Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.....

I found this idea on line somewhere to make a cat toy our of a kleenex box and toilet paper tubes. No problem, I have many of those around here. I put that buggar together no problem filled the tubes with treats and tied it to a chair. This is how it went down....

Here are the tubes with the treats

Here is the king, Bugsy, he doesn't care about the treats, he want to be on the chair.

Lefty (Lou) getting those treats, you can see Poncho looking

And now Poncho (Pooch) is curious

And she goes in with her "tan pointer"

She pulled one out 

And she is back looking to see if there is something else, she hates those treats. HEHEE!

Silly Fat Pooch, nothing for you.

Well it was a fun 5 minutes for me. Easily entertained by these goofballs. 

"...the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches"

Friday is the opening of the March is reading month and what better way to kick it off? Dress up like a Dr. Seuss character!

Now you know that most folks pick the Cat in Hat or Thing 1 and Thing 2, but not this girl! OH NO!!

May I present, my very own STAR BELLIED SNEETCH!!!!

Here she is....and now the tedious process of making this costume.

Here is the finished Sneetch once more....

Ignore the socks, haha!

I think I may do some black lines across the shirt to make it a bit more like the ones in the book. It is hard to see her little hair piece - the black fluffy floof, but it is up there!

Here is the completed look - this is at school on the day of the event.

Dancing....hot mess? Or not?...

Here is the first 1 minute of Mini me's hip hop dance rehearsal....

Keep in mind she started class in September, not sure when they actual came up with the choreography and song....
Fun non the less...

100th Day of School

This is a big deal for the younger children. Here is what I did for last year's teacher...

This is a cute candy jar that I found on the web. You can see the post that I followed here.

This is what mini me did for her 100 items she had to bring to school. 

This year I am not sure what we will do, if anything. Had a great idea for a shirt, but mini me is over it. She isn't wearing anything that isn't cool. She's in Kindergarten now. Amazing how fast they grow and change. I would have thought I had a few more years before she had her own style and opinion, but I was wrong....

Butterfly Card

Stampendous Jumbo Butterfly Stamp
Technique Tuesday Sentiment
Inkadinkado Script Stamp

I used DCWV CREAMY card stock for the hot pink card and yellow.
I embossed with Ranger clear for the background on the card. For the butterfly I embossed with Ranger holograph. I used chalk to color the butterfly. I wasn't happy with how it looked after the chalking(I pretty much covered the glitter embossing and most of it was rubbed off). I then went over it with a Martha Stewart glitter pen. For the body I used some glossy accent. I used the Martha Stewart Ribbon Loop punch for my yellow strip. I stamped my sentiment with Staz On Jet Black. I rounded the corners with crop-a-dile.

Almost Valentine's Day

I will show you a few things that have been done around here in honor of the day of LOVE!

Found this on Pinterest Valentine Bag this is the blog I checked out for it.

I follow www.kerryspapercrafts.com, she always has amazing ideas, you can
check out her site for tutorial and videos on tons of great ideas.

The cute owl was the Valentine that mini me and I mass produced for her class.
Owl Valentine is the post I followed for that
Next to it is a shadow box frame that I cut a piece of paper and taped it to the back, tied some ribbon around and found loose hearts to fill it with. I am not sure where any of it came it from, I made this a few years ago.
OH WHAT IS THAT BEHIND THE PICTURE???? Well it is a basket of red items, a teacher gift.
 

Paperclip in the Valentine theme, maybe a gift for the Librarian?!

Nothing much here. I recycled a glass jar and put some kisses in, covered it
with valentine print material and tied a bow. Easy.

Lupus...what is it? Learn about lupus now

today the brain is slow....not able to do the massive amount of things I want to. I am still learning how to handle the limitations.

I am going to show you some cute jewels that I made with my little mini-me.

If you have these items laying around just look at what you can make

Some finished pieces, my mini me helped with these

Start with a clear coat
Paint a design, in which case I did a heart
Cover with the crackle
Finally pick your background, I did black
Finish it with another clear coat 

This is the smaller size glass bead attached to a hair pin

Necklaces and hair pins

Oh what a day!

Just trying to remember how to do this stuff. Thinking this may be a good way to reach everyone. I am going to attempt to post a picture or two of the performance last night. Although, I am feeling like I have never used a computer before, for some reason....my brain can't handle all this apple/dell stuff.
So it appears I made a picture come here from the other place I put it, which is ???? I feel technologically impaired - Amish?
