happy 5th birthday lawn fawn

hello! a few of us got together today to celebrate lawn fawn's 5th birthday with a blog hop. you should have come from the very talented Cheiron's blog. if you want to start from the beginning, start at jenn's blog here. thanks for organizing jenn!

 

 

this is a picture of me & Kelly from this past CHA! thankful that kelly & mike let's me be a part of all things lawn fawn. I get to help "work" at their warehouse. it's not work at all.....to be surrounded by all that stampy goodness? it's heaven! we have a lot of fun. great bosses! kelly, mike & erica has a built up a great company in a short span of 5 years.

here's another card to help celebrate! 

thanks for stopping by! your next stop is the awesome Karin.

hello fall!

 hey there! here I am posting sporadically again! we are at the tail end of soccer season and things should wind down for just a day or two until we gear up for holiday activities! the above picture is from picture day.

 started on a holiday card

 a birthday card for Brandon

 yeti set....will most likely give this away

 made my own snack mix to give away to the teacher and office staff for Halloween. decorated target dollar spot treat cups and made tags

these were for bryan's classmates for Halloween treats to pass out.

 

well, that's it for now. more picture & projects soon! thanks for stopping by!

fall wreath

 I made a new wreath to dress up my front door. I gathered all the supplies ahead of time. then spent a morning making this with a friend while our boys were in school. it was a very good morning having iced tea, chatting away while sitting outdoors in beautiful weather. we even had time for lunch!

so we both have new fall wreaths  for our door! 

 I was asked to make a card for someone who works at our school who was getting married. she needed it the same day so I came up with this very quick card.

my Mondays are often spent hiking on one of the many beautiful trails we have around us. I go with a friend (never go alone!) and we do anywhere from 4-5 miles. definitely a workout and a challenge!

another challenge is figuring out what to pack the boys for lunch. they don't like sandwiches so finger foods seem to be working. i'd love any suggestions!

 

 here is something I can eat often! poke and chowder!

 another fun project to give to friend who is under the weather. I tell you.....if you take Emergen-C at the first sign of thinking you're getting sick, it helps!! trust me! ;)

skittles help too!

thanks for stopping by! 

anniversary

this is a card I made for hubby to celebrate our anniversary.....14 years!! journal card, washi tape and a quick stamping of the S&P (from lawn fawn) for a quick and easy card.

linking this to a challenge here. TFL!

hello yellow

 I was going through my photo files and yellow jumped out at me and thought i'd do another random post. the theme---yellow of course!
 

 farmer's market

a few cards experimenting with water color pencils

 

pictures from the OC Fair this past summer. it's a must for the boys!

Cornelius the corn & yellow bumper car

 hubby won tickets to the fair so we couldn't pass up another chance to go on the last day! and bonus---the free passes included a minion. at first, we thought it was a little plush minion but we were all surprised when they handed us this ginormous minion! the boys were super excited!

 it barely fit in my trunk!!!

 

a touch of yellow on a simple birthday card that required no stamping on my part.

 

 

Brandon in yellow. can't believe he's a 4th grader now!

 

sharpened 60 no.2 Ticonderoga pencils for the boys back-to-school supplies. all I have to say is the electric pencil sharpener rocks! a good investment!

 

bryan at the DDS. I was very proud he didn't need to be strapped down like his previous visit LOL!! both boys-----NO CAVITIES!

 

can you see what these are? lego mini figures!

 

I had an abundant amount of zucchini  flowers this year but only one zucchini. all the other ones turned out to be duds. I heard you can eat the flowers. has anyone ever tried?

 

a card for a friend who had a baby girl

 

sand molds for bryan's end of the year gifts to his classmates

 

did a mud run to kick off summer. the race bib was much more yellow before the run!

[and believe it or not, I salvaged those shoes]

 

what color should I do next? ;)

I V Y

hello! I made this card below for a friend who was visiting California from Canada. some of you know I frequent starbucks often and I always hate to throw the coffee cup sleeve away. so I recycle it. I used my tag die to die cut a tag out of it. I saw the 'panama' card while waiting for my drink one day. it was so pretty and I knew I could incorporate it into a card. (the back of the card has info on the coffee itself) just a little unusual and a different looking card. :)

 

I go running with 2 other moms at 5:30am once in a while and we go on our 'starbucks run'. we park at a starbucks, run and when we're done, we go get a drink. an incentive to run hard! this is what I saw one morning at the starbucks. loving the minion chalk art!

 you won't believe how many times my name gets screwed up! this one was right.

 

wrong

(I used a beautiful mess app to fill it in correctly! LOL)

right

 

yoda chalk art

 

wrong

when I was in Hawaii back in april, I picked this up as my souvenir. I have acquired a couple more since. it's starbucks 'you are here' collection. it's a nice sized mug and everything seems to taste better in it! ;)

what is YOUR favorite drink?

thanks for stopping by. and sorry for the randomness of this post!
