Thoughts Of U with EAD/Whimsy....Sunday Share

I busted out the sewing machine and proceeded to

make a mess out of several cards including this one...LOL

Anway...

I have been seeing this sketch around everyone's blogs lately...not even sure where it started so sorry... but it got me to thinking about the

really cute Rub On set that Emily has over at

EAD DESIGNS

with Thought bubbles

Called

SAY WHAT

Sooooo

I played with those and the

Whimsy Owl from Whimsy Haven...

Love that little guy!!

The sentiment is from IPPITY

which I purchased..or rather bartered with paper..LOL

with DT Member ASHLEY

The Paper is from the

WITH A CHERRY ON TOP KIT

STILL ON SALE!!

MAKE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN TO THE POST BELOW FOR ALL THE DETAILS!!!

You guys are going to seriously pee your pants when you see the rub on set that Emily put together for the May kit and the Digi Set Lindsay came up with...

seriously

pee

your

pants

Friday night was Fine Arts Night for our Homeschool Organization...

Think of talent show meets art fair

Had to get a picture of Landon and his certificate...those were a source of an afternoon of frustration with a very moody printer...LOL

Britain was the Emcee...and a very good one I must say....No pregnant pauses or uncomfortable silences...and very good name pronounciation!! He kept the crowd really entertained and engaged...and also entered a really amazing photography display (one of the photos is below)

while I ushered kids on and off the stage and searched for about 30 minutes for the pen that was hanging off my shirt.....

We caused a rift in the enviornment I'm sure, with sharks jumping off cupcakes.... they simply did not want to stay put, because they wanted to chew on the life preservers...

those boogers
This was Landon's entry...Culinary Art is always a good idea

As a result there were many shark casualties...only two survived long enough--- only to be eaten a short time later in the great teenage boy attack

Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today!!

EAD Project and Sunday Share...

Good Sunday Morning to you!

I have a project and a bunch of pictures to share with you today...

It seems that when I started this blog, it was really more about my family with some craftiness mixed in, but then the craftiness completely took over and I found I was really only ever posting projects. I've been trying the past few weeks to get back to what matters most to me, (time with my family) and sharing that as well. It's sort of turned out that this usually happens on Sunday morning, when I'm up before everyone with my I-touch plugged into my ears and having my coffee, and I have to say it really is helping me to remember what's important and keeps me more focused. After posting, I usually move over to the other side of the table for some stamping...:-)...

Anyway, first things first...

I have a friend here who recently lost her mother,

I wanted to do something for her, so I made her this little prayer candle.

I simply took a blank one and then I applied some

EAD DESIGNS VINYL From the Just Because Rub On Set

I am really hoping I can find some more of these candles locally (I got this one in Ohio) because I really had no idea it was going to turn out this well.

Then I used one of my WhimsyHaven stamps

to make a very simple little card to match.

Yesterday, it was my birthday...thanks so much to all of you who left me birthday wishes..so so sweet of you...and for those of you who are curious about my age...

I am now the year that comes after 35
enough about that..

I have come to decide that Annapolis is probably one of my all time favorite cities...

I know you heard about it last week, but we went back yesterday because I just had to check out the West Annapolis Shopping District...and check out this store

ART THINGS

What a fun little shop! It's been in business for over 30 years and there are so many fun things to see and play with in there!

Of course, what's a birthday withouth CAKE!!!

We went to this little German Resturaunt called Regina's

which has amazing food and even more amazing BLACK FOREST CAKE!!!

And while I was busy putting my camera away after taking this picture...

THIS HAPPENED...

And I had to order another piece....

My sweet boys who hung out quite patiently

while I had to look around in EVERY STORE...

and I'm trying to learn how to use my camera better...

and wow...isn't this tree just beautiful!!!

And I totally had to share my favorite find of the day from a little consignment shop next to ART THINGS, called Consign and Design

(and yes I know it doesn't go with this outfit)

A PINK LEATHER BLAZER for $15 that still has the tags on it...

NEVER EVER EVER EVER been worn....$15!!!!

HOLY CRAP!!!

How could I say no to pink leather on my birthday...?

I couldn't...I didn't

If you've made it this far...You must really be bored by now!

LOL..

thanks so much for hanging in there

and have a wonderful SUNDAY!!!
