Opps! Guess I Won't Do That Again!

I wanted to get all the dishes in the dishwasher. So I put one of our cups on the bottom rack These cups are at least 20 years old. We got them when Jason's parents updated their cups from the cottage a while ago. So here is the original shape.

Opps! It melted!! I guess when they say "top rack only" they weren't kiddin'!!
So, yesterday was my third day at work and it was not so bad. They not only had me at the register, they had me stocking and putting the page kits together. Which was nice cuz it kept me busy. I fell in love with one of the page kits and used my employee discount for the first time!! I am off til Wednesday so we shall see how next week goes.

I am hoping to catch up on some computer fun. By the time I get home it is about 11:50 or midnight and I am just too tired. Which is strange because I used to stay up til 2 in the morning!!

That's Right, She's My Sister

Last night I worked on a sketch. I thought I wasn't going to because today I start my new job. Since this past Sunday I have been anxious. If I tried not thinking about it, I felt okay. So I thought it will keep me busy. It worked for that bit:)

Here is the current sketch over at Sketchy Thursdays.
Here is what I came up with last night. Lindsey loved holding her little sister. She was always asking me to hold her. Of course the camera cord got in the way:p

Thanks for looking at my layout:)

Birthday Card

After seeing the Cupcake Craft Challenges button all over the place, I decided to check it out. Here is the current sketch with them.
Here is my take on that sketch. I am really into inking the edges lately.

Thanks for looking at my card:)

New Years 2005 and Job News

Here is a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.
Here is my take on the sketch. This page looks a lot nicer in person. The middle embellie is supposed to be darker but because the sticker is kind of glossy there is a glare. I had written the names of the people and the year. Jason likes it but that is because brown is his favorite color and the picture is of his Dzia Dzia. Who would pass away five months from when this picture was taken.

It was New Years 2005. Lindsey was 4, Michaela was 3 months and the other girl is Karrigan, who is the girl's cousin. Jason's Dzia Dzia and Grandma are also in the picture.

As some of you may already know...I got the job and I start next week Wednesday. I am really trying to feel good about it. The place seems relax and easy going. I can even wear sweatpants if I want!! Whoa!!

Thanks for all the good lucks and wishes:)

Friend Card

Today is the interview. I hope I don't sound stupid. I wish I didn't feel so anxious.

Okay, something positive. My card:)

I used the current sketch at Unscripted Sketches.
I also used the color challenge over at Paper Secrets.
This is what I came up with.

Thanks for looking at my card:)

Christmas Eve and Job News

Here is a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays. One of my favorite challenge blogs. I am trying to do every one of their sketches along with Sketch Inspiration.
Here is my take on the sketch. I was gonna use my kids Crayola spray paint maker but it is the mess free kind where you use that special paper. So I couldn't get a spray paint effect. Instead, I used a snowlike embossing powder in that area. I hope you can see it.

I mentioned this on twitter..I have a job interview this Thursday. It is a part time retail job at a scrapping store. The store is one of my favorites. I just have all these different feelings. We can use the extra money that I may be bringing in, but I feel anxious, nervous and a little sad. I have been a SAHM for nine years. Parts of me don't want to go back to work. I would have to go back to work in a year and a half anyway because Adela will be in kindergarten. The hours would work for us. Nights and weekends. In a way, I feel it is the universes way of telling me take this one now because I may not get another chance.

Thanks for looking at my layout:)

Christmas Sisters

Here is a sketch from Sketch Inspiration. It is a new scrapping/challenge site I just joined. They only been around since the beginning of December. I am hoping it helps me through my sadness that 52 Sketches 52 Weeks is no longer operating in blogland:(
Here is my take on it. It was another Christmas 2004 layout. It is of Lindsey and Michaela.

One of my resolutions is to improve on my blogging. I have been a little sluggish the past few months. Of course this week put a wrench in that plan. As I mentioned in the last post I was feeling under the weather, well the virus got a little mean and a few days there I was wiped out. I just went on Facebook so my crops on the farm games wouldn't die;) Thanks for sticking with me!

Thanks for looking at my layout and have a great week:)

Another Christmas Layout

Here is a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.
Here is my take on that sketch. Still working on Christmas 2004 when Michaela was a baby. On Christmas we go to Jason's parents house. Since there is quite a lot of people it takes all day to open gifts. These shots were taken when we were taking a break. We usually have dinner during this break. So we were waiting for it to be prepared.

Thanks for looking at my layout:)

I hope the New Year is working out for people. The Les house is a little sluggish. It has become a petri dish again. This time it is my turn:p

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone is having a safe and Happy New Year!! Last night we went to Jason's cousin's place for a get together. We spent the ringing in the new ear at home with the kids. Adela got to stay up and she was so excited!!

Facebook has some cool apps!

Here are some of the pictures I posted on Facebook.
Here is some of my statuses. I couldn't use all the statuses I wanted but still cool:)
I hope we all have a great year!!
