Sisterhood of the Traveling Shoebox Round 8

Here is the book I received from my sister. In this swap, we were given a word for a day for 30 days and we had to buy or make something that represents that word. I recieved an amazing stash of goodies in which to play with. All my goodies can viewed on the Cricut Messageboard under the STSB 8 thread, around page 115, post #2285. Here's the link: http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=6238405&mpage=115

In addition, my sister send me this amazing book of cricut cuts, each day is represented.

Wow - Already April 18th

This month seems to be flying by so fast. Where does the time go? Anyhow, here are a couple of layouts I managed to complete. Most of these layouts where inspired by challenges at the MSW website.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Shoe Box

I am doing this swap for the month of March. This swap is through the Cricut message board and its round number 8. We get a word/s for each day of the month and we have to come up with something made or bought to go with that word. My sister for this swap is someone I have interacted with over the past year and a half on other message board and at the cricut board. Now we are paired up for this swap. I have already made some things for her and I hope she will like them. I can't show you the full picture because she may come a visiting my blog as she stops by every now and then. So, I decided I would give her a sneak peek at some things to tease her. You will have to wait until April to view the full pictures. Here they are:

February Happenins

Here are the latest cards, layouts and photos to date. Again these past few weeks are just flying by. Also, I may not be updating as often as our home computer has taken a dump. Right now, not sure when we will get another, so for now I am doing everything at work when I can.

This one for Scruffy-Our Son is for my January 2010 Layout. We've had a lot to deal with and him and his diabetes. We are adjusting to scheduled feeding times and getting use to giving two shots of insulin a day. He's doing pretty good and our lives are centered around his needs now more than ever.

These are photos from the snow we got a year ago in December, when it snow over the entire valley. Sorry guys who live in the mid-west and east, you can keep the snow 'cuz it just to darn cold! Oh, BTW, its about 70 degrees today, can't ask for a more perfect day!

Now for the cards, working on cards and a layout this week. Getting lots done and working on those Easter cards too!





This is a photo I took at the Superbowl Party we went to, not to many people but that's OK, not into the mega party scene anyway!

WOW February 3rd Already.....

Well, This has been a busy last couple of days. On Monday, Tom's eldest son and family moved away to Oklahoma. They had a get together Saturday night. We may have to plan a trip.

Here are a couple of layouts I did this week. These were inspired by layout challenges presented at My Sketch World. I guess...I've been busy this week.


Tom's Mom & Dad, I finally got around to scrapping these photos.

This is Jake and yes he thinks he can fit in your lap.
