Great Baby Gift Idea

I got this idea from my sister...I had so much fun with this!

I used a large, wooden letter C, scrapbook paper, mod podge, and creativity. If you want to know more then let me know.











Final Product

I woke up to snow today...SNOW...in AZ!!! Then I looked closer and saw that it wasn't snow but the works of a bored dog. She tore up her king-size pillow...



The evidence: see the white strands on Jaz's nose?




And of course it is tiring to make a mess like this one...

Special Delivery: Smiles

Last Friday I started the awesome job of delivering flowers for Country Blossoms Florist part-time.

Each Friday and Saturday I get to deliver these BEAUTIFUL arrangements to different places like hospitals, funeral homes :(, businesses, and homes. I LOVE the job! I especially enjoy seeing the smiles on people's faces when they open the door to flowers.

The hard part is having a sign at the door with "Do Not Disturb" due to sickness/tradegy or even delivering to a child's funeral. I just want to cry for them and take away the pain they are going thru. Janet made a good point about it...she said that we need to think of it as we are bringing them SOME joy through the flowers...a piece of joy to their day. :)

Did I mention I LOVE my job? Let's just see what I think AFTER Valentines Day. Bring it on!

I found these 3-D puzzles at Michaels in the "under $5" isle...I had so much fun putting it together even though it took all day. I'm not much of a puzzle person, but these 3-D ones were both challenging and enjoyable. I'm so proud of this! :)

This spider I loved and decided to get it for Erin...



And this is my next puzzle project:

Is it REALLY true?

I've put in SIX YEARS of schooling (two at Eastern Arizona College, two at New Mexico State University, and two at Arizona State University(the two years at each was not on purpose)) and I am FINALLY starting my last semester of school EVER! Yep, it's true, I am graduating in May this year.

The problem: I am SO worried that I will get to May and they will inform me that I still have ONE MORE class to do before I'm done. I just feel like I am suppose to be a FOREVER STUDENT since I've had a good start, and each time I thought I was close to my last year, the counselor would inform me that I still need this one more course that doesn't fit into my schedule 'til the next year.

So, when I GRADUATE, what a day that will be...I will not only graduate in CHILD DEVELOPMENTand DESIGN STUDIES but also in COLLEGE STUDENT.
I'm a pro!

This was a design at the Science Museum in El Paso...this is how it looks normally:


Then you were to take a silver tube and place it on the circle. Can you see what it is?
