Hi! :)

How are you all? I can't believe that it has been so long since I have posted! Silly! I think about it all the time and just haven't gotten a chance. How was your Memorial Day Weekend? We were suppose to go to Lake Powell, but my Dad called the day before and told us that my Grandma fell and broke her hip and had to have surgery Thursday morning. So, we all ended up going up to my parents for the weekend to just be together at least. I was able to go and see my Grandma in the hospital and got some really precious photos of her and the kids. So that was wonderful...she is such a fighter. Almost 93 and so strong!

Some of the weekend was a bomb...but oh well. I did, however, get to go to, Yes, one of my favorite places....IKEA!!! Yahoooooo!! I actually went twice - they didn't have the bookshelves I needed the first time but they got a shipment so I went on Monday - which was a bad idea. It was packed. Yuck! It was fun though - love that store! So much fun stuff and I left feeling so inspired. I got a bunch of stuff to do up the kids play room - shelves, rugs, organizational buckets and such - it's going to be soooo cute! I'm gonna try to work on it this week and I'll post a before and after pict. I hope it turns out as I envision it! :)

I wanted to share this little playing card that I did a month or so ago. I wanted to create something but didn't want to do a layout so I pulled out my Heidi Swapp Playing cards and got busy. This took no time at all and was fun to just do something....creative. I need to do this more! Love the playing card idea - small enough that it doesn't feel overwhelming - but big enough to play! LOL!

Classes:

I have been struggling with getting these class kits done. I keep thinking of way cool ideas and what I could do and then I get overwhelmed. So, hopefully I'll be able to do a few through the rest of the year. But.....

I am so excited!!!

I have them about done! I'm going to order the last of the product this week - I have a lot already here. So that is awesome! It's so so cute - I seriously love it! Is that okay for me to say?? I hope that you like them too! I don't know how they will go over, considering that I have never done this before, so I am going to offer a limited amount of kits at first. If I have a good response, I'll then preorder the kits and make more. :) Sound good? I'll start to also put together some sneak peeks of product - I just love it! It's all my favorite things!

Hope you all have a good day! I'll be back more this week - lots to share! ;)

ooh, I'm jealous that you've already been to IKEA....I'm going to give it a few weeks before I go - I'm such a whimp. I hope your grandma is doing well. Cute card too! :o)

can't wait to see what you're putting together ... make sure you put my name down. i don't care what you're putting together ... love your style! i've thought about getting back into teaching. but i do the same thing ... have all sorts of ideas ... and then get totally overwhelmed ... so i forget about everything. it's old age sinking in ... my brain can't handle too much at one time! lol!
my youngest daughter's birthday is coming up ... and we're re-doing her room for her gift. i'm thinking a trip to ikea is involved to get some fun, colorful decor stuff to go with the funky bedding i ordered!

Where do you teach? I'd love to take a class from you some time. And wasn't IKEA AWESOME? Seriously! I went on opening day, and that was the dumbest thing to do EVER. Went back yesterday, and it was much more calm. Sigh! Need a list for the next time, though.
