Seeking Legal Representation.....

Exhibit 'A'
Exhibit 'B' Upon returning from the salon for her mani/pedi.... Lola sees a horrific sight staring back at her in the mirror.... PINK POLISH on a whisker! With only minutes to spare before Rudys arrival, Lola is truly traumatized. She is now seriously considering legal action claiming emotional distress, and gross negligence.

Erica ROCKS!

Wow! My daughter is so cool! Last night at her softball game she was asked to be the catcher (she has NEVER EVER EVER played catcher!). She was so nervous, but she got up there and did the most amazing job! She was kicking butt and taking names! We were stunned! The people in the stands could not believe how well she was doing! I am so proud! I hope, hope, hope this boosts her self esteem. With all the drama surrounding her older sister, she needs to know that shes amazing. She can do anything she sets her mind to and no one better tell her any different. Go Erica! Go Cardinals! Wahoo!

FATHERS DAY 'Man-Quet'

Oh my gosh Fathers Day is almost here! Thanks to all the great ladies on the cricut MB I came up with a fun gift for my dad as well as ALL my brothers!
My boys helped with the poem....
Grandpa - You are worth 100 GRAND and an EXTRA special LIFE SAVER! So TAKE 5 and have a super CHARGED Fathers Day! MOUNDS of love from the KISSABLE SWEET-TARTS! (snickers has an new version out called Charged)
I used bamboo skewers, silver or rust colored buckets, florist foam and a little easter grass! I thought about using glass marble things in the bucket but the foam worked 100 percent better and its super cheap! I then covered the foam with red (yep I had red grass in my basement!) grass. I wanted it to be very man-like so using black, red and yellow stars worked great! Happy Fathers Day ya'll!

Inside my Gratitude Journal

Just a couple pages inside my Gratitude Journal. I need little reminders! Of course my journals have tons of space for every day journaling too.

Go Cardinals

My daughter is on a softball team and it was my day to bring the 'post-game treat'. Its usually the same thing day after day.... Gatorade and chips. Soooo I threw'em a curve ball! I took gatorades and chips BUT THEN....I made sour cream containers in the team colors (blue and red) and filled them with kissables and reeses pieces!
I did it - I took a risk and stepped out of the box!
Go Cardinals!
(the team loved it)

Attack of the sour cream containers!

Ok seriously.... These ginormous sour cream containers contain treats for Uncle Randy. Hes a stud! He helped me with my kitchen sink issue and I cant thank him enough!
WE LOVE YOU UNCLE RANDY!
Thanks!

More cards

Super simple "hearts-a-flourish" card made just for Mom. Not too much foo-foo. I love to put 'glitter or shiny" paper behind the heart its just enough foo-foo for me. This simple design can be embellished a million different ways.

Simple Cards for Mom

Mom asked for a variety of cards. She doesnt like foo-foo stuff so I tried to keep it simple.
* I LOVE to use flowers in all of my work, however flowers purchased for scrap-booking at Michaels or Robers can get VERY expensive. I have a little tip.....I go to the dollar stores and look through their silk flowers. When I find some that I like I take them home and tear them apart! Super easy and super inexpensive!

My take on Gratitude Journals

I've made quite a few Gratitude Journals but only have these two left. (Isaac personalized Pams for her - even without having to ask me!) I have kept a Gratitude Journal for years. I love it. It gives me perspective when things get a little heavy.
The CHANCE name book! He's a proud and true Caveman and cant wait to be a Ute! Lucky for me the red and black works for both!

Doilie Card

My Mom likes to give doilies to her granddaughters who are graduating from High School. She asked me to make cards to hold the doilies and this is what I came up with.
Thanks Capadia for your delicious lace border! I love it and I have used it on several cards! Thanks so much!
