Stay-Cation, Day2

On this day, the big plan was to take the boat out and stay out most of the day. It started out as planned. Both boys took turns driving the boat!

Fishing was in the plan, too! Both boys bated their lines with live shrimp.

The laceration on Ethan's chin was not planned. He fell off a chair and busted his chin on the side of the boat. That ended the day on the boat. We had to turn around and head to my work, so Ethan could have his chin "glued" together with Dermabond.

The river was REALLY glassy. We saw lots of dolphins on the way home.

Stay-Cation, Day 1

This is Day 1 of our July "Stay-Cation". We pretty much stayed home and did fun things in our area. This day we went to the Beach! One of our favorite places to go. The boys body boarded and had fun.

Ethan "be-friended" a bird who was more interested in a poptart than anything else. We couldn't get rid of him!

For dinner, we had Shrimp on the Barbie and watched the launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor. The boys were more interested in the snake they saw in the yard than the actual launch!

After dinner, we went down to Satellite Beach for shell searching during low tide. Not much luck there, but it was still a beautiful evening for a beach walk!

Tangerine Birthday

Well, I haven't stamped in a while, and I certainly haven't updated my BLOG! My time flies when you're busy with work, kids and family! So, I'm on "Stay-Cation" this week, therefore, I must stamp. This is for today's sketch challenge. I really wanted to do Halloween today. I got a peek at the new holiday mini, (It's awesome) and it has some really great Halloween sets in it! As you can see, I looked over my collection of Halloween sets and went with a birthday theme instead!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Ethan turns 3 !

Happy Birthday My sweet Ethan! 3 Years Old!

This year he wanted a Batman Birthday!

He did cry when we sang 'Happy Birthday' to him, But soon recovered when he was able to stick a finger in the cake!

Here's some science ..... Blue icing makes Blue tongues!

In the end, it was all about the gifts!

Beach Day

Justin on his Boogie Board!! Oh, How he loves it!

My Smilin' Happy Boys!

April Sunset

Aren't these gorgeous pictures of the sunset? We had horrible storms on this day, with tornadoes and micro blasts! But the sunset this day was absolutely breath taking!

A few cards....

Here is this week's sketch challenge in SplitCoastStampers.com As you can see this is the template I (we) are given to come up with a card design. I quite enjoy these challenges, even if I do not get to participate in them as much as I used to these days.

My first card I did on Wednesday, the challenge day. She's my Free Swinging Girl! The second was done for today's challenge: the Limited Supply. Today was to use 1 wheel stamp, 1 stamped image, 1 sentiment, and 1 embellishment. This is the "manly" card I came up with today. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Wedding Invites

These are some of the Wedding Invitations I just did for a friend's daughter! Super simple and really cute.

The 2009 casacastes Fishing Team! Go Boys!

Happy Birthday, Jen

Well, I know her birthday was near the beginning of March, But I have been so busy, I haven't even had time to think about posting!

I read somewhere that Jen said she loved Owls, but doesn't know why she doesn't collect. I knew that my new 'Owl Together Now' set was the perfect choice for her birthday card!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek today!

Mr Ethan Head

Any more openings and he'd have more parts "on"!

Honey Mustard Thanks

Great Title, huh? Get it... Honey pot and the paper color is Mustard... I know corny! I love this cute little set (Just Buzzin' By) even more than I thought I would when I saw it in the preview!

So this is Wednesday's sketch challenge. Thanks for stopping by today and taking a peek!

Always in Black

It's a Limited Supply Challenge. Black BackGround Card. I used 2 of the year's In Colors: Pink Pirouette, and Riding Hood Red. I uploaded to SCS about 1030 this morning, and it still hasn't been approved, so here it is until then! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Winter on the Slope

It's very cold today in Florida today. So maybe that is what inspired me to make a "Winter" card! This paper is called Ski Slope and I just 'had to have it', so now I 'need to use it'. I don't make too many white background cards, but I did today, and am very pleased with the outcome. Thanks for stopping by for a visit today!

Pinks on Inauguration Day!

Fun Colors of Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss and Bravo Burgundy. This is an old sketch, but I really like it.

I've been neglecting my blog lately. It will be even more neglected when I have to go back to work full time next month!

Now I'm off to watch some of the Inauguration. I have never watched one before, but I figure it's such a historic event, I should watch the swearing in. Plus I want to see what Michelle is wearing!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and checking things out!

At the Beach In January??!!

Yes, this is what we do in January in Florida! The water was too cold, but the breeze was cooling. Gorgeous Day!

SC210

Another Wednesday, Another fun sketch! I used bright happy colors today. My background medallions were inspired by some snowflakes I saw on a medical scrub top. I tried to re-create the same effect here by first inking with So Saffron and then rolling the edges of the stamp on the Cameo Coral pad. I really like the outcome. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

SC209 Baby Shower

I have been working so much lately, that I haven't been able to stamp, much less post on my Blog!

This is for Angela's baby shower. She's having a boy! (I'm partial to boys)

I think this sketch is really cute. I willhave to keep it in mind for more cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a safe, prosperious and Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday, Little Fisherman!

Wow! 8 years old already. He is quite the Fisherman. Has been telling me for a year he wanted a Fishing cake. This is the cutest. They did a really good job and it was tasty, too!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
