Hayden's Birthday Pics

Hello!! I know, it's been a few days! Just so busy and I also have to get my layout done for my upcoming Lasting Memories challenge to! They're calling for rain tonight, so I'll see what I can do! I wanted to share some pics from my nephew's birthday party last Sunday. Poor kid! He was afraid of falling, so he didn't want to come out and play. We all ended up inside hanging out with him which was just as nice and brought a smile to his face. I had some fun with the editing of these pics using Picnik...hope you like them!

Project Tuesday - Easel Card

Good morning!! Guess what today is!! It's time for another Project Tuesday! This week Jennifer has challenged us to make an easel card. I had planned on making a new one, but what a day I had yesterday. Our neighbor found 4-6 baby skunks around her place and this morning, about 11am, our pup got sprayed..right in the face. I was concerned about his eyes, but he seems ok. So, needless to say, this is a previous card, but I have to say, one of my fav's!! Be sure to hop on over to Project Tuesday to be inspired by what the rest of the DT created! Have fun!

OUCH!

A little story behind this cute layout. My nephew's 7th birthday is on the 18th, but because they'll be away on holidays, they had his b-day party with his friends yesterday and then family today. Well, my sister called last night and told me Hayden had broke his arm during his party. Apparently he was quite upset about messing up his birthday party and didn't even get to open presents. My brother in law took him to the hospital where they had to put him under just a little to reset the arm and put a temp cast on there. He goes tmw for a proper cast. They left the house about 3:30 and didn't get back till about 9:30. Poor little guy! He fell off the slide and landed on his arm. So, I got to work on a little something for him and came up with this layout. My sister can add the pic and the journalling. I'll give it to him today when we see him.

I used Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up and Plantin Schoolbook

I'm entering this in Glitterbabe's Challenge #2 - Orange, Pink and Tourquiose

Friday Funny - UNIVERSAL LAWS

A friend emailed this to me, so thought I would share!

2. Law of Gravity - Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

3. Law of Probability -The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

4. Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.

6. Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

Some Grad Pics

Hello! Well what a day yesterday! We got everything all set up at the park and it was just gorgeous. Grad was set for 5pm. 3pm, doesn't a wind storm blow through and took out the arbour and the first row of chairs and all the caterers table clothes, utensils..everything! The wind was just howling off the lake! So, after a much thought out debate, the principle thought it would be best for everyone's safety to take it to the school. I couldn't believe how quickly our parents pulled together and got us moved up to the school. We were reset within half an hour. It was amazing. The principle figured we would need time, so she asked everyone to come back for a 6pm start. Can you believe, they were ready at 5:15???? A HUGE thank you to everyone for all their help! The grad ceremony was still beautiful and went off without a hitch. And yes, you guessed it...by the time we got to the school, the sun was shining down. Go figure!

Here's a few pics for you to enjoy...isn't our boy handsome?? And his date looked stunning!!! My sister took the one with the umbrella and I love it! Thanks, Lee Ann! There is one of all of us together (family) but it's on someone elses camera. Unfortunately, I didn't get any of Andrew and his dad or my brother. He hates getting his pic taken to begin with, so half the time he was trying to run the other way! The one of me with the 2 boys is Andrew's best friend and our "adopted" (hehehehe) son, Thomas.

Congrats guys! And to Andrew...congratulations son, we're so very proud of you and we love you very much. You've excelled this year and really started to come out of your shell. Keep up the good work and remember to always follow your dreams. Always reach high, we know you can do it. Good luck in grade 9!!!
