Playing with water color mark on cards and samples

 

Dog Gone it....

I've been busy again creating new ideas. This is an idea I saw on Splitcoast stampers awhile ago and tried it out. Let me know what you think.

Making the Cake....

I just got home from a great weekend at Jessie and Jerry's. Jessie and I made this Diaper cake for our cousins baby. Only about 75 Pampers Swaddlers went into this thing. I LOVED making it, and hope I can make many more. Let me know if you need one.

Join me for my latest scrapbooking class. Be inspired and create an album that will be a treasured reminder of the special memories of the year, big and small. You will be glad you did!

LONG long time....

and I haven't posted. Can you believe it? Sorry everyone. Well, I'm back so enough of that. And I'm back with some exciting news.
I am now an official Stampin Up Independent demonstrator. YEA ME. Now I will be offering classes, workshops and special events. I will also be taking custom orders for cards, party favors, announcements and most anything you can think of.
I'll post pics as soon as I get back home. Right now, I'm sitting at my Mother in laws. We just finished a bunch of her yard work and had a yummy spaghetti dinner.
The boys are doing great. Jack is of course enjoying Soccer season (indoor for now, soon we'll be back outside) and Dakota is full force into lacrosse.
Last night Valerie and I took Dakota and my brother John to the Roller Derby in Essex. We all had a blast. Of course, it helped having a beer garden near by. LOL

Catch ya later.

Oh ya before I go I'm counting the days before my big trip out to Convention with Stampin Up in July. It'll be hotter than you know what in Utah but i'm soo ready.

Ms. Buteau, LNA...

Yup, I've done it! Well, almost. :) I just finished an intense six weeks of training with the VNA in a LNA program (licenced Nursing Assistant) I finished up finals yesterday. Scored 100% on my lab exam and 90% on the written. I'm pretty excited. Now on Oct. 2nd we take our state exams. I guess then it will be "official"
I'm really excited about joining Stampin' Up as a Demonstrator, now if I can find the time to do some workshop and classes it should all work out. I have to say during the past couple weeks, between moving, kids starting school, me in class and clinical everyday, soccer and football it's been crazy. BUT, I've been de-stressing by stamping. It's so relaxing for me. I will try to post a picture of my latest project. I made Halloween treat bags for my LNA classmates, so much fun

The Boys...

I haven't been working on my blog lately and with Dakota coming home next week and Jack out to overnight camp, I figured I should add some pics. Granted they aren't all new, in fact the football ones are from last year. For those of you who haven't seen the kids in a while, these are great and they include my brother John, if you know him believe me you know how priceless every moment is with him~LOL Having all three boys together in one time is beyond words. Ok, so I promise to add more as soon as I get some. Have fun looking at these for now
