Did someone say WIN a Cuttlekids?

Okay so http://regina-bittenbythebug.blogspot.com/ is having a contest and I have wanted to play in the last several contests that they have had, but have not had the time. Well when they announced the new contest, I had to try and do it. I really would love to give that cute little bug to my girls, both there birthdays are in December. Its such a rough time of the year, with Christmas and all. I am sure they will love it. Sooo... I made this card to go with it, LOL. I proboly will order one, even if I don't win.

Here is my first card for the contest, I might try to make another, I had so much fun using my new expressions.

1 down 5 to go!

Its official, Andrew has is Drivers License!!! It took him forever to get his
permit, which you usually have to have for 6months, but since he turned 18 he didn't have to wait. So in August he went for his first driving test, the lady was less than nice ( I would have been shaking in my boots the whole time) He didn't pass, but he took some vaulable information with him, on what he needed to work on.
So fast forward to this week.... Tuesday he went in to have his Wisdom Teeth pulled, they gave him and IV, so he was in lala land. He did great. I told him it wasn't going to be that bad, cause they were all in. So he had a few days of from work and we decided to go to this other place that offers Driving Tests, called Cheroke Riders, there test is more expensive but Andrew didn't care. When we finally found the office, we walked in wanting to schedule an appt. When we asked he said I can do it right now, Andrew was thrilled, even though he was on medication, it didn't seem to inpair him, so I let him go. 15 minutes later they were back and tried to fool me that he didn't pass, but he PASSED!!!!!!! He was thrilled!!!

And she is off, only 12 more first days of school to go....

I did good, I only cried for a second. She is so sweet, she wasn't crying and then when I gave her a quick hug she said "I can't stop crying" I told her it was okay and to go draw a picture for me and off she went. She is such a trooper, she has been wanting to go to school for a longtime. It won't be long before I hear "is school almost done" LOL

Addisyn's first day of Kindergarten

She is so excited! Me, I think I might cry. She is my cuttlebug and so uplifting when I have a hard day. I am sure going to miss her during the day.
Alicia is not going to know what to do, being the only one home. I am sure we will have our trials getting use to it.
Other exciting news....
Abigail got saved last night, she is so thrilled and can't wait to be baptized. Dad talked with her and prayed with her.

We have been having so much fun getting to know the Andersen's. They just moved here from Oklahoma. Andrew and Mr Rowland built there house for them and I took pictures as it was going up. There stuff was delivered last monday and they are all unpacked and ready to live a normail life for awhile, they have been on the move for 2 years now.
We went on a double date with them on Friday, it was so great. Walter and I need to do it more often, its good for the marriage, LOL
After all when the kids are all gone, I have to still have to live with him.

Thats all for know!

Where did summer go?

Here is August 21st and the Abigail and Adam are back in school.
Addisyn starts on Monday, she is so excited. Me, I am a little sad. I
only will have Alicia home with me, I think she is going to drive mommy crazy.
Andrew is fishing in Valdez and loving it. He deserves it, he worked all summer on a house, for the Andersens. I met her on the cricut message board. Its great having new friends.
I have been working on swaps lately, I have an ABC book that I need to finish and swap and 1 other project for the month. I am getting the itch to
do some quilting, we will see after the first of September.

1 of my favorite pass times,,,,,,,,

is Stamping, This card uses a technique called Embossing Resist. It very fun to do.

Well, Its about time....

I have tried to get onto this blog to update it and it was giving me a hard time. So since its not Christmas anymore I guess I better post some new pictures of what I been up too.
