Robotz and A Giveaway from Stacy!

When I saw the challenge over at Flaunt it Fridays I knew I wanted to join in because I have a funny robot story that just happened!

While I was changing the sheets on my daughter's bed she was laying on the floor telling me how hard her life is. I proceeded to grab her laundry, pick up some toys on the floor, call her into the bathroom so I could do her hair. The whole time  she was whining and complaining, so I said to her, you really do not know how good you have it! She then told me " Mom, I want a robot to do all this work for me, clean my room, brush my teeth all those things I don't like to do" Of course my instant comment was H-E-L-L-O.... I am your robot! I do all of those things for you!

She laughed and skipped away with me screaming behind her " I am your robot you hear me??!!"

It gets better... while I was picking up a stack of papers she left on the stairs I came across this:

Yup! It is a robot brushing her teeth! (I think I am much taller in person!)

Welcome to the Twins B-day Blog Hop!

***GIVE A WAY CLOSED***


Welcome to the Twins B-day Blog Hop!

Happy Birthday to Giselle and her sister Linette!

So glad you hopped on over! If you hopped over here from Linette's blog Creativity with Recycling  then you are in the right place! If not stop on over to Giselle's Blog Yuveria's Crafty Den and start hopping from the start! You don't want to miss any of the super awesome projects and fun blog candy give-a-ways!!

Today's hop is all about Birthday bash!

Birthdays are a HUGE deal in our house! They seem to last about a week between the school party, the friend party, and  the family party! They just go on and on so it is no surprise that this last birthday we celebrated when my daughter turned 9 lasted 8 days long! Three birthday cakes later... I was finally able to pop the birthday balloons!

Here is the Birthday card I made for my little chickie this year:

 I used my circle punch and punched out the 9 from a sheet of pattern paper.

The word nine is from an old bead kit.

The square 9 is from a number game that my girls are now too old for!

Happy Birthday stamp was glitter embossed

Before you leave... I have some blog candy to share: 

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and a way for me to contact you if you win!! ( You do not have to be a follower but if you like what you see please join me!)
