V.I.P

Tomorrow is Lillie's V.I.P at school and what mother wouldn't want to make a special treat for every kid in her class...............ME!  That's right I made 25 of these bad boys, spent some hours working on them, and I'm almost sure that every kid in her class with have the upmost respect for them and NOT throw them away.

 

 

 Inside each box is a little rice crispy treat

 Happy crafty Sunday!!

Sunday Dinner

We go to my parents house almost every Sunday for Dinner... I love it, my girls love, John loves it....we all love it!!  And this last time we went, I had my new camera!!  So I thought I would share what goes on at dinner.

We make silly faces

 Lillie plays her DS

 Easton licks the windows

that is what she is doing in the background

  

we take cute pictures

..and we have really good dessert!!

...a little late

It seems I'm always a little late these days, but better late than never, right?  My mom reads my blog every day....as a good mother should, and like the good daughter that I'am....I made her this.  So tomorrow morning when she checks my blog............she will see this....

Happy Birthday MOM!!

My Mom is gone for the weekend, and I have a hard time waiting to give her, her presents.  Now the kicker, her birthday was in....lets say....January, but really who's counting how late I'am.

For those of you that would like to make one for your mom, here is a short and sweet tut.

 First gather up your old ribbon holders, some paper, a wooden dowel and a clothes pin.

I take one of the sides of and trace a circle out of paper and then glue it back together. you can see in the picture below what I'm taking about, since I didn't take a picture of that part.  The purpose of that, is so when you are looking at it you see the pink paper and not the cardboard part.

Add some paper around the middle and then repeat the process.  It just depends on how many ribbon holders you want to use.

Add some cuteness on the top. 

Take your clothes pin glue some paper on all sides, ink the edges and you are done.

My Mom has the best sewing room, and this will be perfect on her sewing table.

Thanks for looking & happy crafting!

Scrap-tastic-Thursday

I have been a huge slacker on my scrap-tastic-Thursday's.  Every Thursday I sit down and start the post and the next thing I know its Saturday night by the time I sit back down to finish it.  So I was a good girl and took some pictures with my new camera.....love it, I love it, I promise I will stop talking about it.  But the first ones that I took aren't anything like they should be, but ladies...I'm working on it.

 

 

Thanks for looking, and Happy Scrapping!

mini Album

I made this Album a while ago.......probably 3 yrs ago, but I'm walking around my house and talking pictures of stuff and playing with my camera, and I have never posted on this before.... so why not.

Lillie was almost two in these pictures, look at her hair,

she has way more hair than Easton does at that age, but its was never curly like that either, we just curled her hair that day for the pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And look at her now.....she is all grown up!

A sunday Hike/Walk in the snow

Lillie has had a little crush on a boy in her class and his name is Cameron.  They get together all the time and play, they have even had a few dinner dates.... (and yes they have parent supervision on these so called dinner dates, its not like we drop them off and McDonald's play place and tell them we will be back to pick them up) yes she is only in kindergarten, but they are really good friends, even Cameron will blush sometimes when they first see each.  So this has meant that we have become really good friends with his parents, Aimee and Patrick. So we got together and all went on a snow hike!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my signature giving present

For the past few birthday parties that we have attend, I have given a cookie jar full of cookies for the special birthday boy or girl, and today it was  Peyton's birthday party.

 This time around I used some rub-ons, cut out some flowers with my cricut, added some ribbon and paper on the top of the lid and WA-LA! you have a cute little something extra to go along with their present.

I even took the pictures with my new camera......LOVE IT!
