Happy Earth Day

We celebrated Earth Day a few days early since the forecast was for rain.....the kids and I picked out a tree at the nursery and planted it together. Everyone helped to dig the hole, position the tree, cover the base, and of course dig for worms (fun!). What a nice way to spend some family time and help the world while we're at it.

Scrappin' Away

Rainy Day Con't

Rainy Day Blues --- Not here!!!

It has been raining non-stop for two days here!! My girls didn't have school today. Besides going to see the Hannah Montana movie which they LOVED, when their brother got home from school, they all decided to fight the rainy day blues by......

Having an Indoor Beach party!!! How stinkin' cute are they? They got out sunglasses and towels, the whole nine yards!!

In a Pickle

This isn't the best scan but my picture came out too dark and threw the color balance off since it is nighttime. I will attempt to get a better photo uploaded tomorrow. In the meantime, this is for this week's Color Combo challenge (http://colorcombosgalore.ning.com).

If the Shoe Fits...or not

My youngest daughter LOVES shoes...and has from a VERY early age. If there are shoes around, she MUST try them each on (and NOT as a pair). She is too funny!!

Butterfly Kisses

I just love this picture. It was taken the day after our youngest was born. I used one of my new prima papers as well as a lot of old stash. The journaling reads: There is nothing as sweet as a daddy's kiss.

Long Weekend Scrapping

This End Up

Journaling:
You are the perpetual gymnast. It doesn't matter where you are, you practice your cartwheels, bridges, handstands everywhere you go!!! It's amazing you still know which end is up!

Marilyn Monroe Moment

No Sedar can be complete without a Marilyn Monroe Moment....LOL. Sarah discovered the air vent at our friends house this evening.....

My New Love

Lemon pound cake....drizzled with vanilla frosting stuff....yum. Anyone have a good recipe??

Graphic 45 challenge

Last week a friend and I got to go meet one of our scrapping friends from our kit club. She lives in Minnesota but happened to be in Philly for a conference.

We took her out to dinner and just had a blast. I haven't laughed that hard in a long long time!!! Anyway, her name is Jing-Jing. She is on the design team for Graphic 45 and happens to be hosting a challenge this month. So, I thought I should show some support and attempt the scrap challenge. Here is what I came up with....

Waste

What a waste of a day. I went into the office at 9:00am for an hour this morning...only to find out there were technical issues so I was of no use. I then headed to gymnastics to relieve my husband. I sat there for 40 min or so, then had to run to a b-day party of one of my youngest's friends. I then had to sit there for 2 hours b/c she is still too young to drop off at a party. Then we rushed out of there to grab middle daughter at her friend's house. From there, off to grab dog from grooming. Home for 45 minutes. Then to dollar store to grab my jewish girls easter baskets so they could go to an easter egg hunt at another friend's house. We hung out there (it was actually a lot of fun) for 1 1/2 hours. FINALLY at 5:30, home to relax. ahhhhh....nice to finally get my shoes off!!!

Daddy's Little Girl

So this isn't the best scan but I just love the way this layout turned out. First if you are a scrapper, Michelle & Jing-Jing, you MUST go get this line. Wild Raspberry from K&Co -- I am in love with it (get the rub-ons too!!!). I had a fun time making this one. I haven't spent too much time using multiple techniques/tools/products lately. On this layout I sanded, painted, inked, glimmer misted, doodled, blinged some stuff up, used rub-ons, glue dots, ribbon, vellum...whew. Gotta use up some of my stuff since I buy much much faster than I use!!! :) I also went onto scrapbook.com and found the cutest poem from Christine Michael's....
When you jump up on my lap to give a kiss and hug,
nothing in tis world gives my heart such a tug!
The way you make me laugh when standing on your head,
acting silly so I'll look til' you face turns all red!
I know you'll always be...and I felt it from the start,
no matter how old you get you're my little sweetheart!
You're growing much too fast, time flies by in a whirl,
buy you'll always be Daddy's Little Girl!
