Almost the Weekend Already?

This week just flewwwwwwwww by! I can't believe today is Friday already. And I have today off ... and tomorrow ... back to work Sunday but then off again Monday because it's Labour Day in Canada. ~ Yippee.

But another busy day today because we are going to my daughters tonight and spending the night there so we can all go to my great nephews 1st birthday party on Saturday. We are going to try to leave this afternoon so we don't hit rush hour traffic. And I get to feel my grandbaby today ... YAY! Apparently the little munchkin has been kicking up a storm ... lol.

AND ... I get to see all my daughters wedding pictures and get copies on cds. Yay .. that means I can start her scrapbook. I wish there were more hours in a day ... lol.

I still haven't had a ton of time to design but it should get better in September. I did get a chance to make these cool frames though ... lol. So they went into LLL Creations Dollar Mart today;

Love Around Frames - 2 large beautiful chrome frames for only $1.50 ~
get them HERE.



The frame is transparent behind the words too so you have the option of putting the picture just in the center and showing the paper behind the words like this ...



Or putting the picture behind the whole frame so the picture is behind the words like this ...



Either way I have to say I really like these frames and I'm sure I'll be making more. Have any suggestions? Just let me know ...

And my Back To School Promotion is on until the 15th ...
don't forget to take advantage of it ...

Ahhh ... the weekend ...

Yay! I have the weekend off ~ And not only that my September work schedule looks so much better then August. No more 5 or 6 days a week. I asked to be cut back to 4 shifts a week. That should free up a bit of time for designing ... yippee~!!

A fews posts ago (HERE) I showed a dried flower arrangement that I wanted to try. Well, I cut my Black Eyed Susans and dried then out in between some heavy books for a few weeks. It actually worked not too bad. I then put them in a frame that I had with double glass and this is what it turned out like.



I wasn't 100% satisfied with the results but I guess it wasn't too bad for my first try. I think next year I will be prepared to make a much nicer one. You really have to make sure when putting the flowers between the books that all the petals and leaves are lying flat and facing forward. Once they come out from the books and are dry you really can't change them. Also I should of picked them a bit earlier while the stems weren't so thick. I think next year I will do one with a few other flowers, make it more symetrical and have the bottom line up nicely like a bouquet. But it was really fun to try.

My great nephew is going to be a 1 year old on Sept. 8th already! Wow, that year went by fast. Next weekend is his first birthday bash and it should be alot of fun. I decided it was time to make some kids word art and so this is what went into LLL Creations Dollar Mart today;

The 'Kids 'r Kool' word art was a freebie awhile back. I usually only have 4 word art to a pack but I added that word art in case you missed it.

A Day Off ...

So much to do, so little time ... lol. Well, I have a day off and I took advantage of it by staying up way to late last night doing what I love to do - designing.~

There are so many other things I should of been doing around the house but they certainly aren't as fun ... lol. Hopefully I'll get some of those things done today. There's not alot to actually blog about right now except the weather has stayed spectacular and looks like it's going to be around for awhile. What a summer!!! It's almost back to school time and I'm sure the kiddies had one of the best summers of their lives.

I've decided to have a promotion for 'Back To School' to celebrate~

It's A .....

Well, my daughter had her ultasound on Thursday. She said it was amazing and they watched the baby do somersaults and move around. She said it was the most amazing day of her life! And ........ she found out the sex. It's a BOY!!! OMG - it's so weird knowing already. She still has 5 months to go until this precious boy is born. She is going to pay to have a 3D/4D ultrasound done in October or November and I am going to go see it! Now THAT will be totally amazing and I can't wait!!!

(Update for commenter: No need to google it ... here is the link where she is getting it done.
FETAL EXPRESSIONS.)

Here's the little guy in the below layout ... ♥
