Happy Monday!

Today I will be at the school most of the day. I help out with math centers, this cracks Dave up, and the walking track. I love volunteering at the school. The kids are great and always have a hug for me. It is very rewarding.

Todays card is another, you guessed it, Halloween card. I just love making Halloween cards. My friend Dianne does too. She makes some of the most beautifully detailed cards I have ever seen.

Have a great day!

Sunday...

Wow another weekend went speeding through my life. I just cherish the weekends now that school started. Today we went to a corn maze. We has so much fun. I really forced us to spend time together. We were in the middle of all this corn and had to work as a family to get out. All of us enjoyed it. I was able to take some great pictures. I'll have to ask the kids if I can post them. Grace and Sam had an Internet safety assembly last year and it really made an impression on them. No way did they want me to post pictures of them on my blog.

We had our last soccer games for the season. CCD has started back up last week. This year Sam and Grace will be experiencing their First Communion. They are really looking forward to it and are a little nervous too. There is a lot to learn, I keep telling them everything will be fine.

Grace went to the Little Girl Cheerleading Clinic on Saturday! The girls were just adorable and did a fantastic job! I am really looking forward to Fridays game. For those of you who will be there, Grace will be on the North end of the field. The girls are cheering first quarter.

Dianne, I just can't believe that they could not sell popcorn until after the first half of the game. What was that about??? Was it to keep everyone from leaving. I have never heard of such a thing. Just think of all the money they lost.

The card above is one of the cards we will be making at the October Card Camp. I hope you can come. Be sure to call are e-mail me to reserve your place.

I hope you got to get outside and enjoy the wonderful weather we had this weekend.

Take care!

FRIDAY

Happy Friday!!! We made to Friday! We have a fun fulled Saturday planned. This is our last weekend of soccer. Grace is doing the cheer leading clinic in the am. The girls will be cheering at next Friday's game. (The last home game) Go BEARS!!!! I love high school football.

Here is the start of my Halloween cards, again, super easy to make. We will be doing some Halloween cards at the next card camp. Halloween and Fall is the theme.

Thanks for looking!

Have a great Friday!!!! Cheryl

Well, where has a month gone???? I can not believe it is the second week in October.

I have a ton of cards and projects to share with you. I also have hopes of getting back to posting on a more regular basis.

The above image is called an explosion box. Super fun to make. Great gift idea. We made it at my neighborhood morning coffee talk. Let me know if you would be interested in learning how to make this box and I will hold a class.

I hope you are all doing well, I sure have missed blogging!!!!

EEEEKKKKK!!!!

Okay, here is my story. Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow. I am a tad short on time and purchased (EEEEEKKKKK!) a card for Dave. Please know I have not purchased a card in years.
I paid 2.99 for this plain card. There is no glitter, no eyelets, not a inch of ribbon on this card. I just can not believe the price of cards. The moral of my story is make your own cards...it is fun, cheaper and they look a whole lot nicer.

That is all I have for today. I hope you all have a great day and are staying dry. (Our neighbor-hood flooded yesterday.

Take care-
Cheryl

Remember Me?????

Hi there! It feels like I have been away forever and a day. I have a ton of things to catch you up on!

First of all we had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. We spent in at home. Some friends took us out on Lake Michigan in their boat. Grace and Sam had a wonderful time and it just makes Dave and I want a boat even more. We spent the remainder of the days at the beach. It was very relaxing. Good thing we did not travel. The glass hatch on my Explorer came off. The whole thing came off, scared me half to death. Luckily I caught it and it did not shatter. What a mess that would of been.

We are officially back in school. Those of you who know me well, know I get a real bad case of the BooooooHoooos on the first day of school. Yes, this happened again this year. Yikes! Will I ever get over this?????? The good news is Grace and Sam LOVE school (yes, I know it is only the first week, but I will take it!) We have had no issues about getting up in the morning. It has been AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They come home from school chatting about how great the day went. I am thrilled! This makes dropping them off at school in the morning so much easier than last year. We had a lot of problems in first grade, it was such a big change for them and there were many struggles through the year. So, it has been such a relief to have them come home happy.

Your turn....post a comment and tell me how you survived the first day of school!

(By the way I forgot to post the winner of the In-color paper contest! The winner was Linda!
Linda please give me a call I have your Kiwi Kiss card stock.)

Take care! Have a great weekend! Go BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
