TGF Heart Journal--week 8

Hi!  It is week 8 (wow, 2 months now) of TGF's Heart Journaling and we're still keeping up.  The concept is to use one word as the focal point. 


So this is my layout inspired by the significance of today.  I watercolored the background with blues and black.  And painted the word remember.  I added some journaling of what I remember from 10 years ago.  Ten years ago, I was 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby.  It was almost my last day of work before my one year leave of absence.  One of the schools I worked at was on the Marine Corp Base and I was to be there that morning to meet my supervisor.  Of course that meeting didn't happen because the school was closed and security tight.  I didn't even try to get on base that day.  The next day was my baby shower.  A co-worker asked me what kind of world I was bringing my baby into.  I really didn't know what to say. 

Here is my daughter's layout.  She was the one in my belly 10 year ago.  Her layout is so bright as always and optimistic.  She didn't know what word to focus on but finally chose love.  It's so fitting too for this day, isn't it?

Thanks for reading.

Argh - this is like my 5th attempt at commenting. Blogger just won't let me comment on 1/2 of the blogs out there.

These are pretty! Love both color schemes and your daughter's is so cute!

Snowman gift card holder

Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

nuts and bolts

Hello!  Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy.  I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with.  I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles .  You can find the pattern HERE .  Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute.  But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not.  It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use.  Here is a different view of him.  Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom.  I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot.  I tried stitching one h...

Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those.  I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag.  I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...
