Dressed Up For School Dance


Here is my oldest son all dressed up for the Valentines Dance at school. It was held during school hours and just one for each grade. He came home and said he danced with a few girls. How I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to watch. ! LOL He said he was nervous at first but that it went away after a few dances. Cant believe hes going to be 13 in less than a month. Where has the time gone.

Happy Birthday to me!








Hi my friends. I just wanted to share some birthday pictures with you all. Today was my birthday and I  had such a nice day. My mom took me to breakfast and then we came back to my house for the day. Hubby made me the best ever chocolate chip cheesecake with the PINK topping from scratch. It was to die for good.!! I love the way it turned out with the pink topping on it.  :) My mom got me this adorable apron that is different on both sides. This side has yummy cupcakes all over it. My stamps that I ordered came today plus I got some birthday money so all in all I  had a GREAT day. Thanks scrubby, my boys and mom for making my day so special. Also thank  you to all those that called or wished me happy birthday on FB. It helped make my day wonderful.!!!!!

Robots and more Robots




Hi my crafting friends. Can you believe I made 52 of these for my 1st and 3rd graders for Valentines day at school. I scraplifted this totally cute idea out of one of my scrapbook magazines. The candy bars were perfect for Valentines day with the colors and hearts on them. No need to cover them with paper. This a big project and I couldnt have done it without  my Gypsy. I would not recommend doing this without a Gypsy or SCAL or some type of program like that. I was able to measure the candy bar and just type the measurements in that I need and I saved them so I could easily cut more when needed. I was also able to have a layer for each cut. You could even involve your kids and have them help you fold the arms and legs and put the base layers together if you wanted. I bet they would have a great time helping out.

Supplies Needed for Robots

Small Candy bars of your choice
Lots of Scrap paper for the various pieces

Glue dots to hold down the candy bars

Scotch tape to tape them closed

(otherwise they will flap around)

Stamps for fine tip markers for the face

White gel pen to do stitching around the hearts


I saved all the files on my Gypsy but the heart. I cut that at 3/4 in. on the George Cart. I used the shift and cut the heart in the upper corner on Shift lock. I would be willing to share the files with someone but I dont  know how to. So if anyone could help me with that  I would be forever thankful.  Happy Scrappin and Happy Saturday. Thanks for stopping by and as always I would love your comments.!!!!

Black and pink card stock from my stash

 The paper with the words on it is from American Crafts paper Teen stack

White gel pen

Cootie Catcher

Remember making these in school with binder paper.? Well I have a much cuter and updated version of this for you today. This would be so cute to make for your kids for Valentines day or any day. Its fairly quick and easy to. I used my Gypsy and Expressions to cut the heart and numbers out. The hearts are on the Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge and I believe the numbers are from the Gypsy font cartridge. You could use punches or any cartridge that you have with hearts or numbers if you wanted to decorate like mine.



Supplies Needed

1 piece of Patterned Paper or Cardstock
Score Pal or other scoring too

A bone folder to use on creases

Supplies to decorate however you would like

I saw this video on youtube. The gals youtbe name is brokenroad2006 and the video is called Fortune Teller.
I did my inside a little different and wrote notes on each section. But you can do yours however you like. Happy Wednesday and Happy Scrappin
