Whoops-a-Daisy!!!!

I've always found that saying to be so....cute! CTMH came out with this paper packet several Idea Books ago but this is my first time getting to play with it. It doesn't exactly lend itself to three boys....

Happy Valentine's Day!!! The day of LOVE....the day of red silk pajamas and rose petals....the day of eat all the chocolate you want and don't think about it tomorrow. The day that SHOULD happen more than once a year :0)

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

This is a card I made for my little QT (get it...cutie?!?!). Anyways....he's been my faithful Valentine for the past 10 years and it never gets old. He truly makes my heart flutter....

Sarsaparilla Baby Can

This is a baby can and a card to match that I did for my sister as a gift to one of her coworkers. The little boy's room is done in Western stuff and CTMH's Sarsaparilla Paper Packet was the perfect addition.

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

You should be able to click on the picture to enlarge and read the poem attached to the can. In short, it says that life is too busy to immediately sit down and do a scrapbook page or add "firsts" to a baby book....just write the activity and date and baby's age and drop it in the can. When you have more time to scrapbook, you can grab the can, pull out the notes and do your layout or add it to the baby book. It's been a life-saver to me and to everyone who's ever recieved one as a gift from me.

SUPER BUSY....

Can't chat long but I wanted to let you know that this week is pretty much out of the question on posting. I'm SUPER BUSY at work with Quarter Reports and Quarter Reviews that all I do when I get home is cook, homework, baths (no....I don't take more than one bath but getting 3 boys to bathe, it feels like I do), check out my daily blogs I like to visit and wash dishes....plus not feeling really too hot right now...left over sinus from my 3-week long sinus infection, I think. Anyways, I will pick up posting next week!

OH, and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read your financial statements each quarter from your broker/financial institution....some where there is a little somebody preparing those statements who just wants to go home and scrapbook :0)

'Till next week!!!

P.S. Where were you today while HISTORY was made???
