Happy Friday

We have a full on giggler in our house now. Hope you all have a great weekend!

A day at the Zoo

For Leila’s birthday we decided to take her and two of her friends (who happen to be my BFF’s kids) to the Zoo. They had a great time and while not all the animals were still out for the day (we went later in the afternoon) they did get to see a decent amount. Favorites were, the bears, the alligators, and the tiger.

Ken has a method of taking pictures that he refers to as spray and pray. And it never fails he gets a few really good ones.

My favorites though were the outtakes. Those are always the best!

Quilt Along

So enough crabbing that I don’t have time to be creative anymore. And all it took was the chance to win a sewing machine. Have you heard about Dana’s quilt along? Besides the grand prize of a brand spanking new sewing machine (!!) she is also giving away prizes each week of the giveaway. It isn’t too late to join! And if you win the sewing machine remember me!

Time flies

I am now the momma of a beautiful ( and equally sassy) three year old. How the heck did it already start to fly by so fast!!!

Happy Friday

I hope you enjoy the long weekend with friends and family. And take the time to remember (for those American friends) those that have served so that you may have those freedoms we may take for granted. (My sister and mom are going to kill me for posting this picture I bet!)

This has been the state of our house lately. Leila and I both have the painting bug. I think I might be infatuated. The great thing about the projects I am doing is that they have to go in steps since I need drying time between each step. It forces me to slow down. I am normally a "do the craft as fast as you can to get results" type of crafter. No more and I must say I really am liking this slowed down pace.

On May 30, 2009 I will be walking in a 5K to raise funds to support the Komen Madison Race for the Cure® on May 30, 2009 in the fight against breast cancer.

I have been personally affected by breast cancer. Two of my good friends from high school have lost their mothers to the disease. This cause if very near and dear to my heart.

Money is tight for everyone I know. Any little bit you can donate will do nothing but good.

Thank you so much for your time and support in the fight against breast cancer! Every step counts!
