Its been too long!

I can't remember the last time I blogged (I guess I could just read it and find out, lol). To be honest, I let it slide cause I wasn't sure anyone was reading it. BUT I have made a few fun things that I would love to share with you.

I was cruising around on the internet looking for ideas for this CUTE changito image that I received from SammiK as a RAK. I found this super cute hot chocolate pouch. She didn't really give any instructions, so here are mine:

Cut a piece of cardstock to 5 1/2 x 10 (um...now I am not so sure....but I think that's right). Score at 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 inches. I used a plate to mae a curved edge on my flap. I just traced and cut. (ghetto? I think not!) Then I decorated it with some Rak'd cuttled paper and ribbon and such.

I made this card for a challenge over in the Cute Critter's Club the other week and I LOVE this little guy! I got him from Shemaine. It was an ADORABLE set with a hippo, and monkeys and a gater...I LOVE these guys! Its Close To My Heart. The paper is American Craft, which I LOVE because its doublesided and coordinates with itself.

A couple of weeks ago frdtrkgrl from over on Cafe Mom sent me this AWESOME Inkadinkadoo set of cupcakes that I am absolutely IN LOVE with! I have been ITCHING to use it and finally got my chance the other day and made this envelope card. I filled it with cupcake images and sent it to someone. (hope she likes!) I paper pieced the cupcake. I used K and Company paper. I have got to get another one of these stacks. I am in love with the paper and have used almost all of it!

I will leave you on a Fall Note. A couple of Sundays ago we went to the pumpkin patch and Noah had a blast! He asked me last week if we were going when I took him to the store. Poor thing! He wanted to go back! Yesterday, we (I) carved our pumpkin. I went with a non-scary, but kinda spooky theme. Noah would not go anywhere near that pumpkin and its slimy insides, LOL! Poor thing! I have him stickers and let him decorate a little one and he was happy with that. Maybe next year.

Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!

Well, Sunday was not bad at all. It was a pleasant surprise! It was a very nice, low stress day filled with new things!

I got to sleep in a tiny bit. About 30 extra minutes. Darn internal clock, LOL! Lounged around for awhile and then we headed up to go get Noah from my moms and head to my grandparents house where celebrating the 4th. I know, I know. The 4th was Friday. It was easier for us this way. =0)

We went swimming for a little while. I swear. Noah can't figure out whether he likes to swim or not. He giggles, and cries. Giggles, and cries. Its driving me CRAZY! We are taking him to his first swimming lesson on Wed this week so maybe that will make up his mind, lol!

After we went swimming, it was time for lunch. Those of you that know me and Noah a little better know that I have a dickens of a time getting Noah to eat anything other than bread, peanut butter, and crackers...things like that. So yesterday he was going nuts wanting our corn on the cob, so I let him have mine and he ATE it! And LOVED it! I am SO PROUD! He also had some fresh blackberries and blueberries. Today he decided he wanted my bean and cheese quesadilla (sp??) He ate half of it! I am SO EXCITED!

So today I indulged in a new stamp. I got my very first changito monkey stamp. I love it and want ALL OF THEM!!! They only have this one and the thank you stamp at the Hobby Lobby where I live. Oh, well. The only thing I was disappointed with was that I didn't wait and get it on sale. I HATE paying full price for ANYTHING!

I am using the stamp for my son's birthday invites. Be honest. What do you think? I kinda think they are busy....I dunno. Noah's birthday is not until December 21, so I have some time. But I figure, get them out of the way and get started on Christmas cards. I don't want to wait until the last minute this year!
