Crazy Day

Today our babies turned 5, I can hardly believe it! Today has been filled with all kinds of fun stuff...we put up an above ground pool (Insert frustrated face), had big early morning breakfast with presents, spent the afternoon at McDonald's playland (due to rain) and now we are onto dinner and cake with family. Oh, I can't forget swimming in the new pool after dinner.....Brrrr!!! I'm sure it will be short lived be bring lots of smiles.

Due to the craziness of the day, the cards I made are cased from two splitcoast stampers, tomorrow when I have more time I will give credit. (Sorry) I just switched out either colors or stamp sets. The first one I plan on making with each of the new In Line Colors tomorrow, great way to show off our new colors and ribbon! Plus they were simple to make! Off to get the dinner out of the oven......

Happy Birthday Aiden and Adison!

June Happenings

Wow I can't believe we are already into the middle of June!! I'm anxiously awaiting my SU package that should arrive tomorrow with all the new inline colors and sneak peek stamp sets. I can't wait!!! Our chicken coop has been completed, just needs a coat or two of paint. (Added a photo...just had to share) All my flowers and gardens are in...huge project! I still have my hosta garden to complete (Still full of rocks) and putting in a pond. Needless to say there is never a dull moment!

Today's card is made for my cousin who was in a horrible car accident earlier this year, had 65 staples in one arm and yesterday had to have major surgery on his other arm due to the bones not healing right along with muscle growing to the bone (took over 3 hours to complete the surgery), now he has another arm with 65 staples....from shoulder to elbow. He is truly lucky to be alive! I thought this might brighten his day! (Each of the kids made a card for him also)

Hope your enjoying your summer!

Rainy Day Project

Putting the finishing touches on a chocolate gift basket and thought it would be fun to do a 4 card stationary pack with one of my all time favorite stamp sets....Like It a Latte, it has been retired. (Insert very sad face) Since it has decided to rain all weekend, I thought it would be a great day to stamp!! I can't even remember the last time I stamped all day, it was just what I needed. While I was stamping my husband was busy putting the finishing touches on our chicken coop...I can't wait to show off pictures, he has done an amazing job! We won't hear any complaints out of the chickens this winter in their new trailer house....insulated and heated.

Reminder: The last chance list is out....have until June 30th to place your order, once they are gone...they are gone! I am so excited for the new catalog!! My sneak peek items have been ordered and I can't wait to share them with you!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!

Sports Birthday Invites

Hard to believe my babies are going to be 5 in a few short weeks....freaks me out a little!! Anyway, as always birthday's are always a challenge for us boy/girl twins, to decide on a theme. Last year we had a Princess & Spiderman/Water Fun Party. Lots of water balloons involved I might add! I guess anything goes!!! This year believe it or not they decided to have a sports themed party. They thought it would be fun to play some basketball, baseball and maybe even do a mini golf course. We'll see how that one goes!! I guess they can't keep everything easy!! I got the invitations done today, just need to type up the details and add them to the inside and we'll be good to go....weather permitting that is. If it can snow the first week in June, anything is possible!!
