Friday Friday… it should the gateway tot he weekend of relaxation but for the next few for us it will be the gateway to work weekend. We are moving a bunch of office items around and revamping a few spaces one of them is my craft room area. I already have my little CR moved into the living room so I can keep test cutting files while all the work is underway. Wew! But when it is all done it will be super nice. I had to map out a strategy because we also have some office space in town we are moving around and everything has to be done stages. Should be fun!! My hubby and I are always into something new.

Speaking of new… here is a sneak peak of the files the upcoming challenge. I will not be sending out the link ’til my birthday weekend some time. Please read the following before your email finger is ready to click send. I will post when you can email me and request the link. I am showing you a sneak peak early because I am getting emails daily now of folks waiting for the next one. So if you send me an email now requesting the link it may not go through. Just wait til midmonth when I announce I am ready to send them. Right now it will end up in my “file 13” lost to the world. 🙂

This may not be my final set of Challenge files, but it is what I am dabbling with right now. These are pieces that I have found throughout my workings of files that I have abandoned for one reason or another.

Also, if you are a member of the QMC you are hopping with downloads over there. I think I uploaded 6 files in the last two days which puts us at 17 and I have about 5 more I know of and will continue to offer them as I can until the end of the quarter. So we will definitely be over the 20 files limit. Woohoo!! Love that and it is always my goal.

Well, I better get to some cleaning the house and getting things ready to move around. Hope you have a wonderful wonderful weekend!!! Don’t forget to stop by in the next few days. Don’t want you to miss out on Terrific Tuesdays next week. Enjoy!

Then my little one and his catch of the day.

So because of al the fishing happening. I put together this little card front for my Dad. He doesn’t internet or blog so he won’t see it. However, I am not sure which papers to use to create it. I will have to think on it. I uploaded this file to the QMC today and for those not in the QMC it will be in the store in the next week or so. There are two titles included. So you can cut it for more then one occassion.

I also uploaded this file to the QMC today. The leaning tower of cups. A word jumble and a title with a coffee cup. They can all be used together or apart.

And for a little kiddo story.

So my husband tells me they are in the boat and they float along towards the Dam where the fishing is better and my son cries out in joy. “It’s a Waterfall look Dad.” My hubby says. “Yes it looks like a waterfall, but its a dam.” My son ponders this for a moment and not to be corrected says politely “A Dam Waterfall then” Apparently that ended the topic and not much else was said by the big guys. A fishing trip when the little one had the last word.

Well that wasn’t that last of it. I asked my hubby when they got home how it went. He said a few fish each, but that our little one is taking credit for the largest one my hubby caught. (which we don’t have pics of.. this happens on fishing trips I notice.. the big one never gets a pic) He left the room. I asked my strutting fisherman little son ” How was the fishing? What’d ya get?” He looks at me serious as could be. “I caught the fish and Grandpa didn’t catch non and Dad didn’t neither. ” I smiled, stifled a giggle and said “Well good job.” My internal dialogue says to myself… “You are going to be an awesome fisherman. At 4, you’re a bigger windbag then the big guys.” Love my guys. Love my life.

Have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!

Woohoo!! I am home. After a very long travel day yesterday we finally made it home late last night. My kiddo had a fever most of the day yesterday so it was slightly stressful, but also he was very sleepy then for the drive and flight. Here is my new favorite picture of our threesome.

This was in Minnesota. My hubbies Aunt took the picture.

PS and yes I am trying to go to 3 column. However, I seem to be having font issues. After many emails from people asking that I post more of my images on my blog so they can look through I have decided to add a column on the right. However, if anyone has an idea on why my font issues are happening please let me know. I do not like the bigg blocky look. 🙂 I did try to change it in the font and colors editor but it keeps giving me errors. maybe it is blogger. Thanks for the help in advance.

Happiness is a cool ice cream bar on a hot day… especially this hot day at DisneyWorld. Olivia was so hot and begged for something cold. So we bought Mickey ice cream bars for all of us. She was so hot that all she wanted to do was eat it. She wouldn’t even smile at me when I took this picture. I cut the title from the Words of Happiness file. This is another of my favorite files because I love all of the words!

Olivia loves Valentine’s Day. She is in Kindergarten this year and this was her first real Valentine card exchange. She went through all of her Valentine cards for days after. I thought it was so adorable! One of my favorite files of Chris’ is Words of Love. I cut the Sweet 4 U title from that file for this layout.

My little one is such a ham when it comes to the camera. She is a ballerina and loves to dance any chance she gets. I had cut the heart from Chris’ Be My Valentine Doily because it was so beautiful, but I hadn’t figured out what I wanted to do with it. After I printed these photos, I decided to use it for the journaling on this layout. I love how it turned out!

I love all of the titles that Chris has created! It makes it so easy for me to create a great layout without trying to find letter stickers or rub-ons. These are a few pictures I took of my daughter’s Kindergarten trip to a local farm last fall. She made a face at me in every picture so I thought that “Autumn Beauty” was the perfect title! LOL!!!
