FFC-Something Old Something New

I hope you all have plans for a great weekend ahead of you.  I know we will be VERY busy with picnics and back to school planning. 

Our FFC theme this week is “Something old, something new.”  My Sister-In-Law, Barb asked me to make her some Thank You notes that she could send to the medical staff volunteers from the Cleveland Susan G Koman 3 Day Walk for the Cure.  Barb was one of the medical co-chairs for this even again this year.  I admire her dedication and know that she puts in a lot of hard work for the event.  She thought it would be fun to make cards with feet on them.  FEET!  If you know me, you know that feet are not my favorite thing, and to put them on a card was simply frightening to me.  I did get a new toy out of the deal.  I bought myself the Sure Cuts A Lot software for my Cricut (something new) and I paired it with some old Stampin’ Up! designer series papers and together they really did make a cute card with FEET.

 

See, CUTENESS!  I then realized that I have another cute card with feet on it in my gallery. 

Those are my kids feet on Peanut’s baby announcement.  Happy 2nd Birthday Kerrington.   Your little toes are still the cutest I have ever seen.

Now, go see what the other Friday Fun Chicks have done today.

Thank You Baby

Ok, I know it has been nearly 2 months since I posted last, but I have a VERY good excuse.



Yes, that is me holding my new little Peanut, which I seem to be doing a lot in the evenings. I swear, I don't remember having to hold my other two this much, but those early days are such a blur I really don't remember anything.

I do want to say Thank You to all my cyber friends for the love and support you have shown my family and I recently. I can't believe the kindness we have experienced from so many people that we have never met irl.

My Good News

A few weeks ago I said I had some good news...now that all the families are informed I can share it with all of you (although I know many of you already know. The slide show explains my good news and displays my first digi-scrapping project :) Don't worry, I have not retired my stamps, but I made the slide show into little books to send to the grandparents (and one for myself) and really didn't want to duplicate everything 4 times.
