Back to school...Yeah

I love my kids but... they where getting bored at home, now they will be busy again with school activities. They are great kids...wishing them the best first day of school.

Doing to much... maybe?

Hanging out at my favorite online scrapbooking website bigpicturescrapbooking.com
Working on my art skills with Claudine!


Waiting to get started with Donna making some fab fabric creations

I love Shimelle her classes are really afordable and she encourages you to use what you have.

until now I always had to buy...But thanks to the economy I will use what I have.

I have already started on my journal your Christmas album with Shimelle/ December daily album with Ali Edwards this holiday season is going to be STRESS FREE. I know its early to start thinking about Christmas but I always want to do to much and than I'm upset I didn't finish everything I started.

Last but not lest I'm starting a craft club with a few of my friends. We all like to make stuff but there is not really a place that offers a variety of crafts at one place... cards, scrapbooking, sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, jewelry making, gardening, home decor, gift giving, party planning ideas and cooking... that's a lot, but every month we will make a couple of things that we see online or in books that look interesting.

I guess being super busy with multiple projects is the gemini in me! I just want to finish what I start. I'll keep you updated on my progress.

Happy Birthday Week!

This week has been filled with birthdays... My best friend in Vegas, Raquel her birthday was Wednesday we had dinner at Red Robin.

All About My Little Girl

She was born a premie, 2lbs 1oz. She made it against all odds. She is very talented... she is a leftie. She's an artist as you can see... She has also started to bake, lucky for me I can't eat sugar or I'd be gaining weight. She is so creative. She can be stubburn. She is a loner. She is a self starter when she wants to. She has a temper. She is a night owl. She is a helper around the house. She is very smart. She is a honer roll student. She loves to read manga on the computer. She is a big sister. She is a beautiful young lady. She is my only daughter... I love her...

I've been SEW-RIGHT this Month!!!

Wow I started Taking sewing classes and it has really inspired me to finish my items not just to start something. Thanks..Donna my instructor. She started us with pot holders then, an apron after that we can sew what ever we want, I'm working on sofa pillows for my new sofa. I also started a baby quilt and matching bibs for a friend and FINISHED IT YEAH!! All in one week.

Happy Friday!

Summer Fun

Summer has such high expectations... kids thinks they are free do whatever..not! Parents think that summer holds great chances to bond with there kids... only if your kids are not teenagers... they may not want to spend time with you. So what's a mom to do? Find something to hold their attention.

So far we have.....
gone to the library every week
played with Lego's
watched Willy Wonka the play
saw the Jabbawockeez @ the MGM

Mountain Ranch State Park its about 10 -15 degrees cooler its in the Red Rock area. The sitting was good not a bad seat. You could see and hear play, it was great!
Me and my daughter Chantel

Jabbaworkeez's- a dance crew from the Randy Jackson's show the best dance crew. They really kept you interested. I thought I'd get bored. Great show, worth every penny.

My KUL son Jarron with his JABBAWOCKEEZ shirt.

I have Pictures of us playing Lego's but if I posted them I may be disowned... sorry!

Hope you are making memories with your family too....
