We've been busy.....

OK.......so the end of the school year usually means "CRAZY" times! Last week - Field trip to the nature center with Brooke and 60 other crazy 3rd graders...too much fun...i loved it!!! Then it was openhouse night at school. I love going in and seeing all the great stuff my kids have been working on - they love sharing that......but this was one of the BEST openhouse events ever - such a great night!!!!!

Then next it was awards ceremony for Tyler - so cool - (ok here comes the bragging, but you guys are use to that) I love that the school recognizes the students that work so hard....but this award was straight from the president himself...."President's Award for Educational excellence" How awesome is that........signed by Obama himself (well, probably stamped - but still...........cool)

Then it was Mom's turn....off to see Jimmy Buffet. I was so lucky to get an invite from my concert buddy Sonja's friend Lynee....it was a blast (thanks girls). We ended up meeting some of her friends their for some tailgate fun and can you believe in that group was a girl i went to highschool with.........such a small world. We did some catching up on our crazy lives and chatted for a bit before the concert - so fun!!! Ok, let me tell you - these Jimmy Buffet fans are serious and there is a major party happenin'.........just people watching was entertainment enough but of course the concert was great too.

Then it was "Fun" friday - i was draggin' a bit but made it thro my day with a sweet coffee in the am and yummy lunch later - Thank U!!! Then a weekend full of poolside chats and a movie night........VERY fun!!!! Today was family time with my Dad and the gang.....swimming, playing baseball and just being together - perfect day........

so now i'm looking forward to another week of craziness........this is my life and i'm loving every minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

patchwork.....

OK......so i went to the coolest indie craft show last Sunday called "patchwork". I found out about it thru the "harvey's" blog (you know those awesome seatbelt bags) any-who....I LOVED it.... such cool handmade goodies....live bands....the works. I could have gone nuts but because i am on a budget (blah blah blah) i was good but allowed myself one treat......oh and left with a ton of new ideas....can't wait to play!!!!

If you didn't get a chance to see that show check this out: www.theochandmadebrigade.com They have something going on every Saturday in June.........

long time - no see..........

Wow....it's been a while - i've had some "stuff" going on that's kept me a little preoccupied but now things are looking up!!! Still have a long road ahead of me but i like the path that i'm headed down and see good things - great things in my future!!!!

Mother's day was soooooooooooo perfect. The kiddos surprised me with breakfast in bed - my favs...coffee and p-nut butter toast!!! They gave me a beautiful necklace with their birthstone in it.....the card was the best!!! Brooke made me a cute little book and bookmark and my dear friend Sonja gave me "this" - so perfect!!!! This mother's day will be a special one for me for so many reasons!!!

So i finally was feeling scrappy and well let's face it, it was time to step-up to my Design Team duties at TST......so these are a few pages that i did for the store. I didn't realize how much i missed my creative time until i just put everything aside including my worries......sat down and just created!!
