whip cream, waterballoons and ice cream

went to go get some giftcards for school staff for end of the year gifts one day with bryan and he somehow sweet-talked the coffee bean people to give him a cup of whip cream. ummm, thanks?!pictures from brandon's end of the year party. they had an ice cream/waterballoon fight party. but no icream cream fight....just to clarify!
look at all those yummy waffle cones! i was supervising the toppings bar armed with a can of whipped cream.



brandon and his ice cream



lucky bryan got to go to the party too. you did NOT want to see what toppings bryan put on his!! no mother wants to see it!!



in action during the waterballoon fight.bryan threw some too!






believe me when i tell you i joined in the fight....afterall, i did fill up 143 balloons!! and i did get my son and some of his classmates wet!! what is that saying........ 'payback is a ______'? j/k of course ;)



brandon with his teacher! was worried 2 1/2 months into the school year when his assigned teacher left for another job. truly blessed and worked out that we got mrs. john! brandon adores her!



ok, onto some cards.



i have a crafty friend in MI who lost her mom and then her father within 6 days! can you even imagine what she is going through? made & sent out this card for her. linking this to lisa spangler's 'make-it + mail-it' challenge here. got the color inspo from the madewell top on her inspiration photo. and tried this water color technique. flower cling was inked w/ an AC stamp marker. then dipped a wet paintbrush and colored it in.


this one will be for my next card class in july. some more of my handmade polymer flowers. and a teeny tiny bit of coloring.my favorite owl stamp. and a lot more coloring here.TFL! we are on summer mode. love waking up at 8:30! but, the boys are constantly fighting!!! fun times!

awesome blossom

below are 3 cards i made. all 3 has the same blossom on it. made out of fabric. easy peasy.these last 2 cards were already sent to people.... imagine that! this card though, was a mishap in stamping. i put it aside for a few weeks and i thought the colors in the fabric blossom would work perfectly with this imperfect card and i managed to salvage it.

hope everybody is having a good week!

when i should be sleeping
