One year ago today...

One year ago today I started my 3day journey! March 27th, 2008, was my first training walk with my team at Boulevard Park. Since then I have walked over 400 miles!! Only 24 weeks to go until this year's walk in September!

I like this style so much, I decided to make a few more :)

I used some of the Michael's $1 stamps and colored them in with watercolor pencils.

Pocket cards... This color combo looked better in my head LOL!




Two more waterfall cards...








Awhile ago I was cutting my aunt's hair (in the mall where I work) and she asked me if there was any good place in the mall to buy a birthday card. I stopped, and said, "BUY a card??? I do make them you know." She laughed, and I told her I would make her some.

So a while later I gave them to her and she turned them over to look at the back, and asked me if I had a stamp. I didn't, and told her so, and she said she was going to give me a GC to go buy one So here's the one I ordered, and it only took 5 days! I got a little bitty one, about 1" across, for the back of cards, and a larger 2 1/2" one for tags. Thanks Aunt Julie!

Homemade Skittles...

I found this on the Everything Cicut blog, by way of Genie's blog...

Here are her instructions
Making your own skittles is easy... I found directions online, but here is the short version.... I tried it and it works.
1. spray a sheet of aluminum foil with pam and then kinda wipe it down with a paper towel.
2. Use a hot glue gun to make skittles.... kinda swirling the glue gun to avoid glue strings
3. then peel them off
4. Place in plastic baggy and add a few drops of alcohol ink5. lay out to dry on wax paper

There you have it... home made skittles... you can even get creative and make shapes...!

Michael's coupon

And it's a good one!!

Notecards

My friend Holly that I work with gave me a bunch of these little giftcard boxes. She also works p/t at Starbucks, and she told me one of the other gals was going to throw these out. She brought them to me and said she thought I would be able to make something out of them! I made a few sets of cards, now I am just searching for some envelopes the right size.
