frame memo board

I took a 5x7 frame I wasnt using anymore & put some notebook looking scrapbook paper inside & then made cute rose flowers & attached to the outside & I can use it as a memo board, I write on the glass with a wipe off marker, good to have in the craft room to keep track of things I need to work on , etc.

the flowers up close

my reminder note to take T's picture with the bear next Tues when she is 18 months old. Hard to believe how much she has grown when you look at the bear photos. I will try to remember to post a new born & 18 month photo

anniversary & birthday cards.. Had to whip up a few sympathy cards too :(

Taylor fake yawn

Taylor does this fake yawn, usually after she has done a real yawn, its pretty funny.

She was a cutie today in her little khaki skort with a little pink belt on it.

and her Old Navy jacket..:)

making cards

I needed to make lots of cards, so I worked yesterday on a variety of cards & then today I worked on graduation cards. The 50 card in the back is a countdown to my brothers 50th bday. I think I counted that next Thursday it will be 50 days till his 50th bday..:) Mothers Day is coming up, we had a young man from church earn his Eagle Scout, a few bday, anniversaries & I threw in a couple of baby cards just cuz I had some cute paper :)

Made this cute graduation hat goodie box to give to the kids from church who we dont know very well, I will put candy in them.

I told Chuck I thought we only had maybe 3 graduations, hmm then I counted up & we have 7. Whew... I tried to make their cap in their school colors

Emmy taking a nap on T's bed, sounds like a good idea to me. I think I will quit for today. I wanted to finish some scrap pages that just need some journaling & maybe a title but didnt get to it, Maybe while T is napping tomorrow I will work on that. Nice to have a couple of days to play in the craft room..:)

Ducks....

Taylor had cute pig tails today

we were busy left the house early & went to a rummage & Walmart & Aldi & back home to clean

cute little outfit we bought a little friend who was just adopted from Ethiopia, looking forward to meeting her in person next week.

Taylors lunch, cute little plate that helps grandma give T a well balanced meal

praying before lunch

our bargains from the rummage, all these ducks for 50 cents & a cute Hello Kitty backpack brand new for $1

We had a great time playing with the ducks in our little tub of water

Taylor liked getting them all out & putting them in the bowl & then dumping them back into the water

Then putting the bowl on her head for a hat..:)

church friends

Taylor helped me hang up the pictures the kids drew on Sunday during children's church.

It was earth day on Sunday so the lesson I did was about creation so the kids drew the things God created as I read the story from the Bible to them. They did a great job

Off to play in the nursery with our friends while the funeral service & dinner were going on, Sierra is 13 months old

teeter tottering with Lillie she is 2 1/2 I think & sierra's big sister

Taylor enjoyed this rocking toy

building with the blocks

Looking out the window at the Noah Ark playground. I keep wanting to take T to play on it, but we haven't done it yet.

time for lunch. I packed a lunch for the 3 girls, they were good eaters, pnb &jelly sandwich , grapes, yogurt , cheese & cake

Im hoping this is something like the slide thing the kids are getting from Jackie's sister in OH. T really likes it...

Here is the Noah Ark, we did go in it for a few minutes before we left, but really need to people, to let T really get to try it all out, need someone on the inside & someone on the outside. Maybe Auntie Nat will go with us one day when its warm.

inside of the ark

one of the crawl through spots in the ark, there are slides, a climbing wall & lots of other cool things inside, & they have some swings outside of the ark, you could play for a few hours & take a picnic lunch, hmm good idea.. once it gets warm & stays warm, been a little cool this week havent gotten outside much.

Taylor mad side :)
