a little birthday celebration

Since today is my birthday and the 2nd is Carol's, I baked a cake yesterday and invited her over to have some. Here was my last minute creation. Cute I think. I don't know if I liked the premade icing though. It was tough to work with because it was so stiff. Anyway, Kenzie put 3 candles in it for me then we re did it for carol so we didn't end up with a ton of wax on the cake.
Such a cutie pie I do think!
This was what Kenzie wore to school for spring pics. That was yesterday. She was so excited to get all prettied up for school!

Roy and Carol gave me a gift card to Kohl's and since my dishes were on sale there this week, I went today and used it so I could get more for my money. While I was there I signed up for the e mail coupon program they offer so I can get more savings in the future. I was able to get a turquoise 5 piece place setting (I have wanted this color for soooooo long) and another serving bowl. I bought 2 when they were buy one get one, but the other day while I had wet hands doing dishes picked one up to dry and it slipped right out of my hands. So, now I have replaced that bowl, I will have to check and see what else I want to get for my collection. Just working on getting it all together is all.

I am looking in consignment shops for a climber for maddie for her birthday. Mom, Carol, and I want to go in on one, so we are keeping our eyes peeled!

And that is the update!

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
