I have some exciting news to share. No not about me but, my daughter. She was selected to be on the school newspaper. This is the first year the school will be doing a newspaper. I can't believe that my little girl will be published by the end of the month. How cool is that!?!

She is also receiving an award for being top in the state in the FCAT(this will be the second one she'll receive). State test done here in FL. It's a big deal here.

I am very proud of her!

Now, My son. Who is turning 7 this month. Has told me that a girl in his class likes him and wants to kiss him. WHAT!!!! Already!! I am not ready for this at all.

I am working on a few projects I hope to post them later.

My Scrapbook Challenges Design Team Layout

Pamela posted the Design Team layouts on the site http://groups.myspace.com/Scrapbookchallenges. I was asked to created a layout based on her sketch.
Here is my version. The title is made with cloud 9 alpha sticker with dimensional paint on them. I also used the paint directly to the photo.
close up of flowers. They have dimensional fabric paint (Light Blue Iridescent)on them. The small one is a paper punched flower cover with the paint. The large one is a Heidi Swapp Ghost flower cover with paint topped with another paper flower with some stickles on it. The scroll work is white Iridescent dimensional fabric paint with some Eucalyptus stickles over it. the dots are green Rain Dots (cloud 9).
closed up of ruffled ribbon. Yes more rain dots blue

Thanks for looking.

Where's My Getupandgo!?!?

I'm laying a bit low today. I am felling down -- My babies had a bad day yesterday. Their pet hamster passed away. The worst thing is that they only had him for about 4 days. I feel so bad for them. They pooled their money togethter to get him. I wasn't so sure from the begining but, since they worked together to buy and care for him I agreed.

So yesterday afternoon just I had to leave to pick them up from school my oldest found him in his cage. So sad -- Long night of tears.

So today I'm tired and drained. I have to get my getupandgo because i have so many other projects to do. So I'm hope that in a few it will kick in.

And The WINNER is.....

I had my daughter Rowynn pick out the name from the box.


However you really couldn't see it so we wrote it on cardstock. When DH walk into the room and said hey - why don't you use Rowynn's top as part of the name. So here it is. Read it from the top to the cardstock.


Thank you to everyone to commented and visited my blog I hope you continue stop by.
