Somebody is Mad

He didn't pick out the best pen to write his
sign. It says "No Mom and Dad"
LOL! Jacob is a little mad this morning because
we stopped him from running and screaming
throughout the house. Imagine that! It's 8:30am
on a Saturday!

I love me some Etsy

I'm thinking of starting my own little Etsy shop and I found this article on how
to start your Etsy shop, what to name it, what to sell, etc...
(http://dailyworth.com/blog/265-a-beginners-guide-to-starting-a-shop-on-etsy-)
So they share some links to a few successful shops and the first one I click on... well, let' s
just say I fell in love... very cute and off the wall.

Here's the shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/picardcreative
They sell function art with an attitude.
I really dig this:

It's a tin can lid magnet:



If this isn't me, then I don't know what is!
If you ask my husband, he will agree!

Cool new site -- Paper Crafters Corner

things. They are currently advertising in the states of Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia.

This week's sponsor is Sweet Scrap Deal, and
they are giving away a cool Unity stamp set!

Here's my take on the sketch.

Sketchy Thursdays

Earlier today I stumbled across this new Sketch Challenge site and
thought I'd give it a shot. Check it out.
http://sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/

Every Thursday they post a new sketch. You can complete the sketch
and share, then you will be entered in a random drawing for a prize
offered by one of their sponsors.

So this past week they posted this:



















and here's my take on the sketch

Couple more things

Photos of the boys working on their Gingerbread house.



















Couple photos from Thanksgiving (Nov 09)


















Photo of Jacob at the USS Alabama park



















Very old photo from when Jacob finished 4 year old Pre-school.

Gettin' crafty over here!

So the past couple weeks I've pulled out the paper and the glue
and worked on some layouts and cards.

Here ya go:
Super quick LO of the boys posing for our Christmas card photos.




















Next LO shows a few photos from our
holidays spent at home.



















This one is going into my Breast Cancer 3 day album.... I'm finally
starting to scrap these photos.


















This is just a fun one of Jacob giving mommy a big wink!

Rewind and catch up

Hi Ya'll
I'm such a bad blogger but I hope to be better this year. I'm going to try to update
at least twice a month... anybody can do that, right?
Anyway, I'll give it a shot!

I'll rewind back to October 09
The last weekend of Oct my family and I headed to Tampa, FL for me to walk
in the 3day event in St Petersburg. 60 miles in 3 days! It was AMAZING!
Really really amazing!
So amazing, I'll be doing it again this year. One little change... I've joined the Hot Pink Olives team. We will be walking in the Susan G Koman 3day in Tampa 2010!

Here are some photos from this past year's event
