WoW! What a busy....

couple of days we've had. Friday I took the kids on our annual trek to the waterfalls in Victoria Park. It's so beautiful there, and it's one of the kids favorite places to go. The park is located in a long deep gorge, and at the end is a very high 2 level water fall. There are lots of shaded walking paths, and a great play ground complete with a series of water sprinklers! We always take a picnic, walk to the falls and back, and then head to the play ground to end off the trip! Great fun! Here are the Berg and Abbey sitting on a rock in front of the upper Falls! Saturday, we headed out to my sisters, for my nieces 2nd birthday. Here is Mya, the birthday girl, licking her lips after swiping a hand full of icing from her Dora cake!
Sunday was the annual family picnic for Daren's work. They have a ring toss tournament for the adults, a bouncy tent, face painting, balloon animals and lots of games, prizes, and candy for the kids! Bergen and Abbey both got their faces painted....Bergen actually sat for over an hour to get this spiderman look, not sure if you can see Abbey's heart in this picture!
Saturday and Sunday night we actually spend at the in-laws house and I got time to make a few cards while I was there! This first one is another one of Carla's sketches. It's not exactly the same, but I kind of adapted it and it incorporates many of the elements from her sketch.
This one I made just playing aroundlast night using up some of Debbie's scraps! I love going through her scrap box. I think I could scrap off just her scraps! I did make one other card, but the picture seems to have disappeared? I will save that for a post tomorrow!
Well I hope you all had as wonderful a weekend as we did!

Abbey had requested that we mop the floor this afternoon? I didn't think it was that bad! But I'm game if she is so I must sign off now!

Still keeping fingers crossed about my job interview, I should hear something back this week!

TFL!

Cross my heart!

Here's a little card I made last night. My MIL, Debbie, shared some of her chipboard flourishes with me a while ago, (Thank you Debbie) but I had not used one yet, so I figured it was time to break one out! Colored my chipboard with ink, use my new BG Infuse paper pack, and added some twine to "Cross my Heart"! LOL!! Not sure about the sentiment, I'm thinking I should have made the card shaped like a bra!!!!

TFL and have a great day!

Carla's Sketch Challenge!

I always love do Carla's sketch challenges, as they're very unique and I do find them very challenging! I spent most of last night and this morning working on it! Here is what I came up with for her latest one. There are 2 pics. , as one shows the colors in the card much better then the other, but you can't see the image stamped in white. It reads "Sealed with a Kiss" hence, the "x" and "o" in the flowers!

TFL!

Baby Card

I finally got a chance to sit down and make a card. This is for our friends who had a baby about 2 wks ago, but I just found out in the middle of last week! LOL! Anyway, I used the "g" studio stamps from Michaels, along with a hero arts "congratulations" stamp! TFL!

Check this out!

Wonderful Weekend!

Well, we had a wonderful wekend up at the camp. We headed up at 4 pm Friday afternoon, and came down around 1 pm yesterday. The kids had loads of fun playing in the lake, and with the rocks and sand. I don't think Abbey had a dry outfit left by the time we left! They collected about 6 tiny little toads, and one rather large one. We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows around the campfire at night! Berg and Tyrell found a good sized stick to use for batting practice, and JR made them a bow with a stick and some wire! Abbey and Jalisa mostly stuck to Barbies and playing chief!

The job interview went well, I think, but it sounds as though they're interviewing alot of people, asking everyone to keep their fingers crossed for me, as I really need this job! I'll hear, good or bad, sometime next week!

Hopefully, I'll get some time to create something later today or this evening. Missing it! I've quickly browsed everyone's blogs and all the new posts look so great! I just haven't found the time to sit down and comment yet!

Have a great day everyone!

Hey Ladies.......!

Hi All,

I just got home this morning, as my car broke down AGAIN, while we were away (seriously it's NOT a clunker either, just a streak of bad luck I guess!) checked my blog... and found 14 comments on my last post! Wow, I think that's the most I've ever had!

THANK YOU all for your kind words!

Anyway, the good news from all this is I had a phone message waiting for me, about a job interview....FINALLY! So I go for that tomorrow afternoon, so wish me luck on that!

We're headed to the camp for the weekend...yeah ....can't wait! It's so rustic, no power (generator at night), no running water.....20 mins. by boat just to get there......so peaceful and quiet! The kids LOVE it!

I do have the itch to get creative, but's it's going to have to wait for now!

I'll be back next week...TTYL
Have a great weekend everyone!
