Here is the frame I made for my 91 year old neighbor, these are his great-grandkids and my son, his adopted grandson.....

I'm still alive

I just wanted you to know that I've been studying for my Oncology Certification Test that is coming up very soon and I haven't had time to post, but I promise I will, I have made things I just don't get the picture taken before I give it away....Easton has also started 3 year old basketball practice which takes away one night plus extra shooting and dribbling, and then there will be games....I have also been sleeping a ton, I guess I don't remember being pregnant, I forgot how tired I get and moody I get when I'm pregnangt...I had a miscarriage this year so they are watching my blood levels very frequently (which is very stressful) and my progesterone has dropped so they started me on pills 3 times a day, however my Beta HCG level are going up so that's encouraging (most of my friends that read this are nurses )...I already have a hard time remembering my prenatals let alone 3 more pills...... But if it keeps me from miscarrying, I WILL NOT FORGET!!!! I plan on taking Easton to the park today if he wakes up soon, it's almost 4 and we fell asleep at 1, not that I'm complaining, I got my studying done, some blogging, answered my e-mail and now typing a quick blog....So that 's about it for me, I have Dr. appointment on Mon. 17th hopefully they see the baby and maybe a heartbeat....I 'll keep praying!!!! Thanks for adding me to your prayers and I'll get something cool up there to look at, I ordered 3 new sets 2 from Pink cat studio and one animal alphabet set that is going to be so much fun!!!! I've been working with Easton on spelling his name and I say how do you spell your name and he says " tos-ton" and I ask what does your name start with and he says "an E" and I say so how do you spell your name and he says "tos-ton", He get the cutest grin and I wonder if he is being like his father and just trying to make me upset because this continues for 15 mins and then I give up....the point of this story is that we are studying letters and I tried to do 4 letters at a time and then decided to do one letter a week, so I totally justified the alphabet set....I can make him a card a week using the letter!!!! Thanks for stopping by em

Boys at the Boat club Halloween party

It has been, as expected a long weekend and I must say, I ROCK!!! I got the house cleaned x 3 times plus (it still needs some work), an awesome b-day party for my husband, spent time with my wonderful friends and family, helped cook and feed around 40 people....plus some, came up with the best gifts for my husband, went to the park with Easton and got my sister-in-law's scrapbook done!!! My gifts were a cross necklace that my husband has been saying that he wanted and I totally surprised him with a box and inside the box was a positive pregnancy test that I had tested on Thursday....Yes, it was very hard for me to keep a secret!!!! He was very, very surprised and we are both scared because 5 months ago I had a miscarriage and still have some down moments. I decided to tell the family and close friends b/c regardless of what happens I want them to know and I want to be excited. I am approximately only 4 weeks, or 5 now and very tired ( I got in a 3 1/2 hour nap today...but no stamping :( done.... ) my theory on the pregnancy is hope for the best, prepare for the worst and take what God gives me and this is what I plan to do!!!!! Here are some pictures from Halloween, birthday party, scrapbook and of course Easton. I did make a couple of cards and I'll try to post them, there is also a funny story. On Halloween morning after Kevin had opened up his gifts, Easton got out the scale and told Kevin to weigh himself because he was getting bigger, you got to love them!!!! I had to add a picture of my younger brother's girlfriend and her sisters that all fell asleep in the living room at the end of the party, they were worn out!! Have a wonderful week and please add me to your prayers!!!

Fun and Easy Scrapbook Pages

I have been working on the scrapbooks every year my sister in law comes over and we get our scrap on, we make 8 6x6 albums for aunts, grandma's and other family members....here is a sneak peak, because I have been studying this is about all I can add at the time. Halloween is in 1 day and that means Kev's b-day party is this Saturday!!!!! I still haven't gotten him anything for his birthday and it doesn't look real promising. He says he doesn't want anything but he is like a kid, he expects presents for his birthday....so I must come through...plus I still have to go to the store and get food for the party, o'yea and clean my house....plus squeeze in Easton time, carve pumpkins, bring in the rest of my flowers before the freeze and..........you get the drift. I'm not sure that anybody but Heather really even looks at my blog so I'll just say that if you want to know what I used, just ask, it is usually hobby lobby paper and stamps or stampin up paper and stamps....

Pumpkin patch and skull cards....

Lauren's Saturday Sketch

Well we had a really fun weekend my friend Julie and I went to an Oncology review course and had tons of fun. We went out after working 10hours, and driving for 4 to 5 hours, we had a couple of drinks and boy do they fix them strong in Neb.!!!! Just when the night was about over, I saw some people setting in the hot tub that closed @ 10, seeing that it was after 1am, we decided to get our swimsuits and go for a little while, at 2am we went to bed and woke up @ 7am to get the meeting. The speaker was so AWESOME, I didn't even come close to going to sleep!!! After the 9 hour meeting we went shopping, at you guessed it, a scrapbook store and found some sweet stamps that I just used today. We shopped and ate a restaurant and left around 8pm, we should have arrived @ 1 am, but we got a little lost, because I was talking and Julie was listening, so we got home at 3 am....fun, then to the pumpkin patch at 9am the next day and that is always a blast. The rest of the weekend was a blur, eating, going to the store, and going to church, plus picking up and doing laundry. I woke up this am at 5 to do some "projects" however Easton woke up too...so I had to finish them this evening while we caught up on some shows that have been taped....here they are the first was for 2 of my bosses, and the second will become some thank yous and birthday cards using Lauren's Saturday sketch....I used some patterned paper from hobby lobby, I used stamps from stampin up besides the Saturday sketch and that was a set from the store in Neb., I usually use basic colors, pink,brown, silver, white, and pink again

Just a few words and some cards

Thank you b-day card for Heather

Here are some pictures of us making cupcakes for Aunt Soni's 50th Birthday!!!! I also made a thank you to Heather Schlattler for the B-Day gift she gave me and a sympathy card for a patient who's husband past away. All of the paper is stamping up, except the patterned paper on the bear card, it was clearance at Hobby Lobby and both stamp sets are from stamp in up, the bear card is Under the Stars a new set in the current catalog and the other is a set I have never used that is a retired stampin up hostess set from last year....thanks for looking

We also have to go the store tonight and I leave tomorrow for a nursing class in Nebraska....fun,fun, those pics to follow

Here is my husband's birthday card...it needs something else...any ideas?

OOPS...I messed up

Last night I decided to change my blog to make it more colorful...and change the layout, my eyes were tired and I didn't read the fine print that if I changed the layout, I would deleate my previous saved items...so my pictures went, bye bye!!! I only have a few that I saved so I'll try to down load them again, any tips on picture taking is helpful :) em

I need a break!!!

It's been a very long week!!! Where do I begin, It's been a the week of goodbyes, My dad's sister died and so I made some sympathy cards for his other sisters, then 2 of my co-workers are leaving us so I made some earrings and cards for them the pictures are below. I have some pics of my family at the boat club and of my brother giving driving lessons in to Easton in the driveway...good times. I took some 3 year olds to the zoo and story hour on my day off. We had 2 going away parties..Thurday and on Friday, plus I went to Hobby Lobby 3 times this week and got some AWESOME deals!!! On Sat., after CPR class, I went to the K-State game and that was a blow out, after planning weekend to myself to scrap..why is it that when we have plans to scrapbook it never happens? I had to clean on Sunday and then I went to the park and zoo with my family. I also went to my friend Heather's to her stamp club and made some sweet projects...now, I need to get to bed because work is just a few hours away!!!em

PS. does anyone have some clues on how to take better card pics? I tried them on my stove under a bright light...I guess I need to call Heather...
