I took this picture last year on the 4th of July.  My oldest son and his cousins found a mud puddle and decided to paint themselves and bathe in it.  They would get themselves full of mud and then run to the lake side chanting “let’s get clean, let’s get clean” and jumped off the dock into the lake.  Then they ran pack to the the muddle puddle saying “let’s do it again, let’s do it again”.  We all had so much fun watching them do this for about an hour.  Anyhow :), here is a layout that I did of  my son(I am working on the rest of the photos from this fun-filled weekend).  I put it on two challenges: The Pink Elephant scrapbook #9 -summer theme and Little Red Wagon #31-altered embellishment.  I inked the white floss with butterscotch ColorBox chalk.  Thanks fo looking.  I have some more posts to share with you hopefully later

Here are some white lunch bags I stamped on and filled with goodies for my boys. The monster is from My Little Monsters from Recollections.  The hearts are from Bo Bunny Love birds.  Do you see that vase on the left?  My oldest made that at school for me!  So sweet and it’s made using a recycled glass bottle!

I just love this stamp set.  These little monsters are so fun! These containers are a mini version of large ones that my mom, brother, sister and I have.  We use them during the holidays to hold all our baked goods.  I thought these would be fun to have to either fill with candies or when they just want to bring a few cookies along to someone’s house.  They hold more than you would think .  There’s two trays and each tray held 10 cookies!  I was very surprised by this.  These are filled with monster cookies which is their favorite cookie that I make :)  I re-used the twine from the original tag that was on each container.  I used the largest tag in the Sizzix scallop tag combo set 2.  The little hearts were done with the love birds set mentioned above and colorbox chalk dark brown.  Then I wrote 2 little monsters love u!

Here’s a closer look at the tag on a different container.

Sorry I have been away for so long…don’t worry I have been crafting, just no time to blog about it :(   I am hoping to get everything updated by tomorrow night and then keep up with it!  I made this card last night and wanted to get it up to share with you.  This card is for a little boy who is losing his 2 year battle to cancer.  His wish was to celebrate Christmas and get as many Christmas cards as he can before he goes to heaven.  Here is the link       http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/21522646/detail.html                            where you can read his story and get the address to send him a card.  This is the Friday Limited Supplies challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Please find the time time to get a card to him whether you make it or buy it. 

In the eyes of children we find the joy of Christmas.  In their hearts we find its meaning.  ~Leland Thomas
