ok. i got some projects done this week. the first is a card i made for my new stamping up buddies from florida. hopefully they will get them this week. i made these cards with SU carousel notes, 1" double-stitched ribbon and flight of the butterfly stamp. i also added some bling-bling glitter. then i made a layout of haley with some more stamping up elements. i used their summer kit which came with pp, cs, stickers, etc. i added the QK tangerine font and used my photoshop skills to print out the "right now" at the top. that is one of ali edwards digital words that i bought at designer digitals. so fun to finally figure out how to make use out of the fun digital stuff that is out there. i was inspired by one of karla dudley's layout over on her blog create something today.

then i had volunteered to make art aprons for haley's class. i had some leftover material and just cut out some aprons and sewed them together. that was fun to do and i can't wait for the kids to get to use their aprons and make art! haley keeps thinking they are all hers and now has decided that for her birthday everyone should have an apron and make art. i think that is a great idea.

i am also suffering from a UTI. big time. it has really kicked my butt and i am hoping to get better soon. i bought a case of peaches at bashas and i need to can those!! oh kerry--wish you were here since you wanted to learn to can. but i will post it here on my blog so you can see.

later...L

Ack- for some reason, the text isn't loading for me and I can only see the photos, but going by Angie's comment and your comment on my blog, I get the idea. Hope the fire in your pants cools down soon!

I'm loving all of your projects!

Don't you wish they had a fireman specifically designated to help care for "fire crotch"?? I'm sorry that you are sick!
But, maybe if you stop trying to show everyone up with your massive skills . . . LOL

You made those aprons for her entire class? They are so cute. Stop being such a freaking over achiever! Maybe your crotch is on fire as punishment?
