Some cool things...

I just wanted to share with you some things that I find cool. They are not necessarily scrapbooking related, but are crafty in some way. Even if you are not crafty, (what? there are people in the world who don't enjoy making things? *gasp*) I hope you enjoy anyway. :-)

-----------------------------------------------------

Sugar cookies found via the Blah Blah Blahg. {Recipe here.}
I want to make (and eat) them so badly! Aren't they amazing looking????


Unplug for a day.
I am going to do this. Hopefully this weekend. One day with no internet, computer, cell phone, connection at all. I will be posting my experience on June 1st. :-) {Found on Stacey's Blog}It's Cupcake Week at LollyChops and La Fugi Mama's Blogs! It's like they read my mind. HOW did they know I would absolutely LOVE a week of cupcake crafts + baking? Check out a recipe (and free recipe card download!) for Black Bottom Cupcakes here as well as many CUTE embroidery patterns here. (Note to self: learn how to embroider... and then learn how to bake.) ;-)


I have been collecting P's lately in order to mimic this awesome decor found on Liz's Blog. I love it. I wish I had a cooler last initial but alas, I am stuck with P. I will embrace it. :-) So far I have 5 P's. I will be covering them with patterned paper and hanging them amongst some black and white photos. (I just love new projects just sitting there waiting for me to start playing with!)


Thanks to (the awesomely inspiring) Jennifer McGuire for tweeting this project. I need (not want... NEED) to get some canvas and make something like Nichol's awesome project. Need. I absolutely love it.

I think mine will say "Happiness is in the little things," or something like that.


Ok, so I'm sorry for the complete LACK of original content lately. I have one more deadline this week and then my life should be slowing down a bit after that (the key word there is SHOULD!) I have lots of photos to post as well as some cards I have made. (3 of them are for an upcoming class at The Front Desk and two are Mother's Day cards. The Mother's cards came out super nice and I can't wait to share! PS - Mom and damamma, be checking your mail this week! Hee hee!)

(P)lato
(P)icasso
Rosa (P)arks
Edgar Allen (P)oe
Emily (P)ost
Elvis (P)resley
Grampy (P)

"Did you PEEyet?" You dare ask why 'P' isn't a cool initial?!? Seriously. Perhaps I could handle Amanda Parks, Amanda Presley or Amanda Picasso but PEEyet? Thank goodness my last name wasn't Poke. (Come on Simpson's fans that ones for you!)

As for unplug for a day or whatever it is called...Today we were supposed to walk to Pizza Hut but because of Em's mood and the impending weather I decided we should drive (just in case). Well, Eth ABSOLUTELY did not want to ride, he wanted to walk. I'm in the middle of training a new provider and I had warned her that he's super manipulative because he has a high iq but is trapped in a 7 year old's body. So...I declare "Sorry bud, we need to take the car." What does he say? "Well! (Sigh) I thought Earth day was everyday. I guess our environment just isn't that important to you."

OMG. Count from 10 before you speak, Amanda. "NO PIZZA FOR YOU!" lol. Crazy day.

APHALK: The other day I was walking down the peanut butter aisle at the grocery store when the entire aisle fell on a lady! She needed to be rushed to the hospital but she kept yelling, "What will I do? I don't have insurance!" Suddenly a white duck appeared. He was clearly trying to tell her something. It sounded like the name of an insurance company she should call but it was very hard to understand you see, apparently ducks really like peanut butter. All we could hear was "Aphalk! Aphalk!"

Sam,
Bake first, embroider later. Make a montage of J's and S's. (I was born a P and married a P, so I've learned to improvise) Why do you get tweets from Jennifer McGuire, she does not tweet me? Also, I think you made up the part about the mothers day stuff... either that or the mailman stole mine!!

i feel so stressted out about the word verifications, there is so much pressure to perform!

dentel: prefix for an uncommon experience, such as accidentel or coincidentel. Second usage is dentel damamma that her definition is weird.
