A Surpise Delivery

Today I had a surprise knock ( well they rang the bell but it doesn't have the same ring - ha get it ring!!! yah I am tired!) Any way back to the door.....Our dog was having a play date (not really but it sounded better than dog sitting!) and her and her friend well they went ape on the door and the Purolator guy asked if I would be OK. I said yes as I looked down to see our fury guest sticking his head thru my legs! I am sure I looked like a piece of work! LOL! Anyway! I get this large box not sure what the heck it was didn't recognize the return address or name but it had all my pertinent info on it. WEIRD!

I open the box and much to my surprise it was a prize I won from a fellow local blogger girl! Jackie @ Educating Jackie. Here is the link to the contest post! This came at a perfect time since in 42ish days I have dropped 11 lbs...that is almost 2 pant sizes and one complete shirt size (yah you can tell where I need to lose right?) Oh and I finally took my wedding set in to get re-sized (cause this last bit of weight drop) I am 2 ring sizes smaller!

Anyway I never thought I would get a box let alone more than what the contest said I would get. I got the drinks plus 4 packages of their cookies/cupcakes, a breakfast, a soup, a shake and this bagel snack thing (unfortunately it was open in the box tho!)

I cannot wait to try these out an give a full report on these and more details on the company and the company that Jackie got to offer the contest thru!

Any way thanks to Jackie, Mom's Central and underWAY

Back to school!

I haven't been around on either of my blogs but I am promising I will be back once I get all my kidlets back in classes! I have had my dd's BFF with us every morning and well yesterday it was super insane here! I was in bed by 9:30! Freezing my butt off - weather has not been very favorable here in the Canadian Desert!!!

Snapware + Built

So I have to toot this product up! I am so bummed that I couldn't find it any where with a better picture and if I would have known I would have kept the boxes and such to share! While on our vacation all over BC, Washington, Idaho and Montana we came across this pack at a Costco (where you may ask? Yah not sure but if someone would like to know I will try and find out receipt!) Since both kids needed new lunch kits anyway and the bonus with these the bags are washable and the plastic containers are awesome and easy for the kids to open! Just wish they had some cool juice containers! Oh well! My daughter drinks alot of water so she just uses these bottles by Contigo!  Never mind DD uses them so does the rest of the family!


Contigo BPA-Free Kids Autoseal Mugs, Set of 2, Girls Colors

Contigo 3 Pack of BPA Free Hydration Bottles AutoSeal Technology (Aqua, Raspberry & Lime)
and coffee/tea mugs are AMAZING!  They stay hot for 5+ hours!  CRAZINESS!
Contigo 21234 Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler, Silver
All these we have gotten from our local Costco at different times of the year!  Amazing products! 






See you all later and I am looking for suggestions for word art! Leave them in the comments section!

Birthdays

My godson just celebrated his 2nd birthday and I had such a cute picture from visiting him last weekend that I could not make something with it!!!

After a little photo shop help I think it turned out pretty darn sweet....who doesn't love a red head!!!!
Now if I could remember what actions I used that would probably help you alot more!  LOL!  It may have been Pioneer Woman's Fresh and Colorful or Lovely and Ethereal.  I do know I did a quick edge burn at the end tho!
This is the final picture......pretty darn cute!

Because I have an OCD with Brag book pages and had to make him one....
Then Mom wanted it as a thank you card so here it is....
This page was a freebie from Chelle's Creations Birthday party!  From one of her team named Tanya www.tanyatumbles.com.  Thanks so much ladies for the great week of birthday goodies!

Better late than never

I am in absolute love with Just so Scrappy's work! It is amazing and when she has a deal to buy her whole store earlier this year I couldn't resist!!!

So when it came time to celebrate my DD's 5th birthday I knew exactly what we would do!!! We love anything girlie, bugs, fairies, garden and we had to use this...
So I set out to make her invites....

Not to bad for being pretty sick. Printed at our local Costco as 4x6's.
Our party then contained.....
A ladybug cake....red velvet inside cause I am sick and twisted that way!

Then we made Cake Pops we also made some with Oreo's (those were mt favorite!!!) then I found at the dollar store pencil cups in fuzzy pink....perfect to hold the cake pops!!!!The table had flowers and butterfly's scattered all over.


Then if you look close (cause I wasn't smart enough to take a picture of her goody bags this year) there are little flower pots in mini watering cans for the kids to take home. I made sure the pots were the type that can be planted straight into the ground for the planting illiterate!

Here are her two thank you cards one for her friends and one for her family (again 4x6 prints).....
AND
This is the the art I made for her address labels.....
Here it is and I love the free software from Avery called Design Pro.....once you figure it out its pretty darn easy!!! Actually looking forward to making Christmas labels this year!

So just so you all know I am no way affiliated with Just so Scrappy.....just showing you how a kit can help you with your theme for a party from start to finish!
We finished off the back of the family envelopes with a round Avery sticker...
A beautiful picture from her professional birthday pictures.
Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!
