1st place!

These silly photos were taken after Abbey's Solo Choir competition. She won First place out of about 300 of the Advanced Choir kids. She was too excited to stand still right after and all those photos were blurry with kids jumping up and down. As we were leaving I saw this statue and she immediately wanted to sit on it ... of course! Luckily, because I was afraid of being caught! lol, it was not stable enough so she posed with it instead. In the second photo she wanted it to look like she had horns! She is giggling so hard right now as I type (of course we all know she is on my lap ... always!) She said oh and my handbag is on my horn, I'm ready to shop. hahahaha silly thing.

A week in review

I've been neglecting to up load photos for my 365 since I've been having so much fun participating in blog challenges. So, I made another blog just for my paper crafting and will leave this one just for my 365 ... hopefully :-)

#1 The oh so cute photo of Abbey in the rocket was taken Sat at the mall before we headed out to a new Scrapbook store I found. I'm happy they let kids scrap since most of the stores here will only let them in the back if it is a Mommy and Me day. I know a lot of ladies probably like that but I don't.

#2 Easter Sunday at my Elizabeth's house. I took over 200 photos on Easter but I loved this one so much with Elizabeth's neighbors pretty flowers. I don't have a green thumb so everything I try to grow dies a sad death. :-( Although I do have to say my Poinsettia from Christmas loves me bunches and is sticking it out with me. It even still blooms. Yay!

#3 This amazing Noah's Ark mural was hand drawn and painted by one of the lovely ladies at my sister's Church where we have our Mom to Mom Bible study group. I wish I knew her name. The vestibule is round and three stories high. The painting goes around the whole room upstairs and down. It's just amazing and I find something new each week..

#4 Abbey relaxing in her computer room after doing her homework. She was watching Myth Busters and I took a photo of her watching the television but decided I needed to capture her precious smile for the next one so I told her don't move but look at me and smile. LOL She did :-) She looks like such a big girl in this photo ... what you don't see is her baby doll Zack, her build a Bears and her Easter basket on the couch next to her. LOL What a cutie!!

Basic Grey Challenge #30

This week at Basic Grey the challenge is to take inspiration from your favorite chocolate goodies. I used their oh so yummy Bittersweet papers to create this chocolaty card for my sister Anna Marie. The photo didn't come out all that great because it's so overcast here today. Abbey and I had planned to take some Easter photos but the weather is just not cooperating with us ... so we are off to go shopping. :-) Thanks for looking, Have a great Saturday!

The Cuttle Bug Spot challenge #25

This week at The Cuttlebug spot the challenge was to create an Easter treat container. Perfect timing because over at CafeMom Lizzie posted a challenge in PCJ to make this adorable basket. It seemed like an perfectionist's nightmare and I put off making one for days and days and days. Until another cafemom momma (Callie) gave it a go and it was just adorable so ... I tried it and it actually turned out really cute. Yay me! TFL, have a Blessed Good Friday.

High Hopes card challenge #25

Happy Tuesday everyone. My day started off a bit crazy, including a very near miss car accident, missing my Bible study class, and being stuck on the highway for an hour and a half ...with nothing to drink and only half a chapter left in the book I was reading! ugh ... but, after a nice day shopping for spring clothes for Abbey and finding a fabulous new scrapbook store on San Pedro it ended up on a High note. LOL Get it High ... as in High Hopes Stamps ... hahhaa I crack myself up, I tell ya! I just love this sketch over at High Hopes Stamps and was thinking about it all evening. So after dinner I left the dishes to my sweet Daniel and headed to scrap! This is my version of their wonderful sketch. Thanks for looking. :-)
