Hippo Happy Birthday!

I like how his feet look like they are running!

I used Birthday bash card feature to cut the hippo. I planned on doing so much more with this card, but it was too small of a card to really add anything else!

I had a blast today shopping and having fun with some crafting friends! I totally scored! Almost everything in this pile was on clearance and I found Freshly Picked for $19.00!! Whoot Whoot!
Here is a photo of my loot!

I really chuckled when Mollie posted a photo of her little dogs at her feet so I thought I would share what is at my feet all the  time.. Hint Hint look at her big paws above!

Maybe not so little!

Thank You Turtle Slide Card

My girls and I are super spoiled! We usually have Volleyball on Tuesday night so my Mom cooks dinner for us every Tuesday!

it is so nice not to worry about taking something out, making it, cleaning up and then running out the door!

We really look forward to being spoiled and spending time with Grandma!

I thought when we went over tonight I would bring her a thank you note so she knows how much we appreciate all that she does for us. She likes turtles, I know she will think this is adorable!

Yippee!!! I'm Back!

Hello!! I am back!! We had an AMAZING vacation! Two weeks of just fun, fun, fun!

We spent our time in Georgia, Alabama and Florida and we enjoyed every minute of it! We spent most of the time being spoiled by our Georgia Grandmas, going to the beach, hanging pool side, and doing a lot of sight seeing!

I am so glad to be home! I had to go right back to work and between mounds of laundry I squeezed in a card!

First Initial Wall Art!

I decided to bring my little chick to work with me. She asked if she could take a sheet of my pattern paper to make herself a fan. She laid it on one of my tables in my office and I noticed through out the whole day my eyes were drawn to it! I looked around my boring office and decided to make a piece of wall art using my first initial.

I used Plantin Schoolbook for the Letter C and cut it at 10 1/2"

Tim Holtz distressed inks for the edges.

Then I added all my favorite embellishments.

I LOVE how this turned out!! And now while I am sitting at work I just look at it and smile thinking about all my fun stuff waiting at home for me!

Sorry if I have not been around, I am spending some much needed quality time with my little girls! The summer is already going so fast so I am spending lots of time with them. I will be back to visiting more regularly soon! Thanks for understanding!
