I have actually worked on a few things this past week. Okay, more like two things. I did make a Thank You card for one of my friends who so generously gave me a duplicate set of stamps.  I am hoping that this too will convince my husband that I need to buy a scanner since the one we have now does not work. You can't even read the part that says thank you in the middle of the flower.  I don't need it just for scanning in projects, but for digital scrapbooking. You never know when you have something that you will need to scan in. Speaking of scrapbooking, I did complete 5 pages of Madison's pre-k album last night. I had insomnia, so I figured might as well do something useful with my time. I will post pages from the dig album as soon as there are pages without other kids on there. I don't know if all the other parents would want their kids on the internet. That's all for now, nap time is over. Time to go back outside and enjoy this 75 degree weather!

Maddie's project

I have been avoiding it all week, but I finally completed Madison's Valentine's Day project. I don't know why I have been avoiding it like the plague when it took me all of 5 minutes to do. It was like a mini scrapbook page. Maybe that's why I was avoiding it! I feel so overwhelmed by the amount of scrapbooking I have to do I didn't even want to try to do any. But it was actually kind of fun. I was able to use some of my disney princess scrapbook supplies. I almost got out the crop-a-dile and attached eyelet hearts. But I thought that may be a little too much for a pre-k project, so I stopped at brads. Here's how it looks now. I'm sure it will look a little different in a bit once Madison puts princess stickers all over it. It will get me all stressed out because it won't look "neat and pretty" anymore. But hey, it's her project not mine and I will just have to try to let go if I can.

First Project, Yay!

So it looks like I completed the first project. Daniel had a project to complete by Monday for Valentines Day, so there went project number one. Good way to get me started. Anyway, he needed to make a shoe box to collect valentines in for Valentine's Day. They were allowed to decorate it any way they wanted to, paper, buttons, stickers...you get the idea. So we thought we would do something a little more creative and make a "lovebot" We took a shoebox and another small cardboard box, chrome duct tape, a slinky, and a few stickers...there you go, we have a love bot. I think it came out pretty darn cute if I do say so myself. Now onto my daughter's project due Monday
