It's been a busy Summer!!

The summer is flying by! I have been able to steal a few minutes here and there to work on cards and paper crafts. Hoping to someday attend a craft fair. For right now the kids keep me pretty busy! Above are a few cards I have been working on. They include the new "in colors" from Stampin' Up! I got some great ideas from Jackie Bolhuis and her blog - Klompen Stampers - She has some beautiful cards and great ideas!! I have also been working on modifying composition books. I love the Stamin' Up! Designer Series Paper and all the matching colors they have. Enjoy all the pics! Hope you are having a great summer!

Drew playing t-ball

Playing n the dirt - That is what you do when you are 6 and have no attention span :)

It's so fun to watch Drew play t-ball. Getting ready to run for 3rd base. Drew has become a pretty fast runner!

Mom's Tea with Faith

The kids made cute cards with their hand prints on them. They also
answered questions about us - how old is your mom etc. I am 14! :)

First Taxi Ride :)

We took the train into Chicago from Michigan City. The kids had a lot of fun. We took a bus and even got in a taxi - it was funny to see the kids try to buckle themselves in the taxi! We made it to Millenium Park, Water Tower and the American Girl Doll store and to the Lego Store and my favorite The Cheesecake Factory!
