What a week

Its been a tough week for my extended family. My cousin Keith was in a motorcycle accident that has left him in bad shape. A truck towing a camper cross the line and side swiped him. It injured his leg badly. A piece of bone never made it to the hospital and now they are going to have to graph a piece to fill in. Well that is if the 2nd attempt to graph muscle and skin takes. The first was a no go and tomorrow morning they will know if the second attempt works. If not they will try a third time and if that does not work they will have to amputate his leg. We are hoping it doesn't come to that, but its not looking very good at the moment. This is his second motorcycle accident involving the same leg.

Tonight my SIL 10 month old baby MyKyla, stopped breathing out of nowhere. She is currently at the ER and they trying to figure it out. Seems so strange as I was holding the little ones around 3:00 today and by 7 she is not breathing. Oh my gosh! This is the very reason I am so timid around babies and will not keep anyones infant until the are at least 2 years old, nor does anyone keep mine. I am the epiphany of over protective when it comes to my boys.

Wishing everyone in blog land a very happy and safe Friday.

Next Sketch

It's Friday! But no yay for me. I have to work tomorrow. I went back to work 3 days a week M-W-F but I have to work every 3rd Saturday now. After all I was the only person left that did not work Saturdays. Not sure how I manged see long.

First let me tell you what Blake said tonight.

I was sitting at the computer looking into beading. (I'm thinking about giving it at try)
Blake climbs into my lap

Blake "Mommy lets have fun"
Me "okay what do you want to do"
Blake stands up on my laps and starts dancing and laughing
Next I hear the Thomas theme song start playing

Blake "Thomas coming on Thomas coming on and jumps down"
Me "Where you going I thought we were coming to have fun"
Blake no response, just dirty look



So here is the next sketch I want to share with you. I made this for my pregnancy photo with Blake. I intended to use a full body shot in the larger spot and 2 belly only shots below. As always that never happened. Maybe I will do so now. Feel free to use it if you like, and share with me if you want too.

Happy Friday gals.
Be safe and creative!

shiny new sketches

Today, I'm posting two of those

sketches, I mention a few days ago.

I can't recall what photos
I planned to use with this one.
I never used the sketch myself,
but I still like it. I love the line of ribbons
on here and the lolly flowers.

This sketch started out as
Blakes first time in Time Out LO.
The LO slipped a little off course,
and I love them both.

Here is what I did with the sketch.
I love the pointy frame on here.
I think I need to revisit that
shaped in an upcoming LO.

Hope I was able to inspire you today.
Stay tuned later in the week for the next one.

everything old is new again

To date this is my favorite photo
of the boys. Paired with a
Jennifer Fox digital kit, and the

results a totally awesome new Desktop.Digital
designs is perfect for this. If you don't already do
this, so give it a try. You will love it.

So while blog hopping the other day, I found this really cute cute idea for all those kids tee that you just love, but they grow out of so quickly. All you crafty mommas Go here. Everyone else go too, they are tons of re-purposing idea, sewing tips, and decor.

I'm thinking about posting a few of my sketches on here next week. I like to sketch when I have the perfect photo, but the not so perfect paper to work with. I then work on a sketch and store it away in my PC's brain with a specific paper line in mind, only to never look at again.

Woodgrain is still fab

I think I have developed an obsession for Kraft paper. It's my go to starting point now. Do you use it? Do you like it? Today, I am sharing a LO that features Blake and his cousin Landon. I loved this Sass line. I used 90% of these papers. Love love love this melody paper PP especially.





This is the first photo Blake took holding baby Landon. After I snapped these two, but was calling for someone to get him because he was too heavy. LOL It's not the perfect photo, but I love it just the same.



I must share these fabulous Woodgrain buttons I found on Etsy. You get 16 for only $2.50 and they come in 3 sizes. Here
