{ Week almost over }

I know. It is only Tuesday. The kids have a short week this week due to Teacher's Convention. Tomorrow is the last day this week and then they are off for 5 days. I still work Friday and Saturday, but no really early mornings, so it kinda feels like a holiday for me too.

So we had the dentist appointments yesterday. Which means I need to vent a little. I really should have been a dentist. The girls appointments went well. The youngest has no cavities...still. The oldest has one tiny one. They will be able to fill it without even freezing it. So they both had checkups and only one had xrays. $420!! Then another $150 to fill the tiny cavity and we have to wait till June for that. Wow! And we learned that our visit to the Orthodontist will start ASAP! I thought we would have another year, but no such luck. Our dentist...who we love, even though I complain...thinks that they will most likely start some small treatments on our oldest one sooner than later. Anyway, both of them will be seeing an Orthodontist. So we have a long road of dental work ahead. So in other words? I am currently looking for a second job. Okay...enough of my whining for one day...

Here is a card I made using up a colored image I had laying around for quite sometime now. It is such a big image, I just never got around to using it. This card is 5 X 7, so much bigger than the norm. Nothing too thrilling, but I still like it.

Thanks for stoppin' by and I will be back again soon as book #14 should be done tomorrow.

{ I am so not finding this funny }

Did you see what our temp is right now? Did ya? It is suppose to dip down to -1 tonight!! This is getting pathetic!

Okay...enough of that...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I did...once I got home from work! ;0) We all went to the Zoo once I got home. We received a notice in the mail that we could renew our passes at half price, so we took them up on it. We let our pass go last year, but at half price we thought...why not! It was actually a fun day...thought it might rain on us, but it held off. We got to see the new Koalas. They are just too cute! And we have some more Rays back. I could just sit and watch the Rays all day. They just look like they are flying. Now we just need some Sea Turtles and I would be very happy!

Speaking of Turtles...check out what I got for Mother's Day. I love Turtles! The only negative...it has no volume like the i-dog. Still cute though. :0)

Okay...onto a creation. Here are my Mother's Day cards I made for my Mom and Mother in-law.

This first one was my Mom's card. I so love this Happy Hopper image. Just too cute!

And here was my Mother In-laws card. I used Julee's MojoMonday #65 from last week. I was actually quite happy with the way this one turned out!

Thanks for stoppin' by...I will be back later on in the week with a new Scrap page! Yup...I actually scrapped again! 3 in 1 year...I'm on a roll!

{ Ahh...Calgon...take me away }

I could really use a nice hot soak tonight. Acky, tired, headache, crampy...don't mind me...just PMSing today!

I just love this Happy Hopper image. Too cute, eh? The inside of this card says..."Life is too short...to stress!" Too bad we all couldn't live by that rule, eh?

I was off volunteering today at the school. Last day of in-line skating for my youngest. Had to check it out. She was stressing all morning...more like crying and whining...that she did not want to go or go to school. We could not figure out what was up. We thought maybe she had been lying this wholetime and had not actually been participating. So I went...and she was fine. Her teacher thinks it was just the in-line teacher that was the trouble. He is a young guy and does not put up with too much from these kids. He would tell them something once and if they did not do it he started yelling at them. She had missed the first few classes due to our holiday, so when she came back, her teacher had told her to get her equiptment and come over beside her and she would help her put it all on. Well at that point all the kids had been doing it themselves and this young guy that is teaching the skating yelled at her to go back and do it herself. She is quite timid and I think he just got to her. After watching him today I was ready to yell at the guy myself. Oh well...she did just fine and I think she was having fun too. I will have a little talk with her tonight and I am sure she will be just fine.

Well the sun is starting slowly to make it back to Calgary! It is a bit breezy today, but at the sun has been out for most of the day. Tomorrow is suppose to get a little nicer...here's hoping!!

{ Special Delivery }

I finally stamped!! Yup!

Just before I went to Disneyland a few friends of mine and myself put in an order of HouseMouse/Happy Hopper/ Gruffies. They finally arrived this past week and I played! Here is my first creation...and I love it!!

Is this not the cutest image?? I added some Iridecent Ice around the balloons and on the string. I am pretty happy with my coloring of the bunny too. I used my pencils and OMS. I think I used about 5 different colors on the bunny...can't remember exactly. But I think it turned out pretty good. I am looking forward to playing with the other ones too.

I will be back tomorrow with the winner of this months Challenge!

Thanks for stoppin' by...

p.s. I am looking forward to getting started on the scrappin'. I was looking at some sketches today and found a few I want to play with...although most of them were for 8 1/2 X 11. I might try out a few first before I start on the Disney ones...or maybe scrap some of our first trip to Disneyland or Disneyworld pre marriage and children. ;0)
