things that start with S

took bryan last friday to the kiddie pool when brandon was in school. love that no one is there except serious swimmers (swimming laps in the big pool). it was in the high 80's....perfect way to cool off.tried to replicate an old butterfly print you see in vintage books. would love to find an old book with butterflies and just rip the book up and frame the prints. i made the stick pins myself :) all the card needed was a pop of color and that did the trick.









butterfly print
bryan had his 1st soccer game on saturday. so did brandon. we had 1 game at 8:30am and another at 2:45pm. the weather was definitely cooler....felt some big raindrops here & there. when the game ended and as we were walking to the car, LOUD thunder rumbled! i've never seen bryan run so fast to catch up to me! the thunder started to rumble closer in time and we saw lightning. then, all the sudden, it started to pour. i mean, it came down!!! and can you believe----- we got hail!! jaw-breaker sized hail! just the day before, it was in the high 80's. such unusual weather!









here is a picture of bryan and his team mates before the game. so cute!
after the game and shaking the other team's hands. learning sportsmanship.









the parents making a 'tunnel' for the boys to run under after the game. always fun!










brandon's game pics another day. it's on the other camera. posting a few cards. this one is heat embossed. i scorched it a little....can you tell? both colored with distress inks. fast & fun.

another heat embossed card (not scorched).

this card & little gift below is for a friend. she has received it so i can post my pic now. she LOVES to sew and will change the thread color to match the card she's making! i can't even thread my own sewing machine! it's been out of commission for over a year now! anyways, the jello mold is vintage and so are the spools of thread. some are even on wooden spools marked 19¢! knowing amy, she will use the thread!
sew...happy birthday
TFL! been nursing migraines this past week....think they're heat related. it's been very hot and humid. makes it hard to want to do anything.

happy new year!

is she not the cutest? she's such a doll!! we finally got to meet baby jadeyn for christmas! what a great present! she's 2 monhs old now. so adorable! i will have so much fun spoiling her with girly things! i got to get that out of my system....having 2 boys, their stuff can only be "so" cute!
side note, we gave my sis what she wanted from the boy's clothes when they were babies. this is one of the outfits! so sweet to see it again!
the pretty tree my BIL decorated. he did a super job!

the monkey in the middle, mocha, is flanked by bryan & brandon's brobee (L) and cappuccino (R) in the high chair.the night before we left for SF, i let the boys open their gifts....BEFORE CHRISTMAS !!









at the mall
what is looking up at?this is was what he was looking up at. grand, isn't it?

a new year card. it can be seen here also.
same stamp, different orrientation.another card using the same stamp. working with glitter embossing powder is definitely a hazard! not only is it messy but when you work it with the heat gun, stray ones blow up----sometimes into your eye. that's probably why i don't emboss cards much!TFL! i am under the weather again! i've been sick since end of october. then i was better for less that a week and now i'm sick again now. i had some stomach bug for a few days, body aches, the chills, joint pain, headache and a fever. but my boys took good care of me! i pretty much slept all day thursday.
