The Wonders Of Winter

School was canceled today!! Woo hoo!! But I still have to go to work tonight. Hopefully the roads will be cleared by then. As I am typing this, the plow trucks are on our streets shoving snow up our driveway. I should go out there and shovel that mess up;)
Here is the current sketch from Sketchy Thursdays. I had fun with this sketch.
I sprinkled white paint on the background. Unfortunately the pictures are dark. This was before I had my digi camera. The title is a sticker that reads The Wonders Of Winter. Lindsey was introducing Michaela to the snow. She was and is so happy to have a sister:)

AHHHH! Work just called me and said I didn't have to go in today because of the snow! Yeah!!

Thanks for looking at my layout:)

Thank You Card

The snow is slowly coming. We are supposed to get 5-8+ inches. Possible snow day tomorrow! The only thing is that I have to work tomorrow night so I am hoping that the roads are cleared in the evening time.

Anyhoo...the card:

I used the current sketch from Unscripted Sketches.
I also used the current color combo challenge over at Paper Secrets.
Here is the Thank you card that I made. I am also entering this card in the monthly challenge thru the stamping group I belong with at Your Special Delivery. That is the group where I pay a monthly fee and get a choice of digi stamps. There were so many cute images. I am not done checking it out!! I am using the Sammie image from Becca Kay Designs.

There is still room if you want to join. If you do join..tell them I sent you. I get a free month:):)

Thanks for looking at my card:)

Be safe in the snow!!

Happy Michaela

The layout I did this week I entered into two challenges. Here is the color challenge at Scrapmaster's Paradise:

Here is the sketch challenge at Sketch Inspiration this week:
This is what I came up with.

Sooo...who got hit with the snow storm yesterday? It just missed us by a county!!

I hope the rest of your weekend goes well and thanks for looking at my layout:)

Sorry...

Hey you all! I am sorry I am not visiting you all a lot lately. I am feeling a little overwhelmed lately. Who knew that a 2-3 day a week job would mess ya up.

Thanks for sticking around:)

My Little Spartan

I was so hoping for a freak snow storm today so I didn't have to wake up and get the kids ready for school today. Didn't happen. Oh well. Shows me right. I shouldn't have stayed up to 3 in the morning!!

Here is a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.
This is what I did with the sketch. I have pictures of all the girls in this Michigan State outfit. I gave away a bunch of our baby clothes but this is one of the items I kept. You never know..there might be a maybe. Jason says no, but you never know!! Actually there are just some things I couldn't part with. So this is Michaela, January of 2005.

Lindsey is a fan of the University of Michigan so she shrieks when she sees her pictures of herself in this outfit. The only reason why she likes that school is because the mascot is an animal, wolverine. She is just crazy about animals. I tell her Mommy's school's mascot is a WARRIOR. But since it is not an animal she wants nothing to do with it. Of course if she wants to have a career with animals she has to deal with MSU. My school is known for its agricultural work. So, in the words of Queenie Jeannie....nanner nanner!!

Thanks for looking a my layout:)

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:)
