A Day in the Life....and Candy!

Such a day I have had! I just have to share. I started the day out pretty normal for a Spring break day. That of course, means sleeping in and only getting up when you hear the trash truck coming and then sprinting out of bed to put the trash out. The way my heart was pounding after that daring dash down the stairs has got to count as some cardio for the day. After the trash, some 'faux yoga' ie. lying on the floor and thinking about my abs. Then, I was a good girl and took my vitamins (hoodia) and drank a very healthy fiber filled smoothie (sweetened with strawberry jam) and then cleaned my bedroom. Well, I vacuumed til I got to the tv....the kids were watching Super Why and, well, you just don't interrupt something like that! I called my friend Laura to bring her boys over to play because, my boys room was still clean! (have to show off things like that!) She came and we visited and the boys played nice and, well, you know what they say....everything's fun and games til someone freakishly breaks thier leg on my trampoline while doing nothing but barely jumping. Yes, the poor little lamb (4 yr old) broke his leg. I'm feelin like scum, but it doesn't stop there...my own daughter was innocently swinging on the tire swing when the rope decides to break and she goes flying and the tire lands, on her of course. Luckily, she was not hurt other than her pride. Yes, friend was watching. If you are a mother of boys, most likely you can match or even top this story. Life with boys is an adventure every day. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I hope my friend continues to speak to me....
In other news.....I have picked a Blog Candy Winner!! I really enjoyed reading all the great birthday experiences you all had! Some were funny, some were sweet, some were exactly what I would like to have on my birthday (apr 24 if you are wondering...) . I picked the winner by a highly technical process which entailed closing my eyes and spinning the round part of my mouse back and forth while I sang happy birthday. The winner is....AMY!!!

My favorite birthday memory happened only a couple years ago. I had said something in passing about how molten chocolate lava cake would make the most luxurious birthday cake ever and my husband went to all the trouble to make me one from scratch! It was such an amazing surprise!Thanks for sharing the super fun blog candy!

Amy, email me your address and I will send you the goodies!

I have to admit...I would NOT turn away a cake like this! hang the diet! Her hubby sounds like a keeper!!
Thanks everyone for playing! I will have more blog candy next week. ;o) Stay tuned!

I think he's a keeper, too, but I guess I'm a bit biased :-).

I resent my address; please let me know if you do not see it in your email inbox!

Thanks so much!!!

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...

Fridays challenge #63

This week has been crazy. We had a fun Labor day and then actually went to school the rest of the week! The storms decided to stay away for a while. I'm glad. Our challenge this time was a color challenge. The colors are Ridinghood red, Tangerine and Pacific Point. All new In Colors at Stampin' Up! for the new catalog. I love all these colors but, together....they were a challenge! I decided to play up the red and blue and use the tangerine as a highlight. I pulled out my True Friend stamp set and stamped the large medallion style stamp all over the ridinghood red using my basic black stamp pad. It looked okay....but then I remembered the Banadana technique Pat shared in a recent Technique Junkie newsletter . You all know how much I LOVE my white gel pen, so...I went to work. I won't tell you how the bandana technique works, you'll have to visit Pat for that info. She puts out a fabulous newsletter every other month, FULL of great stampin ideas. I hear she has some gre...
