Birthday Bandaid Tin

Okay, here is the birthday tin.

I really like how this turned out.

I am so tired so I must go to bed.

Bandaid Tin

I cased this from Beate Johns. I used the same stamp set because I needed a baby gift and thought it was a great idea. I am also going to a retreat in September and I am going to teach the Bandaid Tin. I am making a bandaid tin for keeping track of Birthdays. I thought that would be a good one to show people who don't have babies or need a baby gift. I will post that one when I get finished. Thanks for looking.

Posing Again

Okay, I had to show this picture because little Presley is posing again. She does this all the time.
I think it is so cute. The other picture wasn't very good of her so I had to add this one to even out the bad. Bye for now.

The Hats

I bought these hats a while ago and love them, so I had to take some pictures before they grew out of them. I know, I said I wouldn't dress them alike but sometimes I will if I can't find coordinating outfits and if it is too adorable.Brooke is crawling around everywhere and Presley is well on her way. She crawls a little bit then sits up. Presley will sit and play with something a lot longer than Brooke. I haven't had any stamping time lately. I am hoping maybe tonight or tomorrow for stamping time. I am going to fix some issues from a training I did last week so Grandma will come over to watch the girls because Daddy left for California today. I will have a little "me" time while I drive to the office,can you believe driving is "me" time. I guess I consider it "me" time because it is quiet and no babies crying. That is sad huh! Oh well the pearls of motherhood. Thanks for visiting.

New Technique

Here is the card we made at Stamp Club last night. We did a new technique. We used acetate!You take two pieces of acetate and put two different colors on a piece of acetate and then you take your glossy CS and put it face down on the acetate with the ink and press. Wow! doesn't the background look cool. The little circles in the background were done with Sequin Scrap it is what is left over after they punch the sequins out. It was bought in the floral department at Michaels. Then you take the sequin scrap and sponge it on with ink. Then after your background is finished you can stamp your image with any stamp.

My Little Models

Brooke and Presley did a modeling session the other day for a catalog (http://www.roomservicehome.com/) and Angela was kind enough to send me a picture to post on my blog. (Thanks Angela) They are modeling the little puppy coats. I do have to say "Two Cuuuutteee." She even got Brooke to smile and we know that is hard to do sometimes. Little Presley is always smiling. Oh, those little girls are so precious. I thank God every day he gave me such a treasure.

Crawling

Here is proof, my little Brookie is crawling. She didn't get very far but she did it! She is really saying Dada all the time now. Daddy videoed her saying it while I was at Stamp Club last night. She sounds so cute when she says "Da da."

Swimming Again

We went to a birthday party yesterday and Papaw bought Brooke and Presley their own little pool. They had a blast as you can see. Presley loved kicking her feet in the water. Poor Brooke had horrible allergies, her eyes and nose were running and she kept scratching at her eyes. Bless her little heart. She still had fun in the little pool. It was great to see family we haven't seen in a while.
Brooke has started crawling. It is only a little bit and then she stops and will lay down. Daddy entices her with his shoe because she loves to get his shoe. Yea Brooke! Presley is right behind her. This is a Brooke brag day because she also said DaDa this morning. Enjoy the photos of the girls in the pool.
I am so excited because I am going to Stamp Club tonight. A much needed break for Mama. Gary will be out of town some this week and I will be solo.
We were about to go swimming with the girls until we realized the dark clouds rolling in and heard some thunder. I guess we will wait on the swimming for another day.

Little Miss Presley

Miss Presley is already into things as you can see from the photos. She lifted herself up for the first time on the fireplace. Things are really happening fast these days. Poor Brooke is having a bad allergy day.

Our Helper

I had a little help on Thursday with the girls.
Emily did a great job. The girls really watched and loved her.
She changed a diaper and fed a baby for the first time. I do have to say that she will be a great babysitter when she is old enough to babysit. She was very inquisitive and asked quesions.
She wanted to trade her sister for Brooke and Presley. The cutest thing was she kept saying, "she could just eat them up." Thanks Emily! Hurry and come back over the girls miss you.
