She did it finally!

Well yesterday my baby rode that bike with no training wheels. I am one proud mama. See video below. My friends on www.thescrapbooksite.com recommended taking the training wheels off and having her scoot along until she gets going then start pedaling. Well it worked really quick. I mean once she got it she took off. Emma had a couple of friends over today. They made shirt shaped Fathers Day cards. Really cute. Well I have so much to do to get ready for Friday.

Time is drawing closer

I can't beleive it. I just looked at my ticker and it is 10 days until departure for Brazil. I am so excited to see what the Lord will do through me. He is so good. I am trying to prepare my heart for what he has in store for me and for them.
Been working again this past weekend. I wish I had some way to iterate to everyone the importance of wearing their seatbelts. We have lost so many lives needlessly this past few weekends where a seatbelt could have made the difference. What does it take for people to realize the fragility of life?
I made some baby cards yesterday. I will take some up to the Bungalow tomorrow to sell. I think they turned out real cute. Enjoy!

A crazy week

Well it has been a crazy week. I started a part time job this past week. I am not sure if I will keep at it. Emma gets out of school next week. We decided not to do summer camp. She will stay with her cousin some and my dad if needed. Not much scrapping lately other than the notepads I made for Emmas sunday school teachers 2 weeks ago. Trying to get together things I need for Brazil. Got me some luggage and a backpack. Now our group needs Polaroid One Step film and reading glasses. For Memorial Day we went to the D Day memorial. What an experience. The sacrifices they made for our countries freedoms. I got some great photographs.

My first kit layouts from The Scrapbook Bungalow

This was fun yet challenging. I am used to having all supplies at my disposal and not limiting myself to certain things. I think they turned out well. I would love some feedback.

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers! What a wonderful day the Lord has given us! Above are the Mothers Day cards I made last night. The top one is a picture printed on bazzill of my MIL, SIL, and GMIL. The bottom is a picture of my mother and I. I saw my beautiful daughter at church this morning and she gave me a card. DH brought me some flowers (daisies...my favorite) and a card. He even started cooking dinner while I took a nap this evening. I tried to call my mother several times today and finally got her about 8:30 this evening. Hope to get to see her soon. Well it is back to work tomorrow for 24 hours. :)

So much excitement going on!

OK I finished my first project for the Design Team last week. Here it is pictured. The more I look at it the more I love it. I am so excited to represent my LSS. Shannon puts so much hard work into her business and it really shows. Her creations are gorgeous and the fact that she would choose me to be on her team. Well I can't fathom a better compliment. She is taking her LSS online and is adding items daily including this which will be a kit very soon. The website is www.scrapbookbungalow.com Check her out!

Other excitement is my dh graduated from the local community college Thursday night. He took all online courses to get his Associates Degree for his Paramedic. I am so proud of him as he took a large portion of these courses as we were building our house. He really stepped up to the plate. He looked so handsome in his cap and gown. His parents and sister and her family came to the graduation. It was a big deal that his father came because he doesn't do public events. Now he is going to go after his Bachelors but isn't sure what he wants to pursue.

I just finished 2 Mothers Day cards tonight and started on Fathers Day cards. Used so stuff from www.scrapbookbungalow.com including Tres Jolie, 7 Gypsies, and DCWV ribbon. I printed out the photos on Bazzill cardstock for that textured look. It is so timeless. Happy Mothers Day to all of you Mothers. Have a blessed day!
