A Little Birdie....

I saw an ad in a magazine the other day that just jumped out at me. I loved the circles and couldn't help but think of a way to do something similar on a layout. This one features Studio Calico paper, MS edge punch, and some Lily Bee rub-ons.

Hockey Mom

I have always pictured myself as a soccer mom or a baseball mom. I have imagined myself cheering on my son as he ran down the field to shoot the winning goal or threw the final pitch of a big game. Never did I see myself cheering on my son as he checked another guy into the boards. That just wasn't in my cards. Yet, after watching my son play ice hockey today, I guess being a hockey mom wouldn't be so bad. At this age, they aren't allowed to check anyone so I have a little time to acclimate to this hockey mom stuff....he sure does make a cute hockey player. He is always thinking ahead and getting into position to protect the puck and guard against the other team scoring. He tends to lean toward defense even when pushed to play offense. But today, he came this close () to scoring his first goal after having blocked at least two direct shots from the other team.

I couldn't help but post a couple of pixs from today's game...especially for my family that reads this blog. Enjoy.

Unfair

My children don't go to sleep until close to 9:00pm. I go to sleep usually around 10:00pm.

They play all day, run around, go to activities....I sit at my desk doing work rather sedentarily.

They wake up at 6:00am a bundle of energy, ready for their day to begin. I wake up to the obnoxious buzzing of an alarm at 6:15am wishing I could get 4 more hours of rest.

I just don't understand!!

Cosmo Weekend

I am back in the scrappy swing of things. In between activities this weekend, I have been able to squeeze in some good scrap time. It is a gorgeous day outside, the kids are bouncing away in the moon bounce, and I sit with my cut of tea, cutting away. Everyone is happy.

I have been totally inspired with Cosmo stuff this weekend. The first was a lift from a layout I came across of Emilie Ahern's (at Scrapbook.com). I loved her use of the new Cosmo line. Of course I tweaked it a bit to suit my style...The second layout is pictures of Sarah making some delicious cookies. And what better line to work with in tandem with baking? -- Early Bird of course.
