ER Visit









Sorry to have not posted yesterday but I am still not feeling that great. And then ended up taking my hubby to the ER for a hurt foot. He will be fine but we spent most of today waiting there. Sigh...

But I did want to post a few things for anyone out there wanting to see something new on my blog!


I made this banner (my first, so be gentle - ha) for the Sketches4all blog hop (which has ended).


The challenge was to make a banner (obviously ha) and have the main color be pink/red and use lace or lacy ribbon and flowers. Well....I kind of missed reading the second part about the color scheme...ha


I started with the lime green paper and some lime green ribbon and then happened to pick some bright pink paper for my hearts. (luckily)

I had some lace scraps and decided to just cover each of the hearts that I cut out with my Cricut. I added some glittery flowers with bling and some stickles. Then just punched holes and threaded the ribbon and voila....a banner!

I have it hanging by my desk and it is bright and cheery.

My two 5th graders celebrated Valentine's Day at school on Friday. I made them each a card for their teacher. That has a picture of them in the center of a flower and the card says, "Pick me", on the outside and "to be your Valentine", on the inside.


I like how they turned out and their teachers loved them! I also made a couple more of those "sweeties" jars. I might post them tomorrow for you to see.

I hope you are having a great weekend! More later....
