I can't even believe it has been so long since I have been on here. Makes me sad that life just takes over. Haven't had time to craft except for when I need a quick Birthday card and that isn't fun either.<br /><br />Halloween came and went... I did cute little spiders that had to be individually punched out and boy my hands hurt from those babies. Made a few boo bags. Turned my sweet Brooke into a Jellyfish that she loved until it was time to trick or treat and then she was upset because of the umbrella- hard to hold when you are holding a bag too!! But it was fun. Here are some pics. I forgot my camera most of the night but managed a couple. I have to get one from a friend of Kaelyn she took while we went around the neighborhood... he was the best Urkel ever!!<br /><br />Boo Bags...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO0JfFD94ECKA35lSTQnp3EO8XfgXUlii5n4c70i294D5qrRW4sV0HaWiNc2sAqUEhI6-Ldvu3lG-3xsxQ6eW-gTUXSRZmr6jPggaETDofsnQBJJEVEheokyCpFAbY72sFAWS6N4KORD_0/s1600-h/halloween+treats+2008+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO0JfFD94ECKA35lSTQnp3EO8XfgXUlii5n4c70i294D5qrRW4sV0HaWiNc2sAqUEhI6-Ldvu3lG-3xsxQ6eW-gTUXSRZmr6jPggaETDofsnQBJJEVEheokyCpFAbY72sFAWS6N4KORD_0/s400/halloween+treats+2008+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275422725813728466" /></a><br /><br />Spiders...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOESXFe0Ohf4Wdh3xysDUrvAu0gXHakTr1HEY1R22UIIsDUT2-SdXL3YIv3Acq7ay9ie5RrA4z7mN9urFrYINUSJBb1p2j82_bJzViZWXJ21jS21PcNWtnPPDs1v7urqDQblMGHlvSuVeJ/s1600-h/halloween+treats+2008+(10).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOESXFe0Ohf4Wdh3xysDUrvAu0gXHakTr1HEY1R22UIIsDUT2-SdXL3YIv3Acq7ay9ie5RrA4z7mN9urFrYINUSJBb1p2j82_bJzViZWXJ21jS21PcNWtnPPDs1v7urqDQblMGHlvSuVeJ/s400/halloween+treats+2008+(10).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275422700810101042" /></a><br /><br />Ethan...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN2RS5lAh9DSSjvWzxJENwxiaV1diJLPo4fonmNDmn67Ls5oXItKrrVqGiELRsI8rocFe-zpbT1xcVFnJi99ixI8X0RipNy0iS3XX-pJ_ue9b99eCD5fPWCnc7H98kn1qV9w6GLpsdmpmB/s1600-h/halloween+2008+(7).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN2RS5lAh9DSSjvWzxJENwxiaV1diJLPo4fonmNDmn67Ls5oXItKrrVqGiELRsI8rocFe-zpbT1xcVFnJi99ixI8X0RipNy0iS3XX-pJ_ue9b99eCD5fPWCnc7H98kn1qV9w6GLpsdmpmB/s400/halloween+2008+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275422692300196706" /></a><br /><br />Brooke...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwfGkwwCZe-QT4sn5rr7_smI1K-D3CVcapFod-HgMDwrlGnT4nSKj6E7Ne9L_nwn4tJpKdIZFvPhEjJ1w-699R4FTD0T55oI5Y7hgyKlIXldUNsYyox4J88QMHuC-NfG7JFiFEz03hUJQw/s1600-h/halloween+2008+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwfGkwwCZe-QT4sn5rr7_smI1K-D3CVcapFod-HgMDwrlGnT4nSKj6E7Ne9L_nwn4tJpKdIZFvPhEjJ1w-699R4FTD0T55oI5Y7hgyKlIXldUNsYyox4J88QMHuC-NfG7JFiFEz03hUJQw/s400/halloween+2008+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275422687290456594" /></a><br /><br />Well, our dorking laundry room flooded again the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. And all that slate you saw below had to be pulled up and we await the process of someone coming out to fix the damage. It took 4 or 5 full days of multiple LOUD wind machines drying it. Oh it was so loud. But I am forever thankful that I was home.<br />And that my neighbor was home to save me!! He had to come shut my water off. So ladies if you are still reading- Learn how now!!<br /><br />More to come soon. I will working on lots of Christmas cards and items. I have a few to take pictures of and post. till then, thanks for stopping by.Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-45148734962686368912008-10-16T10:33:00.000-07:002008-10-16T10:52:22.456-07:00November Necklaces...I have to put my little plug in for November specials with lia sophia. Business is going so good and my calendar is busy busy this next month but there is always room for more parties!! You won't want to miss the specials this next month. With our regular savings plan you buy 2 and get 1 of your most expensive items half off and up to 3 additional necklaces at half off!! You can cross lots of names off your list this way... (teachers, hair dressers, friends and family alike).<br /><br />Here are some pictures of the beautiful jewelry you can find on my website to order. Book a party and you can earn it for free!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDu3bY4XANGz3vkBmbFwTEBK0bf7VceKkdsAQFE-7GfDwuOUySlXXnB3O09AQuTF4imWoRKxseSdzzUT5hplYaAZxreFbh1xnifrmjU4U49KM1WVYSjk6xiBUsZcHQi3E06F2yY6ejwoxK/s1600-h/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(10).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDu3bY4XANGz3vkBmbFwTEBK0bf7VceKkdsAQFE-7GfDwuOUySlXXnB3O09AQuTF4imWoRKxseSdzzUT5hplYaAZxreFbh1xnifrmjU4U49KM1WVYSjk6xiBUsZcHQi3E06F2yY6ejwoxK/s400/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(10).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257809509035861298" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjrYZCshwSZwDNhiPdn5MpG6R0Y_EsjbUfE0_V9h0PueCCG9z9gz0ym4vGpdo92DdJFnPxr0sH4z9HyVEAJr9cRiACjcQgW3too768m-KOm_6xSOvrdCOYoHEOKLbioxaZN0BNJ7HKxD-l/s1600-h/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(7).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjrYZCshwSZwDNhiPdn5MpG6R0Y_EsjbUfE0_V9h0PueCCG9z9gz0ym4vGpdo92DdJFnPxr0sH4z9HyVEAJr9cRiACjcQgW3too768m-KOm_6xSOvrdCOYoHEOKLbioxaZN0BNJ7HKxD-l/s400/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257809521024320850" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKKLshNFvcU5eDRndJP1RhunIhfPgv8WdgLKOiq13ugXVfdJbcusb6o8SviN_Fv9SUbVs4rimmOqP9AaslDglfSuvKTaIzaA4hHW-f8ZijmxoiYAIpIoVfvaBF_GddgMIjNoubmTsknDKj/s1600-h/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(12).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKKLshNFvcU5eDRndJP1RhunIhfPgv8WdgLKOiq13ugXVfdJbcusb6o8SviN_Fv9SUbVs4rimmOqP9AaslDglfSuvKTaIzaA4hHW-f8ZijmxoiYAIpIoVfvaBF_GddgMIjNoubmTsknDKj/s400/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(12).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257809524718345746" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmFqn814ZtRRhzDyp9fBzea3dE_eVfrDg7FhrzVOKoRGnKj2YF6MAuV1soEehiy0ii5NYp29Op0zfoXZKKcO31MKRXaHxkgJt6mjd8qpKaT6kJ0JI5YPgYak_TfUUpI-h3tGbiassgcer/s1600-h/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(11).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmFqn814ZtRRhzDyp9fBzea3dE_eVfrDg7FhrzVOKoRGnKj2YF6MAuV1soEehiy0ii5NYp29Op0zfoXZKKcO31MKRXaHxkgJt6mjd8qpKaT6kJ0JI5YPgYak_TfUUpI-h3tGbiassgcer/s400/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(11).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257809527523159666" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWOmlMVCCudvn5Gkkn3CPJ69JL-rqzq2OaxCjt89o4ZuLriAJfFlsVwGO6vmFTr90KrwHKSZ6oISJ0_0ywNzorB-uQlrfSYc2ITT-YgCh7HDkFMBNjv7rn1tD-3LfgiJ_2o4SloiFYfg_/s1600-h/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(16).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWOmlMVCCudvn5Gkkn3CPJ69JL-rqzq2OaxCjt89o4ZuLriAJfFlsVwGO6vmFTr90KrwHKSZ6oISJ0_0ywNzorB-uQlrfSYc2ITT-YgCh7HDkFMBNjv7rn1tD-3LfgiJ_2o4SloiFYfg_/s400/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(16).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257810438561433442" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH55evFY8c8NhHXjCH6WBdmgbqwB8Ka-DZ9xIzxurzc3waLrO2jbE9iSve-7LLrpuMgapNsx4CT4zpOPrwb-quw_5zNERZ4hsbXeZluuGXwJPTsHaSCabLkHG33aAcgeQt62L-TQea64IJ/s1600-h/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(14).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH55evFY8c8NhHXjCH6WBdmgbqwB8Ka-DZ9xIzxurzc3waLrO2jbE9iSve-7LLrpuMgapNsx4CT4zpOPrwb-quw_5zNERZ4hsbXeZluuGXwJPTsHaSCabLkHG33aAcgeQt62L-TQea64IJ/s400/lia+sophia+trend+trays+(14).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257809535163857410" /></a><br /><br />And with a lifetime guarantee behind every piece you can't go wrong.<br />www.liasophia.com/lmyoungLori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-84236869793190863592008-10-14T17:09:00.000-07:002008-10-15T08:03:37.161-07:00Back "Home"Four years later and home is still 2 time zones away. We miss it even more with every trip back. I can't wait to find a way to get closer to D's family and mine. I would miss the beautiful scenery up here but it would be so great to just be home.<br /><br />We had a blast at the OU/TX weekend all but of course the final score... but spirit just isn't anymore apparent than on the Dallas Freeways... here are a couple of pics to enjoy. my favorite is the bevo hanging from the bell. 25 miles from the hotel to the game took almost 3 hours.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74h92PqKbNoBt6Br50i9VME0nCv1jcTTp7E39AMYfxIyEqakIQ40ZYFPuHh2z0ddPdU2UJD5LoadGP838b9s-4F14xk5MwY4pIpv9e_KY6jvfhWBo0o4HSZfkKY9LTogZDK9qvkeM651R/s1600-h/game+day+traffic+(7).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74h92PqKbNoBt6Br50i9VME0nCv1jcTTp7E39AMYfxIyEqakIQ40ZYFPuHh2z0ddPdU2UJD5LoadGP838b9s-4F14xk5MwY4pIpv9e_KY6jvfhWBo0o4HSZfkKY9LTogZDK9qvkeM651R/s400/game+day+traffic+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257393601050179490" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwpOvUQ3jpOWoWQEuzvtQJ3-0rvBS8ddgBPVSNj1owGQFXoqKGyA1lVPVLzFbtoVdbzGAFYlkfH5-S-1I4DZCg_mkwE-oIuZf7Q_3nDecgrJqKs9_lLjk81uKY1iDUBEI4wrEhcP9Nrzso/s1600-h/game+day+traffic+(10).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwpOvUQ3jpOWoWQEuzvtQJ3-0rvBS8ddgBPVSNj1owGQFXoqKGyA1lVPVLzFbtoVdbzGAFYlkfH5-S-1I4DZCg_mkwE-oIuZf7Q_3nDecgrJqKs9_lLjk81uKY1iDUBEI4wrEhcP9Nrzso/s400/game+day+traffic+(10).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257393605862263186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkJaP-S1zMnrfX9o8VRxAamdB7nnh2WZ3Cw_pWLo3LTdNNiHwKtudubPABpuJ8ujdLyh5yEV0-Es5r1aLgX6nbTJR56Ees4RyLSAo030BePXleQheNFAoKQ_hq1Dxnmmiou9JnF3SRxPHr/s1600-h/game+day+traffic+(9).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkJaP-S1zMnrfX9o8VRxAamdB7nnh2WZ3Cw_pWLo3LTdNNiHwKtudubPABpuJ8ujdLyh5yEV0-Es5r1aLgX6nbTJR56Ees4RyLSAo030BePXleQheNFAoKQ_hq1Dxnmmiou9JnF3SRxPHr/s400/game+day+traffic+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257393614828789826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibOpJFaGfX8eCrW_YJEJutetRUZDVywQUqEKWrkWnTpbBrRFfhzOSxhbTSIviG5LuMsvTyut0rcdC0GFbY2GoV9VzHRE_lhbOJDrPz_RIKIOYHE_gCE8jVtmSgUc22UTwmj264cti8D6JE/s1600-h/game+day+traffic+(6).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibOpJFaGfX8eCrW_YJEJutetRUZDVywQUqEKWrkWnTpbBrRFfhzOSxhbTSIviG5LuMsvTyut0rcdC0GFbY2GoV9VzHRE_lhbOJDrPz_RIKIOYHE_gCE8jVtmSgUc22UTwmj264cti8D6JE/s400/game+day+traffic+(6).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257393625997033602" /></a><br />We had fun taking a few pictures by the stadium too.

I bought a little set about 2 months ago and still can't figure out how to add it. But this one from the cutest blog on the block was FREE and EASY.. 2 words moms love to hear. <br />http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/backgrounds.php?cat=39 that is the link, if I knew how to let you just click on it I would do it like that but I don't know how..<br />So...<br />I sit down to blog for the first time in a month and can't believe it has been that long. I am so aware of the time I don't have anymore. I have to find it again because I miss just being able to make a card. My craft room has become a class room and I am not able to make it both. Despite all the space and organization. <br />Homeschooling is apparently harder than I thought it would be. I am so not a teacher. I mean we are doing good but I don't know how teachers do it. Other than our children are always more respectful and eager to please their "real" teachers more than their parents. They can show us their frustrations and emotions when they just don't get it. I have learned that I learn completely different than my daughter... leading to some of the frustration. She can't seem to understand how I just don't understand why she doesn't get it!! Doesn't that make you laugh??<br /><br />We are about to head out of town for the OU TX Red River Shootout!! What a blast!! The kids are excited to see our family again and my newly 13 year old boy can't wait to see the game... tell you the truth either can his dad!! BOOMER SOONER boys..<br />We made the cutest tie dyed shirts and I had red fingernails for a week. I have to upload the months of pics off my camera and post one later.<br /><br />Hopefully I will be able to craft once we get back in town.. but for now just a little update to those wondering where I am.Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-25039304577269505732008-09-04T16:00:00.001-07:002008-09-04T16:08:54.086-07:00Fall is here!!Temperatures are cooler colors are changing. School has started and all is starting to settle into a routine. I have started homeschool with Brookelyn and that is going great!! As soon as I can figure out how to have some "mommy" time, I can start to craft again. I miss it. <br />I did stumble upon a fun website today while looking at one my favorites blogs. It was so much fun. http://yearbookyourself.com/ Go and have fun remaking yourself into all the different era's. I always wondered what I would like in the 50's or 60's not to mention the different haircolors. So fun!! I will post the pictures when I figure out a good way.Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-5938210602930754192008-08-02T16:37:00.000-07:002008-08-02T16:52:11.015-07:00Laying down the slate...I know this isn't crafty- well not paper anyways. But we got the backerboard down last night and this morning I got in there with the thinset and put down the slate. It was easy and hard work all at the same time. I love how it looks. Tomorrow we will grout it and then hopefully on Monday I will be back into business doing laundry!! Here are some pictures of the progress. You will see half the wall is painted because I painted before the washer and dryer were out- now I can finish. I also threw in a great one of me no makeup and no shower... <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7KrUC3IHIDasopljeMH1wM0vQ-WHoDkze2DERP0E49aE-wlFDPVn1XlsVa7aeIqxS3OSAPXLufu5clJhtwL342OAlvrMK7iOAnItIzcd1UNGcPv_NIRiR0rALZIrR7xa2vOPhWYO-zSJ/s1600-h/laying+the+slate+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7KrUC3IHIDasopljeMH1wM0vQ-WHoDkze2DERP0E49aE-wlFDPVn1XlsVa7aeIqxS3OSAPXLufu5clJhtwL342OAlvrMK7iOAnItIzcd1UNGcPv_NIRiR0rALZIrR7xa2vOPhWYO-zSJ/s400/laying+the+slate+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230071269118946066" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaTHJONEYDVitSGjnKLZA4zqtMh0mVoFj1BVe5NUmg5Sn8WAcbIpWiK3a04dhOjr6ASb_uyzjJAwFyNGuWh4GQmMJl1erJU4WmSElOQkn_uFruIbn6FFCVlg_1ZoNCARBDI-BfW1Gno9bJ/s1600-h/laying+the+slate+(7).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaTHJONEYDVitSGjnKLZA4zqtMh0mVoFj1BVe5NUmg5Sn8WAcbIpWiK3a04dhOjr6ASb_uyzjJAwFyNGuWh4GQmMJl1erJU4WmSElOQkn_uFruIbn6FFCVlg_1ZoNCARBDI-BfW1Gno9bJ/s400/laying+the+slate+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230071283411800274" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhs1kgJPBjCDnYKe7lTRJsmMuKhGUhgOtNvDiyTF98OcChXpTdkBcvCssYhLWXjTbNJB7vHlpQ500lLkNv6LC567cdteR8puDVuKi3kcHap5aMO7crV5shr6mblgH606lxea5ma77-s_B/s1600-h/laying+the+slate+(9).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhs1kgJPBjCDnYKe7lTRJsmMuKhGUhgOtNvDiyTF98OcChXpTdkBcvCssYhLWXjTbNJB7vHlpQ500lLkNv6LC567cdteR8puDVuKi3kcHap5aMO7crV5shr6mblgH606lxea5ma77-s_B/s400/laying+the+slate+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230071286721035378" /></a><br /><br />and oh the pretty toes...Brooke and I had to do our toes and fingernails...

I just can't seem to fit blogging into the day. I have been so busy with the kids and lia sophia that I haven't had much time to paper craft. I seem to be swamped with other things. <br />Last weekend was the Microsoft Picnic. It was so much fun as usual and with over 200 pictures this year and then tripled because I haven't scrapped any of the years I am not sure what I will do with all those pics. But it sure was fun this year. The kids really loved the BMX motor bike riders that did some really cool tricks. I got the flips with my camera and if I did a slide show you could see it all yourself. What fun. <br />Our washer and dryer we bought in September 07 has had a SLLLOOOOWWWW leak that dripped dripped dripped down the wall until the ceiling in the garage in July dripped dripped dripped and decided to rain and pour!! We found the culprit to be that connection behind the washer and immediately took action. Well once the insurance companies decided we decided to fix it ourselves to save a little money. So we pulled and cut the damaged portion of the flooring up and it took us 7 hours just do a 34" x 36" section. It was 2 inches thick and didn't want to come out of it's place. It was so hard. Many of you have seen my husband and he is strong- we just knew we would pull up the floor and have the whole process done in our one day. But now we have the new plywood down and we will finish it this weekend. We are going to put slate down and I am excited about how nice it will look but not too excited about all the work. I am just glad we work so well together.<br />But before we finish the floor.... This Friday we have our homestudy for Kaelyn and Brookelyn's adoption by Dalton. We are so excited. The termination hearing was by far one of the most important days thus far. But the day of finalization will be even BETTER!!! It just keeps getting closer. Thank you Jesus!!<br /><br />My little brother and his wife bought their first home and closed on it just the other day. I sat down and made a cute card for them. I loved this set when it debuted in the catalog some time ago. But never really used it as much as I thought I would. I paper pieced all the boxes with some fun paper I got at M's- it is a K&Company stack. I also used liquid glass from CTMH on the flower vase. The chipboard letters are their last name initials and I covered the letters with coordinating paper. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvjy4UJRtfR4z6o_gk03AWSG7bisnsQd0cRxV5WY7bPbqE20ZiqVhhorr7gww1PW_jc3csjr09UYw917TpFbokeHK3kOSIcIhHyeBqfL9sR-r-kwGrLyDQbTBDcVCJzVAEBhs-A7XDn-Z/s1600-h/moving.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvjy4UJRtfR4z6o_gk03AWSG7bisnsQd0cRxV5WY7bPbqE20ZiqVhhorr7gww1PW_jc3csjr09UYw917TpFbokeHK3kOSIcIhHyeBqfL9sR-r-kwGrLyDQbTBDcVCJzVAEBhs-A7XDn-Z/s400/moving.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228664243441014978" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9k0KhL6ySjVlnaTx9IIwctpxv2Jssy96EwNdrBLpkIRsX1MbULEp3s-sHvD2TUEpKNxIa5BjvEigIccIttGiwVFnYkjv7C1oGGJW0LXNrvk10KvuFncJPk3aa0OdVjNDijEfxc7kPm-wh/s1600-h/moving+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9k0KhL6ySjVlnaTx9IIwctpxv2Jssy96EwNdrBLpkIRsX1MbULEp3s-sHvD2TUEpKNxIa5BjvEigIccIttGiwVFnYkjv7C1oGGJW0LXNrvk10KvuFncJPk3aa0OdVjNDijEfxc7kPm-wh/s400/moving+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228664259270088866" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvcv57DXK4LOMn-b2v0qY9OmxTUIib-fi51iZO4liUUv_-layll3kkkNMPL3pysDHE66sOHanmrCNsgB4R_3yawbLCQnmAvcbuYOG-ncxXUdtgU2EG2Aul7uZIZ971fhYroKihPj77mGvt/s1600-h/moving+(3).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvcv57DXK4LOMn-b2v0qY9OmxTUIib-fi51iZO4liUUv_-layll3kkkNMPL3pysDHE66sOHanmrCNsgB4R_3yawbLCQnmAvcbuYOG-ncxXUdtgU2EG2Aul7uZIZ971fhYroKihPj77mGvt/s400/moving+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228664266393272562" /></a> <br /><br />Here is another fun card I made. Using a new set from the Purple Turtle Stamp Shoppe (http://www.purpleturtlestamps.com) It is called Space Cadet. I just love it. I random stamped a whole sheet of white card stock with circles from a solo's set and then the fun little stamps in the Space set. I used Holiday Red, Topiary, Sunflower, and Dutch Blue (CTMH)Was making it for a birthday card but then decided my hubby would like the spontaneous card and the cute little sentiment of "Fly me to the moon." And I was right. I will just have to make some more and use the number to replace the sentiment for a cute birthday card!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsW7T6-49muJ0VikYuIUsZO0hUECktHHRXqQrG-zlnsb5FhdT0H1pg2EYzCtugauja7vQ25Y1a0LS2cUAtKsWiQbAPjPu0vjlhA1oYysuZf8rWzcdyLIdmjdYHgmxFuqSuB31idcGCKds/s1600-h/space+cadet.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsW7T6-49muJ0VikYuIUsZO0hUECktHHRXqQrG-zlnsb5FhdT0H1pg2EYzCtugauja7vQ25Y1a0LS2cUAtKsWiQbAPjPu0vjlhA1oYysuZf8rWzcdyLIdmjdYHgmxFuqSuB31idcGCKds/s400/space+cadet.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228666653834425778" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAoN0ZnKMaqpMWCScmEwNY0Ux-RBzOpVhmZ30ENRSAjMKB42srTnBiZAy1pDNCyXj-J0N9dgW2UFjYu62nSqRiD-g7c7JhxEC1iqb19RYXyTaa5CAkQIL8m9TRsMbpy-S0dKCQxLo9JnkL/s1600-h/space+cadet+(3).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAoN0ZnKMaqpMWCScmEwNY0Ux-RBzOpVhmZ30ENRSAjMKB42srTnBiZAy1pDNCyXj-J0N9dgW2UFjYu62nSqRiD-g7c7JhxEC1iqb19RYXyTaa5CAkQIL8m9TRsMbpy-S0dKCQxLo9JnkL/s400/space+cadet+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228666235722857058" /></a><br /><br />Then one last one. I went to the A Muse store in Seattle during the Women of Faith weekend and got this cute little set called Stud Muffin... it is this little mouse with a dozen sentiments to go along with it. I decided to leave this one blank until I need just the occasion to use it. But I think it is so cute. And I NEED every color in these little polka dot cards too.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaFMHbWR8dUwwh0-jgPx0DszqFGmgjdu4S2HLjkkDOkj9NT54_F-KIeeBjPCWsbVF0FkcY8JmNcFOARhbAQUMPlzjoGXWVuzjYHMV2q8DzrGuo0zVOScGzY2Fzlqx0NE0cwwwCJRE2HbKy/s1600-h/stud+muffin.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaFMHbWR8dUwwh0-jgPx0DszqFGmgjdu4S2HLjkkDOkj9NT54_F-KIeeBjPCWsbVF0FkcY8JmNcFOARhbAQUMPlzjoGXWVuzjYHMV2q8DzrGuo0zVOScGzY2Fzlqx0NE0cwwwCJRE2HbKy/s400/stud+muffin.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228666246203728658" /></a><br /><br /><br />I hope you enjoy.Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-82062342374417042612008-07-14T22:37:00.001-07:002008-07-15T18:31:36.302-07:00Family Fun and a Card...Now that I have recovered from the weekend and done my laundry and cleaned house I can post about the weekend... <br />Well, we had a blast at the ocean this weekend. It was beautiful and just so fun to get away from everyday life and spend great quality time all together. Our church does an anual Family Camp at Ocean Shores and I am so glad we went. I have some great pictures to share with you. The time we spent down at the beach was really pretty. It was so windy and the fog was still hovering over part of the beach just before the water. From the room it looked as though the wind was blowing the sand. But when we got down there we realized it was fog!! So silly.<br />Ethan was absolutely enthralled with the beach and sand. He at first didn't so much like the feel of the sand in his toes or the wet soft packed sand moving beneath him but once he let go of it all he just loved it. We hunted for sea shells and found sand dollars and crabs. He brought back a bucket of water and half crab shells to show Kae and Brooke and told them his went crabbin'... It was so fun. <br />The temperature was just perfect too. It was only about 65 during the day so a light jacket was definately a plus but even still down on the beach in the sun it felt perfect!! The wind made it a definate place to bring your kites. The kids or should I say DAD had so much fun flying the kites. Even when one got off it's holder D went and ran for it and put it all back together. We can't wait to go back.<br /><br />Dalton flying the kites with the kids...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAhXDvkKXE-r4uQEZfl-nhgbYP93wOsg-pUzz9oU_rvQv4aQdmdRamwqaSft1EwFaXuHQU6CkHWtPcwaHwsjI_FqjCYm7wPCQVFLydS-B9EGjKgVyvMSE4KoaSobynBsVi9OkwTpmrHuC/s1600-h/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(24).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAhXDvkKXE-r4uQEZfl-nhgbYP93wOsg-pUzz9oU_rvQv4aQdmdRamwqaSft1EwFaXuHQU6CkHWtPcwaHwsjI_FqjCYm7wPCQVFLydS-B9EGjKgVyvMSE4KoaSobynBsVi9OkwTpmrHuC/s400/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(24).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223415472996795426" /></a><br /><br />I am so CUTE!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgho6g2eoWm4GQ0JxYGsE_rCLtXRyEAwoRJAq8e-MyclhWwSP8uAZ3-63lZfdvJZyRj9A9BDDr3B7nZTKk4CLFG8ZIYOmNjDDYMbYU7KYXJK3TOvknwnkisZRz1Eaq3ONGPhk5cDmnup4O/s1600-h/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(43).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgho6g2eoWm4GQ0JxYGsE_rCLtXRyEAwoRJAq8e-MyclhWwSP8uAZ3-63lZfdvJZyRj9A9BDDr3B7nZTKk4CLFG8ZIYOmNjDDYMbYU7KYXJK3TOvknwnkisZRz1Eaq3ONGPhk5cDmnup4O/s400/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(43).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223415479047175986" /></a><br /><br />The boys walking in the fog...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzDvmWvpKJa8IXlVZ4G9L0V9YOQLdcXQc2ZmXViSfwMapo-N_hCnLLNcLKtKat3WDgCqb2CXfksClhIr1TDiBLT_N7Sa_SiFQZRbPn1mKyRV3arYUIToHgaKlZBCiZczaKTW6yX5DSQTFW/s1600-h/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(62).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzDvmWvpKJa8IXlVZ4G9L0V9YOQLdcXQc2ZmXViSfwMapo-N_hCnLLNcLKtKat3WDgCqb2CXfksClhIr1TDiBLT_N7Sa_SiFQZRbPn1mKyRV3arYUIToHgaKlZBCiZczaKTW6yX5DSQTFW/s400/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(62).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223415485895109106" /></a><br /><br />"I am going to fill the bucket with the big wave guys!!"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuUvYdVAtio9luZEjWDqewJ6sLWe57uXWQhNj0J_XHQAHnrElhtpwxD5225kyruWzzDGh3oGdR5qbmtwtn1S-F9w7Xqs0ykcPZxDDAhoopVLC_XGroG5myGY-TqGaiJMxjfUxpRbJNTkpY/s1600-h/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(71).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuUvYdVAtio9luZEjWDqewJ6sLWe57uXWQhNj0J_XHQAHnrElhtpwxD5225kyruWzzDGh3oGdR5qbmtwtn1S-F9w7Xqs0ykcPZxDDAhoopVLC_XGroG5myGY-TqGaiJMxjfUxpRbJNTkpY/s400/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(71).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223415487976576546" /></a><br /><br />"Look at the crab sleeping mom" He didn't know it was only the top half of the shell.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56vjW9GXLmOSRc7BpDUIJChSLKptASrRT0PpNWeXp0K0PJOpuH8jyLB5NEF3KSi_xHjxoi1rKSif-cI71Kd22ZJfFpFDVPk6Guguwhkp-UAjqkPOryWDkVHz0lYnku1o_u5zZ6xWIqoQB/s1600-h/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(72).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56vjW9GXLmOSRc7BpDUIJChSLKptASrRT0PpNWeXp0K0PJOpuH8jyLB5NEF3KSi_xHjxoi1rKSif-cI71Kd22ZJfFpFDVPk6Guguwhkp-UAjqkPOryWDkVHz0lYnku1o_u5zZ6xWIqoQB/s400/Family+Camp+08+Ocean+Shores+(72).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223415496565497010" /></a><br /><br />The waves started coming further, faster, and stronger... the kids loved jumping over each roll.

We get to go play at Ocean Shores. We are all very excited to get away for a few days and just be together and play. So it's early here and I am just getting ready to finish packing and water my plants. Our back patio and garden is just looking so spectacular with all the pretty flowers and plants that are spilling over and growing so full and lush. I love it.

I am so sorry to not post in such a long time. Summer life around here with three busy bees is just really busy. That and it is really hot in my craft room lately. Which leaves me to no creating and little computer time. My room catches the afternoon sun.. and no A/C up here in the great Northwest. Well we could have it but what for?? A couple of hot days in the summer doesn't seem worth it. <br /><br />Our family had a GREAT 4th. We did a fun parade with the neighborhood. I have to show my youngest 2 who rode their decorated bikes...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJlhgiqIAN9DM7cw0yELxxtAncQxRjNmvuajs9rJUcedVb3Y88SGszO3wrFwTj-iptdJixePQAUrlhPh6x5TO_tJxUHrRHi7pnHloMKAenFJqOuKS6m4g_EZmAgHD8Ch3rHOkJYQmHYb6P/s1600-h/4th+of+July+2008+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJlhgiqIAN9DM7cw0yELxxtAncQxRjNmvuajs9rJUcedVb3Y88SGszO3wrFwTj-iptdJixePQAUrlhPh6x5TO_tJxUHrRHi7pnHloMKAenFJqOuKS6m4g_EZmAgHD8Ch3rHOkJYQmHYb6P/s400/4th+of+July+2008+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221588578717482146" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-S-VcyCho1H44x78I1sUxJfUBjxP9TF88yGbnIy_RDgUhVzC02ZD9JNp7x7ayjuuE-RsrkJ2F0qqueyXWw38H-QBnj1sSeM7uIJ31Oh8Q3Kt42Em7gSHF9SDNd0IUM_7GICDQAmID0lDs/s1600-h/4th+of+July+2008+(3).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-S-VcyCho1H44x78I1sUxJfUBjxP9TF88yGbnIy_RDgUhVzC02ZD9JNp7x7ayjuuE-RsrkJ2F0qqueyXWw38H-QBnj1sSeM7uIJ31Oh8Q3Kt42Em7gSHF9SDNd0IUM_7GICDQAmID0lDs/s400/4th+of+July+2008+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221588580833678194" /></a><br /><br />Then it was a great day of BBQ in the park, face painting, and water balloon fights.

Kaelyn played great. But the first pitch of the second game took Kaelyn out for a few innings. He swung the bat and the ball hit the bat, the home plate, and then his right eye... we had quite the scare but he is okay. Here is a picture of his souvenir from the weekend.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsk3S8BH3XnDMMCKzD-8YhCBLKz8WpBCExjDWd-KTbLsN7bAVTnRZPXr_ZHs2bdMr7jBjSJ6qHzEUdstcU1QmKubwYBCJbahPiojhDlXJciWihpe62HkRZa_3oypJAxMqe4RTXrQeHVDFG/s1600-h/tahoma+all+star+tournament+2008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsk3S8BH3XnDMMCKzD-8YhCBLKz8WpBCExjDWd-KTbLsN7bAVTnRZPXr_ZHs2bdMr7jBjSJ6qHzEUdstcU1QmKubwYBCJbahPiojhDlXJciWihpe62HkRZa_3oypJAxMqe4RTXrQeHVDFG/s400/tahoma+all+star+tournament+2008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221592069491698898" /></a><br /><br />I did get some new stamps that I ordered from Addicted to Scrapbooking... click the link on the right side bar if you want FAST ship and GREAT prices.

Again I used scraps from the Retro paper stack and CTMH- heavenly blue and chocolate card stock. The stamp set is also theirs From Me to You.. This was a fun one to make. The scallops I actually punched circles and cut in half and stuck them down in a row overlapping each other. The chocolate strip hides that. The squares are pop dotted with foamies and the center of the flower has 2 layers popped up. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6OZsJt5vtOYI1Tq0pndv1cXGl84epTGkdjegAJ-luSzdPI5owFRZvo4-EkD2lIfbdy9CKhyphenhyphenhMmdl_YXDUL0wYgU3vsVVwGZHtS1KQObULEHE3yXlJMzPrjRid79dmwoVvoFBv9Jsbw6G/s1600-h/thank+you+card.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6OZsJt5vtOYI1Tq0pndv1cXGl84epTGkdjegAJ-luSzdPI5owFRZvo4-EkD2lIfbdy9CKhyphenhyphenhMmdl_YXDUL0wYgU3vsVVwGZHtS1KQObULEHE3yXlJMzPrjRid79dmwoVvoFBv9Jsbw6G/s400/thank+you+card.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216200124478614546" /></a><br /><br />I hope you enjoy.

I am going to lock myself to my craft chair tonight to make up some much needed thank you cards to have on hand... and birthday cards. Promise to post later.<br /><br />I did however look at all my favorite blogs and then some and decided to follow the link for a typing speed test. Silly given I am so tired and don't really feel much like it- but here are my results!!! Not too bad. Might have to try again some other time. I figured it would be a breeze- it is one of my favorite games on Webkinz... :o)<br /><br /><a href="http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com" style="display: block; width: 300px; height: 100px; background: url('http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/img/badge1.png') no-repeat; padding-top: 50px; padding-left: 60px; color: #009933; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-family: Times New Roman, Arial, serif; font-size: 40px;">53 words</a><p><a href="http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com">Speed test</a></p><br /><br />Have a great night.Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-44132406429087519902008-06-18T14:46:00.000-07:002008-06-18T14:56:03.073-07:00Hello<span style="font-size:180%;">Weather Report first- cloudy again and only 55- did I enter into a time machine and it really isn't June??</span><br /><br />Father's Day was BEAUTIFUL!! It was the first time we saw sunshine in a week and it lasted the whole day and was gone as quickly as it came in. So sad. We went and saw Kung Fu Panda at the IMAX and rode the rides at the Fun Forest below the Space Needle. It was the best day!!<br /><br />I can't believe school's out- I know some of you reading can't believe we just got out. But it's true. I need to live somewhere that there is summer. This is just depressing.<br /><br />So, Kaelyn made the All Stars Team and is so excited. I made door hangers for a few boys because as yard signs the rain would kill them. This has been as far as my creative mojo has gotten me. I just can't seem to create when the weather is so gloomy. But I know I shouldn't have a pity party and grab some perky paper and play.<br /><br />Take a look at how cute the sign turned out!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinACmY6zFmtENyF5VXdKImmVmnjH4PYMuCx7_FRK9QGcoGavjhWUuoAqH6c5GVSYCJSmP0OkYC77sOuKmLABmJISeTjcAqRvw6vLK4GMJwB-MnOn7fBMUuMyh1k9JAOAt4HiCKn5biRW0s/s1600-h/all+star+sign+08.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213342981286057314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinACmY6zFmtENyF5VXdKImmVmnjH4PYMuCx7_FRK9QGcoGavjhWUuoAqH6c5GVSYCJSmP0OkYC77sOuKmLABmJISeTjcAqRvw6vLK4GMJwB-MnOn7fBMUuMyh1k9JAOAt4HiCKn5biRW0s/s400/all+star+sign+08.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And here is the card I made D for our anniversary...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7cQVAHIo2kpuRHw3VSodIixQTU0ogaUGsjEHhtKZPLFtnKeBiNfX8FvWtqwWFX_ihXi1-O2DWb10JvSUcuBeDENJa1Vvqtxvlzu0l5VZMka8rwvUIv5iXCyRRmaoCY-rnLTvJwQr5LA31/s1600-h/father's+day+08+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213342986612046834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7cQVAHIo2kpuRHw3VSodIixQTU0ogaUGsjEHhtKZPLFtnKeBiNfX8FvWtqwWFX_ihXi1-O2DWb10JvSUcuBeDENJa1Vvqtxvlzu0l5VZMka8rwvUIv5iXCyRRmaoCY-rnLTvJwQr5LA31/s400/father's+day+08+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKf2t0nkpxzISXPQqdUvQq2cp5KtyxPjKNT4rg5X1ST6D-YQBZeCE2E2dTiq0uzTOx3TopWVku1UU-NcHIDPn1pip5BoDcMK-hayD2eH7zsCRsNPmauJOtqWUiRGfIewbQTd5i78no4h_/s1600-h/father's+day+08+(3).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213342998504253330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKf2t0nkpxzISXPQqdUvQq2cp5KtyxPjKNT4rg5X1ST6D-YQBZeCE2E2dTiq0uzTOx3TopWVku1UU-NcHIDPn1pip5BoDcMK-hayD2eH7zsCRsNPmauJOtqWUiRGfIewbQTd5i78no4h_/s400/father's+day+08+(3).JPG" border="0" /></a>Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-952555570764433562008-06-11T20:07:00.001-07:002008-06-11T20:10:02.614-07:00Darn Gas Prices...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVsnSc2AXETNyOtXyN30tCyY45co8QfZiJSBd-ayM-8D-hhYEjrzL7wtA7dmJMMivd04JvWb183D-svJS4KAVJTvAanuyGq7NScI9hrtdbIE7urB5RJLJtCJC_lZxWJytJ2NvGs2FfwZm8/s1600-h/6a00e54eeec8a1883400e5534b22e68833-350wi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVsnSc2AXETNyOtXyN30tCyY45co8QfZiJSBd-ayM-8D-hhYEjrzL7wtA7dmJMMivd04JvWb183D-svJS4KAVJTvAanuyGq7NScI9hrtdbIE7urB5RJLJtCJC_lZxWJytJ2NvGs2FfwZm8/s400/6a00e54eeec8a1883400e5534b22e68833-350wi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210826505602200242" /></a><br />I saw this over at Mother's Helper's Blog and couldn't resist sharing it with you!!

But I promise to load up pictures of today. It was perfect weather 49, light wind, and no rain during the race. <br />I finished 13.1 miles in 2 hours 15 minutes. I really wanted under the 2 hour mark... but completely happy given the hills I don't run!! My girlfriend Heidi was right behind me and Christi did the whole marathon in 4 hrs and 40 minutes. Mike, Heidi's hubby came in 20 minutes ahead of Christi. It was a great day!! Way to go everyone!!!<br /><br />More tomorrow.

I had a Lia Sophia party last night and it was super fun. I made up some "what's hot" bingo cards that I will have to take pics of later.. but tonight I am studying the course for the millionth time. I run my marathon tomorrow. Can you believe it's finally here? Where it seems like forever ago I started training- it also seems so hard to believe that it all comes down to tomorrow. And the craziest thing ever is all of us are trying to decide which one to do next. We are hooked. But this time I am making my hubby do it with me!! I can't wait. <br /><br />Wish me luck and say a prayer for me!! The weather forecast is almost perfect. High of 54 and chance of showers- well no chance it will rain. Just hoping not too heavy!! <br /><br />And then I promise more artwork. :o)Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-79363351836255820222008-06-03T23:40:00.000-07:002008-06-04T07:44:47.376-07:00DoodlesI absolutely love the author of Homegrown Hospitality blog. I love all of her stories, her faith, crafts, and doodles. She is one amazing woman!!(http://homegrownhospitality.typepad.com/homegrown_hospitality/) I have saved a few and tonight I actually printed one off. I did one for my older son and daughter. And I love how they turned out. But I am now in search of a GREAT white marker!! Mine didn't do the job at all. So I stuck to chocolate for my dots and stripes. I still need to matte and frame them for their rooms but they are colored which is half the work. Coloring isn't really work- much like painting for me very theraputic. Hope you enjoy.<br /><br />For Brookelyn<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje4NWP3_DxETSecegb2d8RkFZ3WAsmaIjJsvyPmKQK6SCo3Kjyl64rk8JFVrfRTLw76fF7Q5JSXBsDTWcc89-geWnM30tAt0FNN5adTuElRSpM9tCt23Sd9UIr8kBPcxw1gK2FDbotovsj/s1600-h/doodles+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje4NWP3_DxETSecegb2d8RkFZ3WAsmaIjJsvyPmKQK6SCo3Kjyl64rk8JFVrfRTLw76fF7Q5JSXBsDTWcc89-geWnM30tAt0FNN5adTuElRSpM9tCt23Sd9UIr8kBPcxw1gK2FDbotovsj/s400/doodles+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207914545743688898" /></a><br /><br />Up close look...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmBxzHnvs5vWT8CdjGL84g-vAmSuEpRIcCT0_DRkGdYpyJ5iGh-6zDaOBnjMu6LMxYQ3bBPlFajc8bfL6j55tpNfTBPt5lc6pH4mLbCGlyXPXWtgOrm27KdhN1AWVR6Whb-alNzitl1FV/s1600-h/doodles+(3).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmBxzHnvs5vWT8CdjGL84g-vAmSuEpRIcCT0_DRkGdYpyJ5iGh-6zDaOBnjMu6LMxYQ3bBPlFajc8bfL6j55tpNfTBPt5lc6pH4mLbCGlyXPXWtgOrm27KdhN1AWVR6Whb-alNzitl1FV/s400/doodles+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207914554645381794" /></a><br /><br />This one is for Kaelyn<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi72l629u0QHaGC4g3FamCMJb7B6hpYk4JfqEtb9KvPU2-GVDd-NtMtcw40NbN_7kHQLkOqqQkrgt206dmRn9kqhoKAUDOJw52jDwQaueXeNu3RSrmcbPhyphenhyphenCLKfs_h6mwkUYgQVCqrcICB2/s1600-h/doodles+(4).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi72l629u0QHaGC4g3FamCMJb7B6hpYk4JfqEtb9KvPU2-GVDd-NtMtcw40NbN_7kHQLkOqqQkrgt206dmRn9kqhoKAUDOJw52jDwQaueXeNu3RSrmcbPhyphenhyphenCLKfs_h6mwkUYgQVCqrcICB2/s400/doodles+(4).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207914557449049010" /></a><br /><br />up close...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf9dg6AthHo_woMwQ7vR6-FOmAWjpK14D5gVlHGlB33PKB-afFVrT02Ym6MJ1Dlf7uhjDVqHYY4FHFxLLyk_G45MrCTPxNVbkn7hRfRHqMoq0Cl6wXvE3Torju0PXx8CRZeF6h-bGteoLk/s1600-h/doodles.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf9dg6AthHo_woMwQ7vR6-FOmAWjpK14D5gVlHGlB33PKB-afFVrT02Ym6MJ1Dlf7uhjDVqHYY4FHFxLLyk_G45MrCTPxNVbkn7hRfRHqMoq0Cl6wXvE3Torju0PXx8CRZeF6h-bGteoLk/s400/doodles.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207914563104513634" /></a>Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-55649599286802741432008-06-03T23:30:00.000-07:002008-06-03T23:39:49.015-07:00These boots...Hello again. I have to share a little story and some pictures of my little guy.<br />So funny tonight Ethan came up to me and said- "Mom my feet are so big!" I wasn't looking at him and his excitement just stopped me. If you know Ethan you can totally hear the whole expression in slow motion but intense "you gotta see this!" So, I looked down to see Daddy's boots and instantly said "Oh Ethan let me get the camera!!" Being the total photo op boy that he is he granted my wish and did a little show!! Here are his pictures!! He is so funny. But as you will see by the last shot he really was done! He wanted to see what the boots looked like. Sorry Ethan, mommy just couldn't stop. But I have to say I am not sure what was cuter his boots or the 4 shirts he layered up. My little Northwesty Boy!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCT9n15f6ExpZdC0za9aObR_QIZnNs6SHDGocT_o7fSMf1KGidE_KaDxzspph8oxl0W4jWhC7kzzHn8Dl4giwLUe4OLWZCBH7nW6MaMVtlRecDA4d-XMkfrepFLsZT3MAvaRsc6Yq0dITP/s1600-h/these+boots+6-3-08+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCT9n15f6ExpZdC0za9aObR_QIZnNs6SHDGocT_o7fSMf1KGidE_KaDxzspph8oxl0W4jWhC7kzzHn8Dl4giwLUe4OLWZCBH7nW6MaMVtlRecDA4d-XMkfrepFLsZT3MAvaRsc6Yq0dITP/s400/these+boots+6-3-08+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207912077595796642" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhOkYTmx-jJuakQlp56Izx8hbaamS1sLzLmxJBxlNt_yCz4Cv0i64UHEJmViTcRwxWqpiC0ptKdzBzT1xp7ZmmN6ldxri54mL8x_yinKwfgax6Drk39w1B6L6n-4t-ObLvNJKNJB-PumUO/s1600-h/these+boots+6-3-08+(3).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhOkYTmx-jJuakQlp56Izx8hbaamS1sLzLmxJBxlNt_yCz4Cv0i64UHEJmViTcRwxWqpiC0ptKdzBzT1xp7ZmmN6ldxri54mL8x_yinKwfgax6Drk39w1B6L6n-4t-ObLvNJKNJB-PumUO/s400/these+boots+6-3-08+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207912089844725362" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgif0ugMhwyovmSC3puoov2hJ2_p3bfl2q-avt76XXj5VlpBfYFwmm_xpIfV_MKSAqWK76o-mIjV0EkX-IqHKmht0zK2sSjoLmJ9zmy5ce_sVef-otB5QxgdxK0Va1ynv8y6cjLx24k_8y/s1600-h/these+boots+6-3-08+(4).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgif0ugMhwyovmSC3puoov2hJ2_p3bfl2q-avt76XXj5VlpBfYFwmm_xpIfV_MKSAqWK76o-mIjV0EkX-IqHKmht0zK2sSjoLmJ9zmy5ce_sVef-otB5QxgdxK0Va1ynv8y6cjLx24k_8y/s400/these+boots+6-3-08+(4).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207912092308241826" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluYZ8QQDZkn7MjGibdarj8C3BYT4nxriXpzXBrvb7oz5qu89Dp-7jDSSxJq_hEPDvGd7Rjxc-lnTVRWMt7W0NZUsZo5Y7aUxM6aEdqorXBDiqUO5xt6mndzR4Gi1tLrOMkZW3eOjgVjbK/s1600-h/these+boots+6-3-08+(5).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluYZ8QQDZkn7MjGibdarj8C3BYT4nxriXpzXBrvb7oz5qu89Dp-7jDSSxJq_hEPDvGd7Rjxc-lnTVRWMt7W0NZUsZo5Y7aUxM6aEdqorXBDiqUO5xt6mndzR4Gi1tLrOMkZW3eOjgVjbK/s400/these+boots+6-3-08+(5).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207912098884133618" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEstSVLZBi5MoODlXpEdT6xd0Y149_80IR0domIkru_Pl30c7Jhx-YZyZQESpA2phR9H2WekgnNGzRh2WznRGUKh9pXLjC3wgnuJO3iMzmV6ZKDWQKniLN8QIwzjRucAXa6H7ZtjB2F0G_/s1600-h/these+boots+6-3-08.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEstSVLZBi5MoODlXpEdT6xd0Y149_80IR0domIkru_Pl30c7Jhx-YZyZQESpA2phR9H2WekgnNGzRh2WznRGUKh9pXLjC3wgnuJO3iMzmV6ZKDWQKniLN8QIwzjRucAXa6H7ZtjB2F0G_/s400/these+boots+6-3-08.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207912106436796066" /></a>Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-76767938273365510432008-06-03T10:36:00.000-07:002008-06-03T10:48:51.782-07:00Little Treasures of the Heart...Good Morning!! It is a yucky rainy day here. Ethan has been playing is PBS kids so I thought I would take advantage of the time and play myself!! I didn't clean up after myself last night and wanted to use the little jar I talked of last night with another set that has the cutest saying "let your light shine"... paired with the lightning bugs from the other set and Voila SO CUTE!!<br /><br />Stamps: Treasures of the Heart (flower) and Little Treasures (jar). I am using Topiary and Black CS and the left over scraps that I used last night... but what a difference a night can make. There is also liquid glass on the little bugs but I am not sure if you will be able to see it. I also used my cuttlebug for dimension on the layering pieces. I love how both of these turned out. I hope you enjoy!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55qwD0igRSJ-u5j_tr26XuBd2fEarSS_SclnIQikSZWkp11c0SNH5MK9uIGP1Ay0Co11n8r60f5qY-FNDtJl8lu1UoRB4jiERRXI2VL_V2L1RsmSE-ejPdlYuVSjHNuvHlN9r0qdNwNiO/s1600-h/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(5).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55qwD0igRSJ-u5j_tr26XuBd2fEarSS_SclnIQikSZWkp11c0SNH5MK9uIGP1Ay0Co11n8r60f5qY-FNDtJl8lu1UoRB4jiERRXI2VL_V2L1RsmSE-ejPdlYuVSjHNuvHlN9r0qdNwNiO/s400/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(5).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207711499922571394" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEBI7QloTLgFOWhgYuKYzKPVIYudn8IGpKs_UUX4Jp7OjAvQVeVuWbfYvDWsTUCs58-cJS3btwAPHPNYq2Z6g_L0pLo6luvvSk5uG-6MuEG9tDCQu6IS09UZ9RmVY6lvUFu_FDSBkYqMCB/s1600-h/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEBI7QloTLgFOWhgYuKYzKPVIYudn8IGpKs_UUX4Jp7OjAvQVeVuWbfYvDWsTUCs58-cJS3btwAPHPNYq2Z6g_L0pLo6luvvSk5uG-6MuEG9tDCQu6IS09UZ9RmVY6lvUFu_FDSBkYqMCB/s400/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207711504217538706" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFXUTDQMvY2oMoJmC89DaMDY2TIncCifPTQeUH782yxQfsQ8HcFhBjJrMgzvZg5lIxkZp9jPUNgL-pjMoBHMqP12V8Ur2txe4QEwcBhEKTEkF-dI7X-Qcy6I1-Nj1mfRaIq1mgd85jmgr/s1600-h/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(3).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFXUTDQMvY2oMoJmC89DaMDY2TIncCifPTQeUH782yxQfsQ8HcFhBjJrMgzvZg5lIxkZp9jPUNgL-pjMoBHMqP12V8Ur2txe4QEwcBhEKTEkF-dI7X-Qcy6I1-Nj1mfRaIq1mgd85jmgr/s400/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207711512807473314" /></a><br /><br />This last one is just so simple but I love it!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAKEUh3kXPl1oq_YK_UWKFKDTdUalt5n_SoMpTUPTse8MvTuytT5kKX2J8nGbh5Nx-ERjSGIKtUlwI10PbkFzQnfPDJXRXEL-_WeoiVfCBdxA7Z3l1jfUHd8hg9eDnuZzve-8TTK3XvMn/s1600-h/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAKEUh3kXPl1oq_YK_UWKFKDTdUalt5n_SoMpTUPTse8MvTuytT5kKX2J8nGbh5Nx-ERjSGIKtUlwI10PbkFzQnfPDJXRXEL-_WeoiVfCBdxA7Z3l1jfUHd8hg9eDnuZzve-8TTK3XvMn/s400/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207711521397407922" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8C98bRIQ3id0k0Rh1aR4bsiKMjQkp4UHfJz2hpIuXLzoURz48jpBqzk8VGw9Ddn8jF32CFBVucJffu04OYGJhp59LyX0KHVI_JxhyMAFabaXF9eCxs0_MenQH7efvbNzEEsSl46vPYTb4/s1600-h/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(7).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8C98bRIQ3id0k0Rh1aR4bsiKMjQkp4UHfJz2hpIuXLzoURz48jpBqzk8VGw9Ddn8jF32CFBVucJffu04OYGJhp59LyX0KHVI_JxhyMAFabaXF9eCxs0_MenQH7efvbNzEEsSl46vPYTb4/s400/6-3+little+treasures+and+treasures+of+the+heart+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207711529987342530" /></a>Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-9563360292797327712008-06-02T23:37:00.001-07:002008-06-02T23:45:30.142-07:00Flower PowerGoodness good grief. I have the whole night to just craft and this is what I come up with?? I don't dare tell you that I stamped several animals and colored them only to not have a real idea of what I wanted to do with them... but they are done and waiting to hop onto a card. I also made a cute little jar full of paper candies that need a card to sit upon. But you don't get to see that either. I just couldn't get my head in the mood. So this little card after trying to make it be something else only has the stamping efforts of "Happy Birthday". Ribbon makes the stem and leaves. The paper is scraps I had left from a long time ago. Paper flowers are Making Memories and CTMH Bigger Brad in black in the center. I do think it's cute but nothing of what I planned. Maybe that is the problem. I didn't plan!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTT070XaMwp4XDOwGTO91Egp2UY0KzmcUaLuZ238IGSmiwRyoljYGNnWmWg2jFekFLBy1aJc3YdMUJabYQ1iwE2Bkhg4gML919zl_3piRPRyqadVHm6qK9mQJgjjBsig3wmkQaK5CKDHP/s1600-h/flower+power.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTT070XaMwp4XDOwGTO91Egp2UY0KzmcUaLuZ238IGSmiwRyoljYGNnWmWg2jFekFLBy1aJc3YdMUJabYQ1iwE2Bkhg4gML919zl_3piRPRyqadVHm6qK9mQJgjjBsig3wmkQaK5CKDHP/s400/flower+power.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207542248146337890" /></a><br /><br />close up of the flower...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsIjVw_PAapABg8S6pSYViZRH5iRVwU2J8ug5pAWdEMN8p2pyHGFHQEYvqBPUdcGPf7e85E7mg4v3VCyFtlm0v5UUXGujUCDF7xzxwenXvGlkwbq-iar1H_GcPCMiNUYlvNlbes9Vmm6BR/s1600-h/flower+power+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsIjVw_PAapABg8S6pSYViZRH5iRVwU2J8ug5pAWdEMN8p2pyHGFHQEYvqBPUdcGPf7e85E7mg4v3VCyFtlm0v5UUXGujUCDF7xzxwenXvGlkwbq-iar1H_GcPCMiNUYlvNlbes9Vmm6BR/s400/flower+power+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207542256736272498" /></a><br /><br />So until tomorrow, here is a little sunny happy flower... now off to get my cushions from the patio.

No stories today. Finally some artwork. I will just get right to it. I made this card front using up some scraps I had on my table from another project that I forgot to take pics of. Hopefully I can get over to my neighbors and take some pictures of the box I made for her. I didn't stamp much on this one... but the flower is from Angel Whispers along with the sentiment "scatter sunshine".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-jpVUDMNMC7bk3jtXc55LUcFLbnhH9SWUiDDpyzVGg57UrtcX4Q3wfffjtMePas_JqRs2CnX23dpANcntn7gDsRdC06uCPf6etOu23hNpUnjQHRGqNTiGZUxIPOvaX6dZ5eJfVesDqan0/s1600-h/card+%231.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-jpVUDMNMC7bk3jtXc55LUcFLbnhH9SWUiDDpyzVGg57UrtcX4Q3wfffjtMePas_JqRs2CnX23dpANcntn7gDsRdC06uCPf6etOu23hNpUnjQHRGqNTiGZUxIPOvaX6dZ5eJfVesDqan0/s400/card+%231.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206234679712808978" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTWazaqH7dkRUC50B7PS3yAmuPzV4SHDMeFzMfN74kwj4Xy3HxigFfdY5if5IqsBq9uunMpChgkAg0by3IHj_C98rd-mmVi2uWOXqQNe72YVUowga1AR1sSVZG5C7F1VbXAlB7q4QWKVO/s1600-h/card+%231+(3).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTWazaqH7dkRUC50B7PS3yAmuPzV4SHDMeFzMfN74kwj4Xy3HxigFfdY5if5IqsBq9uunMpChgkAg0by3IHj_C98rd-mmVi2uWOXqQNe72YVUowga1AR1sSVZG5C7F1VbXAlB7q4QWKVO/s400/card+%231+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206234705482612770" /></a><br /><br />The next ones are using the June SOTM and I challenged myself to not use any dots or ribbon and only one piece of layering. This as you have seen in my past cards is something that I just don't do. But I love the simplicity of them!! I did use a couple of clear stickers for the sentiments. I also used Stickles if you can see them on the ends of the flowers. Colors are Garden Green CS and then White Daisy and Olive inks.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QSqlAJDl7SeLma3Kxbzs9Su9ZNmYV3mxjLJTQVWESQOXbk4WP8qZ-wwciQRF6kMXhrF6OKXX8eqnP7JOY9_Vk1H0hVClHn4xJaimwhm1b0x1T7TG5LTu5ZKntlOKYP0Hw2168yPOvSlE/s1600-h/card++%232.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QSqlAJDl7SeLma3Kxbzs9Su9ZNmYV3mxjLJTQVWESQOXbk4WP8qZ-wwciQRF6kMXhrF6OKXX8eqnP7JOY9_Vk1H0hVClHn4xJaimwhm1b0x1T7TG5LTu5ZKntlOKYP0Hw2168yPOvSlE/s400/card++%232.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206234739842351154" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy_anj4PL3luRNKo0qMyL2PLi0CsR6QEvHWG7S9xuI1IBn2U8ZS-18CXw1Mjc3FL1TgxCSLH7DxSk0nxS-Buu-D5Oo6G6X12ryNHnhySm5fZvr_EXBmiiGLYxu6DluIh64wK_iZkjynky4/s1600-h/card+%233.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy_anj4PL3luRNKo0qMyL2PLi0CsR6QEvHWG7S9xuI1IBn2U8ZS-18CXw1Mjc3FL1TgxCSLH7DxSk0nxS-Buu-D5Oo6G6X12ryNHnhySm5fZvr_EXBmiiGLYxu6DluIh64wK_iZkjynky4/s400/card+%233.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206234765612154946" /></a><br /><br />Then the last one is a complete throw together. I am not sure where it came from other than this is what happens when you are tired and it really is too late to craft!! Stamps used are from Serendipity and Say it with stlye- (CTMH) and colors are baby pink, watermelon, chocolate, and sweat leaf. Paper flowers I picked up at Target on sale!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWsda2xG62smW0PsetFz7ngYTIKPtzIjdNVKZ2ONu7j00QTGP2f8prx7Wy406AaeCR2IPhl___uLKY7t6ubKZZjSoPa6VlhJNUREWp-PwGXy9BRxTLBpgLfWYV0jdeQz2Fl89Ed0BEtLRQ/s1600-h/card+%234.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWsda2xG62smW0PsetFz7ngYTIKPtzIjdNVKZ2ONu7j00QTGP2f8prx7Wy406AaeCR2IPhl___uLKY7t6ubKZZjSoPa6VlhJNUREWp-PwGXy9BRxTLBpgLfWYV0jdeQz2Fl89Ed0BEtLRQ/s400/card+%234.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206234791381958738" /></a>Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701663923291487259.post-29185605735260133192008-05-20T09:48:00.000-07:002008-05-20T10:08:54.046-07:00Where does the time go???I can't believe how last week just flew past us. We have been so busy with baseball and choir concerts. I also had to do a long run that went from hoping to get 18 in to only doing 12. I started on Saturday morning at 5:45( anyone who knows me is laughing at that already- I am not a morning person and that start time is when my feet started running... I was up at 4:40). By mile 9 I realized that I was half way done and I was hot... so my mind said you could finish today but why?? You would be hard pressed to do 26. I realized also at that moment I didn't have enough water to finish and well mentally I was done. So I let Christi pass me up and started to cool down, called D to come and get me at the park a couple miles ahead and finished my run just under 12 miles by a few feet. I decided doing a half marathon was a huge victory for this girl who never has run before!! And no one can steal that for me.<br />Back pedal to Thursday which was my shopping day with my little man Ethan. Not shopping for anything fun just groceries!! Well, walking through Sam's he has this moment of silence and says "Mommy I really want a new brother and sister." I didn't reply just kept shopping because we have sorta walked away from the process for a bit trying to seek what God really has for us. Few seconds later he says "Mom, I really just want a baby sister. Are you listening to me?" "I am Ethan." "When is she coming?" "Well, I don't know buddy. We will have to ask God." We keep going and pay and get to the car where I have a message from the Youth for Christ office wanting to schedule our walk-thru. I had previously called and told them we wanted to step back and didn't want to schedule but there they were calling. On Friday morning, Dalton went to carpool a little earlier than usual for a new guy and heard on the radio a plea for Foster Parents. He called telling me it was like they described our family to the letter. We had to call them back and schedule. Well, I did and they come in 2 days. So I have been rushing around finishing the last little things that needed to be done. Hence the no creations to share right now. I do promise to get to creating as soon as I can. <br />Friday night my brother Aaron also got married. It was a beautiful ceremony. I wish them years of happiness and love. My mother has now officially married off all her children!! :o)<br />Brookelyn also had her "Big" Honor Choir concert in the middle school theater. It was beautiful. She sings so pretty. She gets to go the Seattle Center next week and sing in the main area and then eat and ride rides. She is so excited. Ethan and I are going to go watch and have some fun with her.<br />Kaelyn's ball is coming to an end as May is also coming to an end. He is so excited to have a Real Summer this year. We hope to plan some camping trips and other fun things.<br />Well, off to do the things on my long list. The heat has gone with the sun and we are sitting in cool rainy temps. It is refreshing when you don't have air conditioning but I do miss the sun. Thanks for stopping by and reading all the way tot the end- if you have!!Lori Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231846205919649388noreply@blogger.com2
