Wednesday Musings

I had a project to share but I didn't have a chance to photograph it so I'll share a picture of baby girl first day of  school as we were about to leave home yesterday morning!  I didn't have time to take her picture this morning and I was bummed because she wore a dress to school which is not something that she normally does!

Wow, I didn't get to bed until after 1 AM this morning which meant we all were running late this morning.  Baby girl dropped off at school (she is suppose to ride the bus but they haven't assigned her a bus or stop yet),   I'm at work and DH is sleeping a little later since he was on the phone throughout the night working!   We have to get ourselves adjusted quickly otherwise this is going to be a rough year. We didn't get home until almost 10  PM which meant mounds of paperwork to be signed, reading and homework only for classes that she had today.  They had a volleyball game which meant we had to eat out afterwards.  No game tomorrow but practice and team pictures and since I have to go home to attend my aunt's funeral  backup care has to be in place since DH's schedule is so unpredictable.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Wednesday!

Hit the Books

First day of school here, off to a good start and lots of emotions!  I am back today to share another card that I put together for this week's  back to school card blitz for our daughter.  The sketch inspiration for this card came from sketch #285 over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge,  All items used came from my stash, scraps of paper from other projects, stickers for the sentiment, wood veneer stars and the stack of books cut using the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge.

Take care and have a wonderful week.

Labor Day

Hello Monday and Happy Labor Day!  Today I am sharing another card that  I put together for my daughter, as stated in an earlier post she will find a different card her backpack this week.  All items used have been in my stash for for a while, love the stamped sentiment!

I not sure why I hadn't scheduled this post before now but now I am struggling to get it done.  I am sleepy, tired and anxious all in one; there is so much to do but I need to get back in bed.  DH and I had a much needed date night last night, but I was up way past my bedtime along with several emotional family crisis I am in need of prayers and more grace.  After seeing the movie War Room my daughter asked me would I be emptying my closet?

Take care and enjoy the holiday.

Hello Saturday

It's a holiday weekend and I'm trying to rest and play as much as possible.  Today I am sharing another card that I put together and sent for the FB card angel group.  Now that summer is winding down and school is about to start my play time will be limited as I'll be transporting my daughter to and from wherever her schedule dictates.  Do you have plans for the weekend or for the upcoming Fall season?  The pattern papers used on this card came from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge pad, it takes forever to use all the paper in the pad!  A stamp, some twine and a few other embellishments and this card was done!

Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday weekend.

Back2School

Hello Thursday, I am back today to share one of the cards that I put together for our daughter who is heading to high school next week.  She'll find a different card in her lunch box each day next week, this will be her first year catching the bus so it will be an adventure!  The sketch inspiration came from sketch #84 over at Can You Case It?   I used a kraft card base and  pattern paper from the 8x8 TPC Studio Homeroom paper pad that has been in my stash for a while.  I cut the bus and sentiment from the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge so I am also sharing this card for this week's Back to School challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2.  Added some dimensional dots and gems for the headlights and this card was done, I have my friend Felisa to thank for keeping my inbox full of sketch ideas!

Take care and enjoy your day.  We are expecting high temps today so I will stay in the building until I leave work for the day!

Wednesday Musings

Hello and Happy Wednesday, I have been super busy this week at work as my manager has been out. As budget cuts would have it we are a two woman office and sometimes it can be so hectic!  I am back today to share a LO that I posted on FB last week for the weekly LO challenge, it is one of my daughter and my FIL.  It is a picture of them from June 2007 one Sunday after church as they were standing on the grounds.  My FIL was tickled when he saw the picture and my daughter screamed what was going on with my hair!

Wishing you and yours a Marvelous Wednesday!

Happy Birthday

Hello Monday, today is my DH's birthday and of course I have been so busy making cards for everyone else I failed to finish mine for him.  We celebrated yesterday with family and friends at dinner; nothing fancy just our Sunday family gatherings with cake and ice cream.  If he is able to get off work early we'll go to see the movie War Room this evening.  I am sharing the card that I made for baby girl, can't get her to sit still long enough to do anything craft related.  It's as simple as simple gets, I used some pattern paper from the DCWV Neutrals and Jewels basic 6x6 paper pad, stickers, stamped the mustache and added a few pebbles!

Take care and have a Marvelous Monday!
