After dinner, before the homework-teeth brushing-bedtime triple jump :)

yeah, it's that time now. That lull period before I start yelling reminding them to check if their homeworks are done, pack their bags for tomorrow, brush their teeth then bedtime (which is a little adventure in itself). This is when they usually get to watch half an hour of tv while I have my own kinda fun.

First order of business - I would like to thank each and everyone of you who participated in the Hambly Blog Hop for NSD. I was floored with the comments! You guys are the best!

I wanted to ask one of the girls to pick a winner from a bowl/hat/box/tin, you get the idea.. but I only have 1 gift certificate to giveaway and two daughters. So, no go. I don't want to spend the rest of my evening, reasoning whys and buts *grins*

So I used the trusted ol' Random.Org :)



I counted twice and Yay!! Parker and Emma's Mom aka Jennifer Hansen!
!! Congrats! Pls email me (button on left sidebar) for more info on how to claim your gift certificate!! :)

I made a card earlier today. I altered a postcard earlier today. Yup, a normal, generic postcard. Seriously, I can just cut a piece of cardstock to 4 x 6 and start from there, but it feels much more fun starting from a boring piece of postcard. It feels like I'm saving that postcard from sitting inside that basket on my table much longer. It feels like up-cycling.

Dream and Dream

Hambly Mini Bicycles Kraft paper, sprayed with Glimmer mists. This is ridiculously fun!

close up 1

Hambly white Mini Graph overlay, made into a tag. Basic Grey brad. Kaiser pearls, i arranged the swirls myself.

close up 2

Butterfly stamp from Label Tulip. Stickled the outline. *glittery love*

close up 3

Dream and dream stamp from CatsLifePress. Susan of CatsLifePress is a sweetheart, do take a look at their super affordable stamps! My wish list is a mile long! LOL!

This lil baby will be making its way to a dear friend :) Her birthday is tomorrow and the postcard will be late, but she knows I love her!! Happy Birthday D!! *hugs*

(my girls just wasted their half an hour of tv time, arguing which channel is better... too bad so sad - I won't be extending that half an hour just because you can't decide. urmm actually i would if i am not done with this post... LOL)

Love your life,
xoxo
