Here is what I did get done today



 The clear DVD cases we sell ( stampinup) can be used for so many differnet things. I for one will be using them forever for note pad holder and pen.. how cute. nothing fancy inside.. I didnt glue down the pad. just figured I would tell them ( whoever buys them) that they can get the demensions and preplace the yellow legal pad.. I cut them down with an exacto knife. but someone told me you can go to office supply stores and they will cut them down for you.. ( not enough time for that) here they are came out great if anyone has any questions. Let me know.

Shark Bait Hoo-haha!!

Ok So I had to get your attention:
So after planning to spend the whole day after 15 mins of killer -cardio and then a quick sprint to the docs. I didn't make it back home til almost 6. Didn't actually sit at my table until almost 8. Got my dvd cases all 4 and packages done) set up my table and planned on the last few things from my list to complete. I am almost finished-
But First I would like to tell you about the day I had.. and why I am still up!! Abruptly jolted out of sleep at 830 this morning with a text that read " I'm here" .. I was confused and then realized that it was for my DD. who catches a ride with our friend who lives up the street to school. ok SO I jump up run in to living room where she was last night- I didn't have the heart r muscles to move her. only to find that she has left the LR where her alarm was going off.. and she was strung across her bed snoozing away.. I yell to her - tell her I have clothes for her in the other room and grab all her school stuff. she is ready and out the door in 8 mins.. WOOHHOOO!! who knows if she brushed her hair or remembered  the deodorant I threw in her bag. -  Right on track-  I throw a stash of diapers, and other baby needs into a bag to get ready for the run to the docs and baby to go to Gmas, I get her dressed and do my Killer-Cardio .
    Run out the door only to be hit with a burst of pee-rain and  the fact that people are gonna be driving 10 miles under the limit then thinking it would be nicer to stay and play in the puddles..  SO just need to go 5 mins up the road. and I get to MIL drop off baby. head to docs. Im already supposed to be there.. 10 mins behind-.
 I don't know where I am going. I turn R then L.. then get turned around ... only 10 mins late- ( but really 20) and they see me and of course it takes 45 for check in, weigh in and me to sit in the waiting room for almost an hour. I am finally seen and I have to take 3 different meds and an inhaler.. and oh that's right I have .. blrrrrrr--brrrr.( that's a drum roll- for those of you who watch G.G) Bronchitis.. yeah.. It hurts to take a deep breath and I feel light headed all the time.. My pressure on my forehead is still there..( gave me nothing for that)- but on my way home.. NOT!! I'm hungry and I am kidless until 330- I check out this new Brazilian Cafe called O JARDIM --AMAZING!!! will go back when I have no kids again. Defiantly- I have just enough time to run into $ store saving about 40$ by getting baskets and paper there.. woot woot.. then I run to thrift store and find some more deals there. run to get dd. then gmas to get baby. then friends house to push one more thing into my already overloaded car. And home at 6pm... woosh.. took my meds ( which said they cause drowsiness) But did they? what do you think.. clock says 3:14.. am

litele bit more and Im done,,,

But before that I finished up my 5 mini calenders I think they came out ok. I love the Butterflys and the In colors. I cut out with the Big shot card board in top note design along with cork board. I then printed out mini calender for this year. and speared it all together with sticky strip and brads. Im quite proud of the work I have accomplished today despite my kiddos that were really needing my full attention tonight.. not for loving but for being a referee.. Its all good now.. just some days is harder than the rest.. so we gotta just keep swimming right? Here is the picture of some of the calenders:

concord crush, pear pizazz, and Peach Parfeit mini calenders 



The race to the finish continues

Hello All!!
I am finally done for the evening.. I got a little  sidetracked with having to deal with un-happy babies tonight. My 10 year old and 2 year old were competing for who can make mommie yell the loudest! ... One doing their chores the other wants to help.. Mommie just wants quiet... ACKKK!! So you see my dilema.. So after that fun time. they all calmed and wanted to stop doing chores and all watch tv.. If I could get pictures of them being kind to one another it would be a miracle.. BUt that is almost NEVER.. unless they are sleeping...
So the house has been quiet for the past few hours so I really got inspired and went to town.. I just couldnt help it.. I got this great new set today called Strength and Hope. ( everyone sold gives 2$ to the BCRF) very cool and very pretty.. Since I love butterflys it has become my new fave. So I created a few extra things. I opened the box and the ideas just flew!

Strength and HOpe 3x3 cards and box

Finally Feeling like I got some stuff DONE!

Hi all.. SOrRy its been a couple of days. After this week of not feeling too hot. I finally started to feel better. Friday I had the card organizer workshop. We had fun the 2 of us :) Make-up class will be coming up on the 19th of March. So no worries. I worked on and organizer for my MIL. She had to work so I got to work on hers that night.. It was originally supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour class but was cut a little short.. I believe that the weather is slowing everyone and everything this week. So there was a little bit of a delay- But it turned out great despite that:

 So there she is...I just did basic things to it. not knowing really what my MIL would like. Well after that I went to a friends to scrap. Got to cut papers for my tin and chat it up a bit. left there at 12am. Came home so exhausted, but we stayed up until 2-working on the tin and playing games( did I mention we brought home a child...my DD had a my friends daughter come to spend the night- so I finally get up to go to bed. and she comes in saying she wants to go home. She did spend the night after-all-- Just when it was time to get up in the morning .. I was jumped on- and erupted from my bed ; I was not too pleased -straight from there I went to  work on that tin--. did not leave the house till i was done. I promised that I would have it done for her by Sunday. 

Saturday night we had another friend of my 10 year olds come over and spend the night and go to church with us. I didnt have the tin to work on.. But I was determined to get something accomplished. I worked on getting my craft room clean. and made a list of what was to be done for the week to get ready for next  Saturdays sale. After making a long list. it was about 1am. HA!! I come out of my "craft cave" and both the girls we passed out on the floor and couch :) we did make it to church the next morning but not first service. I was able to sleep that much needed sleep.. Got up and got ready grabbed all our things and rushed out the door. We went to church and right from there to the grandparents/parents in laws.. and got the girls some lunch.  We were planning on getting out ears pierced that day. My DD( 10 year old) was promised on her birthday in Nov. The baby was watched and in good hands. the tin was passed off to my MIL and SHE LOVED IT!!!

We headed off to the mall. Where the piercing took place right away. No tears shed by anyone. :)  and the weekend was complete.

Happy day stampers!!!  :)

Well had our put the Fun back into FUNctional last night.. It was fun. I felt awful.. but got some good stuff done. I promise to have the organizer up here by Sunday. I had to make my MIL's . She couldnt make it so I made hers for her. I think it looks awesome so far. Just gotta feel good to get it done. Ok back to the desk.. ( which I bombed and it now can be seen) --- later ~Nina
