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;

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 ... ♥



So I'm in the celebrating mood ... and I have new mini kit that I put into

P.S. - I'm not even going to mention that today is Friday the 13th. - Ok, I just did ... lol, but I refuse to talk about it, discuss it or debate it ... LOL.

4 Months and Counting ...

Holy Moly ... my daughter is officially 4 months along in her pregnancy. She definately has a baby bump and she says she feels huge ... haha. She will be getting her second ultrasound this Thursday and they are both hoping to find out the sex of the baby. Personally I like the 'surprise' of finding out at birth but they both are anxious to know and think it will be easier for decorating etc. I'm still shocked I'm actually going to be a grandma and have still not decided what I want to be called. One thing I do know is this baby is most likely to be an Aquarius, just like me ♥~♥

I'm hoping in the next few weeks to get the copies of all her wedding pictures so I can start her scrapbook. I haven't made one since her engagement album and I'm anxious to actually do it. All these things I have created and I don't take the time to actually scrap ... lol. Working has really put a crunch on my time for everything but I refuse to give up designing because I just love to do it.

This is what went into LLL Creations Dollar Mart today;
