Here's a slide show of Ethan and some pics from his bday party. We had it at McDonald's because it was free and we could use the play area. I made a cookie cake and decorated it myself...a first for me since I don't bake. I think it ended up pretty good considering the hell I went through to get it done in the first place.
The Prompt:
Still Hurting
The Song:
Not Ready to Make Nice by the Dixie Chicks
The Product/Technique:

Here's my take on it. I'm so glad for this prompt. It helped me work outside my comfort zone and made me scrap a subject that I haven't wanted to do before.
Not me...but my daughter!!!!
There was a contest for all the 4th graders in the school district. The Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Center picked 12 students to have their drawing on the Mary C. Christmas cards and Lauren won first place!!! The cards were also available for sale. We are sooooooooooooooooo PROUD of her. She's got an amazing talent that will only get better.
The card...signed by the artist:
Proud mama and the artist with the framed original:
...to ME!!!!
This is what my wonderful hubby got me for my birthday!!!!! And he totally surprised me with it too! This is the man who goes to Walmart the day (or night) before, and manages to pick up something. I am so happy!! I can't wait to play with it!
Here's the mini album I made for my next door neighbor. They went on a cruise to Cozumel and Progresso. She's giving it to her room mate for Christmas. I have added binder rings and some ribbon as a final touch.
I spent the better part of 2 days trying to change my blog, but I have no idea how to keep my widgets when I change the layout. So I've been browsing the web and I have found how to change the column size (sorta) and the background and the header (good to know!!). But not how to change the color of the columns (because I hate a white background) or how to use a premade blogger layout (from somewhere like pyzam) without losing all of my links. Grrrrr
Can anyone out there help me?
This past week was the first ever online crop at Noel Mignon. There were daily challenges, games and prizes. I got 3 out of 6 layouts done, and I won a RAK and a prize! I also preordered Noel's latest kit, Winter Weather...which are now sold out! Here are the LO's that I did, and I'll post the kit and prizes once I get them.
