It's official...summer break is here

the kids are out of school and the temps are in the 100's. Which means we are spending a lot of time at the pool. Kalee promoted from 6th grade on Monday night.

I am so proud of this girl, she is truly beautiful inside and out.





not sure where the time went. But it sure went by fast. It is hard to believe that she will be starting 7th grade in August.

I have been busy working on projects for GCD studios and I have some sneak peeks to show you.





That's all I can share for now. Can you guess what kind of project it is? I will be back with the full project in July. I am off to take the kids to their grandparents pool today. Enjoy your day!

enjoying spring break

I love April, it is one of my favorite month's of the year. The kids are home all month (off -track), the springtime weather is really nice which means lots of outside play, visiting parks and long walks around our neighborhood and lake.

Another thing that I love about April is Kalee's birthday. Yes Kalee's birthday was on Saturday and I am now a mother of a 12 year old. How did that happen so quickly? Seems like just yesterday she was in diapers, and just learning how to walk.





I am very proud of her. She is growing into a beautiful young lady and I am very lucky to be her mother.
Since the kids have been home all week I haven't had a whole lot of time to myself. I have been finishing up some projects but most of them are for calls so I can't show them yet. I got a card picked up the other day for the September edition of Cards Magazine. :) woot woot! I wish I could show it to you, it is one of my favorites (using Echo Park for the Record and Epiphany Crafts). Hopefully September will come soon, so that I can show it to you in print. :)

Be back tomorrow with some fun cards that I am finishing up today!

One for Monday...

Well it looks like the stomach flu hit our house. Kalee is home sick today and I have been very busy between taking care of her and cleaning the carpet. Not sure why kids never seem to make it to the bathroom on time when they get sick, but it makes me very glad that we invested in a carpet shampooer a few years ago.


Here is a fun layout that I created over the weekend before the flu hit our house.
It is a photo of me with my good friend Suzy West. I used the Domestic Bliss line (Lily Bee), mixed in with 1 page from the Christmas Town line for this layout.
I made those fun flowers on the page using a tutorial that I got off of the the Lily Bee blog So fun!

That's it for today. I am off for round 3 of shampooing the carpet. Wish me luck!
Thanks for looking!
