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.

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.

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.


Melanie

Orange you sweet!


The next treat for Kelli's class, using the Tart and Tangy stamp set.
