SMT #39

Well here it is Wednesday, and I'm about to miss another Show Me Thursday. It's not because I've been sitting on my duff doing nothing, just the opposite in fact. In case you're new here, Sassy Cheryl hosts a challenge on her Blog each week where the random winner gets a free Sassy Cheryl image. All you have to do is snap a shot of what you've been working on during the week and post it on her blog, you're entered. Over the 39 weeks, I've been participating, it's given me a chance to make new friends and get some great ideas. So being nosey isn't a bad thing. I'm just going to post pictures with captions for a recap of my week.
Sunday morning started off with an early morning kayak trip with my DH if you look just to the right of the tree snag, you'll see the head of a deer that we startled. He's swimming to get away.

Sunday afternoon two of my nieces came down with their babies to work on a birthday party invitation for the Coleman's first birthday.
 
Corbin 8 months old in the chair and Coleman 11 1/2 months old standing. Coleman is just before trying to pull Corbin out of what he considers HIS chair.

Coleman's Birthday Party invitation. I created this from a free coloring page for Clifford and some additions in Photoshop.
This is a pair of Indian pants and a vest(cowboy) I've made for a friend of mine's little boy. I had to make another one for my daughter to take to Scotland for one of MM's cousins. They sent MM a kilt when he was born, so DD is taking a western outfit for this 3 year old cousin.


Finally these are money envelopes that I've made for my BFF for she and her DH to give to their children, son-in-laws and grandchildren to celebrate BFF and her DH's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Talk about doing it backwards, but she said their family is the fruit of their marriage. I love that thought.

So get out your camera sang a shot of what you have going on and post it HERE. You win regardless, if you go check out the other entries spaces.

  6. Shirley...I can't figure out how to email you, so I will post this here and hope you will see it.

    THANK YOU so much for the Copic Marker case! It is gorgeous, and is the PERFECT storage/traveling solution for my Copics. I LOVE IT!

    THANK YOU too for donating to the Lungs 4 Life cause. My next door neighbor had a lung transplant in 2004 so this is near and dear to my heart.
