Happy Wednesday

Greetings from Ponca City, Oklahoma!  I am here with the family for several days to visit Ken's parents.  Hope to get caught up on computer work.  Lord knows I need to! 

No worries - my parents will be at my house collecting the Cards for Kate.  They are coming in so fast now - amazing.

Thought I would share a few random things.  You know me - I can be very random. :)

First, I noticed that Stamp Your Art Out in Cincinnati is having the CUTEST kids class.  I thought I would share the info here in case anyone is interested.  It is the Crafty Kids Camp on Saturday, October 3 from 2:30-4:30pm.  Should be fun.  For kids 8 and up and it is only $15 with all supplies provided.  (I am not teaching it.  Call 513-793-4558 if you are interested.)  Check out this cute project they will make... click to see it bigger.

Thought I would share some fun things from 2Peas this mid-month... 

• Love THIS page from Shannon.  Her little guy looks so much like Colin here... and I love the owl she used.
• Look at THESE cute Halloween bags.  Love them!
• I have on word for THIS page by Nichol: Wowsers.
• Oh my word, THIS makes me want a baby girl.  (In 5 years.)
• Another stunning one HERE.  Wow.

I also did a few things for 2Peas this mid-month.  First, here is a warm card I did with alcohol inks.  I first stamped that background with embossing ink and heat embossed white on glossy white paper.  I then applied lots of alcohol ink.  After drying, I lightly sanded to reveal the background even more.  For more info on the project, click HERE.

Next up is a package of candy I made for Colin.  Just something fun to do - I gave this to him on his first day of school.  Click HERE for more information...

Here is a paper pumpkin I did - with Colin's help.  Easy and fun.  Click HERE to learn more.

As for TV... I watch The Good Wife last night.  I liked it.  The cast is great - may want to check it out.

Off to sleep.  I love sleep and miss it dearly.  In fact, I have been talking about taking up a new hobby.  (Since my hobby is my job, really.)  I told Ken I think napping would be a great hobby.  Inexpensive, right?  I started my new hobby today with a 2 hour nap this afternoon. :)

Night!

Ah, thanks for the wonderful links! Sleep is soo important! Tonight my little girl slept all night through for the first time in her life!! That means I had more than 4 hours sleep for the first time in 14 months!!! I feel soo refreshed! It would be a perfect hobby for me, too...

Thanks for sharing your designs. I loved your warm card so much from class, I picked up all the products to make it. Going to get the stamp at some point.

Napping...I could so use a dalily nap. I am really happy you are finding time with family and a few naps. Oldest DD is getting up at 5:30 am to get ready for school. I am trying to adjust to this new wake up time:( She is age 9 and has to catch the jr high bus.

Enjoy your stay.
