Wednesday Wanderings

I wasn't going to post today but since I finished this LO last night I decided to share it, I didn't want to bore you all with another card since I have some LOs that I need to finish.  I have way to many  LOs that I have started that are waiting to be finished!  Today I am sharing another photo sleeve protector LO of my daughter and one of her friends last summer during an evening of golf, go carting and games at Putt -Putt Fun Center.  They have been friends for ten years and they will be going to the same high school.  I am sharing this LO for the Celebrate Friendship challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2.  I cut the word friends using the Hello Kitty Font cartridge which I added some dimensions before putting it on the pattern paper.  The other embellishments came from a Pink Paislee package that I picked up from Tuesday Morning.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Wednesday!

Gratitude Journal

As previously stated I started this journal last June and have yet to finish. I'm determined to be done by the end of this month. I am thankful for books and air conditioning on days 24 and 25 of last June. I have five more pages to complete

Teacher Appreciation

I completed these two projects for DD's teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. These projects aren't my originals you can find them on several crafting and informational websites. We sent flowers on Monday, thank you notes on Tuesday, desserts on Wednesday, I sent the bottled water w/tea on Thursday and today the post-it note holders, pen and a starbucks gift card.

Money Holder

My MIL asked me to make a simple card so that she could give checks/money to all the graduates that sent her announcements this year. It took me forever to complete the task, I wonder if she'll still use them, if she's anything like me I say better late than never because you can always use money! The inside of the card says congratulations and I stamped the envelope with a fiskars stamp.

First T-Shirt

I made this t-shirt for my daughter to wear at one of our family reunions. Although it isn't personalized with the family name, it is uniquely hers with her name on the back! I'm so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone! I used my cricut to cut the vinyl. A very special thank you to Nubian from the cricut board for her inspiration and assistance.

Family Homestead

I submitted this LO for challenges on SOC and Urban Scrappers. It includes pictures taken on Thanksgiving Day when DD went with her father and cousin to visit the family homestead in Conyers, GA.

Daddy's Helper

This is a LO of pictures taken while DD was outside helping her day shovel snow. She had so much fun especially since they went shopping for a shovel just for her. I also submitted as a Tuesday Technique Challenge over on Scraps of Color.

Fall Soccer

This is another LO to be included in DD's 3rd grade album and it is also my third completed 2010 LO! This was her first year playing on a much larger field and with bigger kids although they are all generally the same age. They had fun despite having to play in the rain and or cold several times.

Steeler Fan

When we went to Pittsburgh to visit Justin we came back home with a steeler fan. She proudly shows off the #39 jersey worn by Willie Parker. Justin helped her choose the jersey since it was a gift from him. She is saving it to wear when she is "Student of the Week" at school.

I AM GRATEFUL

I did this LO using one of my favorite pictures of my children. It was taken on my daughter's 7th birthday. I completed this LO for the November Challenge on Scraps of Color. I enjoyed working on this LO and was pleased with the outcome because my children mean the world to me!

Challenge Cards

I made these two cards as part of our SistasScrapToo monthly challenge.

Girl Power

As part of my daughter's school Health and & Wellness Program the PTA hosts an annual 5K. This LO was done as an honor to me and other parents that have a true desire to live healthier but life sometimes get in the way. We endured and finished well behind others including our children but the fact that we participated is a testament.
