pics of my kids(1 human, 1 furry) LOL

Its been a while since I have posted pictures of Si & Memphis, so I just wanted you to have prove that they both still do exist;
Memphis will be 1, in exactly one month..She knows a lot of tricks, understands a lot of what we say, loves car rides, walks, and cuddles(She is very affectionate, and loves to be held) she sleeps a lot, and usually only gets hyper when there are people to greet.
The negative.....is getting yappier(ugh) and still often pees when she greets new people, from all the excitement i guess.
All in all, Memphis is a terrific dog & can't imagine not having her.

Si is now 5 and a half years old(please, can't he just stay this age? I hate that he is growing up soooo fast)

He is doing really well in Kindergarten, but still loves his time when he doesnt have to go to school, says he is going to be an art teacher when he grows up(which i believe, because he is incredibly artistic) He spends most of his time drawing pictures, and has been teaching himself to read...He can read some entire books already.

He got a new bike, and we told him that this is going to be the summer where he will master his bike, and get rid of those silly training wheels.

He is still VERY VERY attached to his Nana & Poppa, and would spend all of his time with them, if it were possible.

He has started t ball(and loves it) his highlight is getting his baseball pants dirty(thats his goal)

and next month, I will register him for swimming lessons.

He can be a loud mouth when theres other people around, but when its just us, he is amazing....Very well behaved, independent and low maintenance..still a good sleeper too.

next on his list....learn to tie shoes.

Scrapbook Kit Club (with an RAK)

I first heard of www.scrapbookkitclub.com a few days ago through Scrap Scene. The kit immediately caught my eye, and I can now say I am a huge fan of this new kit company.
This is Amber's first kit and it features Fancy Pants 'on a whimsy' and Pink Paislee "enchanting"
I am definetly ordering this kit sometime this week, because I love every aspect of this kit.
I love that its trendy yet very original, has a lot of great supplies packed in the kit, and seriously..how cool is it that She will be featuring an etsy artist in every kit(This month it is Kimberly DuBois, with her doe doe birds) May kit: 12 sheets of double sided patterned paper, 1 fabric flower, i package cardstock 118 count alpha stickers, 1 yard white ball trim, assorted buttons, assorted chipboard shapes, 1 handmade doe doe bird $25

Extra kit: textured brads, assorted chipboard elements, 1 yard printed ribbon, 1 sheet of rubons, 1 doe doe bird. $10

cardstock kit: 2 sheets of each colour, for a total of 8 sheets $4

Now here is the fun part.....Because the kit club and forum have only been up and running since may 1st, I would like to encourage you to get out there and support this FANTASTIC new kit club(Also, after talking to Amber, the owner, we have discovered that we are like long lost sisters..with so much in common, its a lil eerie..and that in itself makes me want to see her succeed)

This company has a lot of new things in store, and I think this is going to be the NEXT kit club!!!

Here is how you can win an RAK from me(I like to save the RAk as a surprise, but trust me..it will be a good one...think new Prima, etc)

Super talented etsy artist

Through learning about Scrapbook kit club http://www.scrapbookkitclub.com/ I learned of a very!! talented etsy artist out there.
Her name is Kimberly DuBois, and she made this adorable doe doe birds(They are featured in Scrapbook kit club's May kit..the main and the extra)
Kimberly has so many other terrific things in her etsy shop...just to name a few of my fave items in there are her peace signs, and paper flowers.

my Stamp BOX cards

At the MS fundraising crop I went to 2 weeks ago, there was a thank you card contest, and well when theres a contest, I have a pretty tough time not entering it..heheeheh
For the first thank you card, I used the set "oval office" by my Stamp BOX. I stamped it onto a scrap piece of cardstock, and then adhered to the card, using a pop dot.
I didnt add a whole lot to this card because the Basic Grey patterned paper, is quite busy already.

For my second thank you card, I used the alpha set "lots of dots" by my Stamp BOX, and stamped them on the inside of the card(I used a scalloped circle punch to make a window on the front of the card)

This card won 1st place in the contest!!!! and I won a Martha Stewart pack of her Halloween products
