The blogs gotten away from me again!!!

I can't believe it's been over a month and a half since my last post. My how the time has flown. I've been kept busy knitting baby hats for a community baby shower. Here's a pic of them. I'm now getting more request for hats. But who doesn't need extra money this time of year.

What's my name?

Over at Some Odd Girl They are having a name the monkey contest. I asked Mady what his name should be and she said Dora. Everything should be named Dora according to her. I'm going with the name "Boo Boo" for some reason that one stuck in my head when I seen him!

If you want a chance at winning go on over to Some Odd Girl and enter a name!

2 more challenges!!

I got up before the kids these past 2 days and got to work on some scrappy stuff. I don't know how I ever scrapped for all these years without challenges, or sketches. It's amazing I got anything done! Here's my first Layout, it's for the Dollies color challenge. The colors for this week are, black, white, pink and green. This picture is a couple years old. When Mady still had her long hair. It was taken by my sister out by a bridge.

This next LO is for the Dollies element challenge. The challenge was to do a school themed project with you in it. I've been wanting to get my school pictures for a while and do a LO with them. The challenge for me was finding them all. My daughter just loved seeing me with glasses. And the one with the kinky hair, and perm.



So my personal challenge was to get 7 Dollies challenges for the month.
I got 12 of the 14 challenges done. I got all the color challenges and all the sketch challenges. I missed 2 of the elements challenges.

Kiss Me!

This is a really plain simple LO based on the Sketch at Dollies . I completed this morning, while the kids were all still sleeping.
Everytime you ask Sydney for a kiss, you get adorable fishy lips. I tried and tried to get a picture of them. This is the best one I could get! This makes my Dollies challenges for this month total 10!

First Haircut!

I seen the color challenge this week at Dollies and I thought how am I going to make that work. But then I found these pictures of Syd, with Navy blue on the neck of her shirt, and a Jean Jacket on.
This was her first haircut. We told her we were going to get her haircut and she was all excited, but by the time it was her appointment, she was sleeping. And not too happy about getting woke up in the haircutting chair!

Birthday Card!

Here's a birthday card. I made for this weeks challenge at Project Tuesday. Hope you like it. I might not be able to get to this weeks elements challenge at the Dollies . We are planning on leaving for the weekend. Going to go see the kids Great Grandma! Have a lovely weekend. It's supposed to be nice and sunny here for the next couple days. Then back to more rain.

A new Dollie Recipe!

I seen this weeks sketch at Dollies and thought of the perfect pictures to go with it. I had to do some altering since I scrap mostly in 8 1/2 x 11. I started out scrapping that way over 12 years ago. And have yet to change! After digging out the pictures, I thought they would go great with the Dollies color combo for the week. The colors for this week are Royal Blue, Aqua, and Orange. I ended up having to add a neutral into the mix. But here's my Layout:


This happened at the beginning of the year. My 2 year old, fell on a axle for one of the boys pinewood derby car. She had it as far into her hand as it would go. Ended up going to the E.R. to get it removed. Also I now have beaten my goal of 7 Dollies challenges. I have completed 8 out of the 9. Maybe I'll get to the Elements challenge for this month....
