Thank you, thank you

Sunday night while watching Desperate Houswives & Brothers & Sister re-runs. I made my thank you cards for my wonderful co-workers.
My next project is to start a fabric covered baby album for my Syl's co-worker. I also want to try to stiffen the some of the fabric I will be using to make the album to make a layout for the album. I read about this @ Craft Critique I enjoy reading this site daily. Well Happy Monday to all

Quilt Classes

Saturday the 24th I took a quilting class at Michales; we are making the cutest puppy quilt. I am going to give it to Ty. (shh its a surprise) After class I was all geared up to finish the piecing I worked till after 11p. I also decided to finished the quilt from the previous class. We will meet again to do the pining and last but least the quilting portion. This is my 5th class and I still make so many mistakes...quilting is not as easy as it sounds. You need to make sure you sew the right colors together, your cutting needs to be pretty exact plus your seams need to always be 1/4 in.
I am very proud of the puppy quilt most of my squares line up correctly. My wonderful teacher Caryn has the patience of a saint; she uses me as the example of WHAT NOT TO DO. I guess that does not qualify me as teachers pet. ;0

Baby Boy Pages Finally Done

I finished the baby boy pages for DH co-worker. These are 8.5 x 11in pages, I used paper & stamps I purchased at Michaels. All that is left is to deliver the gift..I hope mom keeps up with the scrap booking.

Flowers, Beer Bread & lots of Cake

Today is my birthday and I am blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family. My co-workers P,E & K brought in some goodies to celebrate with, we had chocolate, tres leches & carrot cake plus 1dz Krispy Kreme dounts (I do love the sweets!) I also received wonderful gifts. My dear friend G knows how much I like beer bread she made me her version of beer bread (which I love). My dh & son sent me some beautiful flowers ;my dear sweet hubby baked me a cake & took me to dinner.
I need to get busy making some thank you cards..... ;)

Friends

I found this poem on the Internet http://www.indianchild.com/friendship.htmA , it made me think of my wonderful friends. We call ourselves the "Wenches"; here is a layout I did with my friends. "A friend is like a flower,a rose to be exact,Or maybe like a brand new gate that never comes unlatched.A friend is like an owl,both beautiful and wise.Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,whose spirit never dies.A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end.Where would we be in this world if we didn't have a friend?"
Thank you ladies for being such good friends luv ya!

Old layouts....

I was looking up some old layouts I had done @ Michael's to help Mellisa at Mellisas Musings she had a scrappers block.. I remember how much i liked these layouts and decided to share them. My favorite is the Tear Bears they are soooo cute...Happy Hump day to all.

Last 2 pages for the sweet 15 + 1 thank u card

I finally finished my neighbors dd last 2 scrapbook pages (YIPPEE)! I delivered them to her and she really liked them. I used basic gray papers (basic gray rocks), my ATC wizard die,primas and ribbon from Jody's ribbon share. I also made a thank you card for my dh co-worker she gave Ty a great car set. I used a $1 stamp from Michael's and I had Ty write the sentiment. I still have a few projects to finish up.

Bye, bye Cuttle Bug

I returned my Cuttle Bug as soon as I learned that my Wizard can do the job. The Wizard embosses deeper than the Sizzix not sure how it compares to the Cuttle Bug since I did not use it. It was sad to say goodbye since it was so cute, but it had to be done. I did take a quilting class at Michael's with the store credit; almost done with the quilt...
Today was a wonderfully lazy day... I just love the weekends.

We had Ty's birthday party today @ Peter Piper Pizza. The cake he wanted was a chocolate (yum) Cars cake. Family & friends showed up a good time was had by all. Actually he has had a birthday week, starting on Wed field trip with the school to see A Bridge to Terabithia (a fantastic move bring kleenex), and pizza after the show. Thursday dinner at his favorite eating place Hudson's; Fri Elton John concert (which was great) and today his party. What a lucky boy....
