Spent most of the day making coffins for Kelli's 2nd grade class.

Stamping

Sorry I haven't posted lately. Summer is a busy time with kids and other activities. I can't wait until school starts back up in the fall.

Lemon-aid holders

I made these water bottle holders to hold lemon -aid packets for Kelli and Karly's class. The last few days of school were very hot. So the teacher's brought in cooler to make sure the water was nice and cold for the kids.

Create

This is my stamping area. (the back wall that is) I added the word CREATE today. The ribbon holder, my boyfriend made for me. I took an CD holder and used it as a punch holder. My stampin' up paper is all organized in the file container (on the left).

Organizing my scrapbook paper and updating my room....

Last night and today, I spent cleaning up my basement. I took down an old desk and table and organized my scrapbook paper. This picture is what I came up with. I used my daughter's art work for the walls. Now our basement is more livable.

Girl Scouts notebooks

I found this stamp while in Milwaukke last weekend and decided to make books for the Daisy Girl Scouts that will be bridging to Brownies on June 7th.

I bought this stamp on one of our stamping trips to Milwaukee.

I have to admit, I did not come up with this design of these treats but they are cute anyways.

A Good Egg!

My Easter cards using "A Good Egg" stampin up set.

Matthew

Dear friends,

It's is the time of the year when I take the time to remember my son. Matthew's birthday is March 30th. I was only 25 weeks pregnant when he was born. He had lived for 2 days. And in that short time, he touched so many hearts. He would be 9 years old this year. I often wonder what he would look like and what he would like to do .. I know he has been taken care of up in heaven by my parents. I miss him everyday. So whatever goes on in your life, remember life is precious. Give your son or daughter a big hug and tell you love them for you don't know when they will be taken from you. Enjoy even the little things in life....


Take care everyone.

Hello

This past weekend, I didn't do much stamping; however I went to Milwaukee and visited a couple of stamping stores. I purchased a few stamps and lots of scrapbook paper. I can't wait to use them.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

All you need in life is a friend who has chocolate.

I simply adore this card. I gave it to my sister-in-law for her birthday.

New Year

I recently bought the copic markers and I love them. I have the stampin up makers and they I didn't care for them. Here is a sample of what I have been able to do now with these markers.

Well its a new year and time to make those New Year's resolutions. Well I am going to make several resolutions and one of them is to update my blog on a weekly basis. I know I have neglected this and I really want to get back to doing more the things I love to do.

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year.

Melanie
