Presidents week

Home with 2 kids and the older had homework project for the 100th day of school. "Be Creative" says the teacher. So figuring that Easter was just around the corner, what would be better than 100 little chickies. Problem is, how can I cut them that small without tearing the cardstock. Change my blade. D-u-h.....

Anyhoo, cut out over 100 chickies and had ds glue all of them in a certain pattern. Took hours to do but it came out great. Fast forward to Monday morning, kids are getting ready for school and I decide to look at the little ones paperwork. He too has a 100th day of school project. What do I do? Good thing I saved the cardstock witht the 100+ chickies cut out and just hand that in to school. Teacher must think that I am so lame. Oh well, I tried........ Best thing I could think of in such short notice.

And here is the cutout for 100 chickies. Felt so bad giving that to him for school.

Snowed In, but still have to work

Yeah..... Lots of snow here. I still need to work until 1 pm then I am free to help shovel snow and afterwards, craft. Feel like making some cards.

Target Mailbox

Home today

I'm working from home today with a sick kiddo. Might as well take advantage of the time and re-seal all the sour cream containers. Ughh...... what a PITA.....

Almost V-Day

I've been a busy bee this weekend. Made 2 cards for mb friends who needed a little sunshine. Finished up on all my Target Mailboxes. This week will be re-sealing all the sour cream containers that I made last week that fell apart. Adhesive is just not sticking too well with thick cardstock. I "may" make all new ones tonight with thinner cardstock. I feel like I wasted so much time and adhesive on this. Wanted to get rid of all my "pink" paper and it backfired. Grrr......

MLK Weekend

Had a very busy weekend.

Sat - Tooks boys to the Y for their classes
Sun - Chinese school
Mon - Did some shopping and went to friends house for some scrapping.

Showed her my milk carton and sour cream containers. Loved both of them. It's great that we can get crafty together. Just a crazy thought, this could be a glimpse into our future when we are all empty nesters. lol....

Home all day yesterday and ................

cleaned up/out my scrapbook room and supplies. Threw a lot of junk out that I no longer need. Purchased some Jetmax cubes over the weekend and started to fill them up yesterday. The reason I was home because Ryan has some type of stomach bug. Ate way too much popcorn Monday afternoon and complained of a stomach ache yesterday morning. Drank a little bit of juice and threw up. Later on in the day, had runny poop. So something was running thru his system.

Anywhoo, when everything was finally all cleaned up, I decided to take a crack at the sour cream containers and it came out great. Need to use heavy duty cardstock for it though. I'll post pics soon. Off to buy V day candies to fille them with.
