Subway Art

The girls at Eighteen25 made this cute Subway Art for Valentine's Day. I have not gotten prints made yet, I just printed a copy here at home. I chose the browns/pinks frame and put it in this frame that I usually use for my fair entries. I paired it with one of the flower boxes the girls made and a graduation gift. I was looking for something to put on this DVD stand in the living room since Reno kept going after the candy that I had up there. I think this looks good.

Thanks, girls, for the cool print!

Project Life 2011 Week 5

Another Tuesday, another Project Life post! Here is a glance at what our week looked like.

January 31, 2011

Tonight we finished up Jazz Up January by baking some cookies. We had some frozen dough left in the freezer so the girls and I popped them on the pan and enjoyed some yummy M&M/chocolate chip cookies tonight.

Ryleigh just had to show me the trick that her doll can do! Quite the talented little doll she has, don't you think?

This is a project that I am hoping to get sent out to some Facebook friends before Valentine's Day. I better hurry up ... V-Day is MONDAY!

Today I had my first substitute job at PAS. I got to sub for Mrs. Baartman ... the elementary PE teacher! After playing dodge ball with 10 elementary classes (2nd - 4th grades), I have decided that I am not a PE teacher! My head was killing me at the end of the day.

Bonus Picture

As if a day spent playing dodge ball with a bunch of kids wasn't enough ... tonight the girls danced at the basketball game. Here are the two girls posed inside Tricia's Barbie box before the performance. They both did an awesome job. I am most excited that neither of the girls has even a spot of PINK on their costumes.

The girls have begun taking over Dave's bathroom. This is the shower curtain that they picked out to go with a bunch of other girly pink stuff. Dave is just THRILLED!

It came, it came, it came! Finally, after a delay because of the Chicago blizzard, my new Project Life kit was delivered today. I was so excited I had to open it up right away and dig in!




February 6, 2011

Super Bowl Sunday. I was less than enthused this year. I just have a hard time cheering for the Packers. Unfortunately, the cheeseheads won, even though the Steelers tried to make a game of it in the second half.

We brought the girls to mom's for a couple hours and sat at Woebee's watching the first half of the game. We headed home after that because the roads were pretty icy. So icy, in fact, that some yahoo came up behind me too fast, spun out, nearly rear-ended me, and ended up in the ditch. I am a very cautious driver on winter roads and I hate that people over-drive the conditions and put my family in danger. Thankfully we made it home okay.



So there you go, another week in our lives. Tricia is busy learning lines for her play. I am wrapping up my job at the Colony and getting ready to start my long-term sub job at RTR. Dave is working hard to support us until my job kicks in (and I love him so much for all his hard work). Ryleigh, well she is busy just being an almost-five-year-old.

January Create With Me

I wanted to give this idea a try ... Ucreate does a Create with me each month. This month we were to do a rosette frame. I decided to make rosette frames as my Pay It Forward project on Facebook. Here is what I came up with ...






I used one of Becky Higgins' printables to put in my frames.

Unfortunately, I forgot to email my pictures in so I was not included in the rosette frame gallery or in the drawing for a cool prize. Learned my lesson. I will make sure I email the pictures the next time I create! Here is a link to the gallery; go check out all the lovely creations.



I can't wait to see what our next project is!
