Wordless Wednesday....

Thursday Night Football....

No artwork today....BUT....

I finally got these photos off my camera and decided to share them here....

It was a good game (0-0) 'till the 3rd quarter when we gave up 25 points and ended up losing...blah!

Keek had some good catches and even got to kick some...

-----------------------------

here's a close-up of his scrawny butt...#2...he looks so tiny out there...

--------------------------

and...the CUTEST fan there...(for some reason DD wasn't into getting his picture taken so I don't have one of him)...

Mary Engelbreit Birthday....

Yesterday was my niece's birthday party and, if you recall, it was all Mary Engelbreit....I made the invitations below (and you can see them in my post here)...and a local girl (Ashley Gay) made the cookies...they were to DIE FOR!!!  They taste so much like the ones you get from those other guys and they were  ADORABLE!!!! 

Here are some pictures from the day....

----------------------------------

As my present, I decorated a box for her to hold some of her "dress up" stuff....gave her some bath products, some lip stuff and made her a tutu....

---------------------------------

Her holding up some CUTE jeans she got...she loved the "bling" on the belt....

----------------------------

A picture of me and her....you can see her tutu...she LOVED it...she put it on right after she opened it and kept it on the entire evening...you'll notice sweet little T-cakes head poking from around the side...lol

----------------------

and....these are the CUTE cookies from The Occasional Cookie...if you're local, you have to order some of these....she can do just about any design as you'll see when you click on her link above!!!  I just LOVE when something CUTE is YUMMY too!!!

Wordless Wednesday...

Back 2 School....THANKS!!!

I usually try to bribe THANK my children's teachers each year with a GIFT!  This is this year's back2school bribe gift! 

---------------------------------

4 dozen pencils fit in this glass jar...a perfect gift (if you ask me) for a teacher who I'm sure has to supply half the class with pencils by the 2nd-month....her last name starts with a "B" so I used the Monogram "B" and some "contraband" black ricrac...

-----------------------------------

For the card, I wanted to use Notebook (my favorite and happens to be no longer available - I stashed up while I could...lol)....

--------------------------------

One my NEW (and by that I mean this is the first time I've tried it....hehehehe) favorite things to do is the stamp the sentiment...I used one of my 'go-to' stamp sets....Thank You....and then add my own "doodles" with My Legacy Writers....

-----------------------------

For the bottom of the card, I took 2" squares of various B&T papers from the Notebook pp and crumpled them and then layered on top of each other.  I then died some Twill using Sunflower Ink and stitched (kinda) with Natural Hemp (separated the layers until I only had 2 or 3 and ran through an eye of a needle and sewed...the knots are french knots)
