Inspirational Card Sketches 73

Here is a card I made for the ICS #73 sketch at Inspirational Card Sketch this week.

Altered hand sanitizer bottle

I am not sure if it is an oversight but the school supply list for 1st grade did not have hand sanitizer on it.  All the other grades had it on their supply list.  I bought this big bottle for Addie's class.  I plan to give it to the teacher with some other goodies. 

Mojo 150 card sketch

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday Sketch 150 as the basis for this card.  Although as I look at the card and the sketch it varies quite a bit!

Post It Note Holder

This is a super simply project to complete.  (sorry for the upside down picture)
Supplies:
1 4x4 coaster
1 binder clip
4x4 paper square
small scrap paper
sandblock
post it notes

I adhered the 4x4 paper to the coaster.  Then I sanded the edges of the paper.  I adhered a small paper to the binder clip.  Attached the post it notes to the coaster with the binder clip.  Voila!!!

Friday Fill-Ins

  

1. Wouldn't it be easy if Addie didn't have a cast and could buckle herself in the car.
2. Bill's hamburgers are better than ever!
3. I love the taste of chocolate.
4. Addie is watching Transformers for the millionth time in the living room.
5. The first thing we're going to do is stay inside because it is cold and icy outside.
6. Hope the trees and power lines drip, drip, drip; instead of being frozen.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to scrapbooking, tomorrow my plans include cleaning house and Sunday, I want to take a nap!

New Year

Yesterday, Addie was riding her scooter outside.  I snapped this picture not realizing she was in the background.  I am trying to do the 365 project this year.  Hopefully, I will be more successful than I was last year.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all of my friends and family!  I hope 2010 brings you wealth, good health and lots of love.

December 5th

December 5th-  Addie was invited to a birthday party for a little girl in her class.  The invitation came in the mail last Saturday.  The party was a runway extravaganza and luncheon.  I explained to Addie that I thought this would be a girlie party.  She said she wanted to go.  So this morning we went to the party.  It was a dress up party but luckily there were all sorts of costumes.  Addie was a dinosaur, a knight, a ninja and a biker.  She had a ton of fun. 

December 4th

I fell asleep earlier tonight.  I woke up just a bit ago and realized I hadn't taken a picture for the day.  I went back in my room to find Addie and Winston on my bed.  This is a common site around here.  Now I need to go carry Addie to her room.  Good night!

December 3rd

December 3rd.  Addie is reading her book that the teacher sent home from school.  Addie is a very good reader!  I am so proud of her.

December 2nd

  I came home from Bible study this evening to my lil tattoo girl.   Apparently her daddy let her put on as many tattoos she could fit on her arm.  She told me the tats made her tougher.  I wouldn't have let her put that many tattoos on her arm.  Then she did this pose.

December 1st

December 1st --Tonight we went to the Christmas parade. (Here is the rest of the story..I didnt get to finish this last night as Addie was having a melt down.)  Addie and I walked over to watch the parade.  The place we usually watch from is about 4 blocks from the house.  Bill met us there a few minutes later.  It was cold but not as cold as last year.  It turns out where we were standing was a little girl and her family that Addie goes to Addie's school and aftercare program.  She is older than Addie.  She looked at Addie and said, "Addison is that you??"  Addie said, "Hi Lauren."  I was glad Addie had a friend to watch the parade with since her cousin had other plans.  The parade was nice but at times I wish it were during the day so you can see better.  Not all the floats or cars had lights.  But our favorite part is when Santa comes around in the fire truck!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Addie made this turkey in Sunday school last week.  I hope everyone has a great and blessed Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for...

I am thankful for that we had two weeks without any rain.  It gave us a chance to dry out.  Now the rain is back but hopefully won't stay too long this time.
