--Lots of refereeing my daughters' "everything has to be equal and fair" battles. (So I ate the "unequal part" of the cookie to make them exactly the same size.)
--I'm now taking a Yoga class on Tuesday nights.
--We gave our dog Hopper, some Pop Rocks candy. (His mouth made a lot of crackling sounds.)
--I found a glass patio table at Goodwill for $22 bucks! (It was halfprice day.)
--I now need some outdoor chairs.
--I'm helping Audrie (the 6 year old) decide if she'd be more famous playing soccer as opposed to gymnastics. She wants to be on TV.
--We bought our oldest daughter Shelbie's, cap and gown for her graduation this spring. Can we say party and sigh of relief all at the same time?
--Lindsie told me she couldn't put ALL of her spelling words in alphabetical order because they didn't start with a letter from the alphabet.
--I had a little "procedure" done yesterday and am wishing I was still under the anesthesia's spell. (You can only fake it for so long.)
Anyway, on top of all that, I've been helping a lot at the girls' elementary school here lately. So for today's Sketch For You To Try, I wanted to make a little "Thank You" card for one of the teachers up there. Jen's sketch calls for three large embellishments across the top and down the side of the card, so I went for some chipboard letters. The little girl is from My Favorite Things' Pure Innocence line of stamps. This one is called Apple for You. She's so cute! Are ya'll loving these as much as I am? I want them ALL!!
Ok, I've got to go and make some more projects, schedule some more blog posts, you know, the usual! In fact, check out my Verve Project Parade post HERE!
I hope ya'll get to play with us today. Here's a little more inspiration from my SFYTT sisters who all get an A+++++ in my book!!!
