i have been working a lot lately like normal, so i get behind with blogging, but here is what is going on ...

it's spring break. ryan is being trained as a preceptor tomorrow... carol is going to watch the kids for us. i am working my normal shift tomorrow and wednesday, and then renee is giving me thursday off for helping her out so much in the last month. i have worked both of my weekends off in the last four weeks and so she is trying to give me some catch up time. we got maddie's birthday present. i have to clean it up a bit and then i will take a pic and post for you all. she will get it the day of her party. it is hidden in the shed. a good place for it! it rained today and is getting cooler here. today was a perfect day for the gloomy weather. and that is all i can think of that has happened... wait:

  1. What is a preceptor? Congrads on the toothless wonder. Hope springbreak is stress free. Pappy is looking down on you so be thankful. Will tell you my hot mess on the phone. Love you. Kiss n hug the girls for me.

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.

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Birthday Bummer!

Hey all! How are you all? I have had much better days. After all of the prep and working so hard on Maddie's 1st birthday cake, we had a no show for the party. Mom was the only person who showed up and I think that was just because she knew that no one else had come. She called me and I told her that no one showed, so 2 hours late, she came over. I was happy that some one was there with Maddie when she had her cake. This was the first step in the decorations. I chose purple, pink, orange and yellow decorations. And for step two, I added accents to the flowers and bodies to the butterflies. Then baked and iced the cake in light blue icing. I then let it sit and crust over so that I could smooth it over. Add the second layer, ice it, let it crust. Smooth it over, add the grass border to both layers. I really liked this effect. I did the final finishing touches to the cake by adding the butterflies and flowers to the cake and the cake board. I then wrote Happy 1st Birthday Maddie on t
