love you more, monkey!

Hi!  We have an unexpected free day today.  No kiddie activities or obligations.  But it's quickly filling up with chores and cooking.  Ha, there really is never a day with nothing to do.  At least I can still hang out in my pjs and not have to fix my hair.  I think that is the best way to spend the day.  And cooking waffles for lunch.  My kids always ask me to cook them something yummy for breakfast like waffles or pancakes or French toast but lately I'm just too sleepy in the mornings.  So I've decided breakfast for lunch is much easier for us.  And occasionally breakfast for dinner as well. 

This is a calendar I made for my middle one's birthday recently.  I did a tutorial on it HERE if you're interested.  Usually I make my kids some kind of book mark for their birthdays but he requested a calendar after he saw the first one I made.  So I made him one with this monkey which is an older CC Designs stamp.  They have it in digi format now and is called Flower Power. 

He loves monkeys!  And he always tells me love you more (from Elle's Studio) when I tell him I love you.  That is his special saying to me.  He is a sweet kid.  Hopefully he doesn't out grow that.

Tomorrow is the first day of school and back to early wake ups, wearing presentable clothes and blow drying/straightening my hair.  Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!

P.S.  I am entering this in Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts Challenge #21 -- Anything Goes.  They have new rules!  Any image is allowed.  Now I finally have a chance to win an awesome badge by Renate'!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cuteness! Cooking that morning meal is always difficult for me. I think it tastes better as dinner. Enjoy your "free" days because I'm sure you don't have much of them. Happy b'day to your sweet little one!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

By
Hi!  After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps.  Hehe.  Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well.  I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya!  She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy."  So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well.  I thought I could make an ABC book too.  But I didn't make this into a book.  More like flashcards, I suppose.  My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him.  All stamps are TGF.  I ...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

By
Hello everyone!  I am back with my latest sewing creations.  I have been playing around with plastic wrappers!  I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards.  My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items.  Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that).  This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back.  It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff.  But it's possible and looks really neat!  I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
