Happy Valentine's Day everyone, I hope you are having a sweet day! Guess what, my husband is a mind reader, he took yesterday off for my birthday and left with the kids so I could be alone and create and I guarantee he did not read my blog... so see he's a mind reader. Yesterday was great!!! I got so much done, so fun. One thing I had to do was homework, that's right homework. Sierra's teacher (who Pierce had last year) always sends home hearts for parents to make valentines for their kids to receive in class. I love that she does this, kids really like the surprise and they love telling their parents to do their homework. Yesterday I found a smoking deal on some lace trims so I bought up a bag full and I couldn't wait to use it... Sierra's heart was the perfect spot for it and it actually turned out the way I planned, lol. I also made little valentine book for the teachers. I loved Ellen's AMOUR book (she just taught it at mystic last week) so I borrowed her idea, simplified it and changed the papers. Thanks Ellen, you always come up with awesome stuff that totally make me want to create. These little books were supposed to be made WITH the kids. I got everything out and was all happy to get to do a project with my big kids. Pierce was so annoyed he wouldn't even sit at the table and did not want to give a book that use some mooshy word. Sierra was even grouchy about it, Gabe had the best attitude about it but he only wanted to use the black paper and kept running off. So much for my fun family activity, I ended up sitting at the table alone and then couldn't finish because I had to make dinner. So I finished yesterday. I also finished a baby gift for a friend who is about to have her seventh kid. We are all so excited for her because she has one girl and then five boys in a row and she is finally getting another girl. Angela is one of those amazing ladies who can totally handle tons of kids and make it look easy. I made her an envelope book, each envelope holds a tag where she can write info like; weight, height and milestones. I like making baby's first year books for moms because I think it makes it easier to write down the info. I hope she likes it.
I also got to work on my Stella Ruby project but only a couple of minutes. I am dying to finish it. Well, I think that about covers all my creating for yesterday. Now, I need to go make some cookies for the young women and a couple of other ladies. Wish me luck that I don't eat them all. Ok the pictures won't load ...so annoying, I'll try again later.
