I'm totally jumping on the...

caardvarks.blogspot.com bandwagon! Here's my card for their FRIENDSHIP challenge...I wasn't sure if I was going to pull this one off...of course I waited until the last minute and I was feeling SO SICK today...the card says, "...a friend is someone who knows that song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words!" My bow is kinda hiding it - TFL

(Materials Used: Paper Salon Stamp, Bazzill Card Stock, Cross My Heart Pattern Paper, Machine Stitching, Making Memories Eyelets, Offray Ribbon and Heidi Grace Heart Stick Pin)

Oh my Gosh!!!

...you just never know what you will see in Spokane!!! This was right here at our house LOL - I ran back - ok I really didn't run but I grabbed the camera and Ben and Mason and Stuart and started snapping pictures...evidently at the bottom of 5 Mile Prairie there is an wild life reservation...so it wasn't a surprise to some that a actual Moose could be up here...but we sure were surprised! Camryn was so funny she said it was so ugly...Mason was telling the poor thing to "get up..." and the next thing you know it stood up!





...and as you can see - there's still snow on the ground...it was snowing this morning when we woke up! I think it's safe to say we are all SICK of the snow...and are anxiously awaiting the spring...the count down to our cruise has officially begun!

Checkout the ScrapStreet Store....

Yesterday I had sometime where I could play with some digital kits from ...Scrapstreet.com this first one was BLOSSOM by Handmade Designs I just loved how this one turned out...these photos where some of my favorite candid shots of Camryn right before we moved last summer...


This second LO was made with the I NEED TO GET DIRTY Kit by Lindsey Krauss...this photo of Mason is so funny - he was so mad at us...he wanted to get on the 4-wheeler with Ben and we wouldn't let him.

I've been TAGGED

Most people that know me know I really don't like this sort of thing but I will play along...luckily for me my middle name is short LOL...here are the rules...you must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name. After you've been tagged, you need to up-date your blog with your middle name and answers. At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details).

J - jumbled (lately I feel liked everythings out of sorts LOL)
E - exhausted (I guess that's normal for a mom of 3 kiddos)
A - altruistic (I care about others and what they are going thru even if I don't talk to them)
N - nauseous (I blame that on my new meds for headaches)

So....I tag........Jennifer, (I don't know a "E" so I pick... Di :) Andrea and Natalie!

Camryn turned 5!






She had such a fun day...as you can see we went to Krispy Kreme...then we went to Build-a-Bear and we finished the night off at the Old Spaghetti Factory for Dinner!(and as you can tell from the photo it was still snowing in Spokane as of Wednesday night!) She had a great day! I can't believe she's already 5 years old!

We'll be leaving in about 40 minutes to go pick him up...so today we got the strawberry filling for Camryn's birthday cake picked up and I made these 3 cards all three will be going out in the mail tomorrow...I think tomorrow will be another card making day - I have a few more that need to get out in the mail...maybe I'll get the floors cleaned tonight before Stuart makes it home from work...good thing he's not expected home until about 7:30 pm.

Happy FEBRUARY FIRST!!!



Camryn and I had fun putting this little decoration together. It took lots of buttons and lots of pins...not to mention LOTS of patience. LOL

Can you believe its already February 1st? Today is also sketch day over at Di's blog you can check out all the LOs there http://dihickman.blogspot.com/
Here's mine...Stuart would shovel the driveway every morning before he left to work - just in case I needed to head out...I never did but it was done just in case.


Supplies: Felt Snowflake by Nicki Painter, Shabby Princess Winter Kit, Zig Zag Stitches by Sande Kreiger
