Happy Valentine's Day

I will have no recollection of my day tomorrow...I hope!!!  I left the van running in the school parking lot from 7:40am until 12:30 when Brad asked my why the van was running; my Valentine went out to lunch without me and forgot my KFC Bowl that is my favorite, and a lady was rude on the phone to me, but when Brad talked to her she was nice as pie and listened to him instead of interrupting every 2 words.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES!!!!  I did get flowies this morning from said Valentine....and a new giant shower head!!:) And Caden was singing a special Valentine's song first thing this morning.  He just likes to make up songs and it was sooo cute!!! I love my boy...okay so maybe I don't need sympathy.....

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!XOXOXOXO

Supper last evening was quite interesting...

"Do I have to have fruit? I don't like the peanut." That's Stille kid for the peeling. And yes, you do at least 3 slices.

Brynnie loves cookies!!!

These cards were the true "professional" cards...

 

This was stamped on balsa wood.  Such a neat and easy way.  It weighs less than paper!!

These were made with stamps and papers from "Close to my Heart" stamps.

The long awaited card party run down!!

These are my original creations for our Ladies Night Out.  We haven't done a craft night in a very long time.  We were blessed with 16 ladies that showed up to be silly and creative.  Lots of chocolate, Pepsi and good coffee and food!
