A First and A Last

Today was a first and a last of sorts. Chisum and I attended the Kindergarten Round-Up at the Elementary school. He had a chance to meet the teachers and he even went into a classroom to make a project. I had to hold the tears back when he walked out of the cafeteria with the teachers and the other children. It was the last Kindergarten Round-Up that I will attend :( and the beginning of his school! I have mixed feelings, but he was excited. It did make me feel a little special when he came back into the cafeteria and as soon as he saw me he motioned for me to come to him. When I did, he grabbed me and hugged me.

I have a couple of things to share today. I have been working with the new lines from My Little Shoebox. They are so adorable. I especially like the Just Add Butter....I am sure that it has nothing to do with the cupcake theme ;) I ended up mixing the collections, and they all went together really well.

Here is a wall hanging that I made. I used a few border punches to make the background. I love how it looks. The flowers are super easy to make....except if you burn your fingers using a hot glue gun. Which I did, multiple times!!!






This is a card using lots of Helmar pop up adhesive and lots of cutting!




I have a couple of layouts that I am going to save. Have to have something to post while I am recovering! I have been trying to get quite a bit made up this week.

I also had some happy mail this week! Cards Magazine picked up two more of my cards for the October issue. Huge Smile!!!

I hope everyone is having a great week. I am looking forward to the weekend, and not doing a whole lot. We have two baseball games tonight, and two tomorrow night. Saturday will be a welcome break.
