Pirate Party

Mom and Kristin really helped me out tonight. After spending a couple of hours finding an idea I liked, I ran home and picked up the stuff I needed. We whipped these things out pretty quickly considering all the steps. Mom did all the embossing. Kristin and I worked on cutting and coloring. Then Mom got the inside writing done too! I couldn't have done it with out them. I don't know why Ashten's birthday just sneaks up on me every year and I feel so rushed to get it done. Thanks girls for your help:)

Weekly Challenge #3

Last week's challenge was The 4th of July. I like the stars. If I was going to do it over I would A) print the large picture of Ayden in black and white, b)Definitely not put that 4th of July title like that. I think I am fairly happy with everything else. oh and C) I would have finished on time. I am late because I've had an overwhelming week. I started school, started painting Ashten's room, and just the overall daily things like house, laundry, kids, meals, etc. Hopefully everything will begin to balance and I will be able to continue doing all the things I love!
