Happy Hump Day

Where does the time go?  Seems like it has been a non-stop whirlwind of activity here lately.

Yesterday, Tuesday, Ainsley had her Junior Grange Activity Day.  I don't really know much about the Grange.  I know it is a rural service community that was formed to help farmers band together to lobby.  At least that is what I seem to remember reading.  What I also know, is that our local Grange has become quite the hot spot for homeschoolers.  Tuesday afternoons are fun activities for homeschooled kids.  A chance to get out and socialize.  Yesterday, it was my job to help the kids socialize by making name tags and playing a few games.  With my Cricut I made these...

I found the svg file at svgcuts.com and my Sure Cuts A Lot software.  We played a quick game where the children made the animal sounds to try and group themselves.  And I made these....

We taped them to the children's backs and had them play a game of guess who.  I cut these with a Disney Cricut cartridge.  Guess who didn't come home with very many die cuts.  hee hee...

With the Grange and swim practice and ballet in full swing, I haven't had much time for me and crafting (did I mention I made 5 of each of the above figures?)  But, I did sneak one layout in.  Easy because it was a lift of the talented Robbie from scrapbook.com.

You can see Robbie's gallery here.  Pretty Pink Paislee and lots of Prima.  Of course, I needed lots of Zip Dry to hold it all together.

Well, still more to do here.  Tomorrow is my oldest's birthday.  So hard to believe he is already 15!  Eeeek.

Hugs.

 I guess now I should shoot for 100...when I reach that number, I will do another drawing for a kit.  How does that sound?


Life is still very busy here with school and swim and ballet and piano and....oh goodness, it makes me dizzy just thinking about it.  So, let's not think, let's just play!!!  And how about playing with the fabulous colors and sketch over at The Color Room this week.

I knew when I saw this weeks colors the paper I wanted to use.  I have had this die cut piece from Pink Paislee forever!  And I loved the photos of Mackenzie!  Lots of yummy Prima including a new butterfly.  You know I couldn't wait to dig into the box of goodies I just received.  hee hee I used Zip Dry to adhere all the flowers, buttons, trims and leaves.  I love Zip Dry these days.  It dries clear and quick, with no dimension.  It holds like crazy.  And you can even use it on your paper.  Yep, I used it everywhere here.


Well, gotta run.  Lots to do and see here.  


Hugs.
