bottle cap necklaces made with Dynamo logo on 1 side and other favorite players pictures Ching, Landin and Davis. Then decorated with black and orange beads.

Earth Day at HEB

We took our 5 plastic bags into HEB in exchange for a reusable tote bag. Our new habit to start for Earth Day and everyday. While we were there the kind girls at HEB face painted the kids K got the Earth on her cheek and Jd had to get a mustache to go with his Mario cap.

Earth day Projects

This is the 40th year anniversary of Earth Day the 1st poster amazing

I taught the girls in my daughters girl scout group to reuse bottle caps and turn them into bottle cap magnets for the fridge, bottle cap necklaces with beads, and bottle cap bracelets with fuzzy ribbons very foo foo.

Beach in a Jar

Recycle those spaghetti glass jars clean well, and it's ready to fill up with beach memento's. On our recent trip to the beach my daughter made a sandcastle decorated with seashells her favorite thing to do search the beach for seashells and decorate with them rather that play in the water. When it was time to go we took a picture of her creation then put some sand, her new collection of shells, and a little water to take home her very own Beach in a Jar. Which she can use to create another dream castle any day. My son filled his jar with sand and a hermit crab he found.



Thank you for the inspiration
