Grayson's band concert

Grayson had his end of the year band concert last night. We are so proud of him. This is a first year band and they have improved so much since Christmas. Just had to share a picture of him with the Baritone. Hope you have a great weekend!

Cute Teacher Gift....

Hi everyone!! Why is the month of May so crazy??? I wanted to share a quick little gift that I made for the boys' teachers. It is a post it note holder - which took about 5 minutes to make - but I think they will like it. Who doesn't need post it notes?

Jason took me down to the nursery where they grow all the flowers. It was right before Mother's Day and it was absolutely beautiful - I had to share pics of that also.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Gift Card Holder

I made a gift card holder for one of Parker's friends that is having a birthday today and I just had to share. Once again it is a case from my upline, Cindy Russell, where we made one with snowflakes - I just changed it up to a birthday one. Isn't it just great? It helps dress up a gift card to make it a little more special! It is really simple and you can make it fast with just a few items. Get in touch with me if you would like directions and to buy the stamp! Have a great day everyone!

National Scrapbook Month is here!

Wow!! Can you believe its already May?! I don't know about you but I have been a "wanna be" scrapbooker. I always have good intentions but it takes some time and preparation to follow thru. This past fall, my upline, Cindy Russell has hosted a scrapbook class once a month(thanks Cindy!) and it has made me put aside time to focus on my scrapbook. In just a few short months I have already put together six pages which is really exciting for me. But the best part is that I go meet with a group of ladies in the morning and time flies while we are having a great time! I encourage you to become a part of a scrapbooking club or just find some people who like to get together and scrap. You really get some great ideas and in the end will have something for your kiddos to cherish.

In addition, Stampin' Up! is having a scrapbooking promotion. Buy three packs of Designer Series paper (including our Specialty Designer Series paper) or 12" x 12" textured card stock, and get one FREE! This is a great deal especially to get stocked up on some designer paper. Also, you have the chance to buy a sneak peek stamp set from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog--Jumble Alphabet (set of 52; double-mounted)--at a 20 percent discount.

And last but not least, in celebration of National Scrapbooking Month, join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator for only $75 with our limited-time Scrapbooking Starter Kit. What a great way to get some of things you've always wanted at a discount! Please contact me if you have any questions. I've included a few of my scrapbook pages. As you can see they are really simple.
