I hope you like them all. I think I am down to 2 or 3 more challenges to finish the month out so we will see what more I get around to doing. Nate starts baseball practice tomorrow so that will consume us for a little while. I love watching him play its a blast. Take Care :)

Myspace?!

here's a little quiz for you. Are you Facebook, Myspace,or Twitter?


You Are Facebook



You are social, outgoing, and excited to connect to your friends.

You are interested in your friends' lives, and you enjoy adding your opinion to the mix.



While you enjoy sharing online, you don't want everyone to know your business.

You value your privacy. Your life is an open book to those you know but not to strangers.

Craft Night

We decided that we all wanted to get together and have craft night on Saturday's. My mom , sister's and I all pick out a project that we all want to do, we get together and work on our project, have snacks and just kind of hang out together. It's a lot of fun! Here is the last project we pickedIts a pretty little table covering for the spring. It was made out of felt and then we hand sewed the flowers and little lady bugs on it. Here is the first night we worked on it.


It took us 3 Saturdays to all finish, but it turned out AWESOME! It was so neat to see how different every ones turned out. Every ones project showed the different personalities in each one of us.
Here is Mom's (primitive colors)


Kim's (has the Chocolate/Teal/Blue colors)



Gina's (The Daisy and Denim Look)


and Mine (The Spring Cheery Colors)


And here they are all together! I loved this project!



If you look back in the picture of Mom's you will see the next project we chose. The pretty fabric flowers in the vase. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
Keep watching to see what we do next and don't forget girls bring your ipods because they are bringing family together through music!

Some New LO's to Share


I'm sitting here waiting for my dryer to finish and AJ's teacher to come, but what I really want to be doing is sleeping! I slept horrible last night! I tossed and turned like crazy. I guess it doesn't help that I was up till after 1am loading my new ipod. While waiting for some of my CD's to upload to my itunes I finished a couple of pages.

First up is of Me, My mom, and my boys at their First Holy Communion.

The next one required a little bit of creativity and a new skill, blending. This was a tough one for me I have never done anything quite like it, but I tried and here is my next one

Maybe there will be more later, who knows. I really need to work on laundry, but there is always something more fun to do! Sometimes it really stinks to be an adult!

What a Day!

We made it through today! AJ was a real trooper! For the most part the test went well. They found some things in his lower stomach that they want to biopsy before getting us concerned. So now we have to wait a week for the results. So please pray that everything is fine :) Not that AJ needs anything to help him be goofy but they gave him "Silly Juice" to sedate him before the test and man did that make him loopy. After the procedure he had a little difficulty with coming back out of the anaesthesia he had a really bad headache and I guess was thrashing a lot before he came to.
I got a few pages done. I have been trying to keep up with the challenges at SSD, but its been hard with all of our trips to children's this month. so here are my two latest



Well I have to work way too early in the AM so I better get to bed! Hopefully I will get some more done over the weekend! Goodnight!

Chocolate or Vanilla?




You Are Vanilla



You are a delightful, friendly person. You are optimistic about life and people.

You are enthusiastic and energetic. You enjoy everything you do.



You are cooperative and flexible. You get along with people from many walks of life.

You're not a show off. Instead, you're more likely to help other people shine.

I really don't have much to show right now, I have been having a heck of a time getting anything finished. I have a bunch started. I know, get to work. I will try, but in my defense Grey's Anatomy is on tonight and so is ER, but I can try! :)

YUM!

For the FOBTY Challenge we have to tell what our favorite Girl Scout Cookie is. Hands Down mine is the Samoa! Who can resist caramel, coconut, and chocolate in a cookie, not me! Fortunately I have not come across anyone selling them this year, for i have a hard time just eating one or two!


The only thing I really have to show today is a mousepad I did, it started out as being for my son but I think its mine now. so here you go

I hate pictures of me, so its amazing I actually found this many of me and the boys.

Well of to bed, I think.
