Graduation Card

This is my most recent creation! This is a graduation card for Lane's 2nd cousin. We had her party this last weekend. I was able to play with my new toy, The Cuttlebug. I used it to emboss the bottom of the card with the d-vine swirl Cuttlebug embossing folder. The top of the card is the CTMH Silhouette paper pack, the flower is CTMH Big Pinks (I used a white one), CTMH desert sand exclusive inks, black cardstock, and a clear button backed with the Silhouette paper to match! Hope you like it, I had a lot of fun designing it!

Anthony's First Haircut

Oh my goodness!!! Last night Lauriel decided that Anthony needed his first haircut. So, since "Grandma" gives all the guys in the family their haircuts, she decided that she would let Grandma do it! Well, I have the peanut buzzer and Anthony is so darn ticklish! He laughed so hard because it was tickling him every time it touched his head. Of course, he is handsome as can be, but he no longer looks so babyish!

The Party Was A GREAT Success!!

Okay, so we had the combined birthday party (see invitations below) for Anthony & LucasJon this past Saturday. It was a huge success! The pictures above are of LucasJon putting on a "show" after he learned how to inhale helium and talk funny, LucasJon after his big sisters "gave" him a piece of cake, Anthony's Backyardigans cake, Anthony and Mommy, LucasJon's WWE cake (will explain more below), LucasJon with his cake, and some of our guests.

We had quite the spread going: Hot ham, turkey in gravy, beef in gravy, and BBQ shredded pork, potato salad, cheesy potatoes, fruit salad, cheese & sausage tray, veggie tray with 3 kinds of dip, relish tray, chips (several kinds).............................oh yeah, NOBODY left hungry, I guarantee that! LOL

We all had such a great time, but honestly, before the party I decided I was not just cleaning, I was going to "declutter" also (thanks FlyLady)! So, after making 50 handmade invites I started cleaning and decluttering. Whew, I had a great time, it was WONDERFUL to see everyone, but I'm glad it's done with!

LucasJon wanted a WWE cake badly. So, I went to three different local stores to try to find it for him. NOTHING, nobody is licensed to do these cakes. Lucky for me I found a wonderful lady at Walmart who is also a WWE fan that offered to design the cake with a ring in the middle. I would just have to buy whatever I wanted on top to decorate it! Whew whoooo, she made me a hero in my 11 year olds eyes!

Now, if I can just keep up with my friendly FlyLady missions that are emailed to me Monday through Friday, I might KEEP my house looking this good! Enjoy the pictures!
