Isn't this handy?


Give your self a hand! If you didn't know what these were, you might think it's kind of sick!
It's hand soap! I like the pudgy little baby hands : )

My Schwinn Cruiser : )


Here it is...my dream bike! In bubble gum pink too! When we were camping so much last summer, these bikes were EVERYWHERE! So comfy and easy to ride...with a big fat seat (for a bit fat bum!)

I can just see it attached to the back of the trailer goin' down the highway (Brad would never do it!)

Just a little bit of sunshine for a dark dreary February day...

Does your dryer eat socks?


Well...I'm not really sure if it's the washer or the dryer, but they certainly do disappear don't they?
So here is the perfect solution for all those "one of a kinds". Of course all of these guys are too cute, and they all just happen to coordinate! I don't think it would be quite so cute with boys white sweat socks wrapped around these pots!

Cutie Bootie



Don't get all excited....these aren't for the Richmond family!

Aren't they sweet?
I came across this pattern here and thought they looked easy enough to whip up for a quick baby gift.

I had a pair of these for each of my kids, except they were made of leather and much more expensive.

They are perfect for using up scraps. I think I'll try some blue striped ones next.

More doggies...are they just too cute!?
















I really like how this one turned out. This is my kinda style. I just used bits and pieces from paper I have been scrapbooking with. The medallion is one of my favourite stamps...use it a lot.
You can never have too many thank you cards!

Oh...one more little goodie for you. Do you remember playing the memory game when you were a kid? Click here for some good old fashioned fun! You can even try to beat your time. I'm sure this is good for your brain...even if it is a time waster!
It's sad to say that we have not been sledding all winter long! Either it was too cold, or the snow melted (Christmas) when we had the time to go. So today was the day. Hanging around the freezing mark...the temps were perfect.

I am noticing however, the older you get, the faster you don't want to go and the harder the fall. The boys just don't get it either. They want to race you, dare you, and make you slide down the hill just so you can carry up the sled they don't feel like carrying. I'm whooped!

Women Are Like Buttons!


I really like this saying....cause it's true!
Love this paper....very cheery huh? It is from the Sassafrass collection from K&Co. One side is striped, the other is flowers, cut into circles, and layered with buttons...too cute...and quick!
Oh, and another new item from my weekend shop...the scalloped circle punch (red) I've been wanting one of these forever...now I want them all...all the sizes please!

My new puppies!

While we were away in Pennsylvania this past weekend, I picked up the cutest "doggie" stamp set at the new Michael's that opened near Mom and Dad's place.
All the little doggies are so sweet. I seem to like stamps with a lot of dark area to them, and several of these are like that. Check out the argyle coat on this Scottie!













Another one from the doggie set. I used the little bone to make a dog tag. And the google eyes just made him too cute. I was thinking this one would make cute cards for my boys when they go to parties etc.

I've been thinking...

I've been doing a little wondering about Valentines Day...Did you ever wonder how it went from this.....









to this? I think I'm glad the commercial Valentines has embraced his image instead!

Pink, White and Red!


A little Valentines Day Peek-A-Boo!
I actually made about 75 of these little matchbook cards for all the sunday school teachers at our church! But I wanted to make a few extras for some special people I know. Each one has a little chocolate inside. Really fun to make with bits and pieces of red, white and red leftovers!

More album pages...


Turtle Crossing....how to make a page with just two pictures. I guess it was more about the story than the pictures themselves.

How how often do you get a chance to use surfboard paper??? I think I bought the paper to make boy birthday cards but never got around to it!

I really like how the Sunset Beach page turned out. I love the colours, and of course the subject!

The Pirate page! Again, not a subject I would normally work with! Some great pictures to work with though. I printed the skull and crossbones from Google images.
