Happy First Birthday Charlie!!

Last week was Charlie's first birthday!! I can't believe how fast his first year has gone, and how many changes take place in that first year. He was off last week due to wedding preparations so yesterday was his first day back. During that week he got his first haircut! So here are the before and after pictures...

Before
After

On his last day with me before this past week off he came sporting his first black eye. Thanks to his golden lab, Rex!

not terribly bad and it was hard to get a good picture of this "boy on the go."

Lifting you up in prayer

My dear friend, and down line demonstrator, Marla, had surgery on her ankle last week Friday so she will be immobile for several weeks. This is the get well card that I sent to her… I just love our new Two Step Owl Punch and I am having a lot of fun making things with it. This card design came from DarleneDesign.com

What to do on a rainy day

Yesterday was a bit on the not-so-nice weather day.   Thankfully I was down in numbers for kids so activities stayed a bit more quiet.  So what do you do with a 6 year old girl who LOVES to do crafts but does everything so FAST that you can’t keep up with her?  I pulled out a retired Card Elements Kit and let her go at it.   

                                                                                



I “walked her through” the first three cards and then let her create to her hearts content.  Little sister helped and even did some stamping too.  Then I let them use my punches.  You know how much I love to create things with the punches!!  Well, I didn’t even have to give her any tips she came up with this little person all on her own.  I think I see a future Red Hot Stamper in the making!!


  
Charlie was his normal happy self and loved all the attention the big girls gave him.  How can you not LOVE this happy smile!!                                                          

And, of course, EVERYTHING goes in the mouth!!

I still haven’t posted the cards we made in our June STAMP 10 Class, so for all you who missed class this month – this is what we made…  

                                                    

 

 

So For Now…
Happy Stamping!!
